Interstellar Odyssey EP

Capítulo VII: “Ahora más que nunca”

London-based imprint Alter Hour returns with a stripped back and dubby 4-track EP, skillfully curated by Massud Matin - an antique restorer hailing from Tehran and based in Bremen. As an artisan of both artifacts and beats, Massud seamlessly applies his craft to the music, restoring the essence of the old school with his unique blend. The EP is elevated even further with a remix by the unstoppable Romanian force, Direkt.

Goodtunes first release GT001, comes from Natebytheway, a San Francisco born, now Berlin based Producer and DJ. This EP delivers 4 cuts of different flavors, as the title suggests- ‘Forms of Flavour’The first cut —PVPNT— gifts us a 90s-style tech-house bomb with Nate’s signature beeps, bloops and flowy textures. A useful tool for a variety of atmospheres.Takemeonatrip utilizes the deeper and warmer side of house music to bring you some luscious pads, warm basslines and french vocals from the mysterious Zoe.Mr. Poems and Choochoochugging compliment the record with two deep yet distinct flavours of deep house, both accompanied with pumping basslines, tripped out vocals and percussive pleasures that are sure to get you moving.

Suicide AFTR 7 is a musical partnership forged across two continents. This cross-Atlantic collaboration was founded in Barcelona by New York’s Neud Photo and London’s Antic. Distributed by Runas, a new label also based in Barcelona. New beat and Proto-Wave influences permeate the 12”.Lean, mean, and evocative, "Soft Geometry" sets the stage with its blend of classic analogue textures and a sound palette that evokes the darker, more hypnotic side of electronic music. Throaty samples whisper through a synthesizer smoke, sodden bass lines throb against scaling crystalline chords.The standout track, "Interplay", is an instant classic. Lyrics are distant, words ring, “Distant shadows," as snapping snares and warming pulses pull the listener closer drawing you deeper into its hypnotic world. Across the four offerings, a brooding dance floor looms; a shadowy square of bodies shrouded in fog, pierced by strobe. This track will stick with you long after the music fades, a perfect blend of light and shade. It's the undeniable dancefloor moment on the EP, forever playful, forever bumpin."Last Word" pulses with a cold, hypnotic groove, driven by a deep 808 groove that'll get you moving. Think hypnotic rhythms, driving basslines, and a touch of electro grit. Slow, ethereal strings and shimmering synth stabs create an atmosphere of tension, punctuated by film noir samples.A sinister seam runs through the entire EP, coming to the surface for “Blind Spot.” Terse percussive patterns and eclipsed synthlines are stalked by vocals stripped of emotion, the mantra of “We are your enemy” encircling to a close.

Continuing the saga, mad mad drama. No overhyped faces to find here, just straight up techno from the heart. Lost Trax... Beware!!..
