As hypnotic, as you would expect from the Canadian mastermind, Akufen lures you into a trance and keeps you guessing, progressing from dextrous minimal textures to full on fluid jazzy piano interpretations.

Berlin based Carmine and Matteo aka Tale Of Us, first rose to prominence on the Visionquest imprint in 2011 and have since released on Life And Death and M_nus. Next up, the unstoppable duo Tale Of Us transport one of the more playful ?Blurry? cuts ?Kissing Your Eyes? into a brooding dubby sound bed of live sounding drums combined with rippling echoing synth melodies. Now soon to drop is a package of unmissable ?Blurry Remixes? featuring a trio of first class reworks by Dixon¨ Tale Of Us and Akufen Innervisions boss and Berlin luminary Dixon turns in a storming reimagining of the atmospheric, electronic matrix of ?Level 7? where straight talking techno does the driving as layers build, get stripped back then steered onto a more melodic path underpinned by a rumbling deep bassline. This is the first release on Mathew Jonson’s new label entitled “Freedom Engine”Ī true techno auteur, Mathew Jonson earlier this year released his second solo album, ?Her Blurry Pictures? on Crosstown Rebels, encompassing a new evolution in his rhythmically complex and timeless approach over eight fluid and rich composition.

The package is a magnificent addition to the legacy of ‘Decompression’ and coming next will be remixes from Seth Troxler, Deadbeat, Mike Shannon and Natalia Escobar. Konrad Black slows things down with a darker groove whilst Nathan Jonson's 'rewind to 96’ utilises rave tropes and chopped vocal samples. dBridge steps up for two remixes, the first is warped and deconstructed, the second a high energy Drum & Bass belter. The first EP of the series features remixes from dBridge, Konrad Black and Nathan Jonson, each artists contribution provides a fresh approach to a package fuelled by the influence of Drum & Bass. To celebrate 13 years since it's release Mathew has commissioned 11 artists to remix this classic split over 4 releases. Mathew Jonson's “Decompression” was first released on Minus in 2004.
