Maribou State- Olivia EP (Preview Mix)

Naming themselves after possibly the most ugly creature in the animal kingdom may have been a mistake (the cuddlier caribou would've made more sense). Their music on the other hand is most definitely not; Maribou State set the bar in producing beautifully crafted atmospheric bass-music. They have announced their second E.P. entitled 'Olivia' available on Fat! records in February. Here is a little two track blend from the forthcoming E.P. Also have a listen to their December mix on the Fat! sound cloud.

Soul Intent- Hurt Me (Project 51)

Nottingham's Soul Intent has been hard at work and we can expect this to be released in early 2012.  Great vision on this track the combination of deep bass and snarling synths is beautifully contrasted against uplifting female vocals.

[502004] Desto & Jimi Tenor 'Eightfold Path'/ Desto, Clouds & Jimi Tenor ft. Cha Cha 'Time Bird'

Two new tracks from DJ Oneman's 502 label.  Producers Desto & Clouds and flutist Jimi Tenor collaborate to create 'Time Bird'. Desto & Clouds combine Cha Cha's beautiful Chinese vocals (I thought they sounded french at first) with down-tempo beats, atmospheric synths and Jimi Tenor's unique flute licks. 
The flute theme continues in 'Eightfold Path'.  The backbone of 'Eightfold Path' is created through a bass driven pulse; the flutes floating melody drives the tune and its combination with string echoes provides a sense of nervous suspense.  Its amazing what results can be achioeved when people from different musical backgrounds put their heads together.  Weird videos...
Out on the 28th of November.
