AWITW - Maritime (released on 10.11.2023)
Description: "Maritime is an album that I composed during different stays by the sea. It continues in the line of my projects of which my love for the ocean is the main source of inspiration. I used sounds between Lo-Fi and Chillwave mixed with rhythms and chords from dub techno and house, also borrowing sounds inspired by Boards of Canada, to guide this journey into a warm universe. It is also the warmth of love for my family that emanates from this album, each composition stay with my parents also being a precious moment of reunion. I am happy to share with you & through Golden Forest this intimate & personal project, and hope that you will feel this warm presence that is the maritime atmosphere when listening to this album".

Globalix - Electro Synth Compilation (Mix, made by Sylka) [published on 20.01.2024]


Tracklist:

Human Rebellion - Kosmik Trip EP (released on 29.02.2024)
Description: "We kick off 2024 with some sonic grooves from French duo Human Rebellion. Their "Kosmik Trip EP" has four spacey, electro cuts with wicked remixes from Sync 24 & Co-Accused. This is a relatively new electro producer duo but one that has gained a following in a short amount of time. "Kosmik Trip EP" is his fourth overall and perhaps his best yet. The title track is an electro stormer with no letup in sight. Killer material! Human Rebellion launch the EP with the title track "Kosmik Trip" a mind bending intergalactic destroyer. Sync 24s remix sees the trip take a dark turn with sinister vocals & hypnotic builds. Co-Accused take it into techno territory with a relentless, high energy take on the original. Futuristic, apocalyptic, dancefloor destroying electro of the highest order. "Censored Truth" opens the portal to the B side with free-radical synths intertwining with dark machine funk. Punchy drums in another stormer that is relentless but very groovy at the same time "Hybridization" pull you towards a distress beacon, with face-hugging builds and chest bursting drops. Human Rebellion round off the release with the dystopian, driving sounds of "Jupiterians!" Sounds really impressive!

Alpha Rhythm - The Planets (released on 09.02.2024)
Description: "Fokuz look to the stars for their next release as Alpha Rhythm rallies up the troops and charges up the rockets for an adventure around each planet in our the Solar System. Joining him on this stellar trip are IYRE, Villem, Leo Wood, Natus, Maykors & Gemma Rose and the view is every bit as stunning as you'd expect. From breath-taking vocals & soul of "Venus" to the dreamy Spring and bounce of "Neptune" via the much darker, pensive momentum of "Jupiter", it's an intriguing & exciting project that encompasses many great talents of D'n'B scene, including Alpha Rhythm himself. Highly recommended. Ready for take off?" Yes, I'm not a big fan of Drum'n'Bass, but nevertheless, I must say that this longplay turned out to be very nice, easy for listening & even stands out among other releases of this musical style! Thumbs Up!
