akiko kiyama is back on lmd after kick starting the label with her acclaimed misidia monarchy ep. since then her sound has matured and grown, the flesh got spirit ep shows this in more ways than one. with a brooding sub low bassline & twisted intricate layers a genius vocal comes into play lifting the track only then to be placed back into the depths of the abyss. treppen is a peak time destroyer, sucking you into a hypnotizing rhthym that builds and builds creating a feeling that something is about to happen, strange vocals that sound like lost souls haunt the track hooking you in only to spit you back out onto a roller coaster baseline. sometimes is a harmonic cruise control roller that takes you on a trip through akikos wonderland.

vinyl only.

lmds first ever collaboration ep * echoes of paradise* by shaun soomro & mikael stavostrand gets reworked. legendary cult producer josh brent reworks * street code symphony* in classic schatrax esque style turning it into a beautiful timeless cut. it recalls his best works as schatrax - sparse, jacking, lush and dreamy with a sense of mystery created by a master crafts man who set the blueprint for this sound. shaun soomro’s re-vision of paradise lost takes things in a completely different direction also, but in heavyweight dub mode. drawing its groove from a mesmerising sub bass, shaun layers and recomposes from the first violin recording session & plays in new string segments that blossom and develop the more you listen, creating a epic symphonic dub masterpiece. one for the late night warriors! both artists turn out exceptional reworks primed for those special dance floor moments
