Singular Recordings From Separate Artists, Bound Together Through Nunos Spellbinding Powers Of Creation
Sales Information:
SoHaSo's saga continues with a sound selection of singlets. Singular recordings from separate artists, bound together through Nuno Dos Santos' spellbinding powers of creation and combination. The result is SOMEWHERE I and II. Two compilations to be released digitally later this summer, with this vinyl sampler as a first taste of what's to come.
Fusing four artists on one dark slab, it's an almost all Dutch affair, with a sprinkle of their southern Belgian neighbours thrown into the mix. Quince, slowly crawling back from obscurity, delivers with Europa. Referring not so much to the continent as to Jupiter's water bearing moon, it feels like a never ending trip through space. On acid.
Stefan Vincent takes off where Quince ends his trip. From space straight up to heaven. Celestial arped strings blended through beeps and blips into something that's definitely not from this planet. A gift from the gods.
On the flip side we find Kiani & His Legion dishing out the basslines. Pitch bended into oblivion, At The Violet Hours is made for peaktime moments, again layered with arpeggiated stabs that keep it all together. There's a pattern to be found here.
Closing duties are awarded to Polynation, who's done a stellar job with Anther. Giving the feel of a victory run, it's the ideal end to a beautiful compilation. Four tracks, each with their own distinct personalities, yet somehow feeling cohesive. It's the power of SOMEWHERE, and there's a lot more to come.
