It might sound as an exaggeration, but the upcoming single on Rabih Beaini’s Morphine Records is from another dimension.

When Digitalis announced upfront digital single to the album, I thought Paco Sala is a moustached electronics explorer from New Mexico. In fact it’s a solo project by Antony Harrison AKA Konntinent, who now presents his first Paco longplayer. He’s not alone as the vocal part is done by eloquentRead More →
Expected release date June 2012 After long shifts in the studio, London techno engineer Tom Russell AKA Truss drops a few new releases this spring. A four-tracker is the first of a two-part EP on Our Circula Sound. The track title “Clytha” might derive from a distant star, or anRead More →
