“We know that from cyclists, when they listen to our music, they understand; they listen, and they understand how the music is composed. It's important when you move with your bicycle to listen to the environment, the surroundings, the wind and your own breath.”

“Deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences. Distinctly modern, highly-propulsive body music with an unapologetically emotive core.”

“Dreamy synth-work, lush pads and an understated bassline punctuate State Of Mind, before the apache takes centre stage amidst mournful melodies and echoed snares, setting an unforgettably melancholic tone. A subtle but bliss love-letter to yesteryear.”

“These pieces allow us, perhaps, to think on how we live our lives in facets; how we catch fleeting glimpses, how we walk through our lives, how we notice the turning year.”

“the next step on a journey of exploring the endless possibilities available when forces combine inside the echo chamber.”

“a brand new audio visual collaboration exploring Mexico's ancestral sounds and pre-Hispanic cultures from the point of view of two creators of audiovisual arts of the 21st century. It is a synthesis between ancient ritual music and the repetitive rhythms of modern electronic musical styles.”

“treats us to a desert folk music-informed voyage into opaque melodic grounds. Relying on a palette similar to that of dub techno all the while implementing and polishing a distinctive sonic approach, half-way surgical BMB oomph, rage-filled drone and Berber traditions.”

“A body vibrates producing a sound that reaches another body and makes it vibrate and generate a new sound that makes another body vibrate that generates another sound... Imagine an infinite orchestra of bodies multiplying their sound vibrations creating the symphony of RESONANT BODIES. Resonance as a principle of COMMUNICATION”

“presents an alternative vision of electronic dance music steeped in astrology, philosophy, metaphysical science and ritual. As a trained, accomplished dancer, Fournier-Mercadante draws inspiration from dancing as an ancient custom responding to the atomic vibrations of the universe.”

“We’re taking elements of guitar culture, like distortion and smearing, and inserting them into the technology and language of electronic music. We’d seen bands try to do this before, but it always felt too ‘arty’, happy, or unstructured. We wanted to do it but make it heavy, and create focused, structured songs.”

“Lolito eases us into his nostalgic headspace, omnidirectionally nodding to UK bass, post-trance, instrumental hip-hop and proto-futuristic abstraction on his journey towards greater expanses. Toasting to the impermanence of things, “Memory File Hosting” is a sonic UFO in its own right.”

“n extraordinary, mysterious accomplishment which at times bears comparison with the meditative minimalism of composers such as Arvo Pärt or Henryk Górecki. Beginning with strings and voices, but slowly integrating Jóhannsson’s electronic techniques into its landscape.”

“Near-humanoid behaviour emerges from liquid patterns, laid out and brought to life by the freewheeling encounter of modular waveforms and snappy envelopes. Sounds evoke metallic textures – ringing, scraping, subduing – and virtual shapes, ranging from tiny spikes to vast surfaces.”

“recorded in an intimate studio setting through a process of self-erected barriers, like an effort to create more hurdles and curb certain indulgent expressions that can come through uninvited. There was an idea of imbalance and constant rebalancing involved, as an attempt to focus creative attention.”

“taking inspiration from their robust history of collaborations and passion for electronic and classical music to create sound that’s both cinematic and danceable, built on lush harmony, catchy patterns and driving rhythms that form an outer space trance.”

“Do we transcend? Do we just waste away? Does it matter? What is important is the present and how we can be better for ourselves and others around us in every aspect of our lives. This album is a representation of the six stages of the human condition. Birth, growth, emotion, aspiration, conflict and mortality.”

“Vaikka Virtasen laulu karkaa paikoin saavuttamattomiin, ei musiikki käännä missään vaiheessa selkäänsä. Kokonaisuus abstrahoituukin vaikeasti määriteltäväksi välittämisen tunnuksi, josta kajastava kauneuden sanoma ei vaadi käsitteitä tuekseen. Juuri sellaista miljardien tähtien keskelle eksyneellä pallolla tarvitaan.”
