Mace. continues his path of sound experimentation to dark and throbbing scenarios with this first EP entitled "The Heavens Are Already Theirs". After the electro cinematic tape "The Metamorphosis Through Dreams" (Further Records 2013) and the experimental/dark statement "The Wealth Of Nations" (Eclipse Music 2013) "The Heavens Are Already Theirs" looks like a set of tracks chronologically different from each other. The mixture of the elements combines the slow-tempo gloomy rhythms of tracks such as "Alcol" and "La Stasi" with the anxyolitic mood from the B sides tracks "Ballad" and "Il Vecchio Della Montagna".

Following his recent collaborations with Ai Records, Electronique.it, and Icon of Desire, passEnger finally comes back to Eclipsemusic to release a new 12” vinyl record, titled ‘Chord Abuse EP’. The release takes off with “Solar Flare”, one of passEnger’s most airy, housey and positive works till now, with its melodic sequence and uplifting atmosphere. On the same side of the 12”, “Surface Debris” de-construct the classic techno elements to build an abstract, moody, hyper-cynetic slice of futuristic techno. On side B “Solar Flare” gets then a special remix treatment by Stephen Brown, one of the most personal and notable European Techno producers: the result is a tight, swinging rework of tiny slices of the original, turning the track into a classic techno builder..

Eclipsemusic is pleased to announce the sixth release introducing the talented canadian producer Matt Thibideau. He is known in Toronto, Detroit, Montreal, & Berlin for having performed with the ikes of Mike Huckaby, Akufen, Richie Hawtin andreleasing music on labels such as Mike Shannon's Cynosure and Sub-Static with hisnew wave-industrial band Repair.. Matt has a very personal approach to making music that refuses to use software instruments and give free expression to his unlimited passion for the sound of his analog synthesizers. He records directly through a mixer playing his live instruments. This particular feature shines through his deep and warm sound! "When It's Time" is a typical techouse style track with a solid structure consisting of a straight and bouncy rhythm, deep bass with futuristic chords and techy arpeggiators running over it. The track starts very deep develops into a more raw sound that leaves no survivors on the dance floor! "Holding On To You" is a much more dub-oriented track This time we have ambient and rarefied atmosphere which develops progressively over a repetitive bass line and drum machine rhythm with a mixture of chords and pads typically inspired by the Basic Channel sound. The title track "Night Drive" (licensed from Matt's Obsolete Components record label) is a masterpiece of deep house music vaguely reminiscent of many mid-nineties works from labels like Guidance Recordings and Wave Music, that will become an instant classic for all deep-house heads. Very melodic and groovy bass line with a mixture of pads, reverberated chords and many delayeffected elements. 7 minutes of pure deepness.

"Intro" is a perfect-designed ouverture that serves what is really missing in EP's nowadays: a growing, capturing, lyrical climax without dropping any easy kickdrum in it. Perfect to start any promising set with THAT Detroit flavour.The deepest track of the set, "Claroambiente" starts as the breaths it features: an opalescent electronic miniature that promises really well. The track soon develops in a moony, melodic techno/house affair, revealing a conscious and introspective songwriting.The title track goes then straight to the core: a rolling, chord-driven techno groove, featuring a climax that transforms the song from a moody atmospheric piece into an uplifting and positive track.

Mighty Vertebrate is the International Anthem debut from Anna Butterss. The Adelaide born bassist / composer has been a first call for LA tour and studio work since relocating there in 2014 – racking up credits with notables across the experimental, jazz, and pop worlds alike – but their most notable contributions to the burgeoning LA scene have been as a member of both Jeff Parker’s ETA IVtet and rising proto-trance supergroup SML, who Pitchfork says “represents the thrilling next phase of a vibrant L.A. community.”

“I had just gotten off of a bunch of touring at the end of 2022 and just wanted to write music,” says Butterss. “The best way for me to do that, I’ve found, is to set myself a discreet and focused task."

I’m going to make a song where the bass doesn’t function in the role of a bass.
I’m going to work on this for an hour and then I’m going to stop.
I’m going to make a song that uses groups of three-bar phrasing.
I want to sample something and make it into a song.
I’m going to start with a drum machine.

The music itself reflects that structure beautifully, with the material being tightly
composed and melodically realized by Butterss well in advance of production concerns. Here they reconvene a group of trusted longtime collaborators to bring their compositions to fruition: Ben Lumsdaine (drums, guitar, production), Josh Johnson (sax), and Gregory Uhlmann (guitar), plus a smoking guest appearance from Jeff Parker. The breadth and scope of the results might have been difficult to achieve otherwise. From the Robbie-Shakespeare-in-groove-mode intro to the album opener “Bishop” to the spacious cinematic doom of “Seeing You”, there is a lot to wrangle into one cohesive concept. On Mighty Vertebrate, Butterss and crew do just that. More

These tracks are among my absolute favourites in the realm of house music. Their haunting grooves seamlessly blend into house, techno or even garage sets. Despite being recorded about 30 years ago the sonic quality remains unmatched for its time, embodying the essence of timeless music.

However, I’ve never been entirely satisfied with the sound of the original pressings. The vinyl limited total time length compromised the audio quality. Thus, I’ve long desired to remaster it in my studio and properly cut them, which led to our decision to undertake this endeavour.

I am immensely proud of this release and thrilled to include it in our exquisite collection on Pariter. YA.

10 Year anniversary edition, recut and remastered from the analogue tape masters from Bazza's Alchemy Mastering in London; focusing and enriching every finite detail. This EP features 2 new pieces of sonic meditation residing somewhere between space and time, somewhere in the cosmos. With the title track, "Beyond Starlit Sky", vaporous atmospheres emerge from the distance, while ghostly apparitions and analog modulations rise to the surface of a truly hypnotizing rhythm, submerging the mind deep into an analog world. With the "Live" version a mixture of themes from "Fading Lights" and "Beyond Starlit Sky" find an engaging syncopation, resting somewhere in the ether. Those who loved Echospace's "The Coldest Season" on Modern Love will have plenty to adore here, timeless in all senses of the word. More
