It’s been 4 years since labelboss Darko Esser released an EP of his own on Wolfskuil Ltd. The focus as of late has been on his Tripeo project, resulting in two vinyl only Trips to critical acclaim. All the studio activity led to a whole bunch of other music as well and a few of his favorite sessions are bundled on this conceptual EP. We all can relate to the feeling of being Out Of Context, that we have lost touch with our environment and the people around us or are simply just lost for words. Darko translated these abstract feelings into a soundtrack in three parts (Space, Time, Translation) as music is sometimes a better indicator of how we feel then words. Not suprisingly the result is a soundtrack that is quite moody, hypnotic and multi-layered. It’s dub- and detroit-techno, Esser style. Recognizable but at the same time very distinct and personal, melodies wrapped in abstract sound design, the atmosphere both happy and sad. Ambiguity and introspection have always been a big part of his work, this EP just takes it to the next level.

Marc Houle needs little introduction, with previous releases on M¦nus, Innervisions and his own label Items & Things. We were humbled by the fact that he sent us a bunch of amazing tunes, and were very happy to release them. Banging, melodic, moody,.It's all there, pitch-black.

It sounds ridiculous to state that this is Efdemin's best release so far on Curle, when you realise that's the artist that brought us classics like Acid Bells and America... But the whole EP truly is amazing from start to finish. All tracks feature Efdemin’s brand new second mix-album called 'Naïf'.

Since making their debut on the imprint in 2013 with 'Blue Aconite', the Italian duo Hiver has since released two more EPs on Curle. Kicking off the EP is 'Elipse', a stunning four-minute track that nods to avant-garde artists such as Wolfgang Voigt's GAS alias or Brian Eno, as the pair gradually weaves several layers of shining, atmospheric tones before slowly fading into the background.

Edanticonf's music feels perfectly crafted for the brooding atmospheric venues he so often performs in. Both the aforementioned adjectives can be attributed to his style of techno too, one that places the focus less on the technical side and more onthe human one, aiming to reflect his emotions and state of being through the hazy soundscapes that draw influence from the natural scenery around him.

I got to know Gavin Russom's music thanks to the amazing 'The Days Of Mars' album he recorded together with Delia Gonzalez now ten years ago on DFA Records. Flash forward to last year, when we released Michele Mininni's trippy 'Endless Ceremony'. Gavin Russom loved that one and sent over a demo shortly after - you're listening to it now. I am really proud to be able to release an EP from such an extraordinary artist, enjoy! 1st pressing on splattered 12"! (transparent vinyl with pink, light blue & black splatters)

Talbot Wood is a young producer from Antwerp, Belgium. He was featured on a Various Artists EP on Other Heights earlier this year, but this is his debut EP. 'Analepsis', a funky dub techno track, is definitely the bomb on this one. 'Dream Sequence' is a lot deeper, but his good friend Locked Groove (Hotflush Recordings) turned it into a stomper too. Sure shots for the floor these!
