This EP – or whatever you want to call it – is indicative of Vlek’s deconstructive/reconstructive spirit. The Nap is a product fusing just about every beloved vinyl-based format: Its 7 tracks gives the sense of an LP, the 20-minute duration suggests otherwise, and an 8-minute track on the entirety of the B side whiffs strongly of a 12” single.

Premiere: Glass Figure – Nowhere
Vocoder blazing and synth arpeggios glancing off, the Drexciyan title-track whizzes at mega light speed like a space-traveling vessel flashes across fields of asteroids, in search for a new planet to colonise. You’re in for a treat.

Premiere: SMD – Far Away From A Distance (Lena Willikens Remix)
Lena Willikens version of ‘Far Away From A Distance’ is as bold as it is fidgety. Driven by a restless bumpy arpeggio – or is it the sound of a bottle pouring its intoxicating liquid to the top edge? – the track takes off for an harum-scarum flight across murky post-industrial lowlands as thwacking claps beat their binary pulse at industrial pace.

Mind Lotion: Altitude Attitudes
As Fantastic Man, Superconscious Records boss Mic Newman got us used to hi-NRG blends of organic, exotica-infused boogie and straight-up jacking rhythms. Under his Mind Lotion moniker, it’s a feast of chimey inflections and vaporous flute lines that unfurls, matching the intoxicating feel of the summits with the horizontal quietness of a shimmering seaway.
Premiere: rkss ‘Load’
“Cutoff EP” presents perhaps the warmest, most direct sounds yet heard from the London based artist. Its combination of glowing reverb soaked pads, housey kicks and twisted electronic detritus coming across like Wolfgang Voigt played through a futurist filter.
