Inspector Maal - Namaste
Namaste is about the hermit making his way back to his tribe. It is about Integration. Just when he starts to feel like he could become a victim of his own knowledge and insight, he understands that nothing exists alone. The icy caps on high mountain peaks long to reunite with the ocean. Just like no one note on a piano has any meaning on its own, it is only the context and the relation to the note played after or before that gives it the fodder to grow and evolve. When he learns that the "self" is a construct. Has always been. When he realizes that no thought is his own. The biggest illusion is the one of separation, of being a fragment. Not running away anymore, the hermit now wants to be vulnerable. With folded hands he will walk among his own kind again one last time before he exits this plane. Because he knows it is his last time here on earth.
Pilú - Airborn Romance
Paris based Producer and DJ Pilú, head of his own label ‘Melancholia’, returns to Mumbai based label Filth Inc. with a brand new EP featuring Techno, Melodic and House influences. ‘Airborn Romance' consists of 3 tracks of great depth, atmospheric color and grain, with assiduous use of brass instruments, all in a breathtaking context. A powerful kick, distorted, humming bass, piano and brass, a masterful blend of worlds that takes the listener on an emotional trip. Melancholy, funk influences, groove, you're carried away. The airy theme is defined here by the height of the tracks. At once deep, powerful and atmospheric, we travel through extremes, lulled by a thirst for altitude then fall, dream then awakening. The vocals used on the EP's 3 tracks are real catalysts for the listener's attention, perfectly mastered and coherent in the different worlds of the tracks. Not unlike the sparkling single 'Nothing Else Matters', recently released by the artist earlier this year with similar influences but in a more jovial mood. In any case, 'Airborn Romance' reveals a new creative palette for the artist, who is so fond of juggling influences and styles to guarantee his listeners a flight to new skies.

Turqua - Stream Of Information
"Three years ago, I started composing and performing what would make my collection of 5 EPs as they stand today (fifth one being ‘Stream of Information’). I like to call these a ‘sonic diary of my life’. For Stream of Information, I introspected upon the origin story of all the pages of my sonic diary and came up with the overarching theme of streams. Recorded music begins as vibrations and analog data, gets captured and translated into digital data, and then again streamed in an analog form for us to listen to." These thoughts culminated into 5 acoustic tunes named after natural phenomena, and also includes natural sounds. In this EP, he goes back to the roots (his fascination for the sonic process, and his love for nature), and simultaneously breaks notions by releasing acoustic music after a string of electronic EPs.

Soundscape Sunset - Lullaby (Bønehead Remix)
We should be ashamed for the reckoning that made us fall. Blown my heart to pieces now i wonder, will i come back home?
Standing still, blood & steel, pouring down the corridor. Bless my will, i want to live, but i can't decide for how long.
Ripping through the ages waiting for our son to come once more. Lay down my sweet brother. cause the sun is gonna heal our bones.

"A child the size of a cub holds the hands of elders, walks around amazed, shuddered, amused, and entertained; all at the same time. The child grows up with memories of walks in places where creatures are trapped and humans stare at them for some weird kind of kicks. As a fairly adult person, I introspect on life in its myriad forms and express it through my music. I look very differently at zoo trips now. Among other thoughts, I wonder how human prejudice starts at things like racism and permeates into the way we treat other life forms. We promise roaring lions, playful monkeys, bathing hippos to take our kids to the zoo, ignoring smaller and perhaps less eye-candy creatures like frogs and snakes. I’ve been trying to understand the role of these creatures in our ecosystems and the fascinating ways they function. Appreciating life for life itself, and looking at the bewildering ways humans treat fellow creatures manifested Chidiyaghar (Hindi for ‘zoo’)." The cover art is created by Manasa Jangala, a visual artist from India. She depicts the four creatures inspiring the four tracks in a subdued colour sketch of a zoo that invokes 2000s nostalgia.
