back in stock - ishq - orchid
|
this debut album by ambient wizard ishq was released on interchill records in early febuary 2002. due to the continued popularity of this timeless album it was re-pressed in december 2007. the purpose of orchid is not to focus on the music but rather escape from it an album of aural expressionism intent upon restorative contemplation..... a blissful habitat of reassuring tones, gentle melodies and drifting ambience highly recommended for those who like their space music a bit more down to the earth' - this is classic ambient chillout at its best.... |

devil in the detail is the latest downtempo breaks and bass compilation from interchill records. with a heavy dose of chunk, crunch and glitched out textures, this album presents a diverse range of idm-inspired tunes from producers in the us, uk, holland, switzerland and israel. compiled by uk-based label dj/webmaster/graphic designer nick edell, this fresh collection of tracks opens a new horizon in the interchill multiverse with a focus on clear minimalism and hyper-refined sounds. emphasizing the growing glitch scene emerging on the west coast of north america, devil in the detail brings together a complimentary selection of tunes from this intriguing musical aesthetic. from the delicate and atmospheric spaces of faction, tripglitch (aka tripswitch) and legiac to the rumbling bass and beats of gaudi, tipper, ooah and vibesquad, the compilation is all about the detail - leaving much to the imagination while revealing the fact that there’s more to the psychedelic world of downtempo electronica than first meets the eye. |

walkin' target is the debut album of producer / bass player / solo artist ashtech. an intersection of original dub styles and urban electronica, the album is produced and co-written by dub maestro gaudi with an emphasis on live sound manipulations and high-end engineering. with ashtech’s fat basslines laying down deep, dub-wise grooves and gaudi's solid production trademark imprinted throughout, this roots laden album includes 4 tracks featuring the inimitable vocal stylings by cheshire cat from the legendary production outfit leftfield. this album draws its name from the title track which tells the story of the ‘walkin’ target’ – the sad and true story of a mother who lost her child and did not have the time to say goodbye. this track, in the finest roots-reggae tradition, speaks to the oppressed, suffering and defenceless people of the world, the victims of a system that makes ‘everyone a walkin’ target’. |
