Impish & Vasilisa – Haze [Burelom]

From Russia with love; Audio Plants Recordings bring us a new sub label in the form of Burelom (pronounced ‘boorelom’). Their first release comes with two great collabs, with Impish & Vasilisa teaming up on vocal-led techstep roller Haze while Hidden Element, Liquid Break and Kiyomi explore deeper territory with the ambient drumfunk of I See The Light.

Watch out for this one dropping on vinyl from Jan 27th.

Hidden Element & Liquid Break – Lifeforms EP [Translation]

US label Translation brings us a lovely slice of deep liquid from Ukrainian duo Hidden Element and live drummer Liquid Break. Taking a few leaves out of Seba’s book of song-writing but adding a live drummer to the mix, W.H.O.O.A. dishes up sweeping synths, twinkling keys and an intricate yet laid-back beat, while Watch Me ups the pace a wee bit and adds some jazzier influences to the tone.

Elsewhere Hidden Element go it alone, serving up a distinctly trap influenced dark skanker in the form of Hot Pants and a nice slice of melody driven dubstep on Musiq. Have a listen for yourself and watch out for the beats dropping via all good digital outlets from September 30th!
