[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................
The latest release from Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes
Kostakis to the label for his debut EP. The South African artist
first appeared in 2014 on Get Physical with the Beatport chart
success 'iKalimba'. With the backing of Adriatique, Pete Tong
and Solomun, Kostakis has since showcased his music via Chapter
24 Records and KATERMUKKE. Now landing on Movement Recordings,
the Cape Town resident presents his 'Ithaca' EP, alongside
remixes from Matchy, Paul Anthonee and Chris Sen.
Beginning with the title selection Kostakis explores a
contemporary astral narrative. Tough beats and a chugging groove
sit at the foundation while haunting pads and spacey arps
descend over the framework. Fluid and cosmic in equal measure,
rugged rhythms push momentum into a tense yet emotive break,
before tasteful modulation peaks and striking stabs cue a
powerful finale. The companion piece 'Ithaca' follows a similar
sonic ethos and sits as a perfect complement to its predecessor.
It's rolling groove is not only powerful but perfectly
contoured, adorned with fiery percussion and ethereal effects.
Astral fragments and pensive arps drift across the framework
while dramatic overlays continue to build tension into the
break. Cavernous yet striking, the centerpiece melts down to an
effervescent sizzle, as a gentle rush sparks a driving final
movement.
The lone interpretation of 'Telos' is provided by Matchy who
makes his label debut. The Berlin based producer has been a
creative force in the melodic house and techno scene. Releases
on BeatFreak Recordings, KATERMUKKE, Stil Vor Talent and Suara
highlight his discography while a unique DJ style has seen him
continually delight crowds at Sisyphos and Katerblau. Drawing on
the sensibilities of the original the Berlin resident leans
closer to peak time territory, with a reworked groove and
rolling rhythmic core. Vocal loops and piercing effects sit atop
a layer of tonal tension, perfectly setting up a break that is
both illuminating and emotive, before ultimately shifting energy
into a fiery finale.
The first interpretation of 'Ithaca' is provided by Paul
Anthonee who returns to the label for his seventh appearance.
The Cyprus based artist last appeared on the Greek imprint in
October of 2019 with a contribution to the label's ADE Sampler.
Also laying claim to releases on Beatfreak Recordings, Parquet
Recordings, Steyoyoke and Suara, Paul now returns to Movement
Recordings with a stunning rendition of 'Ithaca'. Setting the
piece in motion, a foundation of driving beats and percussive
waves converge for a wall of momentous energy. Electric rhythms
complement the rolling foundation, while effervescent arps steal
the air at timely moments. The main break furthers the
storyboard through tastefully twisted modulation before striking
chord stabs usher in an exhilarating drop and thrilling final
movement.
The release concludes with Chris Sen making his label debut and
providing the second and final interpretation of 'Ithaca'. The
South African artist lays claim to an impressive discography,
highlighted by releases on Einmusika and Ein2. Now making a
welcome debut on Movement Recordings the Pretoria resident
provides a powerful rendition of 'Ithaca'. Fluid and groovy in
equal measure, it's a mix that carries the sensibility of the
original, while adding a tenser vibe through sizzling sonic
artefacts and fragmented arps. Building beautifully into the
break, drifting atmospheres carry tension across the centrepiece
while clustered electronics and mind-bending effects unite for a
cosmic crescendo. A rousing rendition from the South African
artist, rounding out another must have offering from Tash's
Movement Recordings.
