In Waves Vinyl & CDs

Review: In Waves continue their deep-sea abyssal theme with Draso's latest EP 'The Moment Is Forever', which captures the perceived timelessness of life's most euphoric moments. Harmony and wholesomeness over discordancy is paramount to this music's vision. 'Hygge', the not-completely-translatable Dutch word meaning something adjacent to "homely warmth", opens the EP in shuffly, twinkly, wondrous tech house form. We segue through similarly awestruck moods until we reach the closer 'Harmony Of Colour', the EP's zenith, which is tempered by myriad twinkly sounds, be they piano, arp synth, or glockenspiel.

Review: Subtle deep, future house from Flowers On Monday, who here release their 4-track EP 'Pirates Of The Sun' on In Waves. Gradually unfurling and recalling the likes of Kiasmos, Bonobo or HAAi - but with an extra vocal flair - the tracks are synaesthetic and stooped piano-ambient, with organic sounds stretched and layered as sonic beds behind the beats. A favourite, 'Secret Place', affectionately blends triplet organs with a driving beat.

Review: Letters From Home is a gorgeous new single from Rowee and Flowers On Monday. The original is a deep and shimmering late-night house lullaby with soft drums and shakers all sinking you into a reverie. The keys and synths are impossibly delicate and innocent up top as the groove unfurls and you fall ever more in its spell. The Mass Digital remix is an even more zoned-out affair with the addition of some angelic vocal sounds and the DSF remix brings a more prominent but still smoky and heavenly vocal over more percussive drums. Slow Hearts closes down with a last magnificent rework.

Review: South Atoms is an artist from Argentina who brings plenty of Latin flair to this new EP on In Waves. The artwork conveys the underwater fluidity of the opener 'Bersine' which is a rolling and deep tech cut with delicate melodies sprinkled up top next to shards of piercing synth light. 'El Mundo De Las Cosas' picks up the pace with more slapping tech funk and shimmering chords. It is on 'Persea' that things slow down a little with humid pads and tropical vibes over the deep rolling kicks. 'Rinconade' might be the best of the lot with its majestic bell sounds and undulating rhythms worming their way into your affections.
