Tied US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Max Jacobson's 'Green Mill' EP on Tied channels the raw, immersive vibe of Chicago's underground, weaving minimal, deep, and tech house into a cohesive journey. Opening with 'Green Mill,' the EP sets a deep groove with atmospheric layers and subtle melodies. Sepp's remix on the flip strips things back, adding his signature minimal touch and fresh textures to shift the track into new terrain. Side B brings 'Automatic,' a punchy, rhythm-driven piece, while 'Mortal' closes with introspective soundscapes and fluid grooves. This EP is a late-night essential for fans of intricate house rhythms.

Review: Chicago's Tied label rolls out a 17th release as good as all the previous ones, this time with a four-track various artists EP that showcases emerging talents from deep, spacey electronic realms. Just_Me's 'Laser Brane' launches the journey with electro-funk propulsion, while Lumieux's 'In Your Space... It's Me In Space' drifts into cosmic grooves and ambient textures. On the B-side, Constratti's meticulously crafted 'Bind' delivers intricate synth delays and solid rhythms that capture the feeling of interstellar motion. Label head Max Jacobson and 97 Till close with 'Orion,' a break-infused and celestial house cut built for late-night floors.
