SOLSTICE III

TRACKLIST A1 Mytron - Shisha House (Edit) A2 Ayala (It) - Abra Magia (Solstice) Feat. Abrao A3 Jamie Paton - Sub Ritual (Edit) A4 Xanga - Coca Leaf Feat. Zebulon B1 Kunturi - Eclosión B2 Future Island - Wide Music II B3 Aiku - Fried Acid B4 Balam - Caravana INFO The a-side kicks off with the musically-gifted Mytron™s genre-defining title ˜Shisha House™, Italian Ayala teams up with Abrao on ˜Magia,™ Jamie Paton slices up the low-slung, serpentine ˜Sub Ritual,™ and Xanga & Zebulon deliver a literal love letter to the ˜Coca Leaf™. B-side action begins with Ecuadorian newcomer Kunturi, whose ˜Eclosión™ portends a new wave of Nicola Cruz inspired, folkloric techno, Italian duo Future Island (Oltrefuturo teamed up with treasure island) rock an impressive slow-mo trance dub on ˜Wide Music II,™ Aiku debut out of Germany™s Harz mountains with ˜Fried Acid,™ while Argentine wizard Balam finishes the journey off with the incense and sitar laden ˜Caravana.™ While they may dabble in orientalist tropes, these are not mere Tulum-chasers out for shamanic DJ duty. This is avant-garde folk-Tronica that tows the limbo line and once again asserts cult supremacy in the great Psychonautical odyssey.
