quête:the k s

Xistence Records is destroying the boundaries between house and techno. The Rise E.P. simply goes to show you a good label does not lose it's competency after 4 years of releasing music. This 4 tracker sounds sublime! If you like deep emotional melodic music, you should have this 12”.
Difficult to pick a standout track as they all offer something different…

The original version of Resilience is a stunning track, reminds of the early Octave One sound with a great mixture of percussion, classy bassline, nice layering of textures and melodies.

While Gerald Mitchell (Underground Resistance/Los Hermanos) retouch is a soulful stripped back tune with elegant drum work, linked together by a uplifting synth pattern.

Sunset To Sunrise, a delightful piece of haunting electronica. It’s a real journey back to the birth of Los Hermanos. Class!

Meteoric Rise original version came out as digital earlier on the label, Journey Around The Sun Mix here has the UR sound. It’s more complex, Detroit lesson in syncopation and rhythmic programming with chord stabs and shuffling drum work drives this one forward..epic!

“Without Hope None Of Us Have Anything “

Respect The Craft returns with its sixth release, featuring Chicago House mainstay DJ Sneak and a rework from Tripmastaz. The record unites facets of Sneak’s style, shifting between raw house and acid experimentation yet remaining grounded in a direct, club-focused approach.

“Future” sets a tougher tone than typical for Sneak, anchored by driving drums, sharp 303 lines, and tribal-leaning percussion that fuel the track's momentum. On “No Reasons”, energy eases into a deeper house swing, with soulful vocal snippets atop a slower groove and acid accents adding subtle tension.
On the flip, “La Clave Boricua” stands out with looping Puerto Rican vocals, dense percussion and a rolling structure proven effective in larger rooms throughout Tripmastaz’s sets over the past 3 years. Tripmastaz’s “Spectral Pressure Dub” distils the original track, emphasising its funky bass and vocals, using subtle pads to expand the space over time.

With Future EP, Respect The Craft expands its catalogue with a release that strikes a balance between character and utility, bringing together established voices in a format that remains focused, effective, and built for the club.

Any Young Mechanic positioniert sich als einer der vielversprechendsten Newcomer im Bereich Modern Alternative Rock und kombiniert hymnische Hooks mit einer druckvollen Produktion, die sowohl im Radio als auch in der Independent-Szene überzeugt.
Ihr Sound zeichnet sich durch ein vielschichtiges Storytelling und eine außergewöhnliche Instrumentierung aus, die traditionelle Folk-Elemente mit zeitgenössischer Indie-Dynamik verwebt. Nach viralen Erfolgen ihrer ersten Singles und internationaler Aufmerksamkeit durch Auftritte auf renommierten Festivals wie dem Reeperbahn Festival, dem INmusic oder Rock for People, steht nun ihr mit Spannung erwartetes Debütalbum an.

Nach fast 30 Jahren kehren die Legenden von Sublime am 12. Juni mit ihrem neuen Album „Until the Sun Explodes“ zurück, erstmals mit Jakob Nowell als Frontmann. Das bei Atlantic Records erscheinende Werk kombiniert den klassischen Sound der Band mit neuen Einflüssen und featured namhafte Gäste wie H.R. von den Bad Brains oder Fletcher Dragge von Pennywise. Die gleichnamige Lead-Single ist eine bewegende Hommage Jakobs an seinen verstorbenen Vater Bradley Nowell.

Das siebte Studioalbum der Hip-Hop-Pioniere De La Soul. Ursprünglich 2004 erschienen, wartet das
Album mit hochkarätigen Gastauftritten von Künstlern wie Ghostface Killah, Sean Paul, Flava Flav und

Date“ auf Skits und Interludes und gilt als durchweg hochwertiges Album ohne Füllmaterial. Es enthält
außerdem vier instrumentale Bonustracks

As humankind strives to create artificial intelligence what will faith, love, or morality look like to a nascent consciousness?
Will it be capable of understanding its creators who often hold logic and superstition within themselves?
In return how will humans comprehend its hallucinations?
And the Sun, a ball of hot plasma oblivious to our existence continually burns hydrogen until it runs out and swallows its three closest neighbours.

This retail variant contains 2 LPs pressed on dreamy Watercolor vinyl and includes a trifold die-cut sleeve and 16-page booklet
