Frequencies, Vol. 1 (Various Artists)

Frequency by name, frequency by nature, as our latest VA runs through a kaleidoscope of melodic textures, rhythms and soundscapes, from some of our favourite names to cross the fold.

The adventure begins with the heartfelt, celestial symphony of Auggie’s ‘Love Wait’, before moving into sassier territories bound around the high-octane vocal sample in Yet More and Assayag’s ‘Look At My A**’.

Hard To Tell practises and preaches their own ‘Self Control’ with a hypnotic whirlwind of murky, pulsating atmospherics, before we reach Sahar’s ‘Boiling Point’: an ocean of sonic blips, swimming through the gloppy outerworld of pulsating glitches and twinking strobes.

Smooth and sultry, Tayir’s ‘Nina House’ re-establishes a sense of serenity through its swirling landscape, before Keith Holland travels into a ‘Fardo’ of trance-inspired land with magnetising harmonics and raw, shaking hi-hats.
