  • Ghosts Of Paraguay

    Ghosts Of Paraguay

    British electronic act – Ghosts Of Paraguay is a shining light on the U.K electronic scene, having notched up a considerable back catalog of emotive and forward thinking music.

    His sound is very unique and mature yet he seems to add a unique flavor of soulful harmonies that can only be described as amazing. The use of extremely talented vocalists on the majority of his releases is quite astounding and it seems, working on this aspect of his music is why Ghosts Of Paraguay really seems to excel ahead of all others.

    His debut release on Solace brings all of the aforementioned aspects plus some amazing new soundscapes, vocal hooks and exceptional songwriting skills all in the form of a 4 track E.P titled – ‘Into The Light’.

    Ghosts Of Paraguay Feat. Jett – Bitter End

    The first track featured on the E.P is the blissed out ‘Bitter End‘ and features the exceptional vocal talents of US based vocalist – Jett. Having worked together on previous tracks in the past, ‘Bitter End’ is full of lush melodies, complex drum rhythms and warm sub bass. This track is similar to a book and tells a story in a way where you can feel the emotion in Jett’s voice coming right thru the speakers. A very thought provoking piece of music!

     Ghosts Of Paraguay Feat. LaMeduza – Mirrors

    To round off the E.P, ‘LaMeduza’ from Switzerland features vocals on the last track. Sublime vocals build the anticipation right from the intro, careful layering and effects make these vocals sit perfect in the mix. Warm mid range and sub bass takes care of the low-end while a loose 2-step groove is accented by amazing piano chords and wonderful strings. As with the rest of the E.P this track has it’s own story to tell and rounds of a superbly produced E.P.

    FullCasual & Brais Larkin Feat. Kooka – Feel

    An emotive melody starts the original track, as the 2-step rhythm and percussion reverbs build the emotion and give the track life. Soon the signature sound of ‘Kooka’s’ vocals break in and lift the track to another level. Syncopated bass and sweeping effects round the track off perfectly. A track sure to get the ladies moving whatever the motion might be.

    FullCasual & Brais Larkin Feat. Kooka – Feel (Congi Remix)

    ‘Congi’ steps up for this massive remix on the B-side. Clean, crisp beats and a dance floor friendly arrangement make this a definitive DJ pick already.

  • Nickbee

    Nickbee

    Nickbee is one of Ukraine’s brightest young stars, with releasing on some of the scenes biggest bass music labels including Invisible, Dispatch & Horizons to name a few. Not sticking to one
    genre or sound Nickbee is known for his amazing production ethos, versatility and his enormous collaborations with the likes of local Ukraine producer, Sunchase. The dedication to his craft is really paying off, with his first single on Solace due out very soon, the single features the vocal
    talents of Zelda Marshall and along- side collaboration partner Malk.

    Nickebee & Malk Feat. Zelda Marshall – Stars

    The first track on the single ‘Stars’ builds it’s way up from subtle pads and clicky atmospheres into a very loose and catchy beat. Delay’s and reverbs drive the beat forward as the dreamy vocals of ‘Zelda Marshall’ drift over the music. Piano harmony’s and warm sub bass fill out the bottom end. Sweeping atmospheres and percussion bursts the track over the 2nd drop into the full vocal riff. A sublime piece of music perfect for anytime day or night.

    Nickbee Feat. Zelda Marshall – Breaking Her

    ‘Breaking Her’ is the more heavy offering of the two tracks with a 2-step inspired beat accompanied by lush delay’s and dreamy vocals. Again the vo- cal talents of ‘Zelda Marshall’ really hit home on this one, using the vocals sparingly gives the track space and room to breath. Lush piano riffs and eerie atmospheres glide between the beats while fx’s and reverbs used sparingly make sure your ears are glued to the speakers. This is our personal favorite and really shows how versatile this young producer is.

  • Integration Now

    Integration Now

    The 2nd installment in the digital only series for ‘Solace Records’, shows Brazilian’s new up and coming bass music producer – ‘Integration Now’. Also, one half of ‘The Hybridz’ collab project with label partner ‘Stole’. ‘Integration Now’ brings us his first solo offering for the label in the form of a 4 track digital only E.P.

    Integration Now – Oblique E.P

    The first track from the E.P – ‘Logic Of The Dark’, is just that. A dark endless journey thru lush meldoies, emotive pads and deep brooding bass. All strewn together over a loose 2-step rythym with layers of percussion and subtle reverbs.

    Crunchy atmospheres and vinyl clicks build thru the intro as Indian riffs sweep in and out of the arrangement. Unorthodox beats and a percussion combo give the track a very middle eastern feel. Warm analog sub bass hums away underneath while the airy pads and delays give the track a great sense of space.

    ‘E2’ is the third offering on the E.P. This track is filled with loosely synced harmony’s that follow the sweeping 2-step beats and fills. Eerie atmospheres glide over the syncopated bass as the FX’s round off the crisp clean palette of sounds.

    The final track is a very thought provoking piece of music. Something that reminisces of ‘Burials’ early works. Showing us how versatile he is ‘Integration Now’ gives us a big warped dub workout. Complete with complex beats and thunderous bottom end all layered together with his signature bleak harmonies. This track will keep you guessing right until the end.
