“Breathtaking sparkles, glimmering fractions. What melodical madness causes such satisfaction?”
Times flies I tell ya! Already time for part three of our monthly “Glimering Fractions” mix. March’s birthstone is Bloodstone (see our Soundcloud page for a little more info). Tried to fill almost an hour again with nothing but audible niceness. If you’re feeling this, please be so kind to share it. It’s available for download on our Soundcloud page or you can stream it via Mixcloud as well.

Monkey_sequence.19 from Sendai Japan is one of those producers we don’t hear that much about here in Europe unless you hang out at the record shop all day long. Hopefully this is going to change with his latest 12″ single “Pretend” featuring Mar on the vocals. The original version is kinda on the smooth tip, but wait till you get to the two remixes on here! First we have Kan Sano coming with a beautiful feel good remix that sounds magical at times. As if that wasn’t enough we also have Julien Dyne droppin’ a heavy synth-filled remix that will knock your socks right off. You might have heard me play this in last January’s “Glimmering Fractions” mix, but it’s out officially via Wonderful Noise. Be on the look out for that at your local record shop or go ahead and order it at Rush Hour!

There are a couple of insane remixes out of Julien Dyne‘s “Who Are You” featuring Ladi6 and Parks. Totally missed out on the Dizz1 remix, which I will put in the upcoming “Glimmering Fractions” mix for sure. Also on the low, we got this fat ass Sauce81 remix straight from the Wonderful Noise family in Japan. If you’d to purchase that one, just head on over to  …nah mean?!

Here we have a taste of Kan Sano‘s upcoming “Bha” EP, which will be released April 4th on Spirit Notes. Probably a digital only release, so keep that in mind. Love the intricate play on Japan’s top notch pianists’ new song “Vayu”, but I guess there’s not a lot to hate about this one.

Elaquent is taking the road less travelled with his upcoming “The Scenic Route” album. Fourteen instrumental tracks for you listening pleasure is the result. We decided to give you guys a little sneak peak in the form of “Carpe Diem”. Lots more interesting sounds on this one, so keep an ear out! Coincidentally this is being released on my birthday (March 28th). All you need now is my address so you can all send me a nice present

The one they call ARP101 is no mystery to us and most likely not to you guys either. In the past we’ve posted about this dope London-based producer and it is with great pleasure, we can tell you Eglo Records is giving away “Mystery Man” as a free download on their Bancamp page in celebration of Eglo’s 3 year anniversary party at Fabric next week.

Shout out to Soulection for putting out some newness once again. This time it’s Grand Rapids resident Sango who releases his “Trust Me” EP. Now I gotta say straight from the bat that this release is not entirely our thing. However though, we were pleasantly suprised with Sango’s “Lovely” which we featured on our 2nd “Gimmering Fractions” mix as well.
