Press Info:
Ross Harper’s FEEL EP was inspired by his time at club Kultura Zvuka in Kharkiv, Ukraine while on tour with Nastia and Daria Kosolova.

Ross found himself on the dancefloor next to a local girl. He felt a nudging sensation against his foot. But when he looked down, there was nothing to see. So he kept dancing but then there it was again, a feeling of someone gently pushing against the side of his foot.

Again, he looked down and nothing was there, but the same girl was still standing next to him. So he took a breath and said “hello”. She said she speaks only Russian and very little English. Ross then noticed a tattoo of something written in Russian on her wrist and asked her what it meant, she replied, “FEEL”. “Ah, yes”, Ross thought, that makes perfect sense, “FEEL”.

Starting with deep intensity, a stranger, in a strange place, yet surrounded by love, surrounded by soul, surrounded by feeling. “FEEL I” presents deeply touching bass and finally a beat, a broken beat.

As the music unfolds, the intensity within grows. In “FEEL II”, the broken beat transforms to a low throbbing kick and bass. And all along there is the sense of lingering darkness, like a mystery speaking from the deep.

By the time we reach “FEEL III”, the kick is being felt and new peaks of emotion and definition are emerging.

“FEEL IV” takes this sound palette a step further into something altogether sublime with climatic voices, iridescent stabs and majestic strings, a whole symphony of sound un- folds. The perfection of “FEEL IV” is cemented by an off key bass drag that simply does not fit.

Finally “FEEL V” is when the “release valve” comes unstuck, the tempo is up, the machine gun kicks unleashed, and the whole thing goes totally cosmic.

Press Info:
Al Gharib is proud to announce its first release, ‘Le Beirut’, an art fund supporting selected organisations advancing support towards individuals and minority groups in Lebanon, including those impacted by the horrifying explosion in Beirut during the month of August.

The compilation will feature 32 tracks produced by friends/talented artists from all around the world, showcasing a diverse selection of electronic music, expressing a unified act of solidarity with the people of Beirut.

Al Gharib will be donating all profits from the ‘LE BEIRUT’ Art Fund to the following organisations:

– Proud Lebanon
http://www.proudlebanon.org
Proud Lebanon is a non-profit, non-religious, non-political, non-partisan civil society organization that aims to promote sustainable social & economic development in Lebanon and the region and is working to achieve protection, empowerment and equality of marginalized groups through community service activities.

Proud Lebanon is dedicated to building a healthy empowered community in Lebanon and the region, where people are effectively empowered and participate in democratic processes that affect their lives and their communities.

– Anera Organisation
http://www.anera.org
Anera, which has no political or religious affiliation, works on the ground with partners in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), Lebanon and Jordan. We mobilize resources for immediate emergency relief and for sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. Our staff serve in their communities, navigating the politics that constrict progress to get help where it’s needed most.

That’s how Anera delivered more than $100.4 million in programs in 2020 alone, and it’s how we will keep building better lives until hope finds its way in the Middle East.

– Embrace Lebanon
http://www.embracelebanon.org
Embrace is a non-profit organization (NGO) which works to raise awareness around mental health in Lebanon. Embrace launched as an affiliation with the Department of Psychiatry at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) back in 2013. As of 2017, Embrace branched out as an independent Lebanese non-governmental organisation (NGO), not affiliated with any institution. Embrace seeks to better inform the community about mental illness, break the stigma, provide support to those affected, and help foster a resilient and emotionally healthy community which cares for the mental wellbeing of its young and old.

Press Info:
Token celebrates its 100th release with Luke Slater, a legend of the genre, releasing under one of his most iconic aliases: Planetary Assault Systems. For over 25 years, Slater has delivered unparalleled quality in his music – a formative figure in Techno and instrumental in defining the sound globally, few can touch the Brit for depth, urgency and hit rate.

Exhibiting near enough perfect renditions of classic dance-floor moods, the four track EP is a wrought iron rollercoaster through some of the artist’s most exacting work. Booming opener Bang Wap chugs unrelentingly while a lithe FX line does the bulk of the movement in the high mid range – building tension before a satisfying release in the last quarter. A2 Bolt is classic Planetary Assault Systems – hypnotic and driving with a single sequence dipping in and out of view. On the flip, Say It Loud could be an idiosyncratic hit waiting to happen – dry and tight in the drum department for maximum effect, and featuring a recurring vocal sample chopped and skewed for tension. Closer Shine takes a deeper, more psychedelic route with shades of the classic, jacking Detroit sound in the pitch bent lead line, but maintains the energy throughout with stylish delay sends upping the ante where required, all in all delivering a neat finish to the EP.
