AR025-BEYOND - INFRADISCO - AQUA CHETA: BEYOND THE REMIXES (DIGITAL ONLY):

This release is digital only: 4 new Beyond The Remixes by Hear & Now, Manu Archeo, Mushrooms Project and Ocean Moon.

Archeo Recordings serve a special digital delight for the summer slowdown with four extended and alternate reworks from the all star cast behind the recent Aqua Cheta remix 12”. Dipping into the cool waters of Infradisco’s original LP once again, Hear & Now, Manu Archeo, Mushrooms Project and Ocean Moon look to the horizon and channel the horizontal with a collection of ambient suites, new age dreamscapes and day trippers, each awash with positive vibrations and healing frequencies.

Perugia's peerless Hear & Now open the EP, cultivating pulsing chords, hazy reverb and elegiac fretwork for a White Isle romance steeped in the sunset lineage of the Café Del Mar. Heart-swelling piano and restrained bass throbs conspire to see the rest of the world melt away, with occasional percussion the only reminder that time is still passing. Though radically different from their dance-floor driven revision on the 12", this is no less impactful, swapping the club sonics for the sensation of sheer beauty.

Not content with making a spectacular production debut via his dubbed out diversion of "Dulcis" last time out, Manu Archeo makes further waves with a meditative masterpiece - spaced out and sprawling through a sultry thirteen minutes. An echo drenched meditation script gradually sinks into the immersive ripple of balmy horn, delicate hand percussion and watery pads, making room for a succession of stunning lead-lines and glistening sequences. If you thought the new age of New Age was over, it's time to open your mind.

Arguably the most intrepid psychonauts out there, Mushrooms Project push way "Beyond The Fluminea" with their "Brain Twister Remix", a heady brew of lysergic gurgles and hallucinogenic sound design set to a gentle reggae lilt. The guttural bass growl of their first version remains intact, but stripped of the insistent sequence which drove its predecessor, it offers a heroic dose of psilocybic sonics.

Finally, Ocean Moon slips the mooring to move "Beyond The Marina" heading out into an open sea of undulating pads, trilling synth riffs and gentle electronic percussion. Steering into the sublime, he follows a synthetic siren song to a place where reality begins to fragment into fractals, providing the perfect vessel for audio enlightenment.
