.....Orbis Terrarum rework ‘Lost Dreams’, taking things in a more upfront, hook-driven direction, bringing a weighty kick and lingering stab sequence to the forefront, while sporadic percussive hits, expansive reverberated vocals and tension building pads, generate a cold big-room vibe, which much like it’s predecessor seemingly never falters and keeps unfolding, yet in a more refined and understated way this time.

Release date: 27/01/14 Stem Records imprint kicks off 2014 with a two track single, comprising an original track from Agents Of Time, entitled ‘Lost Dreams’, and Orbis Terrarum turning a remix on the flip side. Italian trio Agents Of Time aka Andrea Di Ceglie, Fedele Ladisa and Luigi Tutolo, are fresh names on the scene, making their debut on Stem Records. ‘Lost Dreams’ is the first single from Agents Of Time’s forthcoming L.P set to drop via Stem later in the year, seeing the outfit deliver a sound characterized by a fusion of electronica, techno and ambient soundscapes. A perfect fit for the Stem Records back catalogue, which has seen the spaced out sounds of Legowelt, the hypnotic, vocaldriven electronica of Mooryc and Ted Alexander’s gritty house style featured. The original mix of ‘Lost Dreams’ kicks off the single, seeing the trio play on ethereal ambient soundscapes, bumpy analogue rhythms, whirring, distorted guitar tones and arp-style synth lines. Creating a ghostly, entrancing atmosphere that subtly blooms as the record progresses, while intermittent breaks introduce swirling dub echoes and vocal murmurs, to further fuel the expansive dynamism of the composition. Then on the latter half of the single we see Orbis Terrarum rework ‘Lost Dreams’, taking things in a more upfront, hook-driven direction, bringing a weighty kick and lingering stab sequence to the forefront, while sporadic percussive hits, expansive reverberated vocals and tension building pads, generate a cold big-room vibe, which much like it’s predecessor seemingly never falters and keeps unfolding, yet in a more refined and understated way this time. As always from Stem Records we have more classy, sophisticated electronic music here, kicking off 2014 brilliantly for what’s expected to be another great year for the imprint. Agents Of Time’s ‘Lost Dreams’ EP is out on Monday 27 January 2014.

Manchester’s Stem Records returns this June with Kurt Baggaley’s ‘Line Of Sight’ EP, backed with remixes from Legowelt and Steffen Kirchhoff. Stem Records was launched in late 2012, with ‘Dive’ by Mooryc, picking up support from the likes of Tale Of Us, Francesca Lombardo, Mr.G and Maceo Plex. Here the label pushes forward with its second release, from Brit producer Kurt Baggaley, formerly of electro outfit, Scape One. Baggaley has been producing raw, analogue, electronic works since the 80’s and recently released a single with Italo label, Hotmix run by Simoncino. Dutch producer Legowelt, and German, Steffen Kirchhoff step up on remix duties adding further weight to an already rock-solid package. The EP kicks off with the original version of ‘Line Of Sight’, seeing Baggaley delve deep into analogue explorations with punchy drums, spaced out synthesizers and a stripped back aesthetic. Trippy vocal lines meander around the solid groove while a heady arp line and chord progression drives the melodic movement along keeping things deep and emotive. Legowelt steps in to rework ‘Line Of Sight’ next,stamping his unique mark on the original, opting for acidic bass tones, loosely programmed, raw drums and dubbed out delays instilled in the depths of the background, resulting in a profound depth to the interpretation. As expected from the proficient producer the end product is no nonsense penetrative Techno. Entering the B-Side of the EP, Baggley offers up ‘Touching Your Mind’, tipping the focus towards a more sparse. minimal state with basic drums building the foundations, while smooth, ethereal pads and resonant synth sweeps add a cosseting atmosphere. Closing the release, Stefan Kirchhoff turns in his ‘Perspective’ on ‘Touching Your Mind’, Kirchhoff throws in some off-kilter percussive elements, hooky melodies and growling low-end tones to create an intelligent, understated remix full of delicate intricacies. digital release: 08-07-2013 12" release: 08-07-2013
