Silver St., Time Will Heal



Seamlessly drawn together, Time Will Heal is a short record which documents beautiful tracks that drift into one another with surprising ease, drawing out exotic ciphered rhythms and patterns that sound foreign no matter where you are.

Mostly popular for his acclaimed soothing micro-house Relief album as Transistor, mexican producer Edgar Medina locked himself away from those foot-stomping days and started using his laptop like Dustin Huffman did in Rain Man with his typewriter, only Edgar was seeking new horizons, new textures, cutesy giggly ambient sounds.

Silver St.'s characteristic trait is his use of sharp dry naive synthesizers that punctuate the careful melodies in the backdrop of rinsing pads and calculated whirrs in such a manner that crash into one piece, not only entrancing but, oddly hurtful and romantic.

The Oslo Deadtrash Project vs. nim, Drug Tourist Medikit



Thinking that not all pop music has to be shinning happy, systematical, or silly; during a sleepless night, Pierre Lejeune decided to let himself go on the music of his partner Jean-Francois Flamey, better known as NIM, who also directs a very nice label called Carte Postale Records in Belgium.

Pierre Lejeune and Jean Flamey came up nearly by accident with this short record called Drug Tourist Medikit. It's a brief piece including five rainy songs that will you take through a profound mood journey, featuring The Oslo Deadtrash Project's sad vintage pop structures, distorted guitars, beats, hiss and earnest singing, colliding with NIM's obscure melancholic atmospheres and intimate soundscapes.
