Recompilation EP - Perso Records

• Recompilation is a compilation regrouping four tracks already released on another label during 2008 to 2009.

Track list :

• 1 - Quadriode
• 2 - Ruissellement
• 3 - Ne Rien Faire
• 4 - Aguirre

"Those tracks were first released through 2008 to 2009 on Minimal and Melodies Music label. Since its creation back in 2008 and to my knowledge, this label has never been able to pay its artists while keeping all the incomes for itself.

Last year, a dozen of those artists, including myself, decided to ask the distributor (Believe Digital) to pull out all our material from every webshop they are working with (including Beatport, Juno Download, Etc.).

So those tracks are now available for free on my own label Perso Records. No need to steal them anymore !" - Zzzzra

"Here is an ep from a new artist on the Sublime Porte roster, Zzzzra. With releases on ZeECc, Schall, Biomechanics, Ornithopter, his own Perso Records imprint, and tracks appearing on labels like Echospace or Area 51, he has been putting out a steady flow of quality tracks, and is one of the true innovators of the dub techno scene, constantly pushing boundaries forward in terms of sound and structure. This new ep for Sublime Porte is no exception, as we find him in perfect form, on four tracks of infinite lushness"

All tracks Written and produced and mixed by Alexandre Lehmann
"Ennui Profond" remixed by Optic_

Pneuma, Encore EP - ZeECc

• Pneuma, Encore is the second EP in collaboration with ZeECc dubtechno label.

Track list :

• 1 - Pneuma (Reprise)
• 2 - Pneuma (Filtre Lent)
• 3 - Aurore Pneumatique
• 4 - Pneuma (Axs Red Light Dub)
• 5 - Pneuma (Nautilus Pressure Balance Mix)

"A first 'Reprise' utilizes an obvious minimal way and only retains essential elements: force, simplicity and a perfect control of delays. The second 'Filtre Lent' version reduces the track again to his maximum to let the place to pure harmony between the dub vibes and the electronic treatments. Finally, the 'Aurore Pneumatique' adds some different atmospheres to this release, with a long and mysterious ambient moment.

So, you can find here various styles with these 3 original reinterpretations and with 2 other remixes by AXS, in a broken-beat detroit techno form, or by The Nautilus Project, always with pressure and pleasure."

LoFi Soundsystem VA - Intrusion

• My track De Natura Rerum (using "Mildiou" moniker) has been released early September on Echospace's sublabel Intrusion. It is available as a 12" grey marble vinyl on Interstellarsounds.com, Boomkat.com, Rubadub.co.uk and Smallfish.co.uk. The digital version comes with a 5th track - Intrusion remix of De Natura Rerum - and is available as an exclusive on Beatport.com.

Track list :

• A1 - Intrusion - Velocity In A Minor
• A2 - Lo-Fi Soundsystem - De Lions Den
• B1 - Mildiou - De Natura Rerum
• B2 - Intrusion - OceanView

"Following up the Intrusion & Paul St. Hilaire project comes a new release from the intrusion imprint which offers a killa selection of steppa's riddims and tropical grooves"

"Intrusion's "Velocity In A Minor" is all about being playful with a sequence, splicing a riddim, stimulating the mind while shuffling your feet. This concludes with the mysterious Lo-Fi Soundsystem up next who make their first 12" appearance on Intrusion (Previously recording under a variety of names strictly on 45) their powerful "De Lions Den" has been given a second lease on life from its scarce 45 release, (which was only available at a few small record shops in Jamaica) this island groove is filled with the dankiest skanks, a melodica on acid and a bassline deeper than the ocean. This mystical midnight groove is given a rework in a 4/4 rhythm and effects from deep space, behind the controls is Intrusion front man Stephen Hitchell who leaves us with a tasty embellishment in fat riddims and icey cold electronics."

"The B side opens with Mildiou's "De Natura Rerum" which crosses into territory comparable to Intrusion's "Tswana Dub" or the atmospheric dub side of Rhythm & Sound, a powerful mind melter which does all the rights things in all the right time. The closing "Oceanview" paints a picture of just that, leaving you to wander off into the ocean breeze while sinking into its smoky green vapour haze."
