Test Tube #110: Shelter - Sleepyhead falls off the edge of the world

Comment from Test Tube-Site:

«'Sleepyhead falls off the edge of the world' is a hip-hop mini-epic for all the broken hearts out there. Love stories gone wrong... not you're typical theme for an hip-hop release, I guess... but Shelter makes it work really really well. 'Sleepyhead...' is a small gem of an EP, in fact, it's a reissue of the original which came out on Shelter's old weblog more or less an year ago. I kind of bumped into it by accident and almost immediately 'Sleepyhead...' became a regular on my winamp playlist since then. Musically, think of BoC-style nostalgia keyboards and electronics and Marshall Mather's style vocals and flow, but Swedish pop way - Shelter is from Sweden, and you're there. Excellent production, very good lyrics and an awesome sense of narrative throughout. This is the most perfect 20 minutes of hip-hop I've listened in a long time.
This release is also a good excuse to show off our new standard design for the cover artwork. Hope you dig it! Furthermore, keep your eyes peeled for a new EP to be released very soon on Shelter's own website.» - Pedro Leitão

Comment from Stratosphera:
Ok, this is special for Stratosphera. Hip-Hop isn't usual for this blog, as all you watchers know. But what made Stratosphera review this album is it's poetic side, as Pedro wrote before, this is a album about love an d getting emotionally hurted by people. It's just beautiful so sit back, relax and open your mind.

Intro / We like falling (feat. Balance) / Into the fog / Rhythm of the night (feat. Balance) / Keys open doors? (interlude) / What's underneath / My knee's weak / Sunny eyes (interlude) / The Swamp /Outro

Kikapu #108: William Fields - The Ruby-leif

Comment from Kikapu (Archive.org):
We have here an amazing new mp3 release from William Fields, titled 'The Ruby-Leif.' It's a 5-track EP of incredibly melodic, beautiful electronics. It harkens back to many of our older releases from past years, and is a welcome addition to our catalogue.

Comment from Stratosphera:
First listening to this album I was quite astound. Clearly melodic, clearly experimentel, clearly veautiful but also abstract - I never thought a mix-up like this would work, but William made it work. A first-class audio experience!

Mixotic #120: Frosty - Netlabel Mixtape Vol.4

Comment from Mixotic-Site:
Frosty adds another sequel to his popular "Netlabel Mixtape" series. His journey leads him from well known net-places to hidden, secret caves. Mysterious channels are interrupted by bright light spots, they are going up and then deep down again. What's down there? A shining gold mine or just a cold, deep sheer?

Frosty
Frosty was was born in 1978 and grew up in a town called Siegen. At the age of 13 he discovered the radio show "RPR-Maximal" and he was fascinated by that electronic sound. One year later he began DJing at private parties an made his own tapes. But with the beginning of his job education in 1994 Frosty lost many of his old contacts and got new influences. Electronic music became secondary.
In 2006 while he was surfing the internet and found a netlabel by chance. Wondering how it could be to get legal mp3 tracks for free he downloaded his first electronic music after years. One year and many gigabytes later Frosty started mixing his own tapes again.
