Shortwave Memories is an album inspired by the post-punk electronic music of the late 70's and early 80's, especially the productions of figures like Martin Hannett and Daniel Miller.\n\n\"The last few Biosphere albums have all been made using samples and software, but Shortwave Memories is a return to vintage analog hardware from the late 70s and early 80s. Most of these instruments do not have any presets or memory storage, so all the sounds were programmed from scratch. The idea was not so much to make music that sounds like it was written in the same period. It's more like what would happen if I had the chance to use the same instruments, and applied the same meticulous attention to detail as the producers mentioned above.\"\n\nPresented as a continuous sonic journey, this stunning record unequivocally manifests a world of it's own and already feels like a timeless addition to the rest of the Biosphere catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biophon Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39923766591547,"sku":"Q1 - 2022,W20 - 2023","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/cover_3904370e-5313-4166-a8cc-dd13bd72db0a.jpg?v=1641410893"},{"product_id":"dkma-boston-boy","title":"DKMA - Boston Boy","description":"\u003cp\u003eDana Kelley, aka DKMA, is a much revered writer, producer, remixer, performer and creative force whose releases have become timeless classics and Holy Grails amongst DJs, music heads and collectors alike. A true artist and innovator, his productions possess the unique ability to engage, transport, challenge and enthral as only next level musicians can.\n\nGrounded in the deep, soulful US House sound of the mid '90's, his earliest releases can be found on Strictly Rhythm, before moving on to produce under his DKMA alias as well as releasing music as Callisto on Guidance. Although Dana sadly passed away in 2013, he left us with a remarkable body of work that has remained both exciting and relevant throughout the last 2 decades and beyond.\n\nBoston Boy Vol.1 is the 1st in a series of compilations that focuses on Dana's visionary work as DKMA, during his most compelling and creative phase between 1997 and 2002. The compilations themselves are collated from an incredible \u0026amp; far reaching archive of over 20 of Dana's original DATs that have been generously shared with us by the Kelley Family. In the archive, some of Dana's most sought after \u0026amp; cherished works were uncovered, restored and meticulously assembled alongside previously unheard archival material.\n\nThe tracks themselves are bold, clever and inventive, characterised by a need for innovation. Passages of deep soulful house underpin more forward thinking electronics without ever losing dance floor appeal. Jazz solos sit effortlessly on top of gritty swinging rhythms, deep infectious b-lines, eerie textures and chord sequences are warm and effortlessly soulful yet with a sound design, sonic range, dynamism and a technical prowess that most could only dream of.\n\nThese compilations celebrate the life, vision and art of one of house music's most hallowed producers. Unique and essential, these collections pull together DKMA's most coveted works. Respectfully sourced, restored and compiled from all audio sources courtesy of the Kelley family and Above Board Projects.\n\nMastered by Curvepusher with special artwork by Atelier Surplus featuring a special unseen image of Dana from his family's photo albums.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guidance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40022911287355,"sku":"Q1 - 2022","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/9403\/5259\/products\/GDRLP615PT1_SLEEVE.jpg?v=1643802717"},{"product_id":"lvca-marlon-estado-salvaje","title":"LVCA \u0026 Marlon - Estado Salvaje","description":"\u003cp\u003eLVCA \u0026amp; Marlon return to Sock It To Me in \"a wild state\", or an Estado Salvaje.
