===[RELEASE INFO]====================

 

“Global Slowdown” takes the listener all around the world, featuring a mixture of well established artists and emerging talent.

 

Sunsaria (formerly Psyburbia) has released tunes through labels such as Matsuri Productions, Nova Tekk, EMI, Invisible and many more. Drawing upon the sublime vocals of Lulea, the track “Life is a dream” has already been picked up for a tourism advertisement on Australian TV. Collaborations with renowned Aussie dub producer ‘Winduptoys’ take the listener on a cosmic carpet ride of aural delights.

 

Red Eye Express sees Tempest label boss Damiano Verna co opting master guitarist Georgio Giampetri to create the ultimate cross pollination of organic instrumentation and electronics. Along with his other production alias Arcane Trickster, Verna has now released material on a range of labels such as Equinox, Earthcore, YSE and Cosmicleaf.

 

For many electronic music fans Rip Van Hippy, aka Geoff Hayles needs little introduction. His eclectic vision has won fans all over the world and his contribution to ‘Global Slowdown’ will not disappoint…..he samples the tribal rituals of cannibals!

 

Kay Nakayama is the iconic figure behind legendary Japanese act ‘Intelligent Jazz’ and runs the ‘Chillscape’ label. His music is noted for its melody and uniquely Eastern sensibility.

Sideliner from Greece is the creative vehicle for Cosmicleaf label boss Nick Miamis, a master of composition within the electronic genre.

 

Mention must also be made of South Korea’s Potlatch who provide a standout track in “Too many”. New Israeli producer ‘the Nun Project’ typifies the global nature of this release with his collaboration with Japanese singer Hideo Blackmoon. Great work also comes from newcomer Stickleback and Zero Cult, whilst Hesius Dome aka ARIA award winning producer Simon Polinski (Yothu Yindi, The Church), and the Omm Squad help round out this lineup of international groove merchants.
