Cat.No : SLM022
Slime returns to the fray with another super fresh debut courtesy of the incredibly talented Powder Hill. Extrapolating ambient sounds across a variety of styles, he provides a listening experience at once cinematic and intimate, widescreen but wholly personal. Perfect for those moments in that strange hinterland between club and comedown, let Powder Hill light up your world.
'Aenda' rolls in like the vast haze of sunrise across a shimmering lake, glittering melodies submerged in a melancholy polyrhythm. A female vocal swirls slowly in the morass as heavenly chords spiral up your spine and hit your synapses with lazer-guided precision.
'Wisp' is the sound of a relaxation chamber being dropped into the pacific ocean. Sublime vibes abound with a horizontal breakbeat pattern flirting inbetween sunset keys and twilight melodies.
'Are You There' switches things up several gears with a liquid D&B throwdown but loses nothing of the ambient textures of the previous offerings. Dissected vocals intertwine the intricate beat with a sense of beautiful purpose.

"This new Powder Hill release is So fucking advanced it’s already got a hoverboard, it’s car doesn’t need roads and you can get mechanically extending baseball bats with which to batter Parkinsons sufferers. One point twenty one gigawatts of goodness."
