You're env(itre)d!

Fantastic German net label Tonatom, one of the very first in the "business", is offering two new releases for your free download pleasure. First up is env(itre) with tattwa. Tattwas derive from Indian astrology and are said to be measures of the quality of time. Don't worry about that, though, 'cos you're time is definitely well spent with this short but mesmerising EP. Beats are dry and cut up in various ways, there's a lot of weird samples in there (like the creaking of an old door as a part of the rhythm) and quite a few tantalising melodies. Now we're really curious as to what to expect on Miro Majewskis (env(itre)'s real name) next full-lenght.

The second new one is called "November 30th" and has been composed by Photophob, the artist name for Austrian musician Herwig Holzmann. Pieces are still rhythmical, even though their pulse has been slowed down and they seem to stand still while running silently. Even though these tracks make for an excellent back ground music, they are never merely wall paper. Instead, while listening to them, you will slowly be sucked into a seemingly gentle world full of trap doors and hidden meanings. Highly recommended!
