Italian duo Agents Of Time have been incredibly busy over the past few years, from releasing a string of classic singles – including their recent single for Afterlife, “The Mirage”, which earned more than five million views on Instagram – to remixing The Weeknd’s “Take My Breath”, which appeared on his recent Dawn FM (Alternative World). But the biggest news is here now – their second album, Universo, is ready. Elevating their trademark melodic techno with an exquisite pop-ness, Universo has found its ideal home with Kompakt, following their Music Made Paradise 2020 debut EP for the label. It’s a meeting of minds that makes perfect sense.

Andrea Di Ceglie and Luigi Tutolo, the two members of Agents Of Time, used their time during the pandemic to work on Universo, an album loosely conceptualised around their ‘personal universo’, a manifestation of the world Di Ceglie and Tutolo built both within and around their studio. This accounts for the sparkle and brightness of Universo – it’s full of personality, vim and vigour, the duo experimenting with their music, exploring its furthest corners. If you come to Universo expecting just another album of melodic techno, get ready to be pleasantly surprised – there’s a whole lot more going on here, and it’s all equally compelling.

After a typically poetic opening gesture – the swirling, synaesthetic, self-titled intro track – expectations are immediately blindsided with the two-step pop of “Fallin’”, sung with gentle clarity by guest Audrey Janssens, a dream of a song that harks back to the glory days of early ‘00s UK garage. “Interstellar Cowboy” is a confident, lithe, disco-fied strut; the gentle minor-key piano of “Liquid Fantasy” spirals into a gorgeously melancholy techno-pop epic, Vicky Who?’s voice rich with yearning. Janssens also reappears on the electro-swirl of “Poison”; “Dream Vision” revisits their single “The Mirage”, soft with sweeping strings, loaded with drama; “Part Of Life” sashays into view with a schaffel-stomp.

This rich variety throws the more dancefloor-focused tracks, like “Ciao”, into even starker relief – they’re more decisive, streamlined, yet rich with detail, chugging, Moroder-esque bass meeting strobe-lit synths that fire melodies out into the firmament. Universo feels texturally dense, but it still breathes, its sounds so tactile you want to reach out and grab them, its tunes so seductive you can’t get them out of your head. Universo is a fiercely beautiful album, brave in its spirit, a perfectly poised meeting-point of pop melody and stylish, lush techno: Agents Of Time in excelsis.

US-Komponist, Produzent und Multiinstrumentalist Eric Phillips aka Kennebec schöpft aus einem eklektischen Spektrum an Einflüssen, um einen einzigartigen Stil cineastischer elektronischer Musik zu kreieren. Sein zweites Album 'Without Star or Compass' enthält Kollabos mit Samuel T. Herring (Future Islands) und dessen Rap-Moniker Hemlock Ernst, US-Sänger Sudan Archives, der bahrainisch-britischen Jazzmusikerin Yazz Ahmed und Lofi-Hip-Hop-Künstler Kalaido.

Top-Album des Weltklasse-Lieferanten von Deep/Soulful-House/Garage, Ron Trent. Mit illustren Gästen wie Ivan Conti & Alex Malheiros (beide Azymuth), Jean Luc Ponty, Gigi Masin sowie einer Exklusivkollabo mit der texanischen Hype-Band Khruangbin. Mastering und CD-Mixset übernahm niemand geringeres als NYC-Ikone François K. WDTSSTY erinnert an luxuriöse 1970/80er Alben, ist ein Liebesbrief an den Longplayer, in dem Musikalität und Flow seltsame Genrepaare harmonisch miteinander verschmelzen lassen, wo jeder Song eine eigene Hifi-Odyssee ist. Trents tief verwurzeltes Wissen zahlt sich aus wenn die Palette seiner Einflüße von Jazz-Funk, Quiet Storm, Sophisti-Pop, New Age, New Wave, Cosmic, Balearic, Samba, Afrobeat bis Latin-, Soft- und Yacht-Rock reicht.

Rico Friebe (sonstig umtriebig als Rico Puestel) betritt die Bühne, die Last seines vergleichlosen Debüt-Albums "Jenni" tragend. Auf gänzlich unabsehbaren Geschehnissen persönlicher Natur basierend, entstand das Album in einer sehr kurzen, dennoch hochgradig intensiven Zeit tiefgehender Herausforderungen, Sorgen und Depressionen und fungierte daraufhin zugleich als Methode der Aufarbeitung und Therapie im Status der Ungewissheit. Die Fusion elektronischer und organischer Ursprünge, die einer Vereinung feinfühliger Produktion und klassischen Songwritings zugewandt ist, eröffnet die Erzählungen zu einer einschneidenden Geschichte mit dem Sprachrohr breitgefächerter, stilistischer Strömungen aus den Sphären von Ambient, Trip Hop und darüber hinaus. Ein Album voller Wertschätzung und Anerkennung mit einer zutiefst persönlichen Botschaft. Ein Salut, eine Widmung und Mahnung zugleich.
