Review: Acclaimed Italian duo Tale Of Us present the third Realm Of Consciousness compilation on Afterlife Recordings. A collection of spellbinding and melodic epics packed full of narratives plus plenty of dancefloor drama awaits with some rather surprising additions too - artist wise. The German hero Recondite serves up the powerful opening track "Savaaq" with its tension and suspense and those soaring melodies, fellow Italians Mind Against team up with Blausch on the hypnotic bliss of "Trust My Eyes" and Ukranian deep techno experts Woo York give us the steely heads down techno of "Discovery". Elsewhere, southern Italians Agents Of Time appear with the adrenalised and entrancing cyclicality of "Superia", frequent Tale Of Us collaborator Vaal takes you deep into the aether on "Weakness Days" and ascendant German Kevin De Vries gets into freefall on the sublime "Phoenix"
Review: If you've been paying attention to the more polished end of European deep house, you should already be aware of Adriatique. The Swiss duo first made their name back in 2012 with releases on OFF Recordings, Culprit and Diynamic, and have slowly been building their reputation ever since. Here, the vest-sporting duo continues to explore the tactile world of moody contemporary deep house with a trio of typically moody, atmospheric cuts. Think shuffling rhythms, woozy vocals, tech-tinged electronics and long, drawn-out chords. There's a significant low-end pulse propelling lead cut "Rolling Stone", while the two versions of Name One collaboration "Midnight Walking" (available in vocal and Dub forms) impress with their ever-rising intensity and fluid melodies.
