Dark is the forest and deep, and overhead Hang stars like seeds
of light In vain, though not since they were sown was bred Anything
more bright.
Edition Akasha launches with ‘Forest Beams’ by Eira Haul,
proudly presenting a sonic crosscut of the Berlin artist’s captivating
take on UK textures and tempos, fused by a visceral feel for bright
melodic touches.
As the rude bass stepper ‘Forest Beams’
rubs shoulders with the jovial, off-kilter techno of ‘Oak’, and the
trance trip ‘Cosmic Body’ takes flight towards the introspective
halftimer ‘Kilim’, euphoria and melancholy waltz in harmony atop
soaring beats throughout this nod to Akasha Festival’s Forest floor.
At midpoint, Tornado Wallace compliments the tour de force that is
EDAK001 with his ‘Lights Off Mix’ of ‘Oak’ – a cheeky balearic
breakbeat rendition bringing summer firmly into focus.
