Take me back to the moon...

Let's call this future garage? There's a piano, syncopated rhythms, beat-skipping kick drums and spaced out vocal samples.
Lunova Labs (USA) made this release purposefully for the Silenced netlabel. It was inspired by a philosophical movement, called transcendentalism, which developed in the 19th century. Among the transcendentalists' core beliefs was the inherent goodness of both man and nature. Transcendentalists believed that society and its institutions - particularly organized religion and political parties - ultimately corrupted the purity of the individual. They had faith that man is at his best when truly "self-reliant" and independent. Each song is titled off of a piece of work written by some of the leading figures of the movement.
The album breaths spirituality and mystery. I dare you to hit the repeat button. You'll find yourself back on the moon.

I'm so high

This London based producer made me high on melodies. Matthew Wells aka "Great Skies" is only 20 years old and already reinvented the wheel. We've all been there, lost in a landscape of down-tempo beverages. This time however, the ghosts follow us, while we drift through a repetitive environment fueled by spicy beats.
It's as easy and catchy as it is complex and subtle. I'd like it to be played in clubs, on the road and in my living room. Keep an eye on the horizon as we watch out for Great Skies.

shhht_07: The Brussels sprouts return

Eavesdrop [shhht_07]

The Brussels sprouts Eavesdrop caught some nice attention on the web with their shhht03, so they're back with more slices of their tribal infused tech-house. Two sweaty groovers for the spring! Everything free to grab, April fools not this time.

Free music: Holy number Six

Examine [shhht_06]

The Croatia based producer Examine and the Silenced collective have crossed paths more than once. This time he contributed three well-elaborated tracks to cover the holy number six. Examine’s meticulous way of producing makes this EP nice home listening material, but this would definitely work in a more dancefloor oriented environment as well. Sit back while dubby chords and twitching microtextures fill your room and make you say ‘thanks Silenced’ once again.

shhht_05: Free goosebumps!

Damolh33 [shhht_05]

Damohl33 turned out to be one of the finest producers passing us a demo last year. With around ten netreleases under his belt he surely is no stranger to the netaudio cirquit, though. Shhht05 contains two tracks of heart-warming techno, precisely fulfilling your aural needs in these cold days. A word of warning though; Silenced is not responsible for you tapping that replay-button over and over, as both pieces will far exceed your average track life cycle.

It's lightsaber time!

The Menu [shhht_04]

Silenced’ fourth netrelease contains a free re-issue of The Menu’s “Tatooine EP”, a successful release by the foregone Bokal label. With the ability to turn any party into a massive Star Wars dance-off, Silenced just had to ask permission to carry out this one for the free masses. It’s lightsaber time!

Free netlabel release numéro 3

Eavesdrop [shhht_03]

The Brussels-based producer duo Eavesdrop popped up as one of Silenced’ favourite entries of their past demo-contest. No wonder we decided on offering them a release on our newfound netlabel. Eavesdrop passed through three slices of bumpy Balearic tech-house, driven with subtle percussion and occasionally broken up with a melodic twist. A strong three-tracker based upon repetitiveness as well as organic sounds, letting the summer last just a little bit longer.

Second free netlabel release

Andre Lanine [shhht_02]

Silenced' second release granted to fellow Belgian Andre Lanine covers a wide musical spectrum with 'Hades' and 'Harp', delivering driving clicks & cuts, sounding dark and fresh without corrupting total balance.

As an additional slice of musical goodness, Andre's track 'Harp' gets a thorough treatment by Silenced socio Crisp. He brewed us a liquid house interpretation colored with some epic tension builders along the way. Giggity giggity!

The first official free netlabel release

Hermético [shhht_01]

We’re all applauding Silenced’ first official netrelease! After months of hard work the netlabel has finally kicked off with a first product!

After some remarkable releases on the acclaimed Spanish Inoquo netlabel, Hermético provides us with a diverse four-tracker of contemporary minimal techno, often skilfully layered with his trademark perpetual melodies.

Aside the original mixes we encounter two additional reshuffles as well, provided by Dan Droff and Andre Lanine, making this release a copious chunk of quality techno, strongly advised for all your peak-time endeavors.
