Pacific Rhythm Canada レコード& CD

Review: C-thru - The Otherworld is a classy collection of introspective, cosmic-leaning dance music from Austin-based producer Jesse Edwards. It finds him paying his own personal homage to the golden era of trance, ambient and downtempo and they come after years of inactivity and mark a fresh new phase for Edwards, who was previously known for his psychedelic project Red Morning Chorus which got some deserving attention from Boards of Canada, no less. Edwards began his musical journey in the late 90s, collaborating with Jessica Bailiff on several albums, including works with Flying Saucer Attack and His Name is Alive, but has never sounded better than this.

Review: Pacific Rhythm kicks off 2024 with Out Of The Unknown, the sophomore LP from ZG, the collaborative project of Zansika Lachhani and Grant (aka Tony from Frank & Tony). Following their acclaimed 2022 debut on Scissor & Thread, this album continues to push boundaries. Across 7 tracks, ZG crafts rich, intricate rhythm patterns with thoughtful, unexpected arrangements. Zansika's voice seamlessly ties everything together, presenting a unique vision of modern deep dance music influenced by the duo's extensive musical journey. Out Of The Unknown navigates dramatic atmospheric downtempo, MPC-style beatmaking, and late 90s deep house, creating a harmonious blend of UK and US-inspired sounds. This album flows effortlessly, providing a beautiful experience. Enjoy the trip - it's a stunning trip through the depths of contemporary dance music.
