SLEEPY LANDSCAPES
• tube'|186 - Slept. - Slept. EP
«Polish artist Slept. sent us this beautiful self-titled EP of mellow ambient tunes. We couldn't resist its fragile and melancholic beauty and had to put it out no mather what.
'Slept. EP'
was inspired by the cover photo - taken by a friend of the artist - and contains the first tracks made as Slept.. No samples were used. It's all original sounds.
There's not much more to be said, really. All tracks are great and it's an awesome little release. I hope you enjoy this beautiful work as much as I did.» - Pedro Leitão

IDM 101
• tube'|185 - The Sales Department - A Practical Guide
«Canadian MD Matheson returns with his The Sales Department outfit to deliver another excellent IDM release. 'A Practical Guide', like its predecessor [Sub]ways, invests in deep, echoing beats, more mellow pads and an overall sense of old-school electronica.
The wait didn't took too long after all, and this new EP arrives to complement the previous one, as the artist promises it will all make sense in the end. And in the end what you will get is a full featured album, even if splitted in several parts.
Melody plays an important part in The Sales Department's music. Personally, this is what true IDM should really be, sound like and make you feel: a romantic, nostalgic someone, adrift in
a distant de-humanized future. Doesn't make sense? Pick up a good set of headphones, put them on and try 'Cloaks' for yourself.» - Pedro Leitão

RUINS AND HARDCORE
• tube'|184 - Irish - Frustrations
«Remember Irie Yoshihisa from tube008 and tube038? It has been a while since we've heard from him. Well, here he is, alive and kicking! Irish has got a new direction to follow, dwelving into some sort of breakcore territory. There's still the deep melodic tone (like in 'Throw away your television') but now the beats are stronger and sharper than ever. 'Frustration comes again' and 'Sybarite' even bring some dubstep-like bass
and flat hi-hats that sound like a million euros (or yens)!
All the production is sharp and well balanced throughout, proving us that Irish has become a convincingly
good musician/producer.
Just don't let yourself be intimidated with the bellicist harshness 'Weapons of Mass Self-Destruction' and go in for the whole EP. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.»
