Cosmic Elements’ 23rd release is the long awaited reworks of Tom Conrad & Andy Compton’s ‘Textures EP’ by none other than German legend Van Bellen.

Balearic chill and sunshine vibes are the order of the day on both of these remixes which showcase the beautiful guitar solos of Andy Compton. First up, Van Bellen’s sublime remix of ‘Okinawa’ is a lush chilled vibe which says sunset at Cafe Del Mar all over it, although it could easily work at any time of day where the sun and a beach are involved. Van Bellen then takes a nu disco versus ethereal chill approach to his remix of ‘Phoenix’, which once again screams Cafe Del Mar. Two masterpieces from a musical master right here.

For those that are unfamiliar, Van Bellen is a legendary German producer and remixer who hit the major heights in the late 90’s and early 00’s with support from Sasha, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold and many more, featuring on numerous labels such as Sony, EMI, Bedrock and compilations such as Gatecrasher, Global Underground and numerous others, whilst growing up and working alongside the likes of Nalin & Kane, Blank & Jones, Marc Romboy and more.

Thylacinus returns to Cosmic Elements with his second solo EP which is a smooth jazz and funk inspired three tracker including two west coast hip hop gems, entitled ‘Perceptions EP’.

The opening track ‘Open Your Mind And Realise’ is a warm, soul inspired, thought provoking groove with funk laden beats and leads you into a place that you don’t want to leave; it certainly gets across the message of the EP title. Next up is the hard hitting ‘They Respect Nothing’ which takes you right back to mid 80s L.A with its funk layered infectious late night vibes. Closing the EP is ‘Avenue View’, all puns intended, with a driving bass line and and guitar lick leading up to some smooth soul interludes and completing another fine EP from Thylacinus.

Thylacinus is the alias of Tom Conrad who is currently better known within the realms of house music, however with his early influences of funk, jazz, soul and 80s hip hop it was inevitable he’d take this path at some point. Look out for more singles and an album from Thylacinus over the next few months along with music alongside his friend and top artist Da Funksta (The Old Skool the New Class).

DA FUNKSTA (THE OLD SKOOL THE NEW CLASS)

Cosmic Elements welcomes the first solo release from Thylacinus, a broken beat, nu jazz, instrumental hip hop and soul fusion entitled ‘West Coast Lines EP’ which is an ode to the American West Coast musical sound, as shown in the EP and track titles. And what a release it is, after many months in waiting!

The EP opener is ‘Tequila Sunrise’; a soul and jazz fusion track made for any occasion, with a fantastic rhodes piano leading throughout over lush chords, French influenced guitar work and a funky live bass line. Next up is ‘London To L.A’, which continues in the same vein with its soul/jazz fusion feel; warm inviting rhodes, infectious bass line and a soft guitar which combined captures the feel of two major cities, an ocean apart. Last but not least is ‘The Sonoran’ which fuses funk and heavy string work giving it a dramatic big room sound, leaving you wanting more and completing a very strong first solo EP for Thylacinus.

JOAN RIBAS (VARIOUS, IBIZA / DUTCHIE MUSIC)

Cosmic Elements’ 15th release is a big one, a summery balearic lounge/chill EP from Tom Conrad alongside the brilliant Andy Compton (The Rurals) with ‘Textures EP’.

First up is the lush fusion of summery sounds that make up ‘Okinawa’, an ode the beauty of Okinawa prefecture Japan. Andy Compton (The Rurals) is on lead guitar here as he is on the next track ‘Phoenix’, a broken beat, balearic soulful jam with jazzy guitar and a smooth funky bassline. For the closing track, Tom decided to make a track that would fit with observing stars in the night sky and believe it or not, it’s called ‘Stargazer’. Soft arpeggiated rhythms, smooth pads, uplifting keys and ethereal but subtle bell sounds (to represent glowing) are the order of the day, so you tell us – is it a star gazing record?
