Probing the fertile crossroads of occult ritual and electronic music, veteran experimentalist Sound Strider dives deep into the liminal spaces of 21st century electronica in search of new forms. Arcane analog loops prised from dusty synthesizers illuminate supernatural soundscapes sampled from the wild frontier. Rhythmically complex and texturally intricate these sinuous electric emanations stir primal forces. In keeping with the Red Tent ethos live musicians mingle with their digital brethren in this shamans brew of post-rave pastiche. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

It’s been 3 years since the last Sound Strider release so this latest batch of aural delicacies has had ample time to marinate and evolve at live shows around the globe. Philosophically inspired snippets of speech pepper a lush, downtempo, rhythmic space constructed from location recordings, live instruments, and cutting edge digital synthesis. Echoes of hypnotic techno, psychedelic breaks and leftfield hip-hop result in another fine blend of genre-bending sonic experiments. This is the first Sound Strider release on his brand new imprint Red Tent Records, certainly a name to watch in the realm of boundary pushing electronica.

Red Tent Records is proud to present the debut release from label co-founder Ghost in the Chill. This self-titled EP is a cinematic dub experience heavily influenced by Japanese animation and 90’s video games. Playful melodies encounter serious bass in a fantasy landscape rife with lush choral arrangements, soulful strings, and psychedelic glitches. With an impeccable ear for arrangement and harmony, Ghosts’ classical roots really shine, making this release a unique take on modern, avant-garde electronica. Stay tuned for more from this highly motivated Malagasy musician. Mastered by Edward Cybered at Manifold Studio.
