    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    San Francisco native Melissa (Doc Sleep) met Ninja Tune affiliate Konstantin (@glenn-astro) after she moved to Berlin and teamed up with Konstantin for a Hypno Discs release on her label, Jacktone. Following this, the two collaborated for a set of three Motoko & Myers remixes on Future Times. The pair continued to work together, and Beats Unlimited is the result of a couple of years of connective alliance during the period of global isolation.
    The mini-album is an organic dub-infused modern reinterpretation of circa-2000 electro-acoustic minimal techno and microhouse. Empty space plays just as much crucial importance in the mix as the intricate percussive pieces and crystalline melodic elements. The circuit-bent rhythmic manipulations and textural imperfections add additional warmth and a 3D sense of depth. There is a clear singular sound with this release, and the moments of warped introspective late-night narcosis sit comfortably alongside the raw glass-techno slammers packed to the brim of slow-release dancefloor energy.
    Think along the lines of Aoki Takamasa, Akufen, To Rococo Rot, and Matmos & Matthew Herbert's work on Vespertine, etc., captured through the lens of Kassem Mosse and Shackleton, re-programmed on an MPC, and then run through guitar pedals. We really fucking like it and think you will too!
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    "A deep and sumptuous trip" - Bandcloud
    "Combining Astro's love of textures with Doc Sleep's punchy club manoeuvres, it features jerky drums cutting through layers of static while floaty synths rise and fall in the background." - RA review of 'Chrome Loops' ra.co/reviews/34130
    "The joint effort on Beats Unlimited produces a collection of entirely provoking and innovative pieces of loopy techno and dubbed out propulsive IDM. The sonic aesthetics of the album fuse influences from microhouse and minimal techno motifs, synthesized into texturally rich and times out right weird interpretations of club music." The Playground

  • Nim [from the "Your Ruling Planet" on Jacktone]
    Doc Sleep's latest EP, "Your Ruling Planet,” debuts on her own label, Jacktone.
    The EP is her 3rd overall and 1st on her home label. Working through moods and atmosphere across several genres, the EP is also her most introspective.
    Thematically, the tracks act as both soundtrack and narrative signposts through a maze of hazy memories, self-created mythologies and realities. Instruments and samples were chosen intentionally to support the larger themes, each carrying a weight of familiarity and meaning. Rather than working to execute functional peak time tools, the goal was to create a universe of personal meaning and significance.
    The artwork is by the Sonja of Labareda, mastering by Joao Melo/Mind Safari.

  • Plover - Motoko & Myers (Doc Sleep & Glenn Astro Rhythm)
    From FT Bandcamp:
    https://futuretimes.bandcamp.com/album/big-day-plover-whimbrel-remixes
    All proceeds from this compilation will be divided between a host of aid groups via ActBlue, selected by the artists: secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn
    Motoko & Myers are back on FT with a surprise remix album, stretching their Plover b/w Whimbrel 7” (FT052) into 14 tracks by handing over the binoculars to a host of remixers.
    “Plover” in particular is taken to techno heights only hinted at in the original by many of the producers, its beautiful melody acting like pure dance information, moldable into shape. Perko, Unknown Mobile and Davis Galvin get super busy with it for all the deejays, Doc Sleep & Glenn Astro (collaborating together) encase the collection in a 3-song suite of a remix, Ali Berger houses it down, Category goes off the dub deep end, and Flora FM goes full Dave Angel ravelife in amazing fashion.
    The drowsier “Whimbrel” gets shlazed, low-slung mixes from TMC and Jack Murphy as well as breaksplorations from Gag Reflex and DJML. Bass Clef combines both songs for a complete trip.
    A major pack, and survey of some of our music’s finest new producers too. Tip!
