                          ............................

             Rounding out the month of May, Tash's Movement Recordings 
             welcomes Amir Telem back to the label for his debut EP. Famed 
             for releases via EIN2, Harabe, Kindisch and Nick Warren's The 
             Soundgarden, Israeli artist Amir Telem has continued to delight 
             fans with his unique take on organic house and melodic house and 
             techno. His spiritual creations have also found a place on 
             Movement Recordings, with two appearances on the label's popular 
             'Technical Progress' series. Now returning to Movement for his 
             first and much anticipated EP, Amir unveils 'Goloka', alongside 
             remixes from Ruben Karapetyan and Da Luka and Jorgio Kioris.

             Drawing on a variety of cross-cultural concepts, the EP begins 
             with 'Goloka'. On a backbone of warm beats comes mounds of 
             perfectly contoured bass and a lively percussive cadence. Fluid 
             and buoyant in equal measure, vibrant arps and ethno-vocals 
             descend over the framework, as soulful instrumentation and 
             timely effects unite in a perfect sonic marriage. The narrative 
             shifts as emotive chord changes initiate the main break, with 
             buzzing sonics and prayer-like phrasing gently rising towards a 
             spirited finale. The companion piece 'Valor' continues the 
             astral techno vibes of its predecessor. As the journey 
             commences, striking chord stabs and mystical vocals sit atop a 
             machine gun style groove and rolling rhythms. Percolating 
             effects and timely drops elevate mood as the first act evolves, 
             perfectly setting the stage for a devilish break. Furthering its 
             dramatic appeal, the centrepiece melts down to warm bass swells 
             and diabolical electronics, expertly elevating towards an 
             understated drop, as the groove gallops towards a stirring final 
             movement

             Providing the lone interpretation of 'Goloka' is Ruben 
             Karapetyan who returns to the label for his sixth appearance. 
             Having reinvigorated his career following a ten-year hiatus, 
             Armenian born, USA based artist Ruben Karapetyan has found 
             favour amongst progressive music tastemakers and fans alike. His 
             ethno-inspired take on the genre has flourished on Movement 
             Recordings, with six originals and one remix released across the 
             last eighteen months. Now, following standout offerings via 
             Balkan Connection and Mango Alley, Ruben returns to Movement 
             with a groovy take on 'Goloka'. Taking inspiration from the 
             original, Ruben flexes his free-thinking muscles and crafts a 
             version that lands comfortably between the surreal and exotic. 
             Neatly manicured percussion and a smooth, hip-swinging groove 
             set the course for layers of harmonic colour, which ultimately 
             provides a bridge into the main break. Coming to full fruition 
             across the centrepiece, tension rises through dancing arps, 
             grandiose chord changes and drum driven drama, while never 
             letting go of its tranquil vibration and smoothly pushing 
             onwards to a glowing, vocal infused finale.

             The release concludes with Da Luka and Jorgio Kioris providing 
             the lone interpretation of 'Valor'. Hailing from Albania and 
             Greece respectively, Da Luka and Jorgio have been occasional 
             studio partners in recent years, recording singles and remixes 
             for Droid9, Juicebox Music and Strange Town Recordings, perhaps 
             none more well-received than a recent remix of fast rising 
             artist Forty Cats. While Jorgio has been a regular contributor 
             to Movement since making his first appearance in 2018, Da Luka 
             makes his label debut here and together the duo deliver a 
             standout interpretation of 'Valor'. Engaging from the outset, 
             warm beats and rhythmic pulses converge for a sleek yet 
             energetic groove, while crisp percussion and buzzing effects 
             bring colour and texture to the framework. Building an engaging 
             narrative, wavy arps emerge as the

             first act evolves, bringing further swing to the groove, before 
             segueing smoothly into the main break. A fragmented take on the 
             lead theme highlights the centrepiece, delivering moments of 
             tension and emotion, before a flurry of effects and a gentle 
             rush of noise cues a powerful drop and exhilarating finale. A 
             stunning remix from Da Luka and Jorgio Kioris, which rounds out 
             a must-have EP from Amir Telem, a rising artist who has 
             delivered some of his most engaging work to date here. Don't 
             miss it.
