V.A. Hsüan-Te Volume 1

Hsüan-te is a series of VA designed to explore the various aspects of depth, in the realm of Dub. The music on this EP can be perceived as representing the seasons succeeding and fulfilling inexhaustibly the natural cycles of creation and destruction, one after the other, guided by the elements and their vital force.

With Seeds, Ohm opens up the record with warm chords and a steady groove suspended in the heavy atmosphere of a summer day.

GIacomo Pellegrino then invites the listener to follow the summer sun fading out to make space for regeneration. A deep repetitive, classic Dub Techno piece hosts Autumn at the end of Aside.

AGP (Anthony Georges Patrice) brings along the flipside Revenge Is A Tool For The Weak, as a way to let the power of forgiveness develop under the ice, as the cymbals start counting down the time left before the Sun shines again.

Alessandro Crimi closes the record with an epic, highly emotional majestically simplified piece of Deep Dub to which springtime itself will not resist to come over for the start of a new natural cycle.
