News and Reviews

New release: Uranometria by The Shimmer Effect

03.01.2012

Happy new year to all!

To kick off 2012 we are excited and proud to announce the release of the much anticipated debut album, Uranometria, by the eclectic South African (Sjanine Steyn) / Scottish (Stephen Mullarkey) electronic duo, The Shimmer Effect.

The extact style of the album is hard to pinpoint, with traces of trip-hop and idm coming through, but what stands out is that is a meticulously crafted album from start to finish, taking you on a sonic journey through valleys of deep moods and mountains teeming with hidden energy.

This is how artist put it: "The Shimmer Effect takes you on a fantastic journey into the unconsciousness with their first album 'Uranometria'. Loaded with atmospheric rhythmes, colourful yet haunting soundscapes, and an assortment of flavors, styles and feels, this genre-bending duo delivers what most say is a unique and successful international musical collaboration."

New release: Liberation by The X-Structure

18.12.2011

A futuristic western space opera?

That's what The X-Structure are calling their latest genre defining album, Liberation, and what we now know of The X-Structure is that they sure know how to be creative in the definition of their music. But even more catchy and creative is the music on this 7 track album which is a journey into a world where darkness has corrupted the once good town of Hopefound. Only a Hero can save the people from this darkness and bring back the light of freedom. This is the story of their liberation.

New release: Nabù by The Swindler Beat

21.11.2011

It has finally come to pass for the Italian netlabel 51beats and us, Bushmen Records, to continue our pioneering "joint-release" collaboration. This time around we present to you the guest artist The Swindler Beat with their latest release Nabù.

This album can be described as dance music of a dystopic future. If you have ever watched the show Samurai Jack then picture in your mind the scene in the bar when Jack first appears in the future. This album could be straight from that future world but it is here now, being danced to by present-day earthlings in the underground clubs of Milan, Italy and listend to by others all over the world.

It is a great album, if the previous description did not convince you, and it is not just for tripping the light fantastic in dark clubs but also a good companion when tapping away at your keyboard in your online and offline adventures.

New release: The Future by The X-Structure

13.10.2011

The X-Structure, not waiting for the dust to settle on The Past, brings us the mind-bending, space-tripping, time-travelling epic, The Future.

This album is indeed a trip and really takes you deep into a place of contemplation. As with all of The X-Structure's previous releases this album is a perfect companion to take with on a roadtrip into the remoter parts of where you live and, as they put it, to be the elevator music for your everday adventures in life.
