The first Tri Angle release of the year maintains the label's unerring knack for the now, presenting the debut release from Lotic. To the uninitiated, Lotic is the Texas-born, Berlin based producer whose role in the Janus collective alongside PAN man M.E.S.H. and Kablam has been making serious waves. Last year's Damsel In Distress mixtape, a mix of all-original material and twisted club refixes of tracks like Beyonce's "Drunk In Love" marked Lotic as a most interesting talent. Given the acclaim for Damsel In Distress, it is perhaps unsurprising Lotic has aligned with respected label Tri Angle for the five track EP Heterocetera. Lotic fans will recognise elements of the panic-stricken track from Damsel In Distress, though it appears in a new and improved form.

The boundless debut from the London-based artist is a delirious tug of war between pleasure and unease, shuttling between club sounds and psychedelic mind states with a steely, unbridled intensity.

The London producer’s third album tests the boundaries of dance music not just for the sake of experimentalism, but as an expression of vulnerability and a vehicle for self-knowledge.

Nervous Horizon is very proud to present TSVI’s debut album: ‘Inner Worlds’. The album is about reconnecting to one’s true self and the discovery of the inner worlds: it is born from an ongoing artistic journey, which began in TSVI’s childhood. The artist grew up with parents who practise Hinduism, which is quite unusual for an Italian family. In most recent times he was hugely inspired by his partner’s religious and musical background, after she exposed him to Middle Eastern music and Sufi ideologies. TSVI started creating tracks that were influenced by bellydance percussionists such as Emad Sayyah and Hossam Ramzy, combined with Dancehall, Tarraxo and Trance. The album is largely influenced by the role of music in transcendental Sufi practices and resembles an inner journey through different states of meditation and self-discovery. Vedic and Tantric knowledge are also important here. Each track is a state of mind from the opening one, ‘Root’, to the last one, ’Crown’, as they represent the first and last Chakras and all the other states found in-between. Get ready to embark on a journey through mind, body and soul.
