Current - "The Dream Cabinet" (2006)

review by Darren Bergstein, e/i Magazine Exquisitely crafted genre music of a particularly fetching sort, The Dream Cabinet explores willowy ambience and plush velvet rhythms with equal aplomb, the sort of record you might expect little from but which surprisingly rewards endlessly enjoyable dividends.

Aquavit is being mastered as we speak. Sounding good, that’s for sure. 

AkkuratD official myspace is up. You can listen to the Azam Ali remix, 41 ways,  that we talked about earlier as well as a couple of new tracks; Window Widow and a demo; Bliper Fever. Check it out here.

Current has started a new collaboration with Bille Ray Martin.
That’s right; Billie and Robert are working together on a new kind of ambient/electronic project. They have finished their 4th song, and are currently working on number 5.

Rubecks remix of Origin Unknown and Eidetakers remix of Tin Man are now available on Juno Records in England, you can get it online here. To listen to the whole mixes, go to Current myspace profile.

AkkuratD has done a lot of Dj sessions lately and also will do in June (what’s rest of it) and July, so if you are in Murcia (Spain), please be sure to stop by. More information about the venues can be found on Current and AkkuratD myspace.

Aquavit (Michael Snyder/Eidetaker and Robert); mixing is finished and they are moving on to the mastering process which means they are getting closer to the release, we are very excited about that!

So, AkkuratD (Robert) has made a remix for Azam Ali, of the track “41 ways” from the album ELYSIUM FOR THE BRAVE (also known for the music for the film “300”).  Her record company loved it and have asked for permission to use it.  The track "41 ways (fourtooneway remix)" will be available for listening on AkkuratD´s officially my space page, which will be available in a couple of weeks.

“The Dream Cabinet” is now on rotation on Subsonic Temple, “Your underground music sanctuary”. A great radio station for chills, down-tempo and deep-house.

Head on over and take a look at Planet Origo.

Robert has started working on a new project called Akkurat D, musically as well as a DJ. His own sanctuary for letting out other sides of electronic music; tech-house, minimal, techno and then some…. A new place with music samples available in April.
