Renowned for their introspective and immersive sound design, the electronic duo TWO LANES has been teasing singles from their new album for weeks. Now, they’ve taken the music world by storm with the release of their awe-inspiring debut album, Duality.
Duality immerses you in the ambient realms of chill electronic and melodic techno. It showcases the duo’s exceptional talent for intricate composition and evocative emotion.
TWO LANES, composed of Berlin-based brothers Leo and Rafa, has successfully blended acoustic piano recordings with analog synthesizers and minimal beat elements, forging their signature sound. Hailing from a musical family, the duo embarked on separate musical paths during their formative years. Leo developed a profound interest in playing the piano, immersing himself in the works of acclaimed composers such as JS Bach, Schumann, and Debussy. His dedication led him to study at The Juilliard School in New York City, where he earned a Master’s Degree in Historical Performance. Meanwhile, Rafael’s fascination with electronic music drove him to spend countless hours exploring sound design and electronic production.
Duality stands as a testament to TWO LANES’ exceptional musical prowess and their ability to craft captivating compositions that resonate deeply with their audience. As listeners embark on this sonic journey, they can expect to be enchanted by the harmonious blend of acoustic and electronic elements, immersing themselves in a world of musical beauty and introspection. With the release of Duality, TWO LANES solidify their position as a force to be reckoned with in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music. [source]

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Jon Hopkins’ seminal fourth
album, Immunity, a newly remastered version of the record is now
available.
A confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality
and place, Immunity felt and still feels, like the accompaniment to a
journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind. It brought together
everything he had learnt and experienced already but also paved the way
for the evolution of his future records, most recently, 2021’s Music For
Psychedelic Therapy.
Immunity was a turning point in Hopkins’ career. On its release in 2013,
Immunity announced itself as a powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed
with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins had ever
made. However, Immunity was never just about the techno behemoths - of
which there were several. Hopkins wanted the album to help people to
reach different states of mind. From graceful and mournful piano notes,
stirring choral drones, he was always seeking new melodic routes to aid
this and his desire to use physical, real-world sounds as the basis for
many of the album’s rhythms allowed him to craft one of the most human
electronic albums.

Fila Brazillia are set to release ‘Retrospective Redux 90 → 22’, an up-to-date collection that encompasses their wide ranging output. From pioneering psychedelic beats in the early 90s through to subaqueous house, downtempo deliciousness, rustic funk, and deranged disco in the current day; the neoteric duo’s healthy lack of reverence to scene and industry pressures has resulted in this enthrallingly fluid compendium of the past 30 years of electronic music.
