Call it futurestep. Call it deepstep. Call it autonomic. Call it whatever you wish, but one thing is for sure – Hidden Element hailing straight from Kiev, Ukraine fail to make their music disappoint. With a fresh take on electronic sounds ranging from breathtaking beatless layers to +/- 170 BPM heavy hitters, these two have been making waves in the industry for some time already, releasing on 22:22, Alphacut, Med School, Pinecone Moonshine, and Translation – to name a few. But it is Absys Records that is the home for their full-length album entitled “Together”. The release is a collection of 13 amazing pieces of work, each hitting a slightly different tone, but making a wonderfully coherent whole. An entity that is enjoyed best when all of its components are played together, as the title suggests. The album focuses in majority on a rather home-listening experience, with tracks like “Aura” or “The night” setting the pace for a pleasant evening chill and boosting the laid-back mood even further with “Quite Place” or “Without U” - both infused with lovely vocals – that can serve well as modern-day lullabies. But there are also more lively accents (“Long way home”, “Who knows”), traces of live instrumentation (“The next day”), or ambient (“Bridge”). All in all, you get a fantastic cross-section of contemporary electronic music, a masterfully composed package of nothing but pure listening pleasure.

lyrics
We are wasting it for nothing
All the time that we stand
All the time we complain
We are wasting’ it for nothing
As if we are taking bane
All the time we’re on the way
All the time we aсquire grace
We fill everything with love
Finally we find a place

The original has to be one of my favourite Blocks & Escher tunes ever. When I heard Om Unit play the flipped version I went crazy for it as well! Such a masterfully done remix. Just check it out for yourself. Alegria

This album was another one of the truly important moments on Om Unit's path as an artist. He's way transcended being the turntablist master from his 2Tall days, the footwork jungle edit sensation that his Philip D Kick moniker is or other junglistic pigeonholing his Om Unit might have been subjected to. He's grown into his own self (see what I did there?) as an artist and doesn't need to prove anything to anyone anymore. And I for one am always curious what he brings us next <3 Alegria

Concealed Identity proved such a brilliant addition to the Narratives camp and this 12" shows exactly why. Both cuts are deep, cinematic and emotive - definitely timeless music. Even though I had this on promo, I had to still get the wax to make sure I have it in physical format. THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS. Alegria
