Limited run of 100 vinyl copies only

Following from the success of Umwelt’s last mini-LP ‘Superior Life Forms’ on the label, Midnight Shift readies up another release, this time by Paàl. Having collaborated with the aforementioned on the earlier Mothership compilation (an allied Midnight Shift x Voitax production), the German producer is now handed the reins for full creative curation over the course of six tracks with features from close pals NGLY and Cressida.

Awash with a palate of dark and broken sounds yet with touches of warmth and humor, 'Soothing Songs For A Cultured Affair', burrows deep into the mind of the Voitax label boss. Lending from a rich musical upbringing, we witness the evolution of breakbeat and electro as seen through the eyes and ears of a producer at one with his machines. Paàl’s penchant for thunderous, rumbling low ends sets the precedent for the EP with glimpses of the artist’s knack for melodies and harmonies.
