9000 Dreams

Avalon Emerson welcomes you to another edition of 9000 Dreams. Canadian producer Jex Opolis runs Good Timin’, a label operating at the intersection of 80s synth-pop and classic house. His tracks are based on analogue sound generators such as the Roland Juno, as well as precisely arranged basslines, and combine nostalgic references with unpretentious club functionality. Canadian artist regularfantasy’s productions showcase a sound deeply rooted in the house tradition. Her tracks are marked by syncopated rhythms, subtle vocal snippets and warm pad textures that create a melancholic dynamic. Salute, a producer who grew up in Vienna, blends influences from UK bass, garage and pop into a dynamic mix. Head of the Nervous Horizon label, TSVI is known for a polyrhythmic club approach. His productions combine traditional Mediterranean rhythms with elements of UK garage and techno.
