February Releases on TMet Recordings
We've had a flurry of new releases on TMet Recordings this month. We're delighted to bring you two more gorgeous Chillout tracks from Wellington based Echo:

These Days are Meant for Crying is about the joys of sadness and the misery of good fortune. The title's kinda ironic as the music's on the uplifting side of the spectrum. Basically to sum it up, it's about being able to wear your heart on your sleeve and being proud of it as humans are emotional creatures, which keeps us unique and animated.

In the Closing Hour is about not being able to let go and move on, be it relationships, death, the end of something good etc. The lyrics says it all..."In the closing hour, she came to me, and gave me flowers from the dead, to keep me alive instead".

We've added some young blood with two new additions to the TMet Producer crew. Discovered by our A&R guy Justin Sane, Focus is a young Christchurch based producer. One of the Xchurch hard dance Nitrate and Rinsed crews, he has displayed an impressive range for someone who is only 17. We expect big things from this young man.

Happily Ever After is the debut release from young Focus. An uplifting slice of engrossing psytrance, the percussion echoes off into a pristine space as solid bass drives the track ever onwards. It clocks in at an epic 10 minutes and includes a great left-turn as it drops into a deep drum & bass tinged fat bass breakdown in the middle. We love it when the doof doof go mwaaarp instead.

Losing Senses was a hard one to categorise. We don't currently have a psychedelic techno section, so until we do, this track will live in Hard Dance. So, there you have it. Psychedelic Techno. We love it!

Liquid is a slightly psychedelic uplifting trance from Christchurch prodigy Focus. A smooth, subtle trance groover to fit it's name, Liquid is perfect for outdoors and will put a smile on yer face.

Another young Kiwi still in his teens, Dunedin based H.U.M.N. is probably one of the most Southern dance producers in the world!

This debut release from H.U.M.N is a genre busting gem. Absolute Zero is reminiscent of Italian Techno/Trance, but with a chilling tension and an Electro edge. This is sure to bring a refreshing element to any set.
