about

Our label is back with the most extensive body of work to date. We’re proud to present Crystalline: 10-track VA with gems from the talent of Polish underground scene. Spanning over a variety of styles and genres. Crystalline is truly an encapsulation of different musical inspirations that gave birth to SPLOT. And a sign of what’s to come.

Crystalline moves towards the urban dancehall and mutant bass with opening track ‘kostomłoty’ from the local underground musician repmeis. Next up is don dadan karambolo, SPLOT ambassador who brings cold bassline and one-of-a-kind dub-stepping business in ‘dym’. Drum and bass professor continues his multigenre journey. Mighty Satl rolls out dubby, techno-flavoured and syncopated rhythms in ‘Noodles142’.

Wrocław based Michał Łoboda comes next with an introspective broken techno tool. ‘evergreen’ explores the spaces of soothing bass and damp ambiance. The vibe is continued by another local talent. Rethe presents sophisticated production skills on his deep and spaced-out track. Dominated by massive drums and absorbing textures, ‘Under Construction’ is a first-class heady dancefloor destroyer. Prime cuts of UK-inspired rhythms are provided by holoe. Driven by powerful bassline, garage keys and rude electro, ‘screwface’ fulfills promise in the title.

One-half of a cult Warsaw duo Private Press, 2Shy comes with a hybrid of dubstep-influenced techno, rolling drums and trance structures that plunge the listener into a mental rollercoaster with ‘Nexu Modes’. Fischerle brings his tape-ambient feeling to a stomping, dub-heavy ‘Omoluzu’, which twists organic percussions and dense atmospheres together into a spiral.

A long time live-act performer Adam Salamøn puts together his first track ‘Elegy for the Clouds’, being a captivating ambient piece, which guides us through a misty tropical forest, finished with emotive pads. Representing Warsaw, Cafe de la Jungle brings cyberspace-tribal energy on the title track ‘Crystalline 99’. Channelling the futuristic and psychedelic sounds of early 1990s jungle, he closes the release and leads us into the sound of the new millennium.
