Capping off a successful year, Tash's Movement Recordings 
welcomes Circle of Life and ZAC to the label for a special two 
track showcase. No stranger to Movement Recordings is Circle of 
Life who returns for his sixth appearance. The Serbian artist 
made his label debut in 2019 with the well-received 'Black 
Light' EP. The next two years would see the Belgrade resident 
forge a strong bond with the label, delivering three originals 
and two remixes across four excellent releases, while also 
landing projects for top tier imprints such as Beat Boutique, 
Beatfreak, Siona Records, Sprout and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat 
Music. Meanwhile, making his label debut is Brazilian talent 
ZAC. The Santa Catarina resident has enjoyed immense success 
over the course of his fourteen-year career. ZAC's well-kept 
discography is highlighted by releases for Einmusika, 
Eklektisch, Freegrant Music and Warung Recordings. Now 
collaborating for the first time, Circle of Life and ZAC join 
forces for their much-anticipated double A-side vehicle 'Kosmos 
/ New Moon'.

Beginning with 'Kosmos', Circle of Life and ZAC demonstrate just 
how strong their creative synergy is. Led by a robust groove, 
pulsating rhythms and astral stabs, its ethereal nature 
captivates from the outset. Dark and cavernous across the first 
act, a dramatic sensibility rises as flickering sonics and 
arcane overlays blanket the electric groove. Stripping down into 
the second of two breaks a more emotive sensibility rises, as 
luminous tonal themes provide a warm glow amidst a haze of 
colour and harmony, eventually giving way to a flurry of drums 
as the energetic groove drops for a spirited finale.

The duo's dual dance floor vision continues on the second and 
final selection 'New Moon'. Led by a warm yet punchy groove, its 
rippling rhythms and phasing atmospheres unite for a captivating 
storyboard. Energy rises quickly with its peak time drive and 
wonky lead synths, perfectly offset with layers of clattering 
percussion and astral effects, the latter of which provides a 
bridge into the main break. Melting down to a sonic sizzle, it's 
a billowing elephant-like theme which highlights the interlude, 
bringing with it waves of anticipation as a percussive cluster 
ignites a stripped back drop and devilish finale. A powerful 
production which rounds out a must-have collaborative project 
from Circle of Life and ZAC. Don't miss it.
