The latest release from Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes 
Dizharmonia back to the label with a new EP. Hailing from 
Athens, the Greek duo first appeared on the label in February of 
2018 with their well received 'Trigonon' EP. 2019 then saw 
Dizharmonia return to Movement, delivering a stunning remix of 
Wielki's 'Excelsior'. Firmly established in the world of melodic 
house and techno, the duo lays claim to an impressive resume, 
highlighted by releases on Beatfreak Recordings, Steyoyoke, Stil 
Vor Talent and Timeless Moment. Now making a welcome return to 
Movement, the duo presents their 'Alkahest' EP alongside remixes 
from Alex Preda and Binaryh.

Continuing to diversify their portfolio, Dizharmonia join forces 
with Eleonora on the title and showcase piece 'Alkahest'. Once 
again operating at a creative peak, the Greek duo crafts an 
astral storyboard of punchy beats, striking electronics and 
fiery percussion. It's this dramatic concoction which perfectly 
sets the stage for Eleonora's heavenly vocals. Ghostly and 
emotive in equal measure, they descend over the pulsating 
framework, while sections of cosmic effects advance the 
storyboard. Shifting further into poignant territory the 
grandiose break delivers just the right combination of tension 
and emotion, before a wall of glassy arps provide an energy 
bridge into a purring finale. Also included is a 'Deeper' 
version by the duo which will most certainly broaden the track's 
reach among cutting edge DJs.

The cosmic techno vibes of the companion piece 'Erevos' are 
perhaps an ideal complement to its predecessor. Electric and 
rolling, the undulating framework gets adorned with spastic 
synths, percussive flurries and astral artifacts. It's 
psychedelic presence quickly becomes enlightening, as timely 
transitions and a dramatic break elicit a poignant response, 
before an effervescent crest transfers energy into an evocative 
final act.

The first interpretation of 'Alkahest' is provided by Alex Preda 
who makes his label debut. Born and raised in Bucharest but now 
based in Amsterdam, the Romanian artist has etched out a unique 
place in the electronic underground. Often sitting in the 
creative space between progressive house and techno, Alex has 
showcased his music on Bedrock, DAYS like NIGHTS, Oddity and 
Parquet Recordings while earning the support of Adriatique, John 
Digweed, Pete Tong and Sasha. Now following an EP for Einmusika, 
Alex makes his Movement Recordings debut with a creative take on 
'Alkahest'. Drawing on the sensibilities of the original the 
Amsterdam resident leans in a more techno minded direction, with 
a reworked groove and spacious rhythmic core. Fragmented arps 
and tonal tension make for a dramatic first act, perfectly 
setting up impactful vocal sections leading into the break. 
Cinematic in scope, the centrepiece eventually melts down to a 
symphonic synth display, elevating mood as fiery electronics and 
a buzzing roll cue an exhilarating final movement.

The second and final interpretation of 'Alkahest' is provided by 
Binaryh who also make their label debut. The Brazilian duo found 
success early on in their career with a string of releases on 
Steyoyoke's 'Black' division before later landing releases on 
Timeless Moment and Sprout. Now regularly appearing in the sets 
of trendsetting DJs such as Tale of Us, Adriatique, Fideles, Fur 
Coat, Nicole Moudaber and Kevin de Vries Binaryh debut on 
Movement Recordings with a heady interpretation of 'Alkahest'. 
Quickly becoming infectious, its triplet core is driving and 
buoyant, layered with processed vocals and astral synths. 
Concise and perfectly timed, the main break drifts further into 
emotive territory, meditative at moments and striking at others, 
as breathy wails pierce the air, perfectly playing off hopeful 
atmospheres, before getting washed away in a trail of sonic 
sorcery. A stunning remix from Binaryh, rounding out another 
great offering from Tash's Movement Recordings.
