If you are looking for a bit of calm, absolute relaxation and musical bliss while the frost bites your bare skin and the snowflakes stab you in the eye, there will always be one thing you long for the most: some gentle chill tunes to drive the cold away. Much like curling up in your favorite chair with a thick blanket and a good book, "Essence - Solace Sessions" helps you fight the winter cold until the first signs of spring emerge. Ranging from laid-back compositions by Blanju and Elgone to the Nu-Jazz,  Drum & Bass and Nu-Disco vibes of Pentex, Genuine Fakes and Bread N Butta.

"Essence - Solace Sessions" includes new materials of Pentex from Riverside, making an impressive debut on 19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGS, and label resident Genuine Fakes. With it, you'll be able to enjoy every single second of it!

『Essence - Intuitive Sessions』から約1年の時を経て、『Essence』シリーズが再び冬の装い『Essence - Solace Sessions』として登場。19BOX(ジュークボックス) RECORDINGSのコンピレーション・シリーズとしては異例となる6曲の新作を収録。レーベル初加入となるPENTEXは、ニュー・ジャズやドラムンベースにて4曲を、レーベル・レジデントのGENUINE FAKESは、ニュー・ディスコな装いの2曲を提供し、全11曲にて寒い季節を乗り切る冬の癒しをパッケージ。

ELGONE
ALPHA
1.ORIGINAL MIX
2.ALLAN ZAX REMIX
RELEASE DATE : Dec. 16th, 2022(beatport) / Jan. 13th, 2023(other)

French producer and label favourite, Elgone, lands back on DJ 19's 19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGS with brand-new track. A hypnotic, reflective, atmospheric melodic techno stepper, 'Alpha' oozes class and sophistication to satisfy euphoric and feel-good needs.

On remix duty we welcome once again Allan Zax who is known for his polished melodic sound. His unique act and emotional creations carry quite a large scope. He keeps the ethereal theme of the original alive, and his touch up takes the energy levels up a notch, but increases the melancholy with stripped back and lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious synth riffs grace the rework changing the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the effected groove. 

常連でありレーベルの顔であるフランスのELGONEが、メロディック・テクノの影響下にあるヒプノティックなトラック「Alpha」を携え、DJ 19が主宰する19BOX(JUKEBOX) RECORDINGSに帰還。姉妹レーベルであるPARK LIMITED MUZIK的サウンドながら、プログレッシヴ・ハウスとも交差する陶酔感を伴ったアトモスフェリックな質感が絶妙で、ジャンルを超越して重宝されること間違いなし。そして、同じく19BOX RECORDINGSを代表するプロデューサー、ブルガリアのALLAN ZAXがリミックスにてリリースを輔翼。得意のメロディックな要素を加味し、グルーヴ感を増してエナジー・レヴェルを引き上げてくれた。
