Bronze Sun - Illusionz

The track by Bronze Sun entitled 'Illusionz' is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: Jan 31, 2025

Brooklyn-based bass producer Bronze Sun is back with his latest single, "Illusionz"—a mind-expanding fusion of deep bass, psychedelic textures, and hypnotic melodies. The track takes listeners on a journey through shimmering synths, weighty low-end, and a groove that hits both the body and the spirit.

"I wanted to create something that feels like stepping into a lucid dream—like you're floating," says Bronze Sun. "It’s spacey, it’s heavy, and it’s got that touch of funk that keeps it alive."

With a reputation for blending funk, soul, dubstep, and cosmic bass, Bronze Sun has been making waves in Brooklyn’s underground scene—both as a solo artist and co-founder of the Liminal Bass collective. His unique ability to craft immersive, high-energy soundscapes has earned him a growing following, and Illusionz is only adding to the momentum.

Mental Minority - The Fortress Within

The new release by Mental Minority entitled 'The Fortress Within' is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Released February 3rd, 2025

Producer Mental Minority is what Skyrim is to the PS3 world. Noteworthy, respected and continually revered, Bremen’s jewel in a synthesizer crown keeps shining alight in the darkness of the unworthy.. and the delusion of the untalented. Mental Minority makes it all seem real and extremely “Kraftwerk” & “Fear of Tigers” possible.

Dött ljus - Bottna

The album released today entitled 'Bottna' by Dött ljus, is now featuring on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Released 5th February 2025

Slowcraft is leaning into the new year with a confident, cross-genre excursion into the exuberant world of Dött ljus.

Stockholm producers Johan Kisro and Petter Lindhagen are making all the right moves with their debut Bottna. The duo clearly prize curiosity and spontaneity, yet somehow the irrepressible energy of their hybrid electronica finds itself subtly grounded in a tenderly ambient melancholy. It’s a finely wrought balance, instinctively judged, resulting in a remarkably nuanced collection that abandons all expectation and trespasses across genre boundaries, sparking the precise neural connections needed to lift us from our northern hemisphere gloom into a hopeful, heartfelt groove.

Bottna is presented digitally and in a limited cassette edition designed by James Murray and Simon Vince with bespoke artwork by Kajsa H. Bolve. As always every element of this release is carefully considered, assembled with utmost care and comes with the very warmest recommendation from Slowcraft to our loyal listeners.

Dive Maru - Luna Pass (Redux)

Playing on M.P.R Chill is the latest release by Dive Maru entitled 'Luna Pass (Redux)'

 

 

Release date: Jan 17, 2025

Dive Maru AKA UK based producer Nick Allan is a long time guitarist, singer songwriter, multi instrumentalist and producer.

Going on hiatus as a singer songwriter in 2020 due to the pandemic and beginning a family. West Midlands based musician and sound engineer Nick began working on some older triphop demos in his home studio, finally releasing his debut EP ‘The Calm’ in January 2023 under the new name ‘Dive Maru’.

Using it as an outlet for his creativity and to hone his productions during the Coronavirus era ‘The Calm’ was a selection of tracks he’d been working on and off the previous 10 years during his other music projects.

Luna Pass, the final track on the EP opened a new direction for him, pushing him towards a more organic electronica / dance orientated soundscape. A sound that massively influenced his next two releases.

This rerelease has a tweaked production, new mix and master. A melodic chilled track with a pulsing bass, choppy hypnotic pads and warm keys.

"Slimdog Productions, the brainchild of David Bell Jr, hailing from Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In 2005, he joined with two other talented individuals to form the formidable group known as “Block Scholars.” They took home the prestigious “Hip Hop Song Of The Year” award at the Hollywood Music In Media Awards for their song “All Of My Life" in 2014. Despite the group's eventual dissolution, It was on his third solo album, “Slimstrumentals Vol III,” where David's musical ingenuity truly shined. The album's standout track, "SuperFly'd," captured the attention of listeners far beyond the borders of Colorado. In a surprising turn of events, "SuperFly'd" climbed the charts in Norway, making waves on not one, but two iTunes charts. On January 21, 2024, the song secured a notable position, claiming position 13 on the Dance chart and position 84 on the General Genres chart, then again charting for a 3rd time on the France Dance charts at 46 on June 25th, 2024. As David Bell Jr continues to make his way in the industry, one thing remains clear: his music has the power to captivate hearts and minds around the world. Slimdog Productions invites listeners to embark on a journey through sound, where the possibilities are limitless and the experiences unforgettable.".

Monssun - Wonderland XX

Playing on M.P.R Chill is the 2019 release entitled 'Wonderland XX' by Monssun.

 

 

Release date: Jun 28, 2019

Monssun is a musician and producer based in Lithuania. "I mostly create electronic & electropop music, though over the years many different styles were written, so at this point I see myself as a multi-genre artist".

"Through the releases you will find some chillout music, a bit of drum n bass, electronic tracks that feature synths and ambience soundscapes accompanied with some progressive beats. While first focusing on purely instrumental compositions, I'm adding more vocals to my music and finding my own sound. My main focus are electronic & electropop genres, but I seldom do write something in between like experimental stuff, soundtracks, and I also do covers that you can mostly find on YouTube, along with lots of officially unreleased productions".
