Homes Art Music is back around this time with a very interesting EP by talented African artist, Sin Tek. Karmacho Original version has a very inclined groove with a pluck, and an interesting freak-out type breakdown that could bring to the dancefloor a rather warped atmosphere. The Julian Misher remix is a track with a mellower te..

Homes Art Music is back again with “Outter - Part 2,” as a great follow up remix pack to French producer, David Hopperman’s “Outter,” released last month. Contrasting the original electro-tinged plucky prog driver, Ariel Curtis’ Remix has a smooth mellowness to it, and the occasional quirks in the lead arrangement are a superb touch, not unnotice..

Silent Expressions Original mix brings simple and smooth progressive, no blasting synths or overdone percussion. It's easy going and good for mixing/layering. The main synth is mellow and works up slowly. The bassline is proggy and changes key a bit. Nice track overall, easy going early material. Fervency Original Mix is also deep and mellow, with simil..
