"London-based artist Dean Blunt presents his first official solo LP, The Redeemer, released via his own World Music imprint and Hippos in Tanks. The Redeemer proceeds with a yet more direct and heartfelt message, and a notable lifting of the veil of tape hiss and blurred signifiers that characterized Blunt's previous work."

"Chunky Monkey is the latest release from ADR, the avatar of Aaron David Ross, multimedia artist and member of the critically acclaimed Gatekeeper duo. Lauded as 'bright, erotic and alive' by The New York Times, ADR has demonstrated his spirited, panache production style across a variety of projects over the last several years. He now readies his sophomore solo LP Chunky Monkey for release this spring. A collection of airtight compositions which flex a range of influences, Chunky Monkey recalls the smoothness of big beat, trip hop, and reggae against the hard swing of acid jazz. It fuses the silky cheese of Musak with the melancholy plush of jungle and downbeat. Through precise and idiosyncratic blends, ADR conjures a sound for shopping malls to space stations; a shark-eyed jest downloaded from the fractured fizz of new consumerism."

"Aspiring urban cowboy Physical Therapy, aka New Jersey producer Daniel Fisher, breathes a stoned warmth into the rave resurrection with Safety Net, his debut EP on Hippos in Tanks. Drawing on a deep rooted love of house music, heavy bass, and organic energy, he presents his unique vision of drum 'n' space. Bodily shapes move in and out of focus as melodic lines skitter across five instinctive, sweat-beaded tracks. New frontier imagining opener 'Record Sales' hums with grainy textures, distant horns, and Physical Therapy's own primal grunts. His voice is used as an underlying percussive element throughout the record, realizing a desire to be present in the songs. From the Baby D evoking drum 'n' bass of 'Drone On,' featuring NYC vocalist Jamie Krasner, to ecstatic gospel house meditation 'Do It Alone' with Steven Phillips-Horst on keyboard, Safety Net is a record to both soak your bones in and move freely to; a record of elevating mind and body music."
