Avantroots is one of the leading dub related labels in recent years taking the genre to its furthest and freshest perspectives while still respecting the history and the figures inside it. One of those historical figures is the legendary Linval Thompson whose credits and list of those he influenced are pages long. To have Linval be the lead on this project truly makes this a unique and special release. "World Crisis" is Linval's message and it is as definitive as ever. There is a lot of thought put into each step and portion of this project. The overall traditional dub concept is to feature different voices over the same instrumental where this, flips the script and each version has a different electronic music producer add their talents to create their own signature account. The result is an extraordinary and well composed EP. Deepchord, Deepnaut, Pulshar, and Braulio Lam were specifically chosen to head up this treasured task of taking "World Crisis" into their realms.

A double vinyl compilation that perfectly captures Pulshar's sound: an elegant mixture of dub, techno, R&B, and ambient. Contains 12 tracks previously unreleased on vinyl. This release was certainly not meant to be a "Best of" compilation but it is a collection of special moments that Sergio and Pablo wanted to capture and share on one definitive release. This is an opportunity to look back on Pulshar's career in a retrospective and reflect about how their background and influences have led to the complete sound of the act. Umbra/Lux (title based on their production technique that naturally blends dark and light aesthetics) contains 17 tracks that traverse the gamut of their sound with an impeccable level of quality. "A crossover sound that the deepest electronic heads and mainstream music fans can equally enjoy. The energy in their music is universal, and moves all who are exposed to it. One of my all-time favorites" --Rod Modell (Deepchord/Echospace). "Music that came from some intimate and deeply ethereal place that effortlessly bridged the gap between the dance floor and the home-listening environment. Pulshar is a unique dub-heavy, soulful, psychedelic journey." --Vladimir Ivkovic
