Sky H1 – “Land”

As part of 2013 Forward Festival in DC, PAN label head Bill Kouligas sat down for a Q&A session before his set at Tropicalia; about a dozen people were in attendance to hear Kouligas speak.  In the time since 2013, Kouligas and PAN have widened the scope of their sound and broadened their fan base with cutting edge, critically acclaimed albums from Objekt, Lee Gamble, and M.E.S.H. among others.  The latest release on PAN’s Codes sublabel, Motion, comes from Belgian producer SKY H1.  The EP’s lulling ambient haze is best exemplified by “Land,” whose lush synth pads wash over a dreamy downtempo rhythm while time pitched vocal snippets create the song’s vibrant melody.
