Steely Dan hadn't been a real working band since Pretzel Logic, but with Aja, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's obsession with sonic detail and fascination with composition reached new heights. A coolly textured and immaculately produced collection of sophisticated jazz-rock, Aja has none of the overt cynicism or self-consciously challenging music that distinguished previous Steely Dan records. Instead, it's a measured and textured album, filled with subtle melodies and accomplished, jazzy solos that blend easily into the lush instrumental backdrops.

The Gods We Can Touch is an elegant and celestial but provocative album about shame, desire and morality, all seen through the narrative prism of Greek mythology. In each of the album's fifteen songs we meet a different god. Featuring lead single "Cure For Me," the album is ultimately "a celebration of being human, and what makes us human." Japan Commemorative Edition with a bonus disc including many world first recorded songs and valuable live recordings on the third album "The Gods We Can Touch", which first appeared in Norway and won first place!

Infections Of A Different Kind Of Human is the complete collection of Infections Of A Different Kind and A Different Kind Of Human. Step I, release in 2018 was a claxon call, a call to arms, a record which oozes confidence, colour and intrigue. “There’s a deeper understanding of myself and what I want to say and do than on my first album. It’s more tuned into my soul and who I am,” explains the Bergen-based artist of IOADK-SI. “It’s about the many, many different aspects of what it is to be human. It covers the way we hurt and we love and the way we are so beautiful but also so awful.” ‘Step 2’, as AURORA refers to it, is a record that focuses on the ecological crisis and the consequences of the rampant individualism so prevalent in today’s society.

An excellent collection of sunset-included chill songs, perfect for morning or night. The recompilation, as the mix work shows a heartful dedication by Bruno Lepetre, who sadly would kept up with the Chillhouse Series just until volume 4. About the songs, they're simply the perfect blend between Chicago soulful house and passionate Ibiza rhythms. This is the perfect soundtrack to a chilled out party with friends, sitting by the pool, or even relaxing at home in front of the fireplace.
