TL 1010 | Blue Visions | Chill House Voyage

Available for purchase at Bandcamp.

Levitate into scintillating Adriatic dreams with Chill House Voyage, a splash of invigorating electronic music. Karl Mohr’s Viennese period featured a foray into broader-appeal ambient house music: percolating late summer nights and early pool-side after party mornings are called to mind on this moody, azure delight. Blue Visions has been Mohr’s most successful music project, distilling the best aspects of European deep house and ambient dub into a brisk, refreshing uptempo cocktail. In its first incarnation as 2004’s A Journey Into Chill House, the single “Wassernixe” was featured on a Sony/Columbia compilation Vienna Vibrations 2 – The 2nd Gathering; a clear blue vinyl 12″ Wassernixe/Froze Like Ice was released by Interdimensional Industries. “House Of The Rising Void” appeared in a feature film sequel to Trainspotting called Ecstasy (2011), and many of the tracks were heard on the Canadian television series Metropia. The gorgeous remastering of Tape Life’s new re-issue of this chill house classic reveals two previously unreleased tracks. Ideal for the dance floor, cocktail party or melt-away summer vacation, the shifting tones of the chill house genre are addressed with panache by Blue Visions; two tracks incorporate beautifully the brazen torch vocals of jazz singer Chantal Thompson. For fans of Café Del Mar, José Padilla, 808 State, Todd Terry. Genres include chillout, chill house, deep house, ambient, electronic.
