about

A breath of fresh air, borne in the crisp dewbedecked morning, mingled with subtle zephyrs of scent:
Orchid Sessions represents the work of Ajnkana during June of Twenty-Two.
Five long excursions into the realms of ambient waves and dub techno hypnotism.
Session I [Cymbidium] opens with a darkly emotive, brooding texture underpinned with well shaped bass to simmer under the surface. Session II [Encyclia] then continues with a more overt 'chill-out' destination; hints of melodic arpeggiator, interspersed white noise and shuffling hats drive the track while remaining pleasantly restrained.
Session III [Phalaenopsis] being the second longest piece represents a sensitivity indicative of the album as a whole, with gently surreptitious filtered stabs. It precedes the more upbeat [Vanda] in a long-winding meander through contemplative moods, hung in a balance of sublime tolerance.
Session IV takes the motif of filtered stabs to the next level. Opening without intro [Vanda] gets right down to business. It's almost
electric roboticism simmers along with careful use of intermittent delay and reverb.
The album continues with Session V [Ludisia] which
opens with laid back synth pads before fixing itself in a lulling bass groove layered above with highly modulated rhythmic synth waves covered in mingled texture. Its simplicity its charm. Next, Session VI [Maxillaria] picks up into a more dancefloor orientated piece while remaining quite restrained at the same time. Featuring a lush main synth and somewhat heavier percussion. Session VII [Phaius] is ambient dub techno at it's more peaceful. Session VIII [Odontoglossum] features a more developed style of bassline with rhythmic noise in the high end with intermittent sounds scattered throughout. Session IX [Zygotpetalum] ends the album on a high note with subtle groove and atmospheric pads leaving Orchid Sessions an ideal work for mellow moods,
soporiferous relaxation or the deeper side of the dancefloor.

Rather than answering why do I love this album, I am gonna offer another question. Why don't you own it already? This is Dub Techno for the connoisseur. This is a piece of class music. I see it as a tribute to the bootlegs from back when vinyl was all there was. Ahh, times do change. Go ahead and download it, the music's boss. Bethelina_DJ

There’s dub techno coming out every week, but trust me as a long time fan of the genre when I say this is one of the most rock solid digital releases of 2022. Immaculate production and some proper head nodding bass. Mimetaur
