“Daydreaming” (2×12″ album)
After putting out a string of brilliant singles and EP’s in the past few years, Slavaki released his first artist album “Daydreaming”. It’s hard to believe it’s taken him 7 years since the first release, to come up with the idea of releasing a ”full-length”. No wonder, tracks have gotten time-tested, and have been carefully selected out of over 10 continuous hours of material written in the period between the year 2011 and 2015. Out on artists home label Elusive at the beginning of 2016 on limited 2×12″ vinyl, CD and digital. This album is another peek into Slavaki’s ever-expanding chest of musical treasures that never seems to fail to surprise. Skip forward: May 2018. Slavaki releases the self titled album ‘Slavaki’, a limited edition double-CD, in a hand-stamped recycled card sleeve. Spread between the “Sun” and the “Moon” discs, a total of 119 minutes of Slavaki’s wild, enigmatic, original music!

ANALOGUE SUMMING
When it comes to mastering audio I recommend anyone at least trying Analogue Summing. Elusive records use the technique on almost all releases because of the difference in separation, clarity and depth you get, comparing to your “in the box” mixes, is just incredible.
