Philadelphia native James Watts, a.k.a. Kilowatts, returns to Thoughtless Music with three signature tracks combining innovative sound design with captivating arrangements. In his hiatus since releasing 'Love on Saturn' for TLM018, James has been busy indeed – releasing his deep ambient work on Somnia, a sci-fi hip- hop full-length along with MC Amagine as Super Galactic Expansive, and producing 'The Paranormal' for Claude VonStroke's Mothership label as one half of Voodeux. His forward-thinking production style stands out in a world of mass-duplicated dance music, and this EP is no exception. We begin with 'The Ringing Spheres', which brings smooth hypnosis to a slow boil, resulting in a subtle yet majestic crescendo anchored by iconic keys. Deftly merging IDM roots with modern tech-house aesthetics, 'Speed of Time' displays KiloWatts' fluency in the studio with a stunning meld of broken beats, driving rhythms and a futuristic funk we can only hope the world is ready for. …

I've got yet another jam-packed edition of solipsistic NATION for you this week! We'll talk with Mad E.P. and O' Slick, Sean Horton from the Decibel Festival taking place in Seattle this weekend, mutantrumpeter Ben Neill, and Thesis from the Echodub collective record label. And of course I'll play you the best of all genres of electronic music!

As I mentioned, we'll also talk with Sean Horton, the founder of the Decibel Festival, a four-day annual music and arts festival dedicated to live electronic music, visual art and new media. The Decibel Festival began in 2004 and has been gathering momentum each year. This year's festival features more than 100 performers hailing from 10 countries in 14 venues across Seattle…

Philadelphia's Kilowatts is back in action: following his releases as one half of Mothership's Voodeux, he continues to develop his distinctive Thoughtless Music sound with playful grooves, twisted melodic structures and plenty of spacey effects. Defining a new hybrid of techno and house all his own - with influences ranging from intergalactic jazz to visionary funk - this collection might just be enough to make you fall in love, regardless of the planet you're on...
