Across the span of the last 10 years, Outtallectuals has consistently given a platform to the deluge of ecclectic electronic producers and composers from the around the world. Through both their discography and representation, as well as their own publication, their label has become a one-stop shop for avant-garde music, with a specialty for hybridized genres and sonic profiles. In celebration of this decade in service to the progeny of far-out sound, they've tapped into their roster of talent and preferred associates to craft the Liminal Lore Compilation LP.

In true Outtallectuals fasion, Liminal Lore is primarily defined by it's effusive world music influence. Taking advantage of timbres ranging from tribal percussion and dulcimers, to violins, slide guitars, and ample foley, each track lends itself to the wider immersion that the compilation seeks to achieve. Merging a slew of tempos touching on the boundaries of system music and broken-beat varieties, Liminal Lore’s 14 songs play from end to end with the rolling intensity of an incoming tide, echewing the easy trap of becoming rhythmically stagnant. Tracks like Halfred and Lo. Renzo’s “Inaani” feature funk-laden phrases boasting tricked-out instrumental cuts and a generous palette of effective glitches and audio artifacts. Dipping into more emulsified flavors, the Byzantine Time Machine, Maynix, and Yuhri collaboration “Fever Dream” typifies the sultrier side of the compilation, opting for a cruising speed tempo and a collaged composition in tight synchronicity with a bevy of synthesized low-end slices. Each singular point across the timestamp of Liminal Lore is at once both entirely indicative of the Outtallectuals brand and entirely unique in execution, landing itself the title of the most critical release to date in the Outtallectuals catalog.

Ten years of non-stop service to niche electronic music communities is no easy task, but all along the way, the Outtallectuals team has made the endeavour feel like a natural extension of their waking lives. Year after year, they've delivered coveted frequencies to a discerning global audience, and Liminal Lore is but the next step in the ongoing progression of the Outtallectuals mission. If what you hear catches your ears, be sure to dive into the entirety of the Outtallectuals catalog and get submersed in a decade of expert musical experimentation.
