  • The first full-length by Morris Cowan is called Circa, and will come out this March on Traum sub-label Zaubernuss. Cowan has kept a pretty low profile to date, with just a few tracks on Nottingham's Wigflex imprint (under the name Taylor) and some recent remixes for artists on Traum. Hailing from Manchester, his musical background lies in post-rock, dub and classical as well as house and techno. This makes him a perfect fit for Zaubernuss, which Riley Reinhold and Jacqueline Klein launched last year as an "expressive" and "emotional" complement to their host of other labels (Traum, Trapez, Paintwork, My Best Friend, etc.) In terms of style, Circa balances 4/4 club tracks with broken-beat sketches, and stays both melodic and atmospheric throughout. Tracklist 01. Cavern Jige 02. Hasten Chimera 03. Conflate 04. Sunnyville 05. Desire Line 06. Magnetor 07. Elixir 08. Flutterby Zaubernuss will release Circa on March 16th, 2011.
