Compiled by DJ Arash Atman, manager of the Samothraki Dance Festival Chill stage, Polymorphic Convolutions is the first compilation to be released by Athens based downtempo freestyle label Electronic Soundscapes Records.

Featuring a selection of exclusive and previously unreleased tracks from some of the world's most innovative chillout producers, Polymorphic Convolutions transports the listener to the shady beachstage at Samothraki – the ultimate chill destination, where many of these artists performed live.

The album begins with a mellow atmospheric masterpiece and introduces us gently to the sonic voyage that's about to begin, with Adham Shaikh's - Ohm track. Don't be confused with the name of the track, as it means inner resistance but it needs no resistance to drift away to a typical Samothraki Chill Stage morning, watching the sun rays making their way through the tree leaves. The second track, defines the dub oriented direction of the journey, with Solar Quest's – Tolker's dream (Samothraki Remix). A track that melts traditional Indian sitar with modern electronica dubed out baselines. Next track, is Zen Lemonade's – Lotus Eaters, taking the journey from the duby vibe to a triped out dub tune that sets standards for clean productions and also adds a tech and fresh perspective to alternative dub. The follow up, is a tribute to Samothraki's chill stage and Patchwork's – Samothraki sets the bpm bar higher and takes the sonic voyage to a more tribalistic groovy direction. Adham Shaikh's – Somptin Happnin remix is the funkiest and most uplifting version of a tune that's well known to fans worldwide. Mauxuam and his track A lot of sound, gives us a much more psychedelic perspective and its an amazing track that has been conceived by Mau on his journeys between India and South Africa. Legion Of Green Men are next and this time they are remixed by Adham Shaikh. The constellation remix was one of the summer hits in the Chill out stage. Next one comes Grey Area and his unique Time is the fire masterpiece, that brings down the listener and gives him a chance for a deep breath, while maintaining the uptempo chilled approach. And to finish things off, comes Ishq's epic Anhk (Samothraki Remix) track, that brings the journey back to earth and then takes you on an Eastern sonic voyage when you are least expecting it. Electronic Soundscapes Records is a label that will represent the Samothraki Festival's Chill Stage "open air" sound and aims to release global psychedelically undefined chill music of the finest quality
