marsattacks Not a dull moment on this musical journey! I really admire what was done on this album, keep up the good work. Favorite track: Revert.

jmandodge87 I think this is one of my favorite purchases so far this year, the songs are an absolute treat to listen to and relax to. I listen to this album on the daily as my work decompression, and my kids now ask for "the cool dance music" when I come home. Thank you for re-visiting your dream, I am happy to help support you along the way! Favorite track: Aurorean.

boogle Holy smokes, new favorite chillwave album Favorite track: Skysix.

Audio Mainline Perfect blend of retro sounding rhythms and synths with modern pulsing production. Funky and yet atmospheric at the same time. Uplifting vibes - pushed to choose a favourite as the whole album flows so coherently - but the subtle vocal additions of ‘Holding On’ work so well… Favorite track: Holding On.

about

Late in 2019 I had a choice of continuing down my chosen career path of engineering or trying to achieve what was always my passion, making music as a living. I decided I would try to make and release music and commit myself to it fully, either until being forced back into my previous career due to failure, or making some progress towards the dream and enjoying it as long as I possible.

“Contraflow Continuum” is, for me, the highlight of that decision. It’s named as such because I have always felt that I was/am going against what the natural flow of the life I was living and, I am somewhere along that path/continuum, exactly where I do not know.

Since I started releasing music I have met so many amazing people, all almost exclusively remotely/online and I have made some real friends in the process, many of which are amazing artists and who I look up to greatly. I have been privileged to receive some beautiful messages from listeners who have enjoyed my music and shared how it has helped them in one way or another and because of that I have never been more happy or proud of any work I have done to date.

Thanks so much to all the listeners, to Stratford Ct., and to all the community who have helped me get to this point. It’s a small world but sometimes it can feel like a huge and empty space and without you all it could easily feel that way. I hope you enjoy the music.

Written, produced, mixed, and mastered by NiElsir.

about

NiElsir Cork, Ireland

NiElsir / Niall Mulcahy.

I started producing music when I was 14 (2004) but as I got older life got busier and took over my passion.

So In 2019, I used some savings to take time off work and focus 100% on making music - to try to follow my dream again.

If you check out my music, thank you so much! ... more

Finally got this album with another repress. You can always tell a Hotel Pools song from the vibe it provides. Yet each album is different, possible sticking to a theme, creating that unique vibe but allowing for the listener to pick out when it's a Hotel Pools track. Could listen to this over and over, Hydro is fantastic, but the rest are just as good. Keep repressing...keep repressing.... Sheepadoodling
