Ancient Mana Crypt & Remixes

A metamorphosis of the forgotten, reminiscent of deeply supplanted emotions.
Almost stagnant transformations from roughly textured surfaces into silky exteriors.
Indistinct laments of discomforted creatures from strange rituals of remote civilizations.
Processed obscure chorals of nostalgia blending in with the twisting rhythms of animal life.
Fragrance of ancestral swamps, layers of mist bedimming the twilight, 
A nondestructive examination of jjjacob's vision.

Budget Cuts: Records & Tapes 2019 

“When we listen to the inner voice that calls us back to our bodies, back to wholeness, we begin our journey” - Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance. 

Budget Cuts: Records & Tapes is honored to present five tracks of pure bliss from Bogotá based artist Ronan (@ronan-music). Ronan, which translates to ‘A Little Seal’ in Gaelic, is the moniker of producer and artist Robin Lohrey. Lohrey was raised on San Juan Island in Washington and studied at the New England Conservatory of Music. After graduating, Lohrey moved to Ridgewood, Queens establishing himself as the creative director the Felt Presence studio space and and the technical director of the Groovy Groovy underground party series. After releasing projects on Vanity Press and Jungle Gym under his given name, Lohrey created a new musical vision and path with the founding of the Ronan moniker and the Eternal Ocean imprint with the release of the instant cult classic “Prolongez La Magie”. 

For his second release, Ronan offers an introspective 5 track EP. Recorded largely during a secluded summer spent living in a cabin in the woods on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State this selection of music spans a range of tempos and moods, creating its own unique narrative space somewhere along the hardcore continuum. This creative period marked an important transition in Ronan’s life and he found solace and meaning in the writings of psychologist and meditation teacher Tara Brach, who’s book Radical Acceptance shares the title of this EP. Her words of awakening from what she calls “The Trance of Fear” activated deep self reflection and inspired this work which represents a testament to the brave act of facing one’s self and to the joy found in accepting who we truly are.

Enter a world of post-IDM, ambient and reggaeton, with a progression of deep synths, reverb, and percussion whose rhythms are born from the southern hemisphere. This is the world of DJ Python, a.k.a. New York based producer Brian Piñeyro, who also sometimes goes by Dj Wey, Deejay Xanax, and Luis. Making his Dekmantel debut with an extended EP of contemporary electronica, fashioned in his cult unique style, Python brings his deep-reggaeton style to the Dutch imprint.

With his first LP Dulce Compañia released in 2017, Python extended his cult status in the electronic music sphere with motives of ambient, and tropicale, all the time keeping his music deeply rooted in classic underground dance music. Along with a Breaking Through feature on Resident Advisor, an almost legendary appearance on Boiler Room — in which he ignited the room in Santiago with bellowing reverbs —, extensive touring, and a residency at New York’s Nowadays (healthy programmed by the team behind Mister Saturday Night), Python has dutifully snaked his way in today’s cult artist category. Making his next step with this six-tracker on Dekmantel, Python aggrandises his prestigious drum sequencing, merging the world’s of drone-driven electronica, cerebral synths, and steely out-of-this-dimension-dancehall.

The EP’s pening track 'Lampara' snakes and twists, like a rugged 90s London broken-beat, electronic exploration, evoking nostalgic feelings a la Boards de Canada. The retro aesthetic flows through with second track 'Tímbrame', where the tropical reggaeton percussion floats through wafty, deep synth melodies and chimes, like a vibey, emotive, come-down, get-down, post-party dancefloor filler. 'Cuando' steps up a gear, as the digital percussive rhythms go into overdrive, while 'Espero' goes all Gaussian, by offering a transportive, meditative expression. 'Be Si To' pulses into full Phython territory, chops-and-cuts-and-slices across a sleuth of Warping, proto-drones. The record’s final track 'pq cq' is a singular question mark about darkness, feeling, and trans-dimensional thinking, as the track shifts in-between kicks that feel one and the same between past, present, and the dub.

Eaposting 4 deals about the hyperconnection and globalization: "We live in a more and more globalized and connected world that is progressively incorporating arts and cultures from different countries and different scenes. This hyperconnection brings many advantages, and one of these is unquestionably the unprecedented simplicity with which art can be shared and can cross geographical borders. On the other hand, it’s getting easier to lose trace of smaller realities with the risk of disregarding their value. The aim of the compilation is to give producers the chance of expressing the culture of their own country, or a country that they feel connected to, reinterpreting it under a modern light and their own musical style in order to highlight different local realities.”

The concept was portrayed in this amazing artwork by Marnie Hamilton from New Scenery featuring some old personal photographs seen through a modern viewfinder, enhancing the contrast between culture, tradition and history and modern society, and how the past can be reinterpreted in new unseen ways.

Emotional material manifests itself in many different forms. Sometimes it flows like a river, rolls like a wave or pours like rain. The fluidity of emotional experience makes sense as our bodies are mostly made up of water – life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

lyrics:
Free me clean me
Rinse my soul
Wash my body
Bring me to my poignant cleansing
Free me clean me
Free me clean me
My soul is damaged 
Can you heal my wounds

Free me from my self 
Free me from my pain
Free me from my darkest thoughts
My purest emotions are the best
Poignant cleansing
