The mighty Flug 8 returns to Ransom Note Records with his incredible new album, Bermuda LP, for another solo mission into deep space. His first new music on Ransom Note Records since the 2020 LP, Electric Fields, Fluggy (aka Daniel Herrmann) treats us to nine new etherial moonscapes, that twinkle and pulse like the northern lights themselves. There is no sound in space but, if there was, we’re preGy sure it’d sound something like this!

The zero gravity feel of first single, Raifufku Maru, transports us beyond the asteroid belt with it’s atonal bleeps and mechanical sounds. The noise soon gives way to some truly epic, histrionic synth chords though, putting the listener into stasis, stuck motionless in spacetime as the music wash over our corporeal bodies.

Bermuda LP

Flug 8 - Raifuku Maru [R$N38S1]

Artist: Tambores En Benirras
Track: Molokono
Label:  Tambores En Benirras
Format: Digital, LP
Release date: 29/9/23
YouTube: https://youtu.be/sE37jvfKWqA


A month after the release of his debut album as Tambores En Benirras, 2021’s fabulous Orbe Dotodo, Graham Newby’s life changed forever. After years living with a visual impairment, his sight had deteriorated so much that he was declared “registered blind”. For a man who had spent decades dividing his time between travelling, DJing, running clubs and lengthy sessions in his own studio, it was a genuinely life-changing moment.
It was against this backdrop, and the need to alter his working methods, that Ondas Horizontales, the second Tambores En Benirras album took shape. Inspired by a mixture of daydreaming, visualisation, immersion in other people’s music (escapism that provided mood enhancement, rather than a specific set of ideas) and long periods spent soaking up the sun in Ibiza, the album is the most vividly detailed, sonically colourful, and sun-soaked collection that Newby has released to date.
Newby’s declining sight forced him to stop spending long spells staring at a screen and undoubtedly slowed down the production process. Yet it also allowed him to reconnect with his emotions, appreciate the storytelling and mood-shifting potential of music, and mine mind’s eye memories of places and spaces that have meant much to him over the years.
The results are undeniably stunning. Designed with horizontal listening in mind, the set distils a range of musical and real-life inspirations –or, as he puts it, “ambient soundtracks, cosmic journeys, Balearic rhythms and poolside sessions” – into ten mesmerising and magical tracks; an undulating, slow-motion journey that’s as breath-taking as it is beguiling.
Newby sets the tone with ‘Mi Sueno Vibe En Reverb’, a swelling, slow-burn ambient masterpiece that tiptoes between hope and melancholia, before flitting between imaginary sunset soundtracks (‘Estrellas En Mastella’, where lilting pedal steel sounds, bubbling electronics and shuffling breakbeats catch the ear), kaleidoscopic sun-up beats (the gorgeous warmth of ‘Generadora De Reyos’), enveloping beatless soundscapes (‘Templos Del Sol’, a drowsy drift in becalmed waters under the heat of the mid-afternoon sun), and dubby, loved-up lusciousness (‘Mokono’).
As the album progresses, bobbing and weaving on an ocean of vibrant chords, pulsing melodies and heart-stopping melodies, there’s no sign of Newby’s inspiration waving. ‘Alma Hablando’ channels the spirit of mid-80s ‘worldbeat’ and douses it in layers of Balearic bliss, while ‘Extrensor Entragado’ recalls the head-nodding haziness of his best Gripper productions of old while combining them with the musical equivalent of a humid summer breeze. Then there’s the mood-enhancing joy of the album’s superb title track –a mission statement of sorts – and the life-affirming post trip-hop/Balearic fusion of ‘Un Placer Celestial (Reprise)’, where the influence of his old friend Aim is clearly evident.
A serious sonic step-up from its predecessor and a future Balearic classic in its’ own right, Ondas Horizontales marks the start of a new musical and personal journey for its creator. It is, in his words, not the end of an era, but the start of a new one.

Ondas Horizontales

PREMIERE | Tambores En Benirras - Molokono [Tambores En Benirras] 2023

Hailing from Saint Brieuc, France, Estuary Tapes kicks off its story by bringing to life a bold eleven-track compilation. On board: Tabensi, Théo Muller, and Transe Ar Gwez, the guides of the journey, plus Los Pashminas, A-Tweed (SXDNS222), Oltrefuturo, Kendu Bari, Shjva, XCI, Isabel Del Bosco, and Orphic – a true constellation of young and talented producers from various corners of this unfair and doomed little planet of ours who spared no efforts to bring the best of their games for the compilation.

From dusk till dawn, from darkness to light, the release encompasses many a genre and aims nothing but to please the fans of high-quality underground electronic music out there.

Premiered here, the stunning closing theme of the VA comes from the mastermind of the creative Portuguese virtuoso XCI. Named after the Greek god of fire, who is best known for defying his Olympian counterparts by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge, and more generally civilization, “Prometheus” comes packed with a magnificent cosmic and starry aura, as if its mesmerising synth layers were paying a tribute to the beautiful sky of Athens in 3000 BCE.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://estuarytapes.bandcamp.com/

'Stella was my partner not only in life but also in Schaltkreis Wassermann. After she died in 2011, I have been struggling to find a new identity for Schaltkreis. Emotionally I couldn’t get myself working on the unreleased tracks I had been creating with Stella before she died. I started new songs and didn’t finish them. Only in 2018 I started releasing Schaltkreis music again with the EP "2600noise".
The new track "Restless Tonight" is one of those Schaltkreis songs that had been lying around for years, never completely finished but too good to just forget them. Now I have finally finished it. Hope you like it.
Here comes an EP with five different versions:
1. is the original 2023 mix but without the long intro.
2. is the same mix but with the long spacey intro.
3. is the "Sequencers only" mix. I love it. Check it out.
4. is the "Slowed and Reverb" version of 1. Slowed and Reverb is a current fashion that has its charm.
5. is a different mix of the same song that I did in 2019.
"Restless Tonight" is an energetic track, mostly played by old analog synthesizers, notably the ARP 2600 (the gnarly sequencer), the ARP Avatar (the second sequencer) and the Roland 100M system.
The chords are done with the fabulous Prophet 6 synth that is a replacement for my original Prophet V that is defective, unfortuantely.
Some of the floating sounds were done with a Roland SY-300 guitar synthesizer. I’ve always been fascinated by guitar synths and have spent way too much money on them. Nowadays I prefer analog amplifiers and effects pedals but I'm still fascinated by guitar synths - weird, no?' - PJ Wassermann

His debut EP for Omena is another fine example of his talent in brining influences from both house and broken beat with a healthy dose of soul. All four tracks on Find Love & Boogie are made by someone that clearly loves music.
