'The title of the newest release of FOR. suggests that our contemporary collective fantasies are trapped in an imaginary vacuum space, or closed-circuit in which the possibility of any alternative looks immeasurably distant. In that sense, the raised fist of a disembodied protagonist by Vera Romhány on the cover of the mini-album is an unequivocal call for a unified protest against the void of our futureless present. But the recent EP of Ábris Gryllus and Miklós Farkas is not only a symbolic gesture of such agitation but also a comprehensive summary of their long-term music collaboration. Ever since their early releases, FOR. functions as a FORum of their shared interests in techno-dystopian sonic worlds and brutalist sci-fi visions evoking various technologically advanced, machine-dominated future scenarios that, by the time, increasingly resemble our contemporary reality. 

The carefully designed sound effects of the new tracks, often inducing sharp noises of some nanotech devices or dismantled futuristic weapons, are almost always counterpointed with harsher sound textures, bold basses, and asymmetric rhythm structures. Accordingly, the recent EP Vacuum also aims to embrace various topics, such as politically engaged movements and militant aesthetics, monotonous labor and dehumanization, neo-industrial corporations, and virtual frontiers of future geographies that have yet to be drawn.'

PREMIERE CDL \\ FOR. - Május 1. (S Olbricht Remix)[EXILES] (2021)

Youtube

It is with great pleasure that Slow Dance can announce Polish born singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist Aga Ujma’s debut EP: Songs of Innocence and Experience. Aga Ujma is a captivating individual, both her music and personality brim with a childlike openness but also a hint of a fairytale darkness beneath the autumnal warmth.
 
Her sound follows the contemporary folk cannon of Bjork, Múm, Eivør, CocoRosie and Current 93, blending traditional folk with minimal avant-garde production methods and Eastern instrumentation. Her glacial vocals, underpinned by the delicate plucking of an Indonesian sasando and golden passages of gender barung, make her EP a beautiful homage to two very different places that are close to her heart. 
 
Song of Innocence and Experience, is named after a William Blake set of illustrated poems. Aga has a love of poetry and literature that can be felt in her lyrics. nosze, the middle track on the EP, is a Polish translation of an E.E Cummings poem that Aga says she always finds herself returning to because of its theme of ‘carrying love in your heart across spatial boundaries’. 
 
Opener, great expectations, begins with Aga’s trademark whispered vocals and sounds like a mythological siren call. In The Ocean, originally released as part of the yearly Slow Dance compilation, is a ‘delicately textured’ (The Quietus) track that combines her soothing vocals with syncopated rhythms and abrupt changes in tone performed on her other instrument of choice, a gendèr, which is a Gamelan instrument used in Balinese and Javanese traditional music. It is paired with a music video by an experimental animation Polish artist Gabriela Sibilska based in New York.
 
Lead single night echoes Vashti Bunyan via Aldous Harding, featuring a gentle sasando melody and an addictive hushed chorus with a hushed choreographed video here. In contrast, the last track, what to write about, is ‘the most raw’ and ‘unfiltered’. The repeated glissando noise is striking, serving to capture raw attention instantly. 
 
Aga was born in a sleepy town in the South West of Poland, to parents who were ‘quite conservative but open-minded and extremely loving at the same time’ - a duality reflected in her music. From an early age Aga had rebellious musician inclinations. When she was eight, she applied to study classical piano at the local music school without telling her parents. 
 
While studying musicology in Wroclaw, she heard Gamelan music for the first time. Something about it resonated with Aga, who says she felt ‘angry’ with her teachers that she’d never heard it before. The strong Western bias in music school combined with her fascination with the unfamiliar sound of Gamelan music led her to apply for a scholarship at the Indonesian Institute of Arts in Surakarta. 
 
It was here that she first saw Indonesian music played live, an experience she describes as captivating. There was a strong experimental music scene surrounding the University, and every night Aga would go to gigs where musicians would play with a sense of freedom she had never seen before. Part of this was the construction of their own instruments, something we have seen from Indonesian experimental bands like Senyawa.
 
Aga credits to Indonesia the experimental aspect of her music, which manifests itself on the EP in playful song structures and surprisingly placed glissandos. What stuck with Aga most about Indonesian musicians was their willingness to reinvent traditional music and do ‘crazy’ things with it. This kind of modernity, she says, is not possible with traditional Polish folk music. In Poland, folk music has such a revered status that to play around with it too much is considered offensive. This experimental approach to traditional folk, blending cultures together in a delicate arrangement makes Aga’s music a one of a kind insight into the childlike curiosity of musical exploration.

This is a Polish mixtape inspired by Chicago's electronic music scene.

The mixtape was made to highlight the recent European Chicago Footwork dancers meet-up in Berlin, Germany even more special.

Poland has prominent Footwork producers, so this mixtape was an opportunity to hear the sounds of both older and newer faces in this stylistics. For some newer producers, that was a first time to produce a Footwork inspired track! Many of the producers created their track within a month. Only one unreleased older song is by Polish Juke member in Poland, Bennelux.

Many people has put their attention into this initiative and they deserve a big thank you for making this happen:
deep appreciation to Bennelux, k:i:o:s:k, Jakub Lemiszewski, Praktyczna Pani, MFC MŁODY BÓG, Fopa, mask poison
Kelli, Sayuri, Madikoptah, Przybysz, Godysław, Malwinka, Polish Juke, Regime Brigade.
Berlin CF meeting members, all the great artist that tried to contribute but didn't make it

This project is done entirely for the passion to the music and all the possible money will be sent for a Chicago charity.

"Mountain Storm" to utwór z nadchodzącego albumu Uwdara - "Broken Planet".

Nakład limitowany 100 sztuk.

Info:

Uwdar (czyli 1/2 duetu ETNOBOTANIKA) prezentuje album Broken Planet. Wydawnictwo kasetowe oznaczone w naszym katalogu jako SPRK004 to coś absolutnie wyjątkowego. To co pierwsze rzuca się w oczy to sam wygląd kasety. Postanowiliśmy nieco zaszaleć i po raz pierwszy zrobiliśmy kasetę typu full print, a ponadto na dwóch stronach kasety znajdują się dwie różne grafiki w rożnych kolorach, które dzięki efektowi przezroczystości nakładają się na siebie. Do kasety dołączona jest także wkładka z czterema dwustronnymi panelami wypełnionymi zdjęciami, które przedstawiają inspiracje dla tego albumu. Projekt kasety w oldschoolowym stylu współgra z muzyką, która nawiązuje do złotych czasów breakbeatu, jungle i trip-hopu. Dobrze znanym breakom towarzyszą nostalgiczne, syntezatorowe melodie, za które tak polubiliśmy ETNOBOTANIKĘ i oczywiście sample. Jest tu sporo gitarowych wstawek umiejętnie wyciętych ze starych polskich punkowych kaset, ale też echa głosów z VHS (np. klasyczny dialog z Serpico, Beavis i Butt-head!) czy wycinki audio z gier komputerowych z epoki (Tony Hawk Pro Skater). Jeśli pamiętacie czasy pirackich płyt CD i kaset, gdy królowały albumy Prodigy i Westbama, jeśli godzinami giercowaliście we wspomnianego Tony'ego Hawka czy Wipeouta, to ta kaseta zapewni Wam niezły nostalgia trip! Rzecz jasna nie jest to tylko odtwarzanie tego co było kiedyś. Uwdar sięga po oryginalne breaki i przetwarza je na swój wyjątkowy sposób tak, że cały czas mają taneczny potencjał, ale albumu jako całości, między innymi dzięki licznym skitom, interludiom i zmianom tempa, świetnie słucha się w całości. Z tego wszystkiego wyłania się coś jeszcze - opowieść o "Połamanej Planecie". Czy to komentarz do czasów, w których żyjemy lub kondycji nas wszystkich jako ludzkości? Przekonajcie się sami!

ENG:

Uwdar (that is 1/2 of ETNOBOTANIKA duo) presents Broken Planet album. The cassette release marked in our catalog as SPRK004 is something absolutely unique. What strikes at first sight is the very look of the cassette. We decided to go a little crazy and for the first time we made a full print cassette, moreover on two sides of the cassette there are two different graphics in different colors, which thanks to the transparency effect are superimposed on each other. The cassette also comes with an insert with four double-sided panels filled with photos that represent the inspiration for this album. The cassette's old-school design works in tandem with the music, which harkens back to the golden days of breakbeat, jungle and trip-hop. Well-known breaks are accompanied by nostalgic, synth melodies for which we liked ETNOBOTANICA so much and, of course, samples. There are a lot of guitar interludes skilfully cut from old Polish punk tapes, but also echoes of voices from VHS (e.g. a classic dialogue from Serpico, Beavis and Butt-head!) or audio clips from computer games of the era (Tony Hawk Pro Skater). If you remember the times of pirate CDs and cassettes, when Prodigy and Westbama albums reigned supreme, if you spent hours playing the aforementioned Tony Hawk or Wipeout, this cassette will give you a nice nostalgia trip! Of course this is not just a recreation of what used to be. Uwdar takes the original breaks and transforms them in his own unique way so that they still have dance potential, but the album as a whole, thanks to numerous skits, interludes and tempo changes, among other things, is a great listen. Something else emerges from all this - the story of "Broken Planet". Is it a commentary to the times we live in or the condition of all of us as humanity? See for yourself!

BUY VINYL: https://shcuro.bandcamp.com/album/particle-of-memory
Shcuro @shcuro is the alias of João Ervedosa a DJ, producer and graphic designer based in Lisbon. He also runs the record labels Sombra and Paraíso,  makes music as Jose Acid and hosts a show on Rádio Quântica. His first contact with a DJ setup happened at age 15, and that’s when Shcuro decided to buy his own turntables and mixer; and started producing his own beats, too. He’s since released music on Basal, Circus Maximus, Obscuur Techno, Golden Mist Records and his most recent collaboration with Photonz for Future Déjà Vu.
‘Particle of Memory’ is a hypnotic 6-track EP that explores new territories in contemporary dance music. Sonically Shcuro paints his sounds blending moody techno with industrial noises alongside fast, apocalyptic electro and breakbeat. He is influenced by Portuguese rave culture that was born in the mid-90s at Lisbon clubs Alcântara-Mar and Kremlin and the country’s first electronic label Kaos Records. Shcuro continues to expand and morph this rich dance heritage to create something entirely different. The bouncy, lead track “Afterlife” features vocals and lyrics by London's ELLES followed by a Decadent Dub rework. All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. Housed in a die-cut jacket designed by Eloise Leigh reminiscent of ‘90s escape/sci-fi films with futuristic bright pink pop flourishes.
