Grüezi gorgeous!

There’s just something about stringed instruments that touches our shaken souls, embraces them, lifts them up and tosses them around until we lose track of time and space. Some people experiment with psychedelics to reach that effect, you really just need ears though. Not to say they won’t subsidize, but that’s a matter for another time.

Put those strings into context, give them space to breathe, support them with a rhythmic backbone, throw in a metaphorical surfboard and they will call themselves “ali dada”.
The swiss/intergalactic formation consisting of Orlando Ludens, mfjaeger and Max Licht join our little trip sitting outlet with their soothing “empa nada” EP.

Reminiscent of surf rock and shoegaze from the golden days, taken into the future with some modular goodness and further musical machinery, the trio delivers four timeless pieces of cosmic proportions. Nothing seems rigid here, rules don’t apply, a sense of improvisation hangs in the room, even after the last bar fades. Music for melting into your couch, or getting your first sunburn of the season, as well as putting another log into the fireplace.
Timeless, as I mentioned earlier.

And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve added four ingenious takes on those originals, ranging from even dubbier shores right onto the dancefloors. The bands own mfj goes first with a mind bending extension of “lauf”, handing the torch over to beat breaking Chewlie who deconstructed “empa nada”, followed by a weird house take on “sofaul” from our dearest Fereinwonung Koratien, who contributed the wildly trippy artwork as well, finished off with a definite stomper twist of “late” by IroniMo who wouldn’t take any chances.

Ten artists, eight songs, one task left for you: Press play and get washed away.

Forever yours,

D r o sss e l

The Throw (Dreems Sounds Of The Universe Remix)

ISTILLFEELIT reveals Burn Into Night, a new track with a downcast feel that distends to a beaming, head-nodding pulse. Inspired by Dylan Thomas’ poem, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. 

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light…

“After watching Interstellar, the repeating lines from Dylan Thomas’ poem really stuck with me and drove the song into being.” - ISTILLFEELIT

ISTILLFEELIT - Burn Into Night

Sauna
Recorded inside a wood-fired sauna in Nalovardo, after a wonderful day on the mountain top — a calm autumn day when the raw evening air whispered of the cold soon to come.
Each splash of water on the stones turned into steam and rhythm, echoing the contrast between warmth and frost.
A sonic ritual where nature, body, and sound melt together — pure Phuse energy, organic and alive.

Ready for a dreamy journey into the UCR sound? If so, here comes a special occasion to let your mind fly on the vibes of our ‘Sonorities’. Our latest compilation features some of our old and new friends which joined the mission to trespass geographical and cultural borders, and to create a multifaceted community united in the common love for music. Our ‘Sonorities’ travel slow, but they travel far. Organic and joyful sounds reminding of Latin America and of their native people are flanked on the one side by instruments and motives coming from the East, on the other side there are urban trippy rhythms. Ecstatic dancing beats travel alongside ethereal and mesmerizing melodies. Such diversity is not only meant to present the variety of sounds which these great artists can exhibit, but also to represent the diversities among human beings which are here united in one heterogeneous and harmonious complex, as it’s the world we envision - a whole symbiotical organism...

It Hurts

It Hurts (Tone Depth Radio Edit) [feat. Jo Wedin]

Management: terry@turbomgmt.co.uk
Bookings: laetitia@decked-out.co.uk

With hardcore support from Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Gerd Janson, Tiga and The Blessed Madonna, who correctly noted that he has “the hardest working hair in show business,” ABSOLUTE. has raised himself above the rabble of contemporary dance music with stone-cold hits “Follow ur <3’,”Ride”, “Don’t Ya Want it’, “Papi’s Pumping Piano” and an official remix of Kylie’s anthem-of-the-decade ‘Padam Padam’ that will ensure free Fuji water in his green room for the rest of his life. As the London-based DJ/producer is a virtual lock to earn the kind of clout that will allow him to scrub the internet of all biographical detail, it seems wise to revisit his early days and career-to-date while we still can. 

As a child, ABSOLUTE. was enthralled by dance music, to the extent that he took the money his father had given him to buy clothes and spent it on a single turntable. While initially furious, once his dad heard the music, he calmed down and said, “Son, that is a low-slung floor-filler, and I have no choice but to respect it.” Later, ABSOLUTE. honed his DJing skills by using the lone deck to beat-match to Pete Tong’s BBC Radio show, a fact that will take on eerie significance if you read this bio backwards. 

A teenage ABSOLUTE. found his chosen family among club kids and drag queens in East London queer spaces, eventually going on to promote and curate spaces like these himself. "For whatever reason, the people in the queer scene hadn’t found liberation in pub trivia nights held at Wetherspoons breeding pits," he says. “So they had to create their own world instead. At this point, my politics are actually less progressive than the British Airways twitter account, so things seem to be moving in the right direction."

These experiences led to ABSOLUTE. to notice that queer spaces are largely dependent on the viability of human existence. As such, his nascent activist streak led him to sample climate icon Greta Thunberg on the track “Rave Against the Machine”, despite the fact that the 40-and-over conservatives who regularly challenge Thunberg to debate and/or wrestle on social media make up a huge part of the acid house market. The track led to a collaboration with the Extinction Rebellion collective, for whom ABSOLUTE. curated the “Rave Against the Machine” queer stage at the activists’ event in London. Unfortunately, the stage was promptly shut down by police. While many of the cops had no opinion on the political message, they were reportedly pissed that the event was overshadowing an after-hours the local station had been promoting.

To the extent that there is a habitable future for anyone at all, ABSOLUTE.’s is looking bright. With official remixes for icons Fever Ray and Tony De Vit, and a mass of original music including EPs on Shall Not Fade, DJ Haus’ Hot Haus, New York Queer stalwart Chrissy’s new label Maximum Airtime, a Radio 1 Essential Mix live from Glastonbury and named 6Music ‘Mix of the Year’ by The Blessed Madonna and a recently completed fourth U.S. tour. “Whether my music helps inspire the advance of cold fusion technology or I end up DJing the Emerging Artists Stage of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, I’m going to keep bringing the same BIG NEON ENERGY intensity to everything I do. 

So the next time someone tells you there’s no absolutes, give them a knowing grin and say, 'There’s just one, honey. Just one.’"
