Name: Lesinge - Une Verte Deux Blanches by Acid Waxa in Tentacle Loot (Music I wrote about)
Duration: 5 min 25 s
Description: Taken from the new album PLIC PLOC (ACIWAX33) Mastered by Stephen Bishop with artwork from Sam Tomson

A selection of tracks I wrote about in my Octoblog. Because when we as musicians think about networking, we should think about appreciation and support. And because my own music is created from many tiny samples of already existing music, I am naturally very interested in the fact that all this wonderful music flowing through the ether out there finds the light of attention.

SPF 50, real name Stephan Kimbel Olson, is a resident of the longstanding Bob & Shirley party, runs the Professional Music label, and has graced New York’s finest sound systems with his deep, rolling club sets. In his numerous roles - DJ, engineer, party promoter, label head, producer and dancer - Stephan has become an essential contributor to the city's nightlife culture, a fixture in our extended sonic community.

Stephan's first release on Bliss Point, Social Life, might well be a transmission from a nearby dimension; a collection of club artifacts peaking from just behind the thin veil. On Side A, Stephan has channeled two booming workouts, each with modular synthesis evoking the organic: an unruly bassline snakes through the aural fauna of "Body Concept", while breaks and acid fly by on "Liquid USB", an intricate sonic constellation propelling through space, culminating in the release of classic house chords midway.

On the B side, Stephan takes us further into the unknown. "Grove Map" is world-building club ambiance aptly named after The Grove, a stage deep in the woods at New York's Sustain-Release festival, where portals have long known to be opened. "Iris (Bad Water Version)”, rounds out the offering, a drippy dub that time seems to slip off of, perfect for a melted warm up or come down.

Bliss Point is proud to present Social Life, an offering for those familiar with the power of the deep, as SPF 50 is.

The second entry on Dance Data is the debut album by Izapa, also known as Andrew Felix. 
Izapa has been a fixture in LA’s modular synth community for some time now, so it’s a treat to get a glimpse into the sounds he’s been honing in his private world. 
The record showcases his sensibilities for a wide variety of rhythmic structures / styles, from angular hi-tek drum n bass to half time electro zoners, there is a little something for anyone that’s looking for dance music that prioritizes feel over function (while still retaining the latter). Featuring a swirling acidic remix from Buttechno.

Open Culture: No Borders is a campaign demonstrating solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers, as an ongoing response to the UK government’s ‘Hostile Environment Policy’. The policy has involved a slew of regressive legislations, intended to create a deliberately challenging environment for migrants to settle. In the process, we are seeing cruel approaches to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the use of provocative language intended to create division and the adaption of laws which offer protection of human rights for all.

Proceeds go to Safe Passage International, who support unaccompanied children seeking asylum to reunite safely with their families across Europe, and campaign for more accessible, safer routes.

All people have the right to a happy and fulfilling life. At a time when hostile narratives and actions seek to divide us, we believe that empathy, compassion, and connection are essential values to strengthen.

Lesinge - Une Verte Deux Blanches

"Ah, cassette #4-- a split release by two very dear NYC friends whom I've known for years via my involvement with the International Winners Collective. Each side is a single piece of music, each being distinctly different.

Side A is a solo piece for grand piano by Gabe Raines' Suncastle project. Historically, Gabe's work involves immersive, sitting performances centered around sublime drones with trance-inducing visuals and lights. It came as a much-welcomed surprise when I went to see Gabe perform at the Park Church Co-Op in the Winter of 2019. He enlisted the help of a large orchestra/ensemble for a performance of two new works. The piece on this tape, "Tonal Rainstorm", was the first of the two-- serene and percussive, with a very dynamic trajectory."

Octobird is a Pro-Jockey, Discjuicer and Music Lover born and based in Berlin, Germany. Someone who’s not necessarily looking for yet unknown sounds in electronic music rather than putting already archived sounds of a long-forgotten future into a new context. Trying to blur your brain’s reception of connotation and curiosity.

Working with sound fragments from old vinyl recordings and films is certainly not a completely new approach, but Octobird archieved to develop his own language from this heritage of Hip Hop and House Music. Strongly modulated microsamples, a handful of drum computers and hardware synths, and jams as raw as possible glue his musical output together.
