Glad to release this new single “Cat’s Meow” we made through a very specific workflow with bro @wild_mofo at the beginning of 2021. Indeed, as Wild is currently based in Sweden and myself in Paris, we fully composed this one using VST Connect Performer from Steinberg and it actually worked pretty well

Alcynoos & Wild Mofo - Cat's Meow

Mindfulness is derived from Buddhist art as an act of meditation and accepting others, and has gained worldwide popularity as a distinctive method to handle emotions. A Sol Mechanic has the slow, nuanced beats that parallel Handbook’s tracks, while Handbook’s unpredictably swift beats pulse in unison to A Sol Mechanic’s nostalgic flow. This EP will bring variety and a tranquil sound to its audience in a sensational, attentive way.

A Sol Mechanic’s contributions in this EP, named “All Along” and “Elevate”, alongside Handbook’s releases, “Goldmines” and “Only just Met”, are proud - they truly allow the emotions to flow within the balance of pitch and rhythm. Enraptured, dreamy and enchanted, mixed with a sorrowful grieving, this is an EP for the listeners to relate to within their own practice of mindfulness.

Italdred’s elemental artists work to bring you musical loops, while remaining loyal to its sound played, with a wide variety of timbres and dynamics. The latter may still be an element of linear ordering within synth, looping and guitar that leave your mind high.

Here’s a few words from the artists…

A Sol Mechanic - "The first time I heard Handbook and his original style I knew there was potential for a major collab between us. Being a big fan of his work and having crossed paths with him through various collectives, it seemed inevitable that we'd link up to create a collection we truly believe in. When Rob proposed a collaboration EP to be released on Italdred with Handbook himself, I jumped at the opportunity and am very grateful for doing so. "Mindfulness" explores our deep understanding of each other's creative inspiration and how we can create a profound landscape through collaborative thought."

Handbook - "A Sol Mechanic had been on my radar for some time and over the years I began hearing a lot about his development as a producer. I tuned into his music earlier this year and was blown away. Rob, at Italdred, reached out to me asking if I wanted to work on a split EP with ASM and I didn’t need to think too hard about it.

Alongside ASM, I wanted to create something powerful, but relaxing. Something that would leave an impact but wasn’t a chore to listen to. Something with an obvious feeling, but left the listener wanting to listen again and pick up on some of the more subtle aspects of the tracks. Something that left the listener respecting the craft of what was playing and enjoying what was going on. I feel that Mindfulness encapsulates that."



Handbook - Only Just Met

This one got scrapped from my "AU REVOIR" project for some reason...

When we first got a hold of Invention last year, his music sent shivers down our spines. 

His unique mastering, amazing nature samples, and chord/synth work will leave you breathless. 

In other words, his music is beautiful.

We bring you a freebie from the man himself.

"Treəts" is sure to leave you wanting more.

invention - Treəts

[歌詞]
街の音が遠く感じる  
空っぽのカフェ 窓越しの空  
Routine keeps spinning like a wheel  
だけどどこか心が still  

I try to find the rhythm again  
息を吸って 吐き出す pain  
Every step I fake, I feel  
この場所に意味はあるの？  

Restart my heart, I’m searching for light  
眠れない夜を越えて  
重ねたときの中  
Still I rise, still I try  

コンビニの灯りで滲む  
思い出たち 曖昧な truth  
Nothing's clear but I keep on  
誰かの声が背中を押す  

見えなくても  
わかるときがある  
答えじゃなくて  
今を生きる  

Tick tick  
時間（とき）は問わずに過ぎていく  
But I’m still here  
記憶の中に、まだ私がいる  

Restart my heart, I’m chasing the light  
朝焼けに滲む決意
心に咲く名前のない  
flower that won’t say goodbye  
 
深夜2時の交差点 
止まったままの traffic light  
でも somewhere in my chest  
わずかに響く future beat  

Restart my heart, I’m living the light  
闇に慣れたこの目でも  
見える気がしてきた  
a way, a way to fly  

(restart it now)  
(心が光る)  
(fly again)  
目を閉じて feel it

When I first met @oxelaman111 we nerded out about each other's sounds for a good 20 min. We then quickly began to work on a project together which we called "springtime in prague." one of the main things we loved about instrumental hip hop was that it can transport you to somewhere else and can truly be the soundtrack to your life. 

now 9 months later we release the 2nd installment of our joint efforts. we lovingly present to you "winter in kyoto" an lp. we hope this takes you exactly where you want to go. 

so fucking thankful to everyone that listens. so much love.
