Release: 3rd Feb (beatport/sportify), 17th Feb (rest) Config19

Alexander Church kicks off 2023 with a return to his thought-provoking Configurations of Self label, again calling upon vocalist Rebekah K to add an extra dimension.

This label has become a superb showcase of Church's sounds, whether solo or with frequent collaborator James Welsh. They are complex and challenging in the way they fuse all manner of electronic genres, but never fail to make an emotional connection. He has been exploring these worlds since the 90s under a range of aliases and always conveys deep thought in what he does from lush melodies to brutalist techno. Rebekah K has appeared in Church productions in the past, most recently with Configurations 17, and once again she adds some vital ingredients to these new cuts.

Exquisite eight-minute opener 'To Be Real' is a widescreen track with rich synths and meaningful chords over a deep rolling beat. The clean, soulful vocals from Rebekah K are given room to breathe and really resonate in this escapist track. 'All Gone' is trip-hop through a cosmic electronic lens, with lurching beats and glistening star-like synths accompanying the aching and angelic vocals of Rebekah K. It's another moving and absorbingly atmospheric piece. Closer 'Need You' rolls on deep drums that eventually bristle with metallic percussion and more astral synth work. As the groove drives on, Rebekah K's voice shivers in the airwaves above to bring that all-important human touch. All tracks also come as subtly paired back and dynamic dubs.

PREMIERE : Alexander Church Feat. Rebekah K - All Gone (Dub Mix)

Ah, sweet sweet summer sun. We better enjoy it all before it gets too unbearably hot, right? A good sunrise is even better when it happens across the sea and when the impending new day isn’t packed with work or other commitments - and this new Messy Mix is dedicated to that special feeling. To capture it I asked Leipzig-based DJ and music lover @giliii who I first met during a party of our mutual friends @stolenmoneyposse and whose sets I’ve been enjoying a lot since then.

However, I quickly noticed that Gili is not just about nice house bangers but has an eclectic musical taste. And the timing for my message to her couldn’t have been better as it collided with her trip to beautiful Sardinia and that elated feeling that you just get when you have just arrived in a beautiful place and know that you will stay there for the next few days. The result is a mixtape that is closely connected to her vacation experience and Gilis thinking and feeling there as she explains:

“With the mix, I wanted to capture the feeling of being in a place where really none of what matters at home should matter there. It's about letting go and yet taking it with you, about arriving and leaving, about being and engaging. The mix musically describes the journey from the slow awakening and getting up, from going out, from the first coffee, the first conversations, the first rays of sunshine, the first laughter, from then getting quite tired again - all in all from the wonderful first hour of a day on vacation in Sardinia.”

The smooth selection includes a few personal favourites like Kelela, Kadhja Bonet, Fatima Al Qadiri but also lots of artists I didn’t know so far like Yaya Bey  or Twit One. I always love to discover new stuff through these mixes and I hope you’ll do. But most of it I hope you’ll have a great time with this sensual soundtrack for the upcoming summer days. I surely will!

Messy Mix 07 | Awakening To The Sardinian Sun (by Gili)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/maracujamusique, https://soundcloud.com/intro-groove
Track: Portrait of a Soul on Fire 
Label: https://soundcloud.com/secretmusic-1
Format: Digital, LP
Release date: TBC

We are proud to present the first EP from Maracuja, a trio composed of Stephane Lefrancois, Sarkis Ricci and Elle Holgate who together have created an infectious and joyful blend of afro - beat, funk and jazz.
Stephane's blend of live percussion and electronic grooves are the perfect playground for Sarkis' bouncy bass lines, catchy hooks, and soloing escapades on the keys, finished off by Elle's intriguing and ethereal vocal poems. A musical tapestry of cinematic story-telling, Balearic lullabies, and sunshine-soaked jazzy landscapes.
Maracuja open the dance with Re-Percussions, a groovy instrumental with an uplifting vibe, the ideal appetizer for the following courses, a little warmup, if you will.
The title track, Portrait of a Soul on Fire, is a mesmerizing piece of lyricism. Afro drums, a growly bass line, and hauntingly sparse chords leave plenty of space for Elle to paint a picture of the archetypal artist’s journey; a combination of inspiration, bliss, blood sweat and tears, where colour, intertextuality and passion collide. Between spoken word and singing, she weaves her beguiling spell paying homage to the greats that came before.
With Chanel Blues, Maracuja pick up the pace and energy. The drums are frantic, jumpy, ever - driving. Sarkis' guitars, keyboards and bass provide an inspiring backdrop for an age-old tale of material possession at the expense of depth.
Bassoon goes back to a chilled out afro beat groove with a meandering bass line, rhodes and layers of floaty synths, punctuated by Sarkis' wurlitzer outbursts woven into melodic vocal hooks and a lighthearted ocean-view worthy poolside soundtrack.
The closing track, Goddess, is an ode to femininity in its all-encompassing creative and fertile energy. The decidedly afro-beat tinged drums and bass offer a solid foundation for Sarkis' beautiful theme and mischievous jazzy solos. Elle's tribute to feminine energy is heavily flavoured with inspiration for one of her favourite female artists; the unparalleled poetry of Ursula Rucker.
Maracuja are also lucky enough to be surrounded by many inspiring musicians, who offered their talents for remixing.
Rhythms of Prescott's rework of Bassoon is a floor filling, groovy, chunky monster of a track. The triplet, shuffle drum groove relentlessly drives the energy, while swirling pads, vocal cuts and chords turn this piece into a memorable party starter.
Rise Ashen's rub of Chanel Blues is a masterpiece of deconstructed revisiting. With his signature, driving grooves and arrangement, Rise completely flips the original version around, playfully highlighting Elle's and Sarkis' vocals, creating a captivating journey through some of the original's more hidden elements.
Finally, Gregorio's interpretation of Portrait of a Soul on Fire offers a balmy, ambient infused closure to the EP, jazzy hooks lulling the listener into an introspective, emotional finish. Floaty piano lines, upright bass and soft, surging pads create the ideal backdrop to showcase Elle's lyrics. There was no better way to close the curtain, for now, on this Maracuja feast.

700WET Live Excerpt (Dare You + Gimme Love) "My Friend calls it K-Jazz" @ Sameheads

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/mathias-schaffhauser
Track: 6 Uhr Morgens (Vocal Version)
Label: https://soundcloud.com/suleimanrecords
Format: Digital EP
Release date: 17/11/23
YouTube: https://youtu.be/tdMPX7Ng54s

Mathias Schaffhäuser returns to Suleiman with an indie dance release that has a deep tech groove, and alongside the original music, there is also an electro-tinged remix by Pawas.
A veteran of the German scene who has been releasing music since the '90s, Mathias Schaffhäuser is a Cologne-based DJ and producer. He boasts an impressive back catalogue of releases including music on record labels such as Kompakt, Souvenir Music and Third Ear Recordings. This is Mathias Schaffhäuser's second release on Canadian record label Suleiman, and along with his original track, he has also produced two alternative versions.
‘6 Uhr Morgens (Vocal Version)’ is a new arrangement of a classic song by Mathias Schaffhäuser, which was featured as an instrumental on his classic album from 1999 called Lido Hotel. The vocals are newly added to the updated version, and give it a revitalised sound with added psychedelia.
On remix duty, Pawas is an Indian artist living in Germany who is highly respected for his atmospheric style of deep house which incorporates elements of disco. He has released on labels such as Spectral Sound, Get Physical, Seven Villas and Compost.
"6 Uhr Morgens (Vocal Club Version)" opens the release, and its a moody cut with pulsating sub-bass and trippy synths that are overlayered with shuffling high-end percussion. It's got a psychedelic atmosphere that is characterised by a hazy vocal and hallucinogenic tempo switch in the midsection. The 'Vocal Version' is considered the original mix of the 2023 version, and it drops the tempo while also making more prominent use of the vocal. The 'Instrumental Version' removes the vocals to focus on the leftfield elements of the groove.
Pawas' remix of 6 Uhr Morgens adds a new chugging bassline and melody that compliments the original's vocals. It's a mesmerising version that lifts the energy without losing the original's vibe.

In the mystical realms of sound, where the vibrations of exotic melodies intertwine with the unseen, there exists a transcendent symphony known only to those who dare to explore the ethereal corridors of the mind. This esoteric composition, woven from the threads of tribalorientalism and bathed in the whispers from the Nirvakalpa, beckons the listener into a dimension where time dances in rhythmic undulations.

The notes, like veils of sound, reveal glimpses of hidden truths, inviting the curious soul to embark on a journey through the labyrinthine passages of consciousness. The melodies, inspired by the esoteric wisdom of distant lands, resonate with the mysticism of the East. Instruments, both familiar and otherworldly, come together in a cosmic dance, creating a tapestry of sound that defies conventional boundaries. The rhythm, like a heartbeat synchronized with the pulse of the universe, guides the listener through the shifting sands of perception.

In this auditory pilgrimage, the seeker becomes a voyager, navigating the spaces between notes and the silences that linger in the air. The exoticism of the music is a vessel, carrying the listener into the heart of a sacred sound ceremony, where the boundaries of the mundane are blurred, and the spirit is free to dance with the infinite.
