Continuing the theme of community collaboration sparked by Hodge and Simo Cell’s recent 12”, Livity Sound presents the first joint works by Azu Tiwaline and Al Wootton. While they come from distinct settings (Azu in the Tunisian desert, Al in London’s urban sprawl), their music shares a similar affinity for intricate percussion and dub-informed space.
The four tracks on LIVITY052 deal in a variety of rhythms and tempos, veering from the propulsive intensity of ‘Blue Dub’ to the sparse, skipping 2-step framework of ‘Light Transmission’. Azu and Al’s refined, detailed approach blurs the lines between electronic sound design and earthy sonics, resulting in dynamic drum tracks loaded with weighty atmospherics and unrelenting tension.

Making up for lost time we are back with another Redstone Press debut in the form of Henry Greenleaf.

After Liam Robertson’s Village of Killin release we were on a collision course with Henry, both parties reached out to one another simultaneously in hopes of working together and here we are! Henry spent a lot of time in the Lake District prior to and during the beginning of the pandemic and this release is the fruit beared from that period! Full of tense space and creative freedom, Kirkstone EP is Henry’s finest work to date (in our biased and arrogant opinion) and highlights his ever-upwards trajectory.

The EP’s namesake boots down the door with his instantly recognisable drum work and intricate synth lines, simply put Kirkstone is a club killer! The A2 “Headache District” is a more spacious affair, awash with ambient sweeps that, when paired with his intricate booming kicks, creates a subtle groove that belies the driving force behind the track.

On the flip “Put By” swaps sweeping synths for metallic abrasion and a building tension that dissolves into unsteady piercing stabs and crumbling basslines. Henry expertly stiches together elements that on paper shouldn’t work, into a masterfully deep and ominous 5 minutes. Closing out the EP is “Group Translate”, a symphony of cascading sounds that ramp up the pace and force you into taking notice! This hammer of a track sounds like something you’d hear as you pass through a blackhole in space, on eccies.

2002-2022, that’s 20 years of Pingipung! The German record label 
celebrates its anniversary with exclusive tracks by a fine selection 
of artists from the label roster as well as new names. Instead of 
looking back at the classics, Pingipung chose to compile a 
kaleidoscopic preview of possible future directions for the label. 
The line-up features playfully melancholic songs by Museum Of No 
Art, Peter Power or The Notwist, an excursion to the desert by RVDS 
or a psychedelic take on Dub in Tolouse Low Trax’ remix for the Ainu 
singer Umeko Ando. Artists such as Anadol, Y Bülbül, MD Pallavi & 
Andi Otto, M.RUX, Sven Kacirek, Schlammpeitziger, Peter Presto and 
F.S.Blumm are already well known to the Pingipung audience. They 
contribute exclusive new tracks, adding to their existing output on 
the label. 
It’s impossible to file this compilation under a genre, which is 
exactly the case with Pingipung in general - bull’s eye. The 
collection of tracks is pressed in the perfect format to match the 
Pingipung jubilee: A 2x10’’ vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

M.RUX - Riche  (Pingipung 075)

Egyptian artist Hassan Abou Alam delivers the 4-track EP Ice, glistening with unusual textures that glide through several soundscapes spanning techno, breaks, bass and unclassifiable noise.

Things get spooky on ‘Hollow In C#’ as Hassan pairs a reverb-heavy vocal with chugging drums and eerie pads, echoing his mental and physical state during quarantine last year. Freaky but fierce.

Hassan Abou Alam has spent the last decade exploring disparate sound palettes and genres, from breaks to techno to bass. Today, his curiosity is unwavering. Hassan produces music using a hybrid setup of analog and digital instruments, conveying organised but compelling chaos that’s won him legions of fans worldwide.

PREMIERE: Hassan Abou Alam - Hollow in C# [Nehza Records]

We are gathered here today to commemorate in song the life of a great legend, the one and only Pingipung Records. 

For many years now, Tepeme has been amazed and inspired by the Hamburg label, release after release we get extreme curation quality, eclectic nature and outstanding artworks. It's beautiful that no matter the genres of their more than 70 (!) releases, we say "that's Pingipung"; few labels accomplish that in our eyes.

So, it is with such pleasure and honor to host one of the tracks pertaining their 20th Anniversary release: RVDS from Hamburg delivers a joyful desert ride with a psychedelic cabaret-like twist. Perfect to let imagination take over.

Sit back, relax and enjoy your uniquely-aged beverage.  It's Pingipung's birthday! Feliz cumpleaños, amores.
