MIKROCORE & OUDEE - In altera vita

NORILSK

I was commissioned by yoga instructor Jessica Annand to craft two one-hour mixes for a yoga retreat taking place in July 2015 at Stewart Mineral Springs Retreat Center near Mt. Shasta, California. While I've played live during yoga sets before, this was the first time I'd created any in the studio. This is the first of the two. The word "Yitha" means "One" in the Karuk tribal language, indigenous to the region. There are gentle beats and expansive spaces in this mix, as per her request.

Mastered by David Sonoform. Tracklist:

1. Modcam - Sonic Zen (Album Mix)
2. Makyo - Soar Angelic
3. Samorost - You
4. Xerxes - Longyaard
5. The Sushi Club - Mujo
6. Union Jack - Water Drums
7. String Theories - White Dragon
8. Coppice Halifax - Greensea
9. Snakestyle (feat. Minnie Rogers) - A Rainy Night in London
10. Electricwest - Bruises
11. Keston & Westdal - Spring in December
12. Krusseldorf - Creation
13. Rhian Sheehan - Standing in Silence Pt. 4

Yitha

Welcome to the deep blue sea and TALES FROM THE BILGE.

All life on our blue planet came from the sea.  Scientists believe that over 4000 million years ago, a perfect soup of singled celled organisms was graced by the perfect amount of sunlight and slowly, very slowly over millions of years, through a process of combination, competition and most importantly symbiosis developed more complex organisms.  Fast forward to this moment where YOU are simultaneously listening to ‘Tales from the Bilge’, processing the syntax on this page through reading, banking the information for the future, and hopefully being moved by this sensory experience while developing a deeper love and respect for the sea, the planet, and your fellow human and animal beings.

You are the result of 4,000 millions of years of circumstances and chance that delivered you this specific moment, and it is whatever you wish it to be. I thank you for sharing it with me. 

In April 2018, I traversed the widest and deepest ocean in the world : The Pacific Ocean. I listened to the sea and saw the endless unseen wild wilderness that exists beyond the lands edge.  For 23 days, this blue expanse filled my world to the horizon for 360 degreees, unbroken by land or any form in every direction — a continual eternity of nothingness and everythingness. 

The bones of this album were written in that space between it all, and brought me understanding and solace during this intense journey.

We were three individuals on a 38-foot object floating in an ocean so big that when zoomed out on a map, we disappeared into an infinitesimal speck amidst an endless field of blue. As night fell and the billions of stars of the cosmos came into view overhead, the universal resolution became clear: 

We are small, however our combined impact is not.  

During our voyage, I saw more plastic than should ever be visible along a single path through what is the most remote wilderness in the world.  We also witnessed massive mega trawlers in action hugging the international waters border and pillaging this natural wilderness like never before.  Trawlers longer than 200 meters on multi-month voyages to fill the bellies of their freezers and feed the unchecked consumption of the East and West.  


Although the great forests of our planet create significant amounts of oxygen and our/my connection to land is stronger.  The oceans were our mothers belly, where we all came from and they are the real lungs of the planet and a dominant force in the climatic cycles of our planet.

I had never sailed an iota before pushing off. Though a sublime adventure, the journey was also persistent monotony and brought mind-bending pattern breaking as I simultaneously gazed outward and inward. The sea’s great waves smashed up against the hulls and shores the shores of our minds as perpetual sleep deprivation took its toll. It is only once you whittle away all the fluff that you realise we are all doing the best we can.


I hope this tale finds you well, my fellow voyager. Be gentle to the earth and to yourself; we are all learning how to sail for the first time on an ocean that can throw chaos at us at any moment.
And if you have some extra bandwidth, please think of what you can do for your water kin.

All Bumble and Merkaba Music Label proceeds from this album will be donated to SEA SHEPARD AUSTRALIA to support their positive work.  


Though I am happy to be on land again, I am grateful for my opportunity to sync with the endless waves and creatures of the sea.  

I hope you meet some as you enjoy Tales from the Bilge and glimpse my journey.

Look forward to sailing and dancing with you all soon.

TALES FROM THE BILGE  - Album Taster -  drops Sep 1 - 2018

Absolute pleasure remixing this supergroup. Produced in between Copenhagen and Berlin, here's my minimalistic take on Kalaha's "Cape Star"!
Enjoy.

https://soundcloud.com/kalahamusic

Mastered by Antony Ryan. 
Artwork by Zven Balslev. 

Kalaha is: 
Rumpistol: Synths, kalimbas & electronics 
Spejderrobot: Electronics 
Emil de Waal: Drums, percussion & electronics 
Niclas Knudsen: Guitar & talkbox. 

-

The award winning and Gilles Peterson-approved Danish supergroup Kalaha returns with their first release in almost two years: the EP 'Mama Ngoma'.

The EP is first and foremost a tribute to West African traditions like Highlife and Afrobeat but mixed with the dance floor appeal of contemporary electronic music.

The backbone of the band comes from the outrageous drumming of Emil de Waal, who's improvisational attitude is known to astound audiences around the world, alongside the finely balanced guitar of Niclas Knudsen, who has been studying and refining African techniques for more than a decade now.

On top of this, the two highly regarded electronic producers and synth wizards, Rumpistol & Spejderrobot, take the band to new musical hemispheres by adding layers through extra-terrestrial synths, analogue effects and spaced out samples.

The electronic aspect of the EP is further expanded with two remixes from NYC-based MALAKAI and Danish rising star Bwoy de Bhajan.

The EP is accompanied by an animated video directed by the group's art director Zven Balslev, and in the spring of 2019 follows an entire album titled 'Mandala'.

Track by Track

The EP kicks off with the catchy and highly danceable 'Mama Ngoma', which combines African mud huts with epic science fiction. We then reach the hypnotic horn attack of 'Cape Star', featuring wonderful guitar work from Knudsen, before the West Coast inspired 'Malaika' leads into an outro that’s like Talking Heads, if David Byrne was replaced by a Speak&Spell computer!

Fourth track and first single 'Dragon Jenny' shows the band in more mellow and reflective territories without losing their groove. The track has already received airplay around the world.

To finish things off we're proud to have the NYC-based producer MALAKAI present his dubsteppy anagram remix of 'Malaika', before rising star Bwoy de Bhajan spoils us with his minimalistic take on 'Cape Star', reminiscent of some of Shackletons earlier percussion-driven work.

The EP has had early support from The Rust Music (US), Jay Scarlett (DE/Sound Supreme/Puls), Mathieu Schreyer (US/KCRW), Descroix (DK/Iboga), P8 Jazz (DK), The Slow Music Movement (UK), Dancefloor Mayhem (US), Synths of Eden (DE), Pouled'or (DE), Radio Prun (F), Mantra Radio at CITR FM (CAN), Dubmission (US), Heartbeats (DK), O Dominio Dos Deuses (PT), Hakan Tamar (TU) & Mushpost Radio on WAXX.FM (US/James Cook).

Shwamp returns with his much anticipated, third album, Circus. Louis has shifted his focus to the development of melodies and crafting a full journey into each of these tracks. With his intent set to create something innovative and different, he chose a warmer sound with a deep chilled dimension. It definitely made this collection of tracks rooted in heart, painting an emotional landscape for us to experience.

The hallmark Shwamp sound is still a big part of the scenery, here. Expect those nice, gooey, mechanical sound design that he is well known for with a very playful feel. During these times of difficult uncertainty, it is a welcome mood; the brighter vibes are poignant and fitting. The ringmaster brings an air harmony, enjoy the Circus!
