   Jan describes it best!!
           " 2019 collaboration with Gina Wood recovered from the dark archives.

With a Roman Catholic upbringing I learned that one should forgive 70 times 7 times. If you are wronged 491 times.."
Thanks Again Jan!!

🙋🏻‍♀️ Hi again dearest musical friends! 

As we head in to the end of this crazy year, I have something really special coming on Dec.14th -- my debut EP on @configofself alongside label head, Alexander Church 🤩 
Alex & I first connected in early 2019 when I discovered his work through a promo I received. Instantly hooked on his lush melodic sound, his productions made regular appearances in my sets and this summer, he asked me to collaborate and do vocals - something I'd been wanting to do for a while. Deeply rooted in psychological thinking and ideas, both 'In the Field' and 'Curious Paradox' would become Configurations 12, with two vocal cuts & two instrumentals. They received great feedback & support from @gai-barone @jamiestevens, @navarofficial, @djnickwarren, @filterbear, @melodystranger, @whomadewho @chriscargo, @fractalarchitect and @Audioglider, to name a few. And you'll hear one of them on today's show :) 

I'm also excited to announce that I'm the new manager for Configurations of Self & will be working closely with Alex to grow the label in the coming year. 

If you like what you hear today, please leave a comment & be sure to share. Thank you for the support & hope you enjoy! 😘 🏄🏻‍♀️

Also a supremely technically gifted sound technician, Alex creates music for film and television and could never be accused of lacking excitement. Amplifying his skills on every level, he retains the essence of emotional communication that makes his work so engaging.

“People really feel like they’ve got an emotional connection to it,” he says. “I feel like every track that I write has to resonate with me on an emotional level. If I’m not connecting with it and it’s not evoking some kind of feeling in me then why should I expect the listener to feel that too? As we’re all made of the same kind of stuff as it’s resonating with me then hopefully it’s going resonate with other people who are listening to it as well.”

On Nov.12th, Alex piloted a cataclysm of new abrasive sounds with his EP ‘Tephra’, released on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint. 

The ideas emerged from two months in the rugged, black volcanic surroundings of the Canary Islands, Spain. Banks armed himself with a restricted set of equipment taken from his studio in Brighton and set about focusing on the core of his musical expression.

The 5 track EP draws an abrasive array of intertwined melodic structures - one that could only be formed by an adept sound designers’ skillset. The title track and single ‘Tephra’, is woundingly brash, jagged and skull reverberating, it paints a mental landscape appropriate to where the tracks were born, in the context of a melodic hook line.

Following on from his second studio album, Beneath the Surface which was released on Mesh in 2019. Banks’ reimagines a different story, one of which was sculpted by his time witnessing unearthly volcanic landscapes. The change in scenery he recalls brought a welcomed ‘change of mindset’ than the earlier intense period of locking himself away in his Brighton studio with intermittent bursts of time spent by the coast to foster creative thought. It brought a different intensity to Banks’ sound, one that impressively finds a line between home listening and club-focussed dance-floor bangers.

Max Cooper on 'Tephra'
“Any words I can provide to say how large this release is are a weak reflection of listening to the music. The first time I heard the tracks the energy was just oozing out of them into my torso, and that hook line in Tephra, it's something. It's so hard to make a melodic structure like that which is so simple and catchy while also being engaging after so many years of people trying to make simple and catchy hook lines. It's a fine art of big sound Alex is onto throughout, classic references, full human expression, no holding back, it's a beautiful thing to experience with a full frequency response system”.

PREMIERE: Xiasou & Nikko Mavridis - Instant Specs (Kay Aka Khalil Touihri Remix) [Electronic Tree]

Label: @radikon
Release date: 27 Nov 2020

Radikon's annual Reto compilation marks its third instalment with catalogue number 22. Another year has come and gone in which we've grown, struggled and celebrated together in pursuit of the best artistic versions of ourselves. It's been a true ride, with challenges facing electronic dance music we would never have imagined. But through all this, we persevere, and we owe it to our artists, fans and collaborators, who continue to believe in Radikon and its vision. With Reto III, we feel stronger than ever, with returning artists Baime, Yubik, Dahu, Yuven, Arude and label heads Jonas Saalbach and Guzy. Reto III also marks the Radikon debut for Munich's Naeiiv and Berlin's Sam Shure and Deckert as new members of the Radikon crew. From our home base at Funkhaus Berlin our profoundest thanks for a memorable second year, and may there be many more to come!

"Destiny", is the newest output by talla2xlc!
You can expect the unexpected once again with the classic uplifting trance remedy of driving fast and furious basslines along with pumping solid drums and two incredible breakdowns perfect to throw your hands in the air like you don’t care. The climax is uplifting to the core and certainly can move even mountains. Pure Gold item for sure.

THE DREAM

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
