Made in 2003 - Craig Massiv & Dogstarr and Special appearance from PJ

Dogstarr & Craig Massiv - Decomposing Beethoven

This one started as a jam with a very static groove to begin with, Kick + Pulse Snare, and then the bass stabs to match. I had been spending my sort of newly isolated days new to Berlin, not knowing that many people just yet, and locking myself away in the studio. Watching plenty of John Carpenter movies (my favorite film maker) and digesting a whole load of 70's progressive rock & 80's film score soundtracks.
The whole thing came together pretty quickly, the arpeggio played out that way because I had been practising that scale and was finally able to make the run. 
I can't go into too much detail here without writing an essay in the universal powers but at some point and the same if for all of us who create in whatever ways we do, the artist becomes the instrument and at that perfect moment the universe and the artist are one.
This was the final production to leave the studio in 2012. Just before i turned off the computer for the last time and headed back to London from Berlin to meet my sister for Christmas on the 23rd of December. 
7 days later Jonny White Calls me on my birthday and asks to sign it to No.19. 

I recently did an interview with one of my favorite electronic music journalists Marcus Barnes to have an in depth chat on the creation of this track - read that full interview here:

Eric Volta - Love Your Illusion

This one started of as a jam session from a friend, but quickly all the parts has escalated and grew into it's own. It was yet another magic weekend in the studio as friend & music collaborator Gaika drops in with a few of his dutch friends. Chamireaux barely has the time to get acquainted and runs in & out of the studio after 10 minutes leaving this wonderful ad lib'd performance. Gretz then steps into the vocal booth and in just the same way leaves a great ad lib'd shortly after and makes a swift departure.
Gretz and I would meet again in the following weeks and work on more music together.


Eric Volta - Masters of Puppets

Ease into the weekend with an hour of mellow electro from Scissorwork - featuring older classics and forthcoming tunes from the man himself.

Tracklist: http://bit.ly/roy-ayers-75

Celebrating the 75th birthday of Mr Roy Ayers with this mix, showcasing some of my favourite tracks from his slightly lesser known material… Well, I mean compared to tracks like Everybody 
Loves The Sunshine, Searching, We Live In Brooklyn, Running Away, Love Will Bring Us Back Together…

I also hear new stuff that I hadn’t noticed before when I listen to his music - the track with Jack Wilson that opens the mix up is so heavy and cosmic for its time, and I’d forgotten about the track with Wayne Henderson! There are so many great albums out there including the 2 Virgin Ubiquities BBE put out... We could devote a whole week of radio programmes to Roy, his archive is so large… 

He is the key to all things between jazz, soul, disco and hip hop…. Thank you roy for all the music...


Tracklist

Roy Ayers 75th Birthday Mix

For their next trick, the Apparel Music label introduces us to a brand new act, Modulearth, and they serve up four magical tracks that come with five great remixes, plus mastering by Lopazz and cover design by Andrea Contin. The whole excellent project was curated by Giuseppe D’Alessandro.

Modulearth are a new duo from Milan made up of Nicolas Meyer and Luca Vertulli, and this is their first ever release together. On drums they enlist the legendary Italian Christian Meyer, a veteran of many jazz bands and firm member of Elio e le Storie Tese as well as Trio Bobo, The Drummeria and Biba Band. Meanwhile, Nicolas Meyer is 22 years old, has studied piano for 16 years at the hands of the acclaimed Massimo Colombo and is the grandson of Meyer, while Luca Vertulli is 27, has long been playing synths and making analogue sounds and is the architect of Modulearth, a duo that has been collaborating since January 2015. As such this is a hugely accomplished production outfit, and that really shows in the music.
Up first is the sumptuous ‘Slowness’, a slo-mo brew of languorous chords, jumbled drums and trip hop vibes that bubble and gurgle brilliantly. It is a track that marries synthetic sounds with organic percussion and heavenly vocals and exudes real warmth. ‘Blue Note’ is a downbeat and jazzy track that takes plenty of cues from the legendary label of the same name. It is dreamy and expertly arranged, with hip swinging beats and lovely chords colouring in the groove.
‘Broken Memories’ then sinks down into a deliciously deep house groove with noodly melodies, Rhodes progressions and golden synths that are perfectly homely and inviting. Finally on the original front, ‘Perhaps In The Red Car’ is a big, playful track with bouncy drums, trilling synths and is a lush track that really exudes musicality, originality and feel good vibes.
As for the remixes, Accatone A Brother's A Brother Dub Mix of ‘Blue Note’ reimagines it as a perfectly cuddly, romantic house groove, Moony Me's 'Morning Sunrise' Remix of ‘Broken Memories’ is louche and lived in, roughshod and delightfully happy, Pedro D’Alessandro flips ‘In The Red Car’ into a shuffling bit of micro house and E-dward! goes for a more peak time, rubbery house mood on his slowly uplifting take on ‘Slowness.’ Lastly, the SCHiLLiNG remix of ‘Blue Note’ is a broken beat, neo soul affair with dreamy and sub kissed trumpets, lots of found sound detail and a real air of jazziness.

This is massive package full of brilliantly organic, expertly musical grooves that really stands head and shoulders above everything else.

Searching For (prod. LAKEY INSPIRED)

So here’s my tribute to the mighty mighty one, Mr Maurice White, who sadly passed away on February 4 of this year. He left us an incredible treasure trove of music that has shaped the way I live my life!

I avoided the really obvious hits that you can hear everywhere and went for my personal faves, and a solid dose of the music that went on to shape the unique sound of Earth Wind and Fire from his early years working with two great mentors to him, Ramsey Lewis and Charles Stepney.

I got so much pleasure recording this - I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

INTERVIEW:  https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-baltra-b2b-fede-lng/ ‎

This edition of our MIXED BY/ series is brought to you by not one but two Bolting Bits regulars, New York's Baltra and London's Fede Lng. Both artists have had a breakout couple of years finding their places, either by design or by serendipity, as frontrunners in the lo-fi movement. Below, you'll find some extra info on each artist and an interview with Axe on Wax bossman, Fede Lng.

Fede Lng has carved out a coveted spot as both curator and creator in the dusty depths of London's music scene. Since their inception in 2014, Axe on Wax and its sub-labels have gone on to see releases from a who's who list of recent stars including Mall Grab, Chaos in The CBD, Trudge, Deejay Astral, and Jesse Bru. With a penchant for rough and raw tracks chock-full of equal parts grit, dust, and feeling, Lng has found himself in the middle of a musical movement that shows no signs of slowing down and continues to defy expectations.

Across the Atlantic, New York's Baltra has been not so quietly making a name for himself with great self-releases and stand out EPs on labels such as Lost Palms and Of Paradise, the Philidelphia-born artist's music has served as a gateway drug for many of lo-fi's biggest proponents. And while his aesthetic blends seamlessly into what we've come to expect from the scene, the emotions contained within the music easily transcend the genre or any doubts about its staying power.

Daniel Portman - Vulnerable (Date of Release 10-8-2018)

I wrote this while working on ‘Ultraviolet’ last year, but it didn't quite fit with the flow of the whole album. It reemerged again during live rehearsals and we decided to include it in our sets at festivals this summer, it's been real fun playing it live to all of you. So I thought I'd release it finally, I hope you enjoy it. x
