From The Brink (Aurora Halal Version)

Von Claudio Monteverdi bis J. S. Bach umfasst das Album »Adoration« des Pandolfis Consort mit dem Countertenor Nicholas Spanos ein Jahrhundert barocker Musikgeschichte. Die Stilistik evolvierte innerhalb dieser Jahre, dennoch gibt es Gemeinsamkeiten: die ruhigen Schritte des Basso ostinato, das zarte polyphone Geflecht der Instrumente und die melancholisch stimmende, ergreifend klare Singstimme. Das historische Instrumentarium und die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit historischer Aufführungspraxis eröffnen dabei spannende klangliche Welten. Neben Monteverdi und Bach stammen Arien, Madrigale, Motettensätze und instrumentale Sonaten auch von weit weniger bekannten Komponisten aus Italien, Deutschland/Österreich und Polen wie Giovanni Felice Sances, Giovanni Battista Bononcini, Jan Dismas Zelenka, Theodor Schwartzkopff, Stanislaw Sylwester Szarzynski, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer und Francesco Cavalli. Nicholas Spanos studierte in Griechenland zuerst bei Aris Christofellis. Danach setzte er sein Studium an der Musikfakultät der Universität von Maryland (USA) im Gesangsstudio von Linda Mabbs als Stipendiat der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde von Athen fort; gleichzeitig arbeitete er dort als Assistent und erlangte den Magister in Gesang und Opernaufführung. 2013 absolvierte Nicholas Spanos einen postgradualen Lehrgang Lied und Oratorium (Klasse von Charles Spencer) an der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien. Er nahm an vielen Meisterkursen prominenter Lehrer wie Kurt Equiluz, Delores Ziegler, Anna Tomowa-Sintow und Michael Chance teil. Nicholas Spanos' erfolgreiche Opern-, Oratorien und Soloauftritte wurden national und international mit äußerst positiven Rezensionen bedacht. Er hat häufig mit dem Venice Baroque Orchestra, Les Talens Lyriques, der Camerata Stuttgart, dem Clemencic Consort, dem Orchester 1756 Salzburg, der Griechischen Nationaloper, dem Athener Megaron Konzerthaus, den Staatsorchestern von Athen und Thessaloniki, dem Griechischen Nationaltheater und dem Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra zusammengearbeitet. Das Pandolfis Consort wurde 2004 von Elzbieta Sajka-Bachler, Bratschistin und Absolventin der Krakauer Musikakademie, gegründet, um einem größeren interessierten Publikum selten gespielte Werke berühmter, zum Teil vergessener Komponisten näher zu bringen. Mittlerweile hat sich das Ensemble etabliert und wird regelmäßig zu internationalen Festivals in Polen, Österreich, Finnland, Spanien, Italien, Holland und der Slowakei eingeladen. Große Beachtung im Inland fand die Aufführung von Bachs »Johannespassion« im Radiokulturhaus Wien sowie der Auftritt beim Ö1-Festival »Italia mia« mit einer ORF-Live-Übertragung. 2007 bis 2013 veranstaltete das Pandolfis Consort in Wien einen eigenen Zyklus »Musik in der Deutschordenskirche« und seit 2013 ist Gastgeber für das Internationale Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber Festival in Wien. Das Repertoire des Ensembles reicht vom Frühbarock über die Klassik bis zur Moderne und umfasst auch zeitgenössische Kompositionen, die für das Consort geschrieben wurden. Das historische Instrumentarium stellt die Komponisten vor die reizvolle Aufgabe, ihre moderne Tonsprache zu adaptieren und somit neue Klänge zu finden. 2012 wurden Auftragskompositionen von Johanna Doderer (Österreich) und Stanley Grill (USA) sowie im Jahr 2014 in Innsbruck zwei Kompositionen des Tiroler Komponisten Franz Baur uraufgeführt. Das Pandolfis Consort konzertiert bevorzugt in seiner Stammbesetzung von vier Musikern, aber auch in erweiterter Form mit namhaften Sängern oder zusätzlichen Instrumentalisten. Die Besetzung des Continuo mit Theorbe und Violoncello trägt zur klanglichen Besonderheit bei.

mono no aware (もののあわれ) is the first compilation to be released on PAN, collating unreleased ambient tracks from both new and existing PAN artists.

Featuring Jeff Witscher, Helm, TCF, Yves Tumor, M.E.S.H., Pan Daijing, HVAD, Kareem Lotfy, ADR, Mya Gomez, Sky H1, James K, Oli XL, Bill Kouligas, Flora Yin-Wong, Malibu, and AYYA, the compilation moves through more traditional notions of what is called ’ambient’, to incorporating wider variations that fall under the term.

“Mono no aware”, ‘the pathos of things’, also translates as “an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera”. A term for the awareness of impermanence, or the transience of things. A meditation on mortality and life's transience, ephemerality heightens the appreciation of beauty and sensitivity to their passing. In investigating the passing of time, the boundaries between memory and hallucination become blurred; between fiction and reality. The movement of time transforms into an eternal present.

The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Molly Matalon and design by Bill Kouligas. A limited version of 100 copies will be released as a special art edition in collaboration with Mount Analog for the LA Art Book Fair 2017, before going on general release.

The founders of Future Nuggets are delivering their debut full LP as Delusion Men, marking the peak of almost a decade long conspiracy. Ion D (Utopus) and Camil Dumitrescu (aka The Holy Fix) have amassed on this album tracks and bits spreading over many years, raw gems and shiny nuggets resulted from intensive electronica fusions. Ion D needs no introduction, contriving as a producer projects like Steaua de Mare and Raze de Soare, his oriental knowledge is in full presence on this LP, starting with the eponymous track "Stuck on the Border". Camil Dumitrescu's fresh project The Holy Fix is already making waves, consacrating him as dub and "technodelia" expert. After the smash EP of Delusion Men in collaboration with Khidja (on P-Balans sub-label), this LP comes as another irrefutable proof of Bucharest's already mature -partially under the radar- scene of electronic psychedelic hybrids, fittingly represented by Future Nuggets and P-Balans. No fillers just killers, not to be missed!

Stuck On The Border

Pre-Order!

PRÉMIÈRE: Delusion Men - Stuck On The Border [Future Nuggets]

Release date: August 2017

The dramaturgy of the project is inspired by the life philosophy of Hildegard von Bingen as is preserved in her musical and literary work. On the one hand we can perceive Hildegard as a mystic and saint woman, on the other hand as a strong abbess and political gifted person.  Those two points of view are the most important in the
interpretation of her concept of human being. Her music and visions are full of humanity and divinity as well, it inspires me to call the concert programme "Ego sum homo “( I'm the man).

Sortie de l'album : août 2017

L’esprit de ce projet est inspiré par la philosophie de vie d’Hildegard von Bingen, telle qu’elle nous est présentée dans ses oeuvres littéraires et musicales. D’une part, nous pouvons percevoir Hildegard comme une femme mystique et sainte et, d’autre part, en tant qu’abbesse rigoureuse et personne impliquée politiquement. Ces deux points de vue sont essentiels pour l’interprétation de son concept de la réalité humaine. Sa musique et ses visions sont remplies d’humanité et de divinité et ont inspiré ce programme “Eggo sum homo” (Je suis l’homme).

Following a pair of head-turning releases for the Mannequin label, Spanish techno explorer JASSS will soon be releasing her debut album, 'Weightless.' Scheduled to arrive via Swedish outpost Ideal Recordings on September 18, we debuted the LP's ominously slithering title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

JASSS "Weightless" [First Floor Premiere]

JASSS  - "Oral Couture"

​Dutch producer Deniro has been on our radar for a while and he's about to further cement his place as one of the most exciting artists around. His space-age strand of techno has found a home on Nina Kraviz's трип​ Recordings and the upcoming 'Mendoza' EP is his most accomplished body of work to date. 

Following on from an amazing Guide mix for us and a premiere of his track 'Painting 1', we're pleased to offer up the first track from his latest double EP and we can see why Nina has put so much faith in him.

'700' is one of eight new tracks you'll be able to hear at the end of September

Premiere: Deniro '700'

I had dinner with my filmmaker friend Ryan, when he told me he was going to Iceland. I asked if he would let me use some of his footage. It was a perfect fit to work with footage from Iceland - Elskavon was named with two combined Iceland words (Elska meaning "love" and von meaning "hope"), which was a tip of the hat to Sigur Ros, my main influence when first starting to write ambient music. I even title one song from every album in Icelandic.

PE04: JK Flesh - PI04 (incl. Silent Servant Remix) [π04] 
Release date: 02.02.2018

Pi Electronics reaches its fourth release with PI04 and welcomes on board the legendary figure of Justin K. Broadrick, also known as JK Flesh. Broadrick, whose name relates to the Birmingham industrial Metal band Godflesh, as well as Napalm Death, Jesu and more, delivers an EP of 3 original tracks under his electronic music moniker of JK Flesh. Informed by industrial, dub, power electronics and the extreme excesses of electronic music driven by beats and bass, JK Flesh presents different sides of his repertoire. California based Juan Mendez aka Silent Servant, co-founder of the ground-breaking Jealous God and Sandwell District imprints and known for his minimal wave-indebted techno sound, offers an atmospheric electro remix of Broadrick’s PI04.2.
