Circuits of the Soul 417 Hz. [Dark Nature Concept]

Out now on 12": http://www.juno.co.uk/products/miajica-i-forgot-about-love/581807-01/

Miajica follows up on his ‘Second Spring’ EP on Origami Sound with a physical release that features remixes from Acid Pauli, Wareika and Alma Negra. The digital version will surface on November 2

There is a certain melancholy yet highly comforting mood that Miajica is good at conjuring through his more elaborate and sensitive tracks. The two originals on his 'I Forgot About Love' EP are probably the best examples in his discography so far of such a mood. Both the Middle Eastern themed 'I Forgot About Love' and the dubby 'Au bord de l'eau' are deep, groovy and immersive long-play tracks, devised for that ideal crowd that likes to indulge in the process and catch every detail.

Acid Pauli and Wareika contribute with even more brilliant detail work, retouching the originals in surprising and sophisticated ways. Acid Pauli gives his 'I Forgot About Acid' remix a minimalistic, spaced-out, acid infused twist, creating a tangible world of new sounds and superb musical moments. Wareika take their original - already an Alma Negra dub - out of its comfort zone and rework it into an anthem by adding extra spatiousness, an honest, universally-appealing vocal hook and perfecting everything around the soothing melody with the help of their own instrumentation.

"I Forgot About Love" is the seventh 12" release within our collective of labels. Wareika's Vocal Dub of "Au bord de l'eau" will be available exclusively on the 12" release, while the instrumental version replaces it on the digital version.

Miajica - Au Bord De L'eau (Alma Negra Dub)

Out 8th July 2016
Compilation sorted by COSMO VITELLI.

Cosmo Vitelli's label I'M A CLICHÉ might have run pretty low-key to the eyes of some but during its 12 years of activity, it managed to display a very clear artistic direction strong of 70 releases with a much enviable sonic cohesion while have a fine nose for talent: among other proud achievements, the label hatched the career of Israeli super-duo Red Axes and released Azari & III's "Hungry For The Power" 6 months before it became a worldwide classic.
A dozen years during which the label's tastes bended more and more towards a very peculiar type of synth pop and synth wave, too.

This year will see the release of a few retrospective compilations, each exploring the main traits and moods of its vast catalog.
The first one, "10 TRACKS THAT MIGHT HELP YOU FOR COOKING BUT WOULD CLEAR THE DANCEFLOOR" is obviously not touching I'M A CLICHÉ's arsenal of club weapons.
It's fair to say most of the music here either displays a feel of in-betweenness, or menace and tension—not unlike preparation scenes from a heist movie.

Cosmo Vitelli rounded up a selection spanning over the last decade, from UNCLE O's skeletal beats to ETIENNE JAUMET's modular synth jam, from ENTERTAINMENT's droning melodies and warehouse-reverberating drums to DIRTY 30's (actually Alixander III from Azari & III) twisted jazz-funk-leaning disco, the misty psychedelia of RED AXES' "Dreams Like A Tale". 

It's also a look back at COSMO VITELLI's own discography, through his 2006 single "Delayer" here remixed by Quiet Village over 10 minutes and two tracks from his band BOT'OX' second album (2013), all linked by the idea that escapism can somehow be a modern affair too. Here and now.

Somfay - Vermeer [Anesthesia - Heaven, Her Return]

I made this music way back in 1995 when i was finishing high school .
My good friend Dean Henning . AKA = Captain Asthma  helped me with programming some of the beats as Dean was our main drummer in Both our high school bands "Incurable" and "Fingerhead" .
I had at this stage in my life a KORG X3 Workstation Keyboard ( Thanks to my dear parents and Babs Naidoo Music in Pietermaritzburg )

At this stage in my life i was obsessed with early 80s electro music ............. bands such as Grauzone , No more , D.A.F , Joachim whitt , O.M.D , Front 242 , Kraftwerk .................... this type thing .
Of course at this point in time in South Africa ( One year into our new Democracy ) Most people where not listening to this type music .
Dean and I attempted to Record a Second Unit album in Pietermaritzburg , in a studio with our friend Gavin .
The music was recorded straight from my Korg onto DAT tape and the vocals and bass guitar where recorded separately.
Unfortunately our DAT tape was corrupt and the recording was a disaster .
Somehow Dean came into possession of a recording made onto cassette tape ................... and this is the only recording of Second Unit in existence .
This music was very personal to me when i made it 
Hope you enjoy
