BAKK Releases

Geotact:
‘chosen for ornament, stone matched with stone’

Fiesta Soundsystem and XMTR bring you GEO01, First Colour, the inaugural release on their new label, Geotact. Equal parts tender and visceral, mixing impressions of the ‘natural’ with the intrinsic artifice of electronically produced sounds.

The record kickstarts a project that has been in the works for two years, from which more music in a variety of styles will be emerging in the near future...

Plafond 6 — Cucina Povera & Haron (LP)

Vinyl/digital: bakk.bandcamp.com/album/plafond-6
Vinyl/distribution (Clone): https://clone.nl/item59834.html

A	Cucina Povera & Haron — Riffittelyä (21:43)
B1	Haron — Maandag, Spiegeldag (6:47)
B2	Cucina Povera — Ajatus (9:26)

Plafond enters its second decade with Cucina Povera and Haron fusing the folkloric and futurist. Maria Rossi and Haron Aumaj (real names) honour musical cinematism on ‘Riffittelyä’, which slowly unfolds during a twenty-two minute trail of exploration, angst and redemption. Meddling voices pinch through an aural mist, Kubrickesque strings impend and cathedral organs relevate. Most striking is the compatibility of Rossi’s tangibility and Aumaj’s computerisation, seamlessly forming a renewed dynamic, as granular as it is loose in texture.

During this unique first collaboration it can be quickly forgotten both artists have highly distinctive styles. We are reminded of these singularities on the other half of the record, featuring two solo works, both rich yet contrasting in their colour and emotion. On ‘Maandag, Spiegeldag’, Aumaj sketches in orange chromatics, a featherweight composition that feels far away from the greyscale fragility that Rossi portrays on ‘Ajatus’. Showcasing two minimalist artists catapulted by their stunning debut albums, this sixth Plafond keeps the listener in constant awe, pointing us to the endless potential of spontaneity.

Comes in Pantone printed outer sleeve with deep red and yellow topped with a silk screened black and a soft pink inner sleeve, wrapped in a dreamy blue Obi-strip printed with white and black, by the BAKK Fuzz Factory.

BK018 - Leafs

Growing up in Milton Keynes, the largest of the "new towns" outside of London designed and built in the 1960s, perhaps explains why producer Nicholas Worrall is subconsciously drawn to clearly delineated sonic structures and flawed techno utopianism, two concepts that are ever present in both his sound and aesthetic approach to music.

Wordcolour (@wordcolour) was formed just two years ago, at a time when Worrall was habitually cutting up and splicing human voice samples ripped from YouTube memes, film dialogues and musique concrète tapes.

The first artistic demonstration of these ideas arrived in 2019 via his mixtape “I Want To Tell You Something” for the Blowing Up The Workshop platform. This unique set immediately grabbed the attention and support of the specialized music press and media, including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor.

“Tell Me Something” is Wordcolour’s official debut EP and heads straight for the dance floor. It is comprised of an unusual melting pot of influences that fuse the UK club sound, post-dubstep and a style akin to Paul Lansky's ‘90s musique concrète. “Tell Me Something” offers a vibrant leftfield, avant-garde techno and edgy electro, all immersed in the vast cosmos of the human voice.

“Tell Me Something” will be released at the end of July on vinyl and all digital formats. Reserve your copy now at www.lapsusrecords.cat.

The Third Mind

BAKK017 | GEN-Y / G.F. - The Third Mind

Fade - In Orbit

Natal Zaks aka Mr. IRL sets the bar for fellow Århus based label 'Lightweight Electronics', contributing a 13 track LP to make up the label's inaugural release tited 'Synthesized Emotion', which was simutaniously produced to soundtrack a film produced by Natal, commissioned by the team at Strøm Festival. 

Staying true to Natal's varied output across varied monikers, 'Synthesized Emotion' is an eclectic display of a forward-thinking producer; giving nuances to how futuristic dance music would sound in space, curating the soundtrack for a stunning film, of which you can view here: https://vimeo.com/446785453 

The current offering perfectly embodies the LP's sound, and accompanying visuals. With a cosmic feel summated by heavily syncopated drums, terrestrial synth squeals and a gurgling bassline, extra terrestrial travel has never sounded so possible.

The LP will be distributed by the affiliated Safe Distro crew; you can grab it here: https://lightweightelectronics.bandcamp.com/releases

UK producer BufoBufo (Ritual Poison / Batrachian Records) brings his amphibious sound to the growing Scottish Highland based label. The ‘Potholing’ EP takes its name from the definition of ‘underground cave exploration’, with three original tracks that pull you further into the deep, dark sounds of underground rave.

‘Cave Network’ sets the tone for the EP, immersed in acid-like textures, deep sweeping pads and interchanging breaks rhythms. Second in is ’Giant Antlion’ with cosmic style analog arp’s that lift towards a hefty breaks / bass combo, then ‘Blue Demoiselle’ takes you back to the surface with a rolling breaks number smothered in dreamlike pads and uplifting melodics. London based producer - and Ritual Poison co-runner - Corporeal Face ties the EP up with a phenomenal twist on ‘Cave Network’.

The ‘Patholing’ EP releases on Kouncil Cuts on November 13th.
