Name: awake in WORK.four - Sample this! (BLT 'Sample 2024' Remix) * BLT Label Series * by Bastian Leonidas Thomas
Duration: 1 h 17 min 37 s
Description: 'Sample this!' is my 4th Work Records Compilation and the tape was probably the one in the series, that got the most attention & found fans among its listeners. Olavs Samplitude started a new buzz around the label & lead him to his next 'own' label, Rootz Records. I almost forgot, how fast these tracks are - especially for house records back then.

Welcome to the opening chapter of 'Moving Pressure,' novel imprint curated by Rene Wise.

With this venture, Wise envelops a unique musical philosophy centered around the profound art of capturing feelings through sonic experiences. 'Moving Pressure' is not just a label; it's an exploration into the visceral connection between sound and the human body. The nameis a testament to the core essence of its concept – music that pulsates through every fiber, guiding movement and emotion in perfect synchrony. The term 'pressure' is more than a mere metaphor; it symbolizes the particles of sound that weave into the fabric of our physical being, compelling us to dance and resonate with the rhythms’ patterns.

The visual identity of 'Moving Pressure' mirrors this ethos, with abstract figures in constant motion, a visual representation of the vibrant energies that encapsulate each composition. This EP is not just a collection of tracks; it's a manifestation of the existing dialogue between tangible and intangible realities inviting to feel, move, and connect with music on a sensitive level. So let us begin.

As the inaugural release, Moving Pressure 01 serves as a sonic diary showcasing Rene Wise’s musical storytelling. Each track on the EP contributes to a harmonious blend of innovation and restraint, inviting listeners to embark on a captivating journey through the artistry of sound and rhythm. Sometimes, it's the spaces between the notes that resonate the loudest.

Motohiro Kawashima is a Tokyo-based game composer and DJ, best known for his work on the legendary Streets of Rage 2 & 3, which he co-composed alongside his friend and longtime collaborator, Yuzo Koshiro. His work is known for its experimental and techno-influenced style, most notably on the genre-defying and entirely unclassifiable soundtrack to Streets of Rage 3, which continues to astonish and perplex listeners over 30 years later.

In 2017, Kawashima was reunited with Koshiro to tour the music of the Streets of Rage trilogy in live venues across the World and shortly afterwards began working on his first solo album.

This vinyl edition showcases Kawashima’s first ever non-soundtrack albums, combining the previously self-released Prepared Wave (2019) and Acrobatizm (2023) into one package. Throughout these works, Kawashima explores and blends different styles of electronic music, drawn from his decades of watching Western trends enthusiastically from afar, while retaining his own unique style and the sense of playful experimentalism for which he first became known.

Double LP on translucent pink vinyl.

Moving Pressure 03 lands as Rene Wise’s third release on his imprint. With a refined approach to rhythm and restraint, the artist once again distills techno to its purest form: hypnotic, percussive, and propulsive. Across four tracks and in line with the label’s essence, MP03 thrives on movement—low-end mastery meets tightly coiled grooves, while textural elements shift and evolve with subtle precision. 

A1 ‘Relax’ sets the foundation with a mighty sub-base, rolling forward with effortless force. Chopped-up claps ricochet through the mix, while a funky, disembodied vocal repeats a single command: “relax”. Then comes ‘Chomp Chomp’, a denser offering in Wise’s sensorial arsenal. Layered with gritty textures, his signature percussion builds a soundscape that is both tactile and weightless, evoking a kinetic dream state where groove and space are in constant conversation. On the flip, ‘Cave’ plunges into murkier terrain. Swathed in fog and sinister atmospherics, it unfolds through an eerie blend of sci-fi surrealism and grounded physicality. Bleeps hover like distant signals, their sharpness softened by a cavernous, smothering embrace. It’s a study in tension—hypnotic and unsettling in equal measure. Closing the release is ‘Deep Under’, a track that embodies its name with subterranean mystique. The soundscape is rich with detail, an ecosystem of sonic fragments shifting beneath the surface. It’s immersive yet elusive, like catching glimpses of something just out of reach—a mirage that flickers between the tangible and the ethereal. 

This is minimalism with intent, built for deep immersion. Less, here, is infinitely more.

Moving Pressure 03 - Rene Wise

With its fourth release, Moving Pressure welcomes its first external artist: young Slovenian producer Obscur. With a signature sound that is driving and subtly psychedelic, his debut on the label doesn’t stray from the core tenets of its sonic ethos. Obscur delivers minimalism with purpose—dynamic, intentional, and wholly physical.

‘F135’ opens the A-side with a sinister tilt—rubbery squeaks stretch and coil around a flickering, synthetic voice. It’s tactile and strange, without losing movement. ‘Soul Eater’ follows with a slow-burn crescendo, nestling psychedelic inflections into a warm low-end. On the flip, ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ pares things back. Dry, stripped rhythms carry an atmospheric tension—it’s austere yet playful, leaving space for darker hues to linger without fully settling. A precise, heads-down statement. ‘Blasphemy’ follows with a tighter percussive grip and Feral-esque, panning modulations. Highs slice through a foundation of finely textured grooves—functional at its core, but laced with enough detail to give the track a sharper, more intricate edge. The digital bonus, ‘Diamond City’, stretches the sonic palette even further. Not through layers, but through tone: steel blues and deep violets bounce off metallic bleeps with cinematic restraint, closing the EP on a reflective note.

---------------------------


"Social Problems", captures the frustration and alienation felt in today's fast-paced, high-pressure society. The track’s aggressive drive reflects the constant rush of modern life, while its incomplete melody symbolizes the desire to disconnect from the societal noise. However, despite the urge to ignore the world, it’s impossible to escape its overwhelming presence.
The song isn’t just a release of anger—it’s also a message of hope. Beneath the chaos, there’s an underlying resilience that suggests, even in the face of societal pressure, there’s always room for hope and personal strength. "Social Problems" is a critique of the system and a reminder to hold on to what remains of one's true self.

The Monster - Eyesore (BLT 2018 He needs Help Mix)

My first attempt on this mix was recording it in one go - making it a bit longer than the usual 80 minutes that fit on a cd so i recorded it digitally on my laptop. But in the end this led to quality loss & some kind of 'skipping' where in real there was no. Therefore i divided the set around the half & recorded two mixes as a double-disc for my collection. The 2nd half is already waiting in line - have fun with this one & feel free to drop your comments. Always curious about your thoughts & emotions. Have a great weekend.

Acid runs through my veins (BLT's 'Supertoxic' Mix) * BLT Label Series *

Since earliest childhood i was into music & the turntable & vinyl of my parents. My father initiated my addiction to vinyl finally by starting to let me select a record at the age of 6 years. Since then i bought music on vinyl. When i started visiting clubs with 15 & was experiencing the gay scene, i often brought some of my house records to an event & asked the, dj if he knows these or could play them - they did & after a few times they handed me the headphone & said "do it yourself, you're welcome" (ultimate thanks to 'Ralf Auge', Toby Geier & Ludger Werb at this point - you lit the spark in the clubs or let me 'practice' at your homes). Thinking about these first steps into djing makes me smile with a bit of melancholy... this is an experience that is hard to imagine these days.

With my first own earned money at age 16 or 17 i finally bought 2 turntables, a mixer, a headphone & started to mix at home with the records i bought until then. I began giving my mixtapes to other djs, that did own parties in town & i got often the possibility to play. In 2006 i took a break from djing for 6 or 7 years. Vinyl production dropped, many labels switched to digital format - something i never was interested in, not even in cds. In 2013 i recognized, that vinyl was ready for a big return to the market.

My vinyl library expands meanwhile a 7000+ records & is still rising. If you hear anything here that you like, let me know.
