Tracks, Edits and Remixes

Hunter of deep, infectious dance - gruuvs and a feel-good atmosphere, from the familiar to the obscure.´´ - that's how Armin describes himself as a DJ. He was an essential part of the Vienna TINGEL TANGEL collective and the notorious LIEDERBETÄTIGUNG together with Ali Europa. In Vienna.

South Coast sunset soundtrack stalwarts, Higher Love Recordings, pair up with fellow Balearic Brightonian, Perry Granville, aka Hotel Pellirocco`s Dave Sibley, for a proper pukka 6-track piece of plastic. Two tunes, Sailing Ships and New Arp4, slipped out, digitally, a couple of years back, but now they’ve been dusted off, polished, and given a stellar set of remixes, before finally being pressed to vinyl.

The former is a chugging, chunk `o funk, dynamite for darker dance-floors. A boisterous mid-tempo bouncer that pits wild, wonky, unpredictably pitched chords against twisting tones, gated shouts, and sampled `80s American network news footage. Early reports on this “fad” called “house music”. For the rework, Sean Johnston and Duncan “Tici Taci” Gray join forces, as Hardway Bros Meet Monkton Uptown. The dynamic duo delivering an epic dose of post-punk dub, that (Jah) wobbles to a lithe, live, bass-line. Its journey electrified by bubbling, effervescent sound-effects, ricocheting rimshots, and thunder / lightning strikes. A mediative melodica melody topping everything off.

The latter is a glacial, kinda gothic, wall of sound, set to a sleek electro beat. Ethereal ghosts inhabiting its machines, and shaken by explosions of cymbals. Towards its close Mr. Sibley switches on some serious TB-303 snarling. Break Mode takes the acid and diaphanous voices and fixes them to a loop of The Winstons B-boy /drum & bass classic, Amen Brother. Further adding shoegaze-esque 6-string action to create an emotional monster. Leeds` Mr. BC - real name Bob Salmond - constructs something equally anthem-like, but significantly more sleazy, by introducing a huge, resounding, reverberating thump. The rock guitars, rolling piano, and edgy menace of this wee small hours strut, had me personally thinking of butch, leather-clad gear, such as The Skatt Brothers` Walk The Night. A stunning, sparse, stripped-back, spaced-out reimagining from Justin Robertson`s Deadstock 33s completes the package. Driven by beatnik bongos, and shot through with spinning, spiralling strings, haunted by John Barry-like harpsichord - think The Persuaders TV theme - Justin’s jam is suffused with a sort of cinematic end-credit drama. A super suitable setting for the song`s found / sampled line, “How many can say they walk away the hero.”

Perry Granville - New Arp4 (Break Mode Remix) [Higher Love Recordings]

@wormbox
Burning the midnight soil, Wormbox is the amalgamation of two new age cats - Break Mode and Cole Baby - whose collaboration results in a euphoric trip that makes your feet glide against a smokey checkered floor. Their jams are uniquely sewn together by combining each of their distinct production styles, creating a truly singular sound. Pulling from all sides of their electronic and dance music predecessors, the outcome is just as delightful as it is unexpected, proving these worms are anything but grounded.

In this, their first offering, the two introduce you to their friend Kachina Sedona Max, a New Age Cat who enjoys drinking crystal water and meditating in the bathroom. This track is backed with the cosmic epic The Defender of Heaven.

Rounding out this release, Thomass Jackson brings a spritely psychedelic remix of a New Age Cat ripe for any dancefloor. Then Coast2c strips The Defender of Heaven down to the studs and runs it through a spin cycle.

Wormbox - The Defender of Heaven

It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure. — Frederick Sanger

PREMIERE: Wormbox — The Loon (Electric Shapes, 2023)

Debiutinio thelastsunday EP Namai interpretacija per Portlando kolektyvo Bed of Roses prizmę. „Namai EP mane iškart pakerėjo — jo subtilumas, drama ir bendra atmosfera labai surezonavo su manimi. Iškart žinojau, kad noriu kaip nors bendradarbiauti su šia menininke, tad kvietimas prisidėti prie šio remiksų projekto buvo tikra garbė. ilgai įtikinėti Bed Of Roses komandos narių nereikėjo - visi su džiaugsmu norėjo prisidėti“ — sako Bed of Roses įkūrėjas Break Mode.

Gimęs iš gilios meilės garsui ir emocijai, Namai — tai meditacija apie ryšius tarp gamtos, žmonių ir savęs, pasakojama per poetiškus lietuviškus tekstus, sodrius garsinius sluoksnius ir sudėtingus ritmus. Bed of Roses rankose šios dainos atgimsta iš naujo — kiekvienas remiksas tampa nuoširdžia dovana, pripildyta šilumos, pagarbos ir bendros muzikos kalbos.

A romantic reimagining of Namai — the debut EP by thelastsunday — through the lens of Portland’s Bed of Roses crew. “I was instantly drawn to the Namai EP — its subtlety, drama, and overall atmosphere really resonated with me. I knew right away that I wanted to collaborate with this artist in some way, so being invited to take part in this remix project was a real honor. Getting some of the Bed of Roses crew involved didn’t take much convincing either — everyone was excited to contribute,” says Break Mode, head of Bed of Roses.

Born from a deep love for sound and emotion, Namai is a meditation on the ties between nature, people, and the self — told through poetic Lithuanian lyrics, rich textures, and intricate rhythms. In the hands of the Bed of Roses crew, these songs bloom anew — each remix a heartfelt offering, infused with warmth, respect, and the shared language of music.

Orpheu the Wizard, who is a big inspiration to us as a cofounder of the sadly missed Amsterdam’s Red Light Radio and as an in-house designer for Dekmantel crew. Above all, we love his record collection and his unconventional approach to DJing. He never fails to surprise! Orpheu dug deep into his crates, you are in for a treat!;

Bed of Roses head honcho Break Mode turns out two tracks of introspective, breaks inspired head spinners with choice remixes from Carly Barton and Sound Believer. Wash One is a slo-mo, heady, end-of-night jaw pleaser built on layers of swirling vocal samples from wwwhisperkid and an 808 kick. Stabs is an acid-dipped, mid-tempo dance movement dripping with melodrama and not-not reminiscent of Violator-era Depeche Mode. Fresh off their brilliant OST release, Carly Barton splits Stabs in two with a darker rolling baseline, trance-inducing use of stereo and one eye towards sunrise. Sound Believer turns in a 7 minute, 90's UK tinged remix of Wash One with a driving four-on-the-floor beat and an ethereal balearic breakdown.

In the first hour of today's show, he delivers an hypnotic journey through a variety of percussive and lush ambient sounds. In the second part , there follows my set, with a tribal, downtempo-oriented mood and elements of acid.
