For Now I Am Winter

For Now I Am Winter (feat. Arnór Dan)

Recorded in just six days at Brighton Electric in September 2010, As The Spirit Wanes will be released in the UK on January 31st, 2011. Whilst from the outside last year has looked rosy for Codes In The Clouds with a remix album release, successful tours and festival slots, it’s also been a difficult year behind the scenes. Yet personal loss has proven a collective driving force, bringing the band closer as a group and shaping their surprisingly optimistic second offering:

“It’s not that the album has a set concept or theme, it’s just that each member of the band went through similar experiences around the same sort of time. So naturally, this is reflected in the album. We all feel really close to it, and it’s definitely the music we want to make. It’s a very personal record to us and we feel it’s a big step forward from the first release. The songs are definitely a better reflection of us as a collective of people. Hopefully others will identify with the ideas within the record and can relate it to their own experiences.” 

Co-produced by Erased Tapes initiator Robert Raths and label mate Ryan West, then mastered by Nils Frahm at his studio in Berlin, As The Spirit Wanes could almost be described as a family affair. Even the artwork has been inspired by the band’s time in Iceland, performing as part of the Erased Tapes label night at Iceland Airwaves 2010. Most importantly, it’s all about songs with As The Spirit Wanes offering its listener stunning melodies and razor-sharp hooks. From the Beach Boys pop appeal of Look Back, Look Up to the euphoric Washington, down to the emotionally charged two-minute hymn If I’d Have Known This Was The Last, Codes In The Clouds embody their genre in its most rewarding form.

Cine (Ben Hoo Remix) - Vaal

For those who were asking what the mysterious mix that was put on after the DJs stopped playing outside at the Life and Death party in Art Basel, here it is. A mellow trip prepared by Greg from Thugfucker and presented here as a little thank you from all of us at Life and Death. 

It's been an amazing year and we're so very appreciative of all the support we've gotten as we've adventured forwards on this incredible musical trip together. We've got lots of exciting things planned for the year ahead (and beyond!) and we look forward to continuing together on this ride wherever it takes us.

Thanks for being there with us along the way. It really does mean the world to us...

I took a short vacation break in Berlin and my good friend Peter Broderick was so nice to let me stay in his apartment. We stayed in on Friday night because of the rain, pressed record and started improvising... Here is a short excerpt.

OUT NOW - http://po.st/WhatIMightDo

With what might turn out to be one of the biggest tracks of the year, the massive 'What I Might Do' by Ben Pearce is here. Solomun, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Pete Tong are all already on board with championing this slick combination of soulful urban vocals and irresistible grooving deep house. It has graced danced floors from Berlin to Ibiza and is quickly developing into a runaway train... We're especially pleased to be exploring new genres with one of the biggest tracks of the year so far.

Tracklist auf www.frueher.com/newcomer-ziesel

Schon erfüllt mich dieser Glanz,
diese Harmonie und Fülle,
ihre Schönheit und auch Feinheit,
von dieser Musik - mich doch fast ganz.

Gleite hinfort in eine andr´e Welt,
wo alles ist von dieser wunderbaren Musik erhellt,
reite auf der Welle,
des Traumes,
der Musik.

Scheine durch die Welt zu sehen,
lösts sich´s auf,
ganz und gar,
nur die kleine Nachtmusik bleibt bestehen.

Stürze weiter in die Wogen,
in die Tiefen,
in die Wellen,
die diese Musik hat nun verbogen.

Size obenauf auf dieser Kraft,
sinke weiter,
falle höher,
bin besinnt von andrer Macht.

Doch da - da fällt nunmal alles zusammen,
stürzt ein,
zerfällt und berstet,
denn die Musik beginnt zu dammen.

Schwächer und immer kleiner,
und auch leiser wird die Kraft,
alles beginnt nun zu schwinden,
doch bin ich auch wieder Meiner.

Wieder hier in dieser Welt,
in dieser realen,
tonlosen
Welt - welche nicht von dieser Musik ist erhellt.

Stille.

Jetzt ist´s vorbei mit meiner Reise,
wieder hier wo ich begonnen,
wieder hier wo alles still,
doch von weit her hör ich eine kleine Nachtmusik ganz leise...

Robin Schulz - Wenn Träume fliegen lernen [DJ-Mix]


Limited edition blue vinyl 7” (1000 copies only) exclusively for Record Store Day. Features two tracks from 2 remarkable concerts at Melbourne Recital Centre in November 2011 and The Barbican Centre, London in January 2010 celebrating the legacy of one of England’s most revered singer/songwriters, Nick Drake.

Melbourne duo, Luluc lend a potent melancholia to Drake’s ‘Things Behind The Sun’ (from his third and final 1972 album ‘Pink Moon’) whilst exclusive to this 7”, the highly acclaimed Irish singer Lisa Hannigan presents an evocative rendition of ‘At The Chime Of A City Clock’ (from his second, ‘Bryter Layter,’ 1970).

‘Things Behind The Sun’ is taken from the forthcoming album, ‘Way To Blue : The Songs Of Nick Drake’ (released 15th April 2013).
Luluc’s forthcoming album was produced by Aaron Dessner of The National.

Nick Drake is an unlikely romantic hero. In the 1970s he was a minor English singer and songwriter who peddled a lyrical brand of introspection that earned him a small but devoted following and few record sales. Dogged by depression and embittered by his lack of success, he died of an overdose in 1974, virtually unknown and unnoticed. He left an amazing legacy - a handful of recordings of his sparsely beautiful songs across just three albums, less than two hours of music. But over the ensuing decades, the enduring potency of these songs has ensured Drake's reputation as one of the UK's truly great musical talents.

Luluc - Things Behind The Sun (Nick Drake cover, live recording)

The title track of the new Ben Hoo album, 'Collected'
Out Now! http://www.beatport.com/release/collected/1091808

If there has been a theme running throughout London producer Ben Hoo's career to date, it's that he's never wedded himself to a single style. Techno and house inform his recorded music as much as down-tempo and contemporary classical. From a production perspective, Ben is drawn towards sound manipulation and design. His approach is steeped in audio reconfiguration, which he offsets by creating his own rich synthetic tones.

The most substantial example of Ben Hoo's sonic explorations to date has arrived with 'Collected', a 12-track compilation that will see release through Get Physical sub-label, Kindisch. The collection, which is also Kindisch's first artist album, brings together original Ben Hoo material from previous EPs 'Marea' and 'Modal', alongside new and exclusive tracks. 

Binding the compilation is the title track, a contemporary classical piece composed entirely of sounds, themes and melodies from each of the other tracks on the album. "I wanted the elements presented in a contrasting style to take them away from their original intentions," says Ben, encapsulating his rich musical range. "This idea is like that of a remix, though it sounds like the opposite… the other tracks sound more like remixes of the composition. I created the piece very much with film in mind."  The track is a cinematic masterpiece and, highlighting this quality further, is accompanied by a beautiful short film by french filmmaker Pierre Radua.

The body of work is a true testament to Hoo's extensive musical ability and diversity, exploring techno, deep and tech house, sophisticated electronica and contemporary classical. "'Collected' was not intended as a traditional album," says Ben. "I wanted each track to stand alone with its own sounds and own story. They were made from vastly different inspirations and a lot of experimentations in modifying audio."    

Opening with ‘Marea’ ('tide' in Spanish), a deep track, relaxed and full of rhythm, the album continues on a journey through Hoo's rich sonic landscape, moving into 'Run Of Sevens' where a laid-back groove is enforced by a cyclic bassline drone. 'Night Light' combines tribal and minimal textures, whilst 'Modal', a deep, hypnotic piece built around a literal playing of a modal scale and made up of sound designed elements is all about indulging in a mood.  Jasmine has a feeling of warmth and optimism, combining tech house beats with sun-drenched jazz chords, and 'Cetacea' uses sounds evocative of whale song to create an enchanting soundscape set over complex rhythms.  'Duplex' is named as such due to the two very definite energy levels, and moves us into more rugged terrain, combining techno beats with driving, organic chimes. 'Maledictum's textures weave and manipulate slowly over time, with a raw pattern and rolling unbroken flow. The piece features a distorted, haunting vocal chant, infectious bassline and epic snare roll.  'Nightscape' is rhythm-centric with its deep contemplative chords conjuring images of night time city scenes, whilst 'Right Kind Of Rain' is an experimental slice of electronica, encompassing glitch palates, and is almost entirely focused on sound design.  The album's penultimate track 'Paper Juliet' is a downtempo jazz infused electric piano lead track which leads us into the sunset, whilst serenaded by tribal beats, before we embark on the final phase of the journey, the stunning, cinematic beauty that is 'Collected'.

'Collected' is not a typical artist album, and it's fair to say that Ben Hoo's rise to prominence has been far from typical. How many young producers could say they'd remixed Fever Ray, Moby, M.A.N.D.Y & Booka Shade and Tiga before even releasing a solo single? It takes true creative flair to carve out a career solely by interpreting the work of others—and London's Ben Hoo has done just that. His subsequent EPs for Kindisch showed his enormous potential as a solo artist, and 'Collected' will establish Hoo's place among electronic music's most promising new talents.
