Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

We were fortunate to receive pro bono contributions from four highly-esteemed mastering engineers: Taylor Dupree (www.12kmastering.com), Brian Kage (kagemastering.squarespace.com), Dietrich Schoenemann (completemastering.com) and Tim Vitek (timvitekmastering.com). We are thankful for their meticulous work, especially to Dietrich for enlisting his fellow engineers to help with the massive remix load, 44 tracks are definitely too much for one person to listen to in such a short span.

Rain Dance by Birds is the first release on Feed The Void, the record label that takes its name from her monthly Netil Radio show. The aim of the label is to shed a light on some of the vast influences that inspire the Birds sound and the music she plays throughout her eclectic DJ sets. Expect plenty of EBM, acid, trance, breaks, electro, slow prog, chug and more. This self release is just the beginning before a series of VAs containing some of her favourite artists and friends. 

The EP itself is a huge melting pot of electro bass-lines, Birds’ distinctive EBM / dark wave inspired vocals, wonky acid, industrial sounding broken rhythms and quirky, unhinged synth lines.

Opening track ‘Trust Me’ sets the precedent for the EP and label with the lyrics “trust me, you’v not seen anything yet.” In other words, expect the unexpected.

‘Living With Liars’ opens with some pretty ferocious percussive drum beats before bursting into a spacey electro inspired bass line, interwoven with a squelchy distorted 303 and slick post-punk vocals.

‘Rain Dance’ is the heavy hitter of the EP, with a much higher BPM, an earth shaking amount of bass, a wonky MS20 line and fuzz guitar that seems to come out of nowhere. This title track is nothing like you’ve ever heard from Birds before which is why she chose it as the title track.

Closer ‘The Sands of Perception’ is a track inspired a passage from Aldous Huxley’s ‘The Doors of Perception.’ Tempo wise, we’re brought back to the mid range, whilst the ominous EBM inspired bass-line contrasts to the warm strings and uplifting vocals. It’s a euphoric ending to one hell of an intense ride.

Opener 39C from https://soundcloud.com/anatolianweapons is a psychedelic trippy remix with a long life and the flat footed broken beat, marking new sound for both the label and the Greek producer's genre - spanning discography. From the agitation, pulse pounding action to the utter cold forest, fueling a fire that that continues to burn in your mind starting from the 8th minute.

Premiere RMR002R - Aheadacheaday - 39C (Anatolian Weapons Remix)

Emotional Response completes its 10th anniversary by welcoming Benedikt Frey to the label with a special release, a fantastic dub-psychedelic cover of Joy Division, delivered in multiple versions, including a wonderful dub-meets-prog reinterpretation from Lucas Croon.

An established producer for over a decade, with a releases for a myriad of respected labels like ESP Institute, Crème Organisation, Hivern Discs, Live At Robert Johnson and Serious Trouble, plus Frey’s own excellent R.I.O Records that is quickly becoming label to watch, it’s pleasure he joins Emotional Response with a fresh, but respectful remake.

Alongside PiL Ltd, Joy Division were the ultimate post punk band, the music, design and untimely passing of lead signer Ian Curtis, creating a mystique around the band that survives today. Opening their second, and final, album Unknown Pleasure, the song is a big part of their history. Frey’s version – with secret vocalist Carla Koller – offer a wide-screen retake, the dub bass and modulated snare wrap around lyrics, while haunting guitar adds to an unease.

Starting with a classic, but perfect Vocal Mix, there is an accompanying Instrumental that together highlight a propulsion and incessant groove, allowing the space between to herald the production’s beauty.

This is backed with a live remake by Lucas Croon. A label fan since his appearances in Stabil Elite, BAR and The Kloom, this Dusseldorf fraternity member continues Emotional Response’s long-standing association with the city. With celebrated releases on Aiwo Recs and Themes From Great Cities, his fireside remix begins as some dub-psyche odyssey before morphing in to a steppas-delight rock out that will capture the open ears and minds.

To close, Frey returns with his own Dub. Possibly the EP’s stand-out, this half step remix sucks the listener to the spaces between, as vocals dissipate and collapse within, bass bins distorting to distraction, the pull of a true and worthy dub symphony.
