waitng waitng and yes the real James Holden is here! \m/

You can hear how His Majesty The Universal Chaos wheezes and moans in many ways: by listening to the sounds made by a plastic bag from «Pyaterochka» grocery store, while it picked up by a harsh March wind, or just by turning on the Vampiro mix for 5/8: radio.

Vampiro is the spirit of the city of Odintsovo, a collector of obscure melodies, a maker of mixes (after which we are forced to take sedatives) and just our dearest friend.

Following his debut album in 2021, Aroma von Troisdorf makes a welcome return to Papercup Records with a new project, entitled ‘Buttergolem’.

With his self-titled debut album back in October of 2021, German producer Aroma von Troisdorf introduced the world to his amalgamation of styles which encapsulate influence from cosmic disco, post punk, Italo, dub, ambient, electronica and much more, delivered in a way that is uniquely his. Here following on from the acclaimed album he returns once again to the Steddy & Keshavara helmed Papercup Records, based out of Berlin/Cologne, to take listeners deeper into his sonic world.


Leading the way on the release is ‘Kaffeebar Andromeda’, a heavily dub influenced opener employing swaying sub bass, spiralling echoes, spooky metallic chimes, modulating resonant synth lines and organic drums. ‘Nils Kamerun’ follows next and edges things into new age realms courtesy of multilayered, dreamy synth textures and meditative vocal chants before the latter half of the composition introduces a chuggy electronic groove.

Title-track ‘Buttergolem’ is up next and sees Aroma von Troisdorf fuse murky bass stabs, 80’s tinged synth melodies and arpeggios and punk influenced vocal lines with a gritty, swinging drum machine workout. The cinematic Nullnacht from the debut album makes a reappearance here for the vinyl release (formerly only available on tape). ‘Gabionentraum’ then rounds out the project, nodding towards Italo disco and early 90’s Italo house via ethereal pad lines, twinkling stab sequences, squelchy acid bass licks and crunchy 4/4 drums.

Taken from "Secret Circuit - Green Mirror LP (Invisible, Inc.)". Out April 10th 2023. Buy here : https://secretcircuit.bandcamp.com/album/green-mirror

Very pleased to announce that after some very long delays the long-awaited double album of new music by Secret Circuit is finally landing next month.

The album is comprised of 21 tracks of new material, 82 minutes of music, all gleaned and distilled down from around 60 demos recorded between 2020 and 2022.

Some of these demos were sent under the name E Ruscha V, others as Only Thingz, but Invisible Inc wanted to capture a sound of Ruscha's that was outside of these in some way: a sound somewhere between the cosmic, otherworldy music of Secret Circuit and the warmer, earthier music of E Ruscha V and the ambient side of Only Thingz, yet which tried to capture both the more emotive AND more experimental side of this prolific and extremely talented producer. A paradox perhaps but it seems we've managed it. Very rarely do we hear modular synths doing something so human sounding... and when juxtaposed alongside slide guitars, live bass and vocodered vocals, we have something very special indeed. Needless to say, it seemed 100% appropriate to release this music under the Secret Circuit name.
A highpoint for the label in 2023, no doubt.
___________

The album comes housed in a full colour reverse board sleeve featuring original artwork by Eddie Ruscha and comes with a colour double-sided insert with liner notes (written in reverse so you'll need a mirror to read them, of course) and more of Eddie's drawing.
Vinyl costs are extremely high at the moment, due to materials going up in price, but we will try and have this special package retailing for as low as possible to make this affordable for as many as possible...namely just £24 (you'll see single disc LP's selling for this price these days).

Golden Fluoride

PREMIERE : Secret Circuit - Golden Fluoride (Invisible, Inc)

An intriguing and revealing hypnotic immersion from the enigmatic duo https://soundcloud.com/juna_musik.

"Archetipo" explores the landscapes of the unconscious.
The word "persona" in Latin means mask: thus the personality, the scenery of the ego, is transformed into a theatre of archetypal images, merging word and music, like a rhetorical figure, a synesthesia. The aesthetic-musical research is a poetic-sound journey into the psyche, to tell and celebrate it.

On October, 20, 2017, analog Electronica / Shoegaze duo Aris Kindt will release their second album, Swann and Odette on Francis Harris’ new imprint Kingdoms.
While this record seamlessly picks up where their first record (2015’s Flood) leaves off, the sonic palette is dee- per, the grooves more sparse and the melodic content allowed more room to seep deep within a mix so trans- parent as to feel nonexistent. This is heady, opulent stuff, immaculately produced and cunningly arranged ways that sidesteps easy classification without sacrificing ac- cessibility and authentic feeling.
Aris Kindt is the collaborative project of guitarist Gabe Hedrick and Francis Harris (Scissor and Thread). Harris has previously released the Albums Leland (2012) and Minutes of Sleep (2014), both of which have been sited “for (their) extensive use of live instruments, a contrasting feature to his work done before” (last.fm, 2016). To this formula Hedrick adds his own sonic signature in ana- log-effects laden electric guitar. Collectively the album swells and hums to create a seamless interplay of ana- log synths and otherwordly musical notations cast loose from their origins.

To book Holden & Zimpel, please speak to Naomi at Earth Agency: https://earth-agency.com/

Our resident synth wizard James Holden’s collaborative streak continues apace as he teams up with celebrated Polish clarinet guru Waclaw Zimpel for a four track EP of deliciously krauty in-the-moment improvisations, recorded over four days in Holden’s London studio back in the summer of 2018. The richly textured 'Long Weekend EP' pits Holden’s handmade modular synth rig against Zimpel’s multifariously expressive alto clarinet, judiciously supplemented by organ, voice, assorted percussion and (on 'Tuesday' & 'Wednesday') the Balearic-tinged guitar playing of Zimpel’s long-time collaborator Jakub Ziolek, making for an immersive and transcendent lost weekend of deep listening.

Finding himself at a loose end in London one July weekend in between UK live shows, Zimpel put the downtime to good use and joined Holden in his Sacred Walls studio to undertake a series of musical experiments, with the goal of completing one track per day. Over the course of the weekend, built up in sequential tape-layered live overdubs, first the lush hypnotic undulating noodles of 'Saturday' would emerge from the ether, followed by the rushy enveloping expanses of the stridently emotional 'Sunday' (Holden’s own personal favourite from the EP) – a productive two days indeed.
