Released on March 10, 2023 (P) and (C) Bytes 2023

Three stunning remixes from Pattern Recognition, the 2021 album (and UK album dance chart #1) from GLOK, the electronic alter ego of Andy Bell from shoegaze legends Ride. The remixes were completed by different artists at different times, but these kindred spirits have produced a trio of tracks that come together with a righteous symbiosis that Lord Sabre himself would have revelled in. 

First up, Sean Johnston (A Love from Outer Space) and Duncan Gray (Tici Taci), in their Hardway Bros meets Monkton Uptown guise, deliver a monstrous dub version of That Time of Night. While the original was a luxurious electro groover, this remix will make speaker stacks crumble to dust with its immense bassline and seismic effects, while Shiarra’s intoned vocals seem to come at you from another dimension entirely.

Next up, Richard Sen returns to GLOK remixing duty, tasked once again with turning one of Andy’s sprawling 20-minute album openers (he did the job on Dissident last time out) into a relatively concise number perfect for the nation’s dancefloors and rave tents. Richard never disappoints and he repeats the trick by taking Dirty Hugs to the Krautrock-disco, setting some of Andy’s delicious guitar licks over a propulsive, hypnotic groove. 

Last but by no means least Tom Sharkett, guitarist with Manchester synthpoppers WH Lung, has channeled the ALFOS chug into his throbbing re-version of album closer Invocation. Tom has recently been signed to Optimo Music and his remix would easily slot into one of Johnny and Keith’s epic, eclectic DJ sets.

Eclectic East London-based artist Marek Kubala enjoys experimenting in different styles, including folk, indie-pop, shoegaze and post-punk. Hailing from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Marek has received critical acclaim over the past 18 months, with releases on Outpost and EMI Publishing (KPM), and featured on BBC Introducing, Mystic Sons, CLOUT, Americana UK, Amazing Radio, amongst others.
Most recently, Marek's alt-pop belter 'Fault Lines' appeared on hit BBC1 comedy show 'Cheaters' (Clerkenwell Films), broadcast in February 2022, sharing the soundtrack with the likes of Metronomy , Jungle, Biig Piig and Holy Fuck.
Marek's debut EP 'Awhile', fused the progressive electronics of Air with the acoustic subtleties of Elliot Smith and Nick Drake. The followup single 'Fault Lines' marked a change in direction, with Marek adopting a more upbeat lo-fi indie sound with quirky electronics thrown in.
'Ramjam' is an energetic punky belter of a track - or more like three separate songs merged into one - with echoes of Ariel Pink and Nirvana. Distorted guitars, electronic drums and Marek's gnarly vocal create a compelling, aggressive momentum which hardly lets up for 2 minutes 40 seconds. Marek says: "The lyrics are actually about a very famous partnership in popular music history, particularly when things weren't so good between the two of them. I was thinking about it a lot at one point. There's a few clues in the lyrics for those in the know".
The EP also contains one original track two club remixes one of out choise 'Ramjam' by Mytron (Multi Culti, Les Yeux Orange, Razor N Tape) lets loose with a characteristic slow-burning psychedelic quirky house mix, with hints of krautrock. Newcomer Telegrafix provides a fun eclectic nu-electroclash remix, with echoes of early Soulwax, the DFA imprint and Donna Summer.

Gegenwelt (Parallel World) is the second LP by CEL, a duo Kubin and Zemler formed. More melodically-evolved than their eponymous 2020 debut, it is an even more explicit example of the syncretic impulse that impelled these guys to form the band. Their basic notion was to explore the juncture between two streams of German underground sounds -- the Motorik 4/4 rhythms first posited by Can's Jaki Liebezeit and Kraftwerk's Klaus Dinger, and the sequencer-driven brain loops of early, experimental pioneers of the NDW, such as der Plan.

Tracklist:

01. Tokamak
02. Rompecristales
03. Eiweißangriff
04. Gegenwelt
05. Trippeltanz
06. Flucht zum Mars
07. Geometrischer Glanz

Trippeltanz

PREMIERE: CEL (Felix Kubin & Hubert Zemler) - Trippeltanz [Bureau B]

Her huge bay window felt like a porthole to the entire world. From here she could see everything; the towering skyscrapers that seemed to stretch beyond the clouds, the trees in shades of green, white and pink rustling in the soft afternoon breeze, and in the distance, the sea and the mountains promising an escape from the urban jungle. She watched the people go about their days - watched them argue and make up, greet and bid each other goodbye, stumble and fall, race and disappear - How funny that one window gave a view of so much life....

After a long and chaotic journey to completion, Invisible Inc have finally released Secret Circuit's double LP, Green Mirror, into the world. Almost two years in the making, the album sees the return of the project of LA native and audiovisual artist Edward Ruscha V following two EPs on the imprint in 2016 and 2018. Known for his music under several different bands, projects, guises and collaborations over the years, he's a dab hand at meandering in all kinds of directions, but on this release he focuses on balancing emotion and experimentalism, creating a collection of 21 pieces that bounce between the cosmic, the ambient, the otherworldly and the off-kilter. This is music for the open minded.

PREMIERE: Secret Circuit - Phasor MD [Invisible Inc]

Canadian label Breathing Room Records is back with their third digital release after a lengthy pandemic-related hiatus. A little over two years after their previous outing, they are happy to introduce Tropica, a duo from Newcastle, UK. Forest Floor is their debut EP and it includes three original tracks as well as a remix from Toronto-based producer and DJ, Ciel. This is the first remix in Breathing Room’s catalogue.

All three originals are slow and chuggy. Monstera Deliciosa, the opening track, is driven by warm chords and a wobbly synth line while a siren-esque pad weaves in and out. Birds of Paradise continues on a similar wavelength but dives a little further into acid territory with its lead and stays true to its name with different birds contributing to the overall ambience. Devil’s Ivy is a little darker in tone with it’s delayed pads, a didgeridoo and haunting scream-like samples permeating throughout. Ciel’s take on Monstera Deliciosa stays true to the original but introduces a juxtaposing, almost playful lead and tougher percussion, giving the track a faster, bouncier feel.

Electroacoustic duo JESSE and their extended collective is making a comeback of some sorts. Having been integral part of Finnish electronic music community for 15 years now, they are releasing a new album called Descend. Produced by the band together with Berliner DJ Sotofett, the record is a voyage to the depths of microcosmos of our minds. Warm and fuzzy grooves bending into a mindmelting buzz of swampy ambient. JESSE has always been a group that is musically on a constant search and mutation, Descend is a record that once more defines their edge and can be seen as a follow up to their 2017 record Twotinos (released on Keys Of Life).

PREMIERE: JESSE - Juno Sway [Haista]

What initially began as a weekend break had snowballed into a three month extended stay and a whole new world of unforgettable experiences and close friendships. She couldn't put her finger on what exactly drew her to this place, made her not want to leave and return to her old boring life, it was more a feeling than something you could put into words. It felt like home here, it was as simple as that. 

Following a full long player on his own bORDEL imprint last year, Sebastien Chenut returns under his NEWEM guide for a brand new track featuring the vocal stylings of Prudence. The French producer, who also makes up one half of Scratch Massive alongside fellow bORDEL boss Maud Geffray, fashions an indie dance cut that's packed with emotion and cosmic touches, before passing the mantle to a roster of his contemporaries who put their own spin on the original. There's two reworks from the partnership of DJ Heidi Lawden and producer Hein Hoven under the moniker Heidi Höven, a trippy, crunchy dub from Dave Aju, a celestial remix from Blaacon, rounded off with a retro take from Glasgow’s Soft Riot.

PREMIERE: NEWEM - Feels Like Home ft Prudence (Dave Aju’s Dub) [bORDEL Records]

Operatic synth-pop - like Grace Jones singing minimal wave in a Chicago house.

Once upon a time, in a mystical land, there existed a hidden realm known as Eine Welt. This enchanting realm was home to extraordinary beings with magical abilities. Among them was a legendary group called 700WET, renowned for their music and captivating performances.

One fateful evening, the moonlit sky above Eine Welt shimmered with an ethereal glow as the members of 700WET prepared for their most daring endeavour yet. Their latest creation, titled “Dare You” held the promise of unleashing a power unlike anything ever witnessed before.
 

Led by their visionary leader, Marja Christians, and accompanied by the musical prowess of Cid Hohner, the group embarked on a quest to capture the essence of courage and challenge the limits of their own creativity. The song would be a tribute to the unyielding spirit of adventure.
 

700WET is an art-pop project by Marja Christians and Cid Hohner – the perfect blend of synth-pop and operatic vocals. Their ‘Lovers-Dance’ sound combines elements of80s, dub and house, reminiscent of Grace Jones singing minimal wave in a Chicago house.

Inspired by the feminist power of erotica, their latest release “Gimme Love” which houses this beauty we premiere here is out on May 15, 2023, under the Eine Welt label.
