Tristesse Contemporaine - I Do What I Want (Capablanca vs Moscoman Version)

This is my album Belief. I think it's one of the better grunge albums ever out there. What do you think?

How to Eat Real Meat

Out on the 19th of September @pin-up-club remix of @flvnfr  on @nightnoisemusic

We were massive fans of the original and immediately in love with this great remix from fellow Amsterdammers the Pin Up Club.

--------

A mix full of energy and strength. We are presented with a most distinctive and interesting harmony played by the two voices of the synths. The rhythm and pace are a moving mechanism, contagious by its on nature. The influence of the sun, bounded to a masculine feature, leads the mix, crowned by a distorted electric guitar which suspends us in time, as if floating,  with bold and charming sharpness, before the big release that leads to the final crescendo. A crescendo that works its way subtly, so we can’t be fully aware of its advance and comfortably be taken by its driving will.

[Emotional] Especial returns in 2018 after a supremely quiet 2017 as batteries were recharged and life happened.   In mind is the introduction of new duo, Weird Weather and their debut EP, Bamboo Room.  Slotting perfectly in the label family with 4 cuts covering dark basement club music through to calmer, balmier moments. 

LJ Horstman and D Thornley, conjoined metal nerds from opposite ends of the London suburbs who bonded over love of dub mixes, create Weird Weather. This debut collects tracks from four years of jamming, constructing, dubbing and re-dubbing. Cheap synths played with strict finger musicianship; deep bass over 4/4, clattering Roland drum boxes and analogue pads and submerged vocals calling out over the noise of the digital Coffee Maker.
 
Full spectrum of influences are apparent for the heads with nods to Yello, Jah Shaka and the Horn “Megamixes” of Frankie Goes To Hollywood and ZTT alumini – all go in the dub blender with a slug of 80s rock bombast.  4 demos passed down and the mixing desk homeboy honing of Mr TJ Fairplay and Jamie Paton are drafted in for good measure.

To start, Sequence 5 is a one-take body-music desk dub.  The relentless riding rhythms and faint harmonics pull you to the floor in unknown fashion.  Trash Dolphin follows as an aquatic New-Wave meets NY-house in-joke that went too far.  Sample bits out the window to reach nirvana.  

Taking the flip is Bamboo Room.  A sub 90 bpm, euphoric mind-melter for the post Ambient House generation.   The true winner with tranquil(ity) bass and psychedelic (research) lab trip shifts.  Seamlessly completed with the poolside ‘Ormus Mix’ for the suave recliners.  Thanks to Eric Dan for phantom support via the LCD screen. Onwards and upwards.

B1. Weird Weather - Bamboo Room

As excitement builds for this year's Convenanza Festival, the event curated by Bernie Fabre and Andrew Weatherall, Höga Nord get set to release a compilation celebrating the artists performing at this years . Among the performers are Komodo Kolektif.  Having been featured on Weatherall's NTS show Music's not for Everyone the Glasgow collective are heading out to Carcasonne to woo the crowds with their unique brand of Cosmic live instrumentation and no doubt the centrepiece will be Daratan Ceremony, a track which straddles the line between Etnofunk and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Tabla sounding drums underpin distorted wind chimes, growling thick bass in a track which in another dimension would be the theme for a warped wildlife documentary series about humans, no doubt being watched by ants or some other dominant technologically advanced species.  Members of the band have released solo on Optimo and Invisible, Inc. and along with several other sometime members have melded live instrumentation with machinery musically in the same way that body horror director David Kronenburg has on film.
Höga Nord's association with Andrew Weatherall continues to be fruitful with this fantastic sampler heading into the weirder and slightly more Cosmic edges of electronic music.

Gever Amiti Ft Gabriel Broid (MR TC Remix)

"Garbanotas" a.k.a. "Garbanotas Bosistas" (The Curly One) is a Lithuanian neo-psychedelia rock and indie folk rock band which started playing in 2008. Every show of the band witnesses the miracle of dreamy neo-kraut-psychedelic flowers growing out of the amplifiers. In order to transfer bits of this miracle on the club dancefloors 6 remixes were created by present and new "Partyzanai Pop" label artists. Lithuanian based artists:  Konsistent, Black Feeling, Ement, Bleach Cult, Shkema and Patris took diverse approaches to the songs from the album “Room For You”.
We are happy to represent amazing remix from Konsistent for a track -  „Should Your Name Be Love“. This is not the first time we share colorful Konsistent's creation on our channel!

Pre- Order

PRÉMIÈRE: Garbanotas -  "Should Your Name Be Love" (Konsistent's Cosmic Mix) [Partyzanai Pop]

Man is not a nature, he does not tolerate emptiness. Once he get in the void, he seeks to fill it. He fills it with visions and imaginary sounds, if not able to fill it with something real. And sometimes the result is absolutely wonderful.
Founded by Sacha Mambo and Guillaume Des Bois, Macadam Mambo is an unpredictable label from Lyon, active for more than 7 years. This new release confirms its impeccable and eclectic taste and vision to the music - brilliant blend of cosmic krautrock, experimental rock, psychedelic road trip into the mind of Ashinoa, band project leaded by Chris Poincelot aka Abschaum. Something that could be the perfect soundtrack for a desertical road trip, or in the middle of a dark forest, or maybe while driving fast, but anyway to be listened really loud. Vinyl and digital release, out on April 29th.

PREMIERE | Ashinoa - Katy Pane [Macadam Mambo] 2019

London residing, Franco-Canadian Chloé Raunet aka C.A.R. has been immersed in the world of post-punk, cold wave and her own brand of off-kilter synth-pop since the days fronting her band Battant. Playful, machine-driven and dark, C.A.R.’s music travels between glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop, all emanating from a self-confessed crush on too many genres.

This is the first new material to emerge from Raunet under her C.A.R. moniker since last year’s triumphant and critically acclaimed PINNED album - her first outing on Ransom Note Records. Growing with confidence and maturity with every release, her output continues to expand in both ambition and depth, exploring the outer reaches of left of centre pop.
Taking on the mantle of producer, singer, and songwriter once again, Pressure Drop sees her delve deeper into the shimmering, layered world of synth-laden, shoegaze electronics she’s been hinting at on previous outings

In the loneliness…

“Pressure…. Drops.”
We’ve kept the remix action short but sweet this time around - i.e. not 14 remixes of one record.
Uber remixer extraordinaire Suzanne Kraft re-treats Raunet’s vocals, twisting the track into a brooding, bubbling, late-night, dance floor thing of beauty.

“Stop my heart it runs ahead, like a dog it barks, roll over, play dead.”

Second original track on the EP ‘Suture’ sees her explore the further depths of Raunet’s soul, refining her palette with glimmering, claustrophobic electronics.

This new material - packed with intricate left turns and tiny details flickering away at the edge of hearing - has been mixed by Daniel Avery collaborator Ghost Culture and mastered by Keith ‘Radioactive Man’ Tenniswood

Taking on the mantle of producer, singer, and songwriter once again, Pressure Drop sees her delve deeper into the shimmering, layered world of synth-laden, shoegaze electronics she’s been hinting at on previous outings.

Pressure Drop

He dragged his feet along the ground, kicking up the stones underfoot. It wasn't the outcome he'd hoped for, he thought he'd come out on top. For weeks he'd been planning how to win her over and sweep her off her feet. But it was too little too late. He'd waited too long and now she'd slipped through his fingers. He wished he had somebody else to blame...

In all the excitement of announcing C.A.R.'s second album on Ransom Note Records, we overlooked the incredible remix of 'Sore Loser' from Manie Sans Délire's Trenton Chase. Stripping back most of the vocals, he morphs the track into a hypnotic wave cut, propped up by driving synth lines. Crossing Prior Street will be released on 27th March with further remixes from the likes of Radioactive Man, Trenton Chase and Anna Wall...

Choosing... Acronyms... Randomly ...
‘Layered, fascinating and irresistible’ - DJ Mag

‘Astonishingly accomplished … Many influences are on display, but C.A.R. connects them in a way uniquely hers.’ - Electronic Sound

C.A.R. (Choosing Acronyms Randomly) is a musical project conceived by Chloé Raunet, a multi-faceted creative living in London. Her self-confessed crush on too many genres results in a unique blend of glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop. 

Following three albums on iconic, queer Parisian label Kill The DJ and UK’s Ransom Note, the live act now consists of herself and Joni Green. This latest combination champions female empowerment, injecting fresh energy and hype into the show. Together, they are building a reputation for pulsing, magnetic, sweaty and unforgettable performances. 

December marked another excursion into uncharted territory with the release ‘avant pop masterpiece’, Anzu. More new songs are tricking their way into the set, and C.A.R.'s next LP is on the near horizon.

A fan of the weirder edges of electronic music, Chloé also DJs and hosts the monthly 'On The Slip Road' show on NTS Radio.
