Release info:
Ethno Service, a moniker for two electronic musicians based in Prague, are here with their debut long-player ‘NMA’. Released via LBD Sounds tape series, it comprises six masterfully crafted original compositions and a couple of remixes, including an uneasy jungle rework by Exhausted Modern’s new alias Oblaka and a spaced-out ambient escapism remix by voodoo priestess Lucie aka Avsluta. It’s not an easy listening affair, broken and sometimes unnerving rhythms blended with duo’s uniquely moody atmosphere, ever morphing and taking you places you didn’t even know existed. Expect percussion-heavy tracks on a lower side of bpm spectrum. You may dive into this album horizontally, or try to find out if it’s still danceable. Is it? Sure it is!

PARAL·LEL MEMORIES:

September 2, 2022, was not just any regular date. It was the day we were ready to head to the mountains.

We remember as if it was yesterday, especially during the lockdown (early 2020) when, with a drink in the right hand and a cigarrete in the left, we were sharing videos of Paral·lel on full-size-screen when we were taking a rest from curating .apart (digging music and reciving huge artists deliveries with its corresponding attentive listening). That was our happy daily routine. 

Continuing with Paral·lel, the family reunion that was breathed on those vids could be smelled through the screen. It was that kind of "made in Spain festival" with exquisite care. And we were not wrong!

Once assisted, finally there in real life...(sights)…the experience was highly gratifying. This community of honest people and the music itself reaffirmed why we persist on this. 

As we did with ‘primeras piedras’, we want to share with you some music. This time, some bits and memories captured with our handy-recorders on those days. Scored and processed after with our gear. A way to say thank you.

GET IN THE POBOTRON ! w/ Poborsk (08.09.2023)

Format: CD
Pre-order: 12th January 2024
Release date: 19th January 2024

On November 5, 2022, Daniel Carter and Stefan Christoff improvised together at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Brooklyn, a community space, with strong connections to migrant justice activism, that is also a temporary home for many newly arrived asylum seekers some of whom sat to listen to the musical exchange. 
This session was the first encounter between Carter and Christoff that resulted in musical explorations. Remaining from this session were a couple of audio fragments which Christoff shared with a network of musicians globally who remixed and reimagined them. In Astronomy is the resulting album.
Thank you to Leina Bocar for helping to arrange the recording space, to Devin Brahja Waldman for helping to facilitate the connection with Daniel Carter, to Juan Carlos Ruiz at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for welcoming this project, to Jessie Stein for hosting me in NY on the weekend of this session and to all the awesome participating artists!

Colliding Bubbles (surface tension and release) - 28:50
Composed by Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard, 2022

Quatuor Bozzini:
Alissa Cheung, violin I + harmonica (G) Clemens Merkel, violin II + harmonica (G) Stéphanie Bozzini, viola + harmonica (C) Isabelle Bozzini, cello + harmonica (C)

Colliding Bubbles (surface tension and release) is a composition for string quartet and harmonica quartet, meaning that Quatuor Bozzini is playing string instruments while playing harmonicas.

"The title refers to different kinds of bubbly matter which are set to collide within the composition, leading to different ruptures and possible release of surface tension.
The collision of bubbles unfolds partly in relation to sound, where small fluctuations appear in the encounters between harmonicas and string instruments and partly in relation to a more performative or conceptual bubble where instruments representing different systems, or bubbles, will collide; the very celebrated instruments within the classical string quartet and the perhaps more prosaic harmonica."  - Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard

This release was made possible with generous support from Augustinus Fonden, The Danish Conductors Association & The Danish Composers’ Society.

This release has been supported by Conseil des arts lettres du Québec

Childhood Nostalgia

live at Caos Club, Cusco, Peru (extract) - 1st June 2018

"While the Coronavirous lockdown made many things impossible or infinitely more difficult and painful, it also opened up an unprecedented space to think, to reflect and to work in ways that the usual pressures deny. 

On March 17th David Toop and Lucie Stepankova were due to play in a trio with Yifeat Ziv at Café Oto; then on April 9ththey were also booked to play at Iklectik as a duo. Both gigs were cancelled, of course, because of the virus. In support of Iklectik, Lucie and David agreed to record a track together in the only way possible, by exchanging files and passing mixes back and forth across the aether. The feeling of working on this first track was positive so they decided to make a mini-album. One of the elements from the first track was a reading by Lucie of a passage from Kenya Hara’s book, On White, and this preoccupation with colour became a theme for the whole project. Other tracks were inspired by the writings of Himla af Klint on mystical blue, Hokusai on shades of black, François Jullien on the six colours of Chinese ink and Cees Noteboom on the yellow/orange hue of a ceramic bowl. 

Jullien wrote of a transition from ‘physical concretion to spirit dimension’, according to the dilution of the ink. This is how these tracks felt as they emerged between April and June of extraordinary times. When the album was finished it seemed fitting to offer it to Café Oto in a gesture of support and hopefulness for the future of London’s key venues. 

David Toop and Lucie Stepankova have previously played in duos at Café Oto, Iklectik and at the Jhilava documentary film festival. They have also played in trios with Yifeat Ziv at Hundred Years Gallery, Tania Caroline Chen at Iklectik and John Butcher at Hangar Bicocca, Milan." - David & Lucie

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
