Art is vehicle for the artists' expression of their feelings and ideas. It also serves as means of expression for everyone else as well. One cannot conceive of a society without art, for art is closely related to every aspect of life.
This collective experience defines the Proper Function.
It’s a must!

Terra - Part 1 - Night Falls

Berlin-based DJ Vera presents a new ambient project entitled ‘Terra’. Consisting of three individual chapters, Terra is a musical audio play that tells the story of a night in the rainforest. Paying homage to dear planet Earth, mother nature’s unmistakeable beauty and endless peculiarities come rising to the fore. 

A sprawling journey into the great unknown, each mix takes the listener progressively through a myriad of wild and liminal spaces. Spanning all corners of ambient, avant garde, and experimental electronics, to ethno, Jazz, and beyond, Terra lavishes everything from moments of quiet introspection, spacey drones, chugging beats, hypnotic rhythms and select climactic peaks. 

Carefully woven together as a multi-dimensional tapestry of sound, scenes transition gradually between environments, moods, and states. As the night progresses, forms shift endlessly under moonlit sky, and subtle shades of every kind make their stroke before the sun breaks free once again. 

An intoxicating trip through dense jungle paths, untouched rivers and deep mountain valleys, we dive headfirst into Vera’s kaleidoscopic world of unusual creatures and bewitching natural phenomena. Uncovering the weird, forgotten, and mysterious, Terra invites the listener to co-create the rainforest as an imagined space and to discover the storyteller within. 

Terra started as an earnest musical exploration, but through collaboration and further development Vera hopes to unlock its greater potential as a communal arts platform and ongoing multidisciplinary project. With this audio play as the starting point, who knows what the next chapters will bring...

Part 1 premiers on Experiment Intrinsic (14 July), following with part 2 on EOS (16 July) and part 3 on Input Selector (19 July). Follow each part to catch the unfolding story as it's released.

GH003 brings you Priku.

Adrian Niculae a.k.a. Priku established himself as a hard working and passionate music creator. He is a member of Sunrise booking since 2007, making his way up to the big gigs through many noticeable Sunwaves performances. 

He released on labels such as [a:rpia:r], All Inn, Fabric, Concrete Music and Only 300 Family, his name is also on Cocoon Green & Blue 2011 and Cocoon Heroes compilations. 

Throughout he can be seen playing in many important clubs and parties around the world, including Robert Johnson, Amnesia, Kazantip Festival, Tenax, Concrete, all across Europe and as far as the Americas. 

In 2012, Bobohalma Ep was released on [a:rpia:r] label. This was a resounding success, highly appreciated by his colleagues in the industry as well as the general public. 

2013 is a turning point for Priku. He creates his own label: Motif and releases a new solo – Acoustic Ep under his real name, Adrian Niculae, the name that’s also present on Fabric 72. 

Priku's achievements came when still relatively young proving to be extremely talented, when we look at him we can see this sweet and delicate face, however, when we listen to his music, especially his live performances - by definition presenting the core of his identity musically – we call him the “king of basslines”, there is a somewhat adorable contradiction here, sweet face vs dark and very strong music, in the best way possible. That element of surprise and this contradiction makes him an even more fascinating artist. 

In 2016 started a new label and series of parties called Atipic, party by which we hold a residency at Guesthouse. This set is an extract of his set at Atipic at the club in March 2019.

Happy Listening!

All copies of the record have now sold out. Digital copies are now available from our Bandcamp - https://buttersideup.bandcamp.com

Butter Side Up Records keeps up its early momentum with another standout EP, this time from Parisian beat maker Sweely. Of course, the 12" once again comes with artwork by Sophie Doulala and expertly explores a mix of heady and spaced out grooves. Private Navigation is an EP prime for plenty of classy dance floor adventures. Artwork by Sophia Douala

BSU003: Sweely - Private Navigation EP

To sit in space, to be in peace and drift outside of time, is the gift of sonic experience. Like opening up a book of sounds, Shõen narrates a story that is just as much about wonder and expansion, as it is fragility and introspection. Captured by its feeling of freedom and subtle qualities, once the door to the boundless world of ambient opened up to him he began to look for ways in which sound can be used to uplift and revitalise the mind and body. 

Dimensions of emotion blossom open like the first flower of Spring - engulfed by the constant processes of death, rebirth, resistance, and yielding, it flows together like a verdant tonic for the soul. Bearing witness to the sequences of passages, they open and close like distant passing scenes. The sky turns blue and purple, the quiet moon folds into itself on the face of the lake, and unknown constellations above watch down with a knowing light.
