Driftless Ambient 1:  CFCF- Prisma

Story
Yamai, Guardian of the Waters
In ancient times, when the islands of Vanuatu still conversed with the winds and volcanoes slumbered beneath coral swells, lived a man named Yamai. He was no ordinary man. It was said that his soul was intertwined with the ocean, and that under the full moon he could transform into a shark, swashbuckling the waters with obsidian eyes and fins like obsidian blades.
Yamai was born of a sacred union between an island woman and the spirit of the deep sea. From childhood, he heard voices in the waves, learned the secrets of the currents, and swam with the sharks as if they were brothers. But his destiny was not simply to swim: it was to protect.
When pirates arrived with fire and nets, Yamai emerged from the abyss like a whirlwind of scales and fury. The waters turned black, and the invaders vanished without a trace. From then on, the islanders knew that Yamai was not just a man, but a guardian spirit.
Every dawn, the fishermen left offerings on the shore: shells, flowers, and songs. Before setting sail, they murmured his name to the wind, asking for protection. Some said they had seen him swimming alongside their canoes; others claimed he guided them to schools of fish when hunger gnawed at them.
But Yamai didn't only protect from human threats. When storms raged and reefs became deadly traps, his shark-like silhouette emerged from the waves, guiding lost boats to safe waters. His presence was a sign of balance: between man and sea, between fear and faith.
Today, although motors have replaced oars and maps have replaced the stars, the fishermen of Vanuatu still respect Yamai. In their nighttime songs, in the stories told around the fire, his name lives on like an ancestral echo.
Because as long as there is a sea, there will be Yamai.

Yamai II

A noir-tinged Revolutionary War song-cycle about Agent 355—known more by a number than a name. Through candlelit rooms, coded manners, and quiet exchanges, a woman gathers what cannot be spoken and sends it onward in plain sight. The album leans into what history confirms, what it hints at, and what it leaves blank—honoring the unseen work that shaped outcomes without claiming applause. It closes from a present-day perspective, urging listeners to carry that same steady courage forward.

Medlar Mix for Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW 1039)

French composer, producer, writer and singer Bertrand Burgalat is one of those very rare artists who have roam the whole pop world with great poise, humility and elegance. If you have never heard of him, this mix is probably the best mean to cease his genius aura. "Made of things of the past and contemporary things of the past that could have been made in the past", as he describes it, this 30 minutes long mix transcribes his retro yet powerfully modern taste. Something to remember where every music comes from.

"Reveur" 7" by Nathalie Letertre ‎on Titan France, 1986   👋

"FRENCH CASSETTE" - new LP OUT NOW ! 
Bandcamp: https://souleance.bandcamp.com/album/french-cassette
Itunes/Spotify: https://kud.li/fw189

First Word Records is proud to present a new full-length project from Souleance ! Following on from 2013’s acclaimed "La Beat Tape", the Parisian duo return for 2019 with "French Cassette".
As well as the recent single "François / Sète" (both included), we have 25 new tracks dedicated to all things Français. This mixtape opus is a true labour of love; A French voyage through time and genres, as Soulist and FULGEANCE like to do. Each track is purposefully named after various French clichés; characteristics, phrases and places. You’ll excuse our French, and check those out for yourselves..
"French Cassette" is comprised of an array of noises from various French composers; from boogie, to jazz, to sound libraries, to chansons. Cinematically sultry sounds, with a lot of funk; where Brigitte Fontaine meets François de Roubaix in a back alley somewhere near the film set of "Calmos", whilst pumping out the soundtrack to La Haine. 
A little moody, a little sexy, a little rough around the edges.
Whilst the film noir-esque interludes accentuate the theme, Souleance’s unmistakable grooves ride throughout, with a symphony of synths and scratches, beats and basslines. This is undeniably, unashamedly a celebration. Boom bap and breaks, all flavoured with a healthy layer of “je ne sais quoi”.
The first single received love from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, Jazzanova, Huey Morgan, Bill Brewster, Kev Beadle, Hector Plimmer, Red Rack'em (Rinse FM), Thristian (Worldwide FM) and Chris P Cuts (NTS). Meanwhile, the duo recently spun special sessions for Laid Back and Le Mellotron, as well as their numerous DJ sets and live shows across Europe, and recently self-releasing another mixtape tribute, dedicated to the late great Galt McDermot, and featured on Okayplayer & Radio Nova. The Souleance saga continues. Vive la France!!
"French Cassette" will be available on limited edition cassette & on all digital platforms.

Musique Large’s back with a brand new compilation. “LARGE 2020” invites nowadays electronic  nest musicians and extended family from across the electronic music scene to create a unique insight into Musique Large sound.
There’s the underground sound of Germany’s Scherbe, french lil’ genius Pura Pura with an exclusive banger for his  rst imprint on Musique Large, King Knut from Norway drops two dope beats, plus the craziness of Joe Howe aka Ben Butler & Mousepad, homeboys Baron Rétif & Concepcion Perez, alone or together, with their own brilliant style.
A great pleasure to welcome newcomers like Josip Klobucar drumming hard in a “Gaslamp Killer” way, the surprising XXXIII with some uptempo wonky magic or family member VECT «sexy» as always.
No Music Large release is complete without the boss Fulgeance: here he delivers two tracks taking in Detroit-style electronic-beats and heavy house  avours plus an exclusive comeback from his much-missed Peter Digital Orchestra alias as well his new side project called TITRE (a collab with XXXIII) coming soon on Musique Large .
Bene ts will go to “BLACK LIVES MATTER”. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019
LARGE 2020 is a « florilège» of what electronic music need these days, a real “avant-garde” and committed vision of dance & beat music. It’s a «family affair» - because this is how we do it.

CFCF You Hear Colours (WH2SJ Redit)

Oshichi

In the limited amount of spare time I've had recently, I've started becoming much more interested in Japanese folklore and mythology. One story which caught my attention over the last few weeks is that of Yaoya Oshichi, a serial arsonist from Edo (modern day Tokyo)in the 17th century, whose unusual and fascinating story has since been immortalised in many pieces of art and literature. I was introduced to the story by an incredible song by the absolutely amazing Wednesday Campanella, which I just felt compelled to remix!
