Open Culture: No Borders, Vol. 2

St. Amp - Pinhole Camera [Pollination]

With a richly rhythmic journey that transcends boundaries and defies genres, Keita Sano takes his hands on Rhythmic Culture Records' first ever release called 'You Can't Save Me'. In 5 tracks, the producer hailing from Okayama, Japan connects the dots between though club and tripped-out experimental music with worldly influences from all abroad.

You Can't Save Me

Fat Riddim

Keita Sano - Fat Riddim [RC-R001]

Originally released as part of Catartsis & Ōtone’s “Mechanical Gesture” split EP in 2020 on Obscuur Records and reissued as a 12” record in 2021, Ōtone’s “Slice” has since been summoned into the sets and ears of a myriad of DJs and dancers. Today the track’s distinctive slitting timbres are back with eight remixes, each playfully shaping the original cut into unique percussive hybrids. The result is an eclectic gathering of breakbeat, techno, and hyperpop chimaeras through which recordings of cutting engines swirl anew thanks to the craft of Sister Zo, Go Hiyama, Lara David, Yogg, Neve, and Catartsis.

Ōtone - Slice (Lara David Vyz_rmx)

In the frosty embrace of Berlin's winter, French Berlin DJ and Refuge Worldwide radio host, ophélie, unfurls their debut release on hundert records. We are happy to present “Electric Blue Gecko” as the single from the record. 



Following their inaugural release on the leftfield club music label "Early Reflex," they carefully craft mesmerizing, yet meditative bass music tracks. Ophélie presents her own version of the sonic vision that they explore in their monthly radio show "Therapy Dog". Influences of drum and bass meet the minimalist razor-sharp yet spacious sounds.

   

The artwork was created by Sena Oh who developed the visual style in close collaboration with ophélie. The digital fauna is presented visually through the unmistakable artistic style of the Korean Berlin artist. Whether you're tuned in with headphones or absorbed through pulsating subs of the club, get ready for an experience that transcends the dance floor.

Transforming Matter

I'm running back to me feeling homesick
soon I might recall the savory flavor
of what will ease me until I'm mellow
I move so the floor beneath me transforms into a flow
does it really matter if I'm loved beloved unloved
if I submerged deep in dirt and died slow
-li al

We breathe in oxygen, transform it into carbon dioxide and breathe out. One simple witness of transforming matter. With this album I became aware of this inevitable movement and my deeply rooted need to live that. So I could not restrict myself any longer not to surrender to it, to the creative flow.
Very new and important to me was to collaborate with such immensely talented artists. It has elevated and transformed my production skills & process. I feel very honored to connect, learn and transform matter - together.
-Chewlie

Premiere: Strict Face - Casual Contact [Thirst For Nerve EP]

We’re thrilled to share with you the third volume of our beloved series ‘‘traversée’’ - a space for producers to explore their own versatility.

‘‘traversée 03’’ gather – once again – super talented artists who shape the vision of the label on a daily basis through the diversity of their musical background and origins.

Talking about musical process with artists is super important to us and sharing it to the world is even more significant : soon we'll share some ‘‘words behind the track’’ from artists themselves to dive deeper into their own reflexions: take a deep breathe in —

(:
