Head of electro division - Kodek - has returned, to put up this little gem for adoption. The 'Soul Crasher' single is something why we keep the guy in our sight. The bottom is lined with mellow electronica, while the warm roaring synth wistfully sings about a beautiful girl…Electronica is nicely dosed, and together with the melody it forms an ice-melting piece, with many emotions. 

There are also two other nice little fellows coming with the original one: first comes the reserved, but passionate, sometimes a bit neurotic brother from Planet4, talking about that same girl in other words. The other one is from an old mate, "tshabee", and his version was surely bred on steroids, but still is a nice way to express own thoughts on the same issues. 

We proudly represent 'Soul Crasher' in Kodek color.

GOMB 
noun /gɒm/ 

[countable] a musical act specialized in noise-gadget pop songs 
abbreviation for “get off my back” 
[countable] a button (well, in Hungarian, at least) 

BREAKS (AND AMENDS) 
Almost six years in the making, the first album from veteran songwriter Ambrus Tövisházi (aka Erik Sumo) and Kristóf D. Hajós, singer and lyricist of “The Unbending Trees” dives deep into melancholy with dusty piano ballads, unsolicited noises and old, malfunctioning synthesizers. The duo's long-due follow up on their “Superman EP” became an album with a powerful personal touch - one that truly lets you into The Gomb's remarkable inner world.

This is Chi Recordings calling on to raise the arms and cross them to form an X overhead. Dare to connect hungry lips on the gently snipped chakra of ever-floating tunes, and slurp the guts of it. Magic vibrations called out for a place, where resonation is not muted by the noisy highway of the mainstream. What a luck we have devilish taste for music, and the oracle's genious on foreseeing how to avoid being banal. It has been a decade since Chi Recordings opened a genre free source where audio-hikers could always stop for sniff a bit of ambient, have a nip of techno or breakbeat, might as well fill their packs with dubby, housy, you name it substance...
While we are clapping our own backs, because of many goals exceeded, we also retrospect on all the twisted releases we've made, devotees we've gained, remarkable producers we've come across, and on how our vision could make it through to others across lands. So happy we are... Let us initiate the forthcoming ten years with a range of delicacies that are going to be released one after another in the following months. 

On this first EP Modul is baring teeth at you with a nasty bassheavy hiphop madness. He's a slick vet, precise as a samurai, and hell of a scratch
er, and more than that. But how would you describe more an all-round guru? The beats are here to speak for him. May Kadoodie is something really stiff that has just slipped out of him.

We loved ANEZ's 'Dust' album so much, we've asked some of our friends to rework their favorite tunes from the album. If you are familiar with the remixing artists, you won't be surprised to hear dirty bass music from Tshabee, glitchy electronica from Planet4 and moody downtempo from Legars.

Soulseduction's review of the album:

  "...Erik Sumo in real life is called Ambrus Tovishazi, successfully introduced himself with his debut album 'My Rocky Mountain'. Back then Pop, Dub, Jazz and Hungarian Folk-elements were crossed with extremely catchy melodies. By now, the Erik Sumo Band is a seven-strong project and the new album 'The Trouble Soup' is a bubbling cauldron of great Pop-anthems. Explosive synthesizers, Eastern Bloc-ado, Indie and Progressive in three-minute operas, that could have been penned by the Flaming Lips or the B52's. It's crystal clear, the Hungarian Pop saga has to be rewritten."

  While the album is coming on the German label Le Pop Musik, Chi Recordings was happy to prepare 2 packs of diverse remixes for this outstanding LP!

Genre: GlitchHop/Electronica/DubStep

Right back at ya! Remember last time we mentioned Bil Bless? Well, here he is and we can't stop bouncing to his badass funk of 'Wrong Again'. With him comes our very own Fine Cut Bodies, who's got a white rose and offers it to a black hole, now that's just sooo him. A smashing bloke. We've been trying to find the right genre to put Vaspoeri's 'Bigcity Chase' into, but apart from stuff like 'very very sick' we haven't quite found one yet - let us know if you come up with a good one! Our spotted talent of the month is iamyank, who appeared about 6 months ago and since then has been taking over the Hungarian scene. Careful, he's well out of order.

iamyank feat Dora Hegyi - Billie Holiday Pt2 (from X/FlashBack)

The urban wilderness is the world of plunder, so one day - back in 2010 - Ambrus Tövisházi (Erik Sumo Band, Péterfy Bori Love Band) thought to go out fishing, to sack a scoop full of industrial murmurs and ambient noises of his living quarters. 'Hey, this totally calls for music. And lyrics.' - he thought then. After dropping a few lines in email to Kristóf Hajós-Dévényi of The Unbending Trees - asking if he would team up by taking the lyrics part - 'The Gomb' project started out right away, no messing around. Though the guys have never met prior to their collab, the album is now in the homestretch packed with 16 unique toned ballads, twisted with the singing voice of Tövisházi and Hajós-Dévényi. The album also features a previously unreleased track from The Unbending Trees, the rest fifteen is the duo's own work.

The only pop track of the album - Superman - was put up for remixing to Chi Recordings. Some of the heavy gunners of the label took it, and returned with 5 topnotch tracks of their interpretation.
There's this one peculiar state of mind that links all 'Superman' reworks, and unite all men of the planet, merging in one sigh: 'Lord, I've drunk myself to superman!' The booze in the hand makes the man fearless, invincible, a heartbreaker. Next day - while checking the bruises and scratches, earned by walking through windows - you become to a bittersweet recognition that you have no super powers at all, but you still have a real Superman hiding in you...
The heroes of the Chi Recordings team used their different forces to re-think 'The Gomb' song: Mongoose and Tshabee both pulled their own glitchy dubstep version. While the first one is a relaxed moderate piece, the latter one turns into a screaming madness. Empty Music is our guest hero from Australia, supporting the EP with his smooth tinkling 'Empty Streets Remix' tech house ballad, followed by a balearic deep house from ICR. The line is cut by a solid Kodek tech house rework.

Will be out on 8th october on Beatport... The Cider Club already was released on Electrix back in 2006, but since then a couple of producers remixed this great tune, it was time for publish those too. Alongside the original, there is a beautiful vocal version featuring Vector Lovers, a deep minimaltechno mix from Repeat Repeat and a tecHouse remake from our own Fine Cut Bodies.

Now we're gonna put you in the picture with Zomblaze - the energetic new contestant at Chi's stable - listing a random selection of his instinctive period, looking back on few years. He hit the road in Nyíregyháza, Hungary as a promoter, and soon made his way to the Budapest hip-hop scene in 2006, and took part in some notable productions with local core elements as a beatmaker.

Before you get to the present Zomblaze phenomenon, meet him on his way to consciousness, one step back in time. The three pieces of Machinstruments Vol.1. EP shows tribute to most music genres of his taste - such as glitch-hop, dubstep, electronica - besides the fundamental abstract hip-hop.

'Balkan Kannibalizm' and 'Mind Op' are proper hip-hop sounds, both sharing robust blustering baselines, and electronic intonation, souped up with cuts of voices, or gently streaming background suite.
'Out' is a bit different with its moderate pace. It is built from samples cut from old vinyls, enriched with scratch sounds, showing off a nice wide inventory of hip-hop, that is used properly in all three tracks...
Zomblaze's been through some changes since then, that Machinstruments Vol.2. will reveal next time.

Zomblaze - Mind Op (dub version)

Here is another exquisite EP rolling out on Chi, packed by tshabee, who we have already featured previously with a remix, and now we are moving on with some of his own.

The guy claims to be an impressionist, and by listening to his stuff, we tend to believe it. One of the things we love about his music: being so playful and eclectic, it can not be accused of imitating anything else than what it is.

'Packet From Far' holds three tshabee tracks to think on, or stamp to, or both. Tension becomes moderate as we move from one track to the next one. What tshabee does here is some scruffy tecnocrat bass music, where elements are nicely kept on leash by adding extra details to the core of the tracks. Like the garage house feel in 'Not A Hit Not A Shit', or the ethereal, melodic electronica in 'Message From You', and discursive rhythmics in 'Breathing World', and many other things that we let you unload from 'Packet From Far'. Think about it while listening to the extra track that tshabee remixed for AMB.

We received something very personal material this time, that we give all away to you. ALMA is the word for 'soul' in Spanish, and now we are let to peek in to Cadik's own.

Listeners are not used to such emotional exaltation from Cadik, he is more considered as a producer, who is pushing the envelope with his abstract hip hop, an obsessed of drums, banging beats, and pulsating rhythmics. The basics remained, but the mood is shrouded in a somewhat bittersweet feel, giving a massive depth and finesse to it with the Spanish guitar phrases. Contributing artists - the slam poet Saiid, singer/MC Sena, and Jacksonwille friend Willie Evans Jr. - helped Cadik letting this LP go, the way he felt it right. The only way it was possible.

We are kindly initiating Zomblaze' current wisdom in music production, before twistedly reaching back in time to the second volume of Machinstruments.

The present material is holding on to moderate pace, and shares the common glitch-hop ground with his previous works. Only these tracks are more laid back, with less harsh stimulus on the nerves. The kick-off theme is RKs’ original version of ’Breathe Deep’, that inspired a remix take, and is an extension of the cover artwork, also by the hands of  RK. 'Stratosphere' gives the rock-bottom here, the other sounds are just gathering around it reflectively, unveiling a different musical perception of Zomblaze. 'New Age' has a gently improving, and cleverly shifting pulsation, that leads you through the whole EP unawarely, so much that you don't stop, until listening it all at once.

It was 2008, and after two years of preparation Cadik's debut album was cleared off. Most of his typical flavour was already present then, as he took hip-hop to abstract ways like no other producers in those days.

The title 'Basic' refers to the building blocks that were used: exploding kicks, dusty snares, analogue basses. That's it. Of course it's leveled up with jazzy samples, discursive rhythmics, and so on. On top of the whole thing, Cadik won over some topnotch American and Hungarian rap and soul lyricists to contribute - already on his debut stuff.

This is how things were pulled together to kick off this tribute to the genre that has given so much to our beloved Cadik. It is a pleasure to finally represent this release in digital on Chi.
