XXX Podcast 014 - Il Est Vilaine

It was May 2017 when Earthboogie’s debut release dropped on Leng. The soundsystem-loving East London duo rightly won praise for a fine EP that brilliantly joined the dots between all things intergalactic, terrestrial and tribal.

Having spent the last ten months recording their adventures, Izaak Gray and Nicola Robinson return with “Silken Moon”, the first single from their forthcoming debut album, Human Call.

In typical fashion, “Silken Moon” cannily combines musical elements from a myriad of styles – most notably Afro-disco, samba and mid-tempo Chicago house – to create a humid hybrid that defies easy categorization. There are bouncy organ riffs, undulating acid lines, clipped Afro-funk guitars, tons of tropical percussion and the chanted, carnival-friendly vocalizations of guest singer Nina Miranda.

The release comes backed with remixes from two members of the extended Leng family: long-serving producer Felix Dickinson and Turkish rising star Ali Kuru. Dickinson sticks close to the original of “Silken Moon” with a mix built around gently jacking machine drums and Earthboogie’s sweaty guitar licks while Kuru takes “Human Call” in an altogether more cosmic direction. Pushing the track’s psychedelic TB-303 lines and tropical textures to the fore whilst adding his own mind-altering electronics – most notably a fat new synth bassline – Kuru cleverly re-casts the track as a pulsating, late night throb-job.

Halo, Disko?

Any botanist will extol the virtues of cross-pollination, and musical hybrids are a Growing Bin speciality. For the latest release Parisian outfit Maât splice jazz with Balearic, dub, house and Afro to create a free thinking LP dedicated to world fusion fore-runners Codona.
If Singu found calm amongst the chaos of Tokyo for ’Siku’ (GBR017), then Maât map out a Sunday stroll through the sun dappled streets of the Parisian banlieue on ’Solar Mantra’. Humming reeds converge into a pre-dawn chorus before dewy sequences and drifting syncopation signal sunrise over La Vilette, a perfect place to start ‘The Walk’. Skirting the Périphérique, the Parisian ensemble pick out a street percussionist by Boulevard d’Algérie then detour to Pré-Satint-Gervais to draw a bassline out of the Metro Area, adding an Environ cool to the uptempo ‘Jaki & Bryn’. With icy bells, brooding guitars and melancholic vocals, ‘Feuglace’ transports Miko’s garten to the 20th arrondissement while the polyrhythmic patter and micro-tuned guitars of ‘Solar Mantra’ see out the A-side with a fourth world hymn. 
Chakras cleansed and ready for a B-side rebirth, Maât take us dancing through Père Lachaise via organic house bomb ‘Quetzal Pacino’, an emotive exploration of rhythmic mallets, dreamy pads and propulsive bass, which moves like the Innerzone Orchestra re-arranged by Jon Hassell. Rest comes with the soothing pianos and swelling sine waves of the pastoral ‘Clarière’, a hazy homage to the noon sun on a clearing. Circular motifs, limber grooves and dubby bass mean we’re on the move again, slipping into Montreuil with the echo-drenched scat and firm back beats of ‘Mount Beuvray’, before ‘Llomé Dub’ takes us home in time for a cool beer and much needed smoke on the balcony. Acoustic guitar, lilting piano and a gorgeous female vocal ride the punchy bass and clattering drums to perfection, keeping us company until the day fades into a contented haze.

Sesión de Piek en Vermuelle el 5 de Mayo de 2019.
Funk — Disco

PIEK es una de las figuras más prolíficas de su generación. Su versatilidad hace que sea un artista imposible de encasillar, abarcando un amplio espectro de sonidos que van desde el House, el Funk o el Disco hasta la electrónica más vanguardista. 

La pasión por la música y por coleccionar vinilos ha sido uno de sus rasgos más distintivos desde niño, lo que le ha permitido desarrollar un criterio muy especial a la hora de poner discos. 

Es por eso que en sus sesiones siempre intenta sorprender y marcar la diferencia, compartiendo su bagaje con el público. 
Tras varios EP’s, apariciones en recopilatorios de sagas como Fabric (Londres) o Balance (Australia) y más de una docena de producciones para spots de publicidad, llegó su LP de debut, “Despertar” (Sincopat, 2017). El disco recibió muy buenas críticas por parte de la prensa especializada (Radio3, XLR8R, DJMag, FazeMag o Exclaim!) y el apoyo de DJ's de la talla de Laurent Garnier. Cabe destacar además que uno de los temas incluidos en dicho álbum, “I Saw You”, se usó para presentar la colección primavera / verano 2017 de la marca alemana Wella.

Discoteca EP

Discoteca (Faze Action Remix)

Discoteca (Heavy Fun Dub)

Residentes Balearicos is a new project founded by Luca Averna and Ale Doretto, both resident DJs in Ibiza and both hailing from Venice, Italy.

Together, they make music that tries to capture the amorphous energy of Ibiza, sizzling on sunny beaches, lulling through lounge conversations, and reaching palpable states in throbbing club nights before disseminating into the countryside air for replenishment.  

The project is based on a collaborative idea where Luca and Ale invite other artists from the island into the studio with the aim of sparking up new and fresh ideas for how Balearic music can sound, both within chillout and dancefloor disciplines.   

For Eivissenc, they were joined by DJ and producer Chris Coco. The music here is inscribed with the genesis of Residentes Balearicos: Luca’s flash of inspiration listening to old vinyl at the San Jordi Market and Ale and Chris’ help sculpting that idea into three radiant, highly danceable tracks. 

The EP is available in all digital stores: https://music-for-dreams.lnk.to/evissenc

Residentes Balearicos - Il Respiro (Luca Averna, Ale Doretto) - s0392

Coming off the back of their fierce remix of Lou Hayter’s ‘MBJCFM’, Rheinzand trade seats for the receiving end. On this first of a bundle of three remix EP’s, it’s the Belgian trio’s disco splurge ‘Obey’ that gets the treatment.
On the first slot of four, SIRS (aka Daniel Klein) puts his bouncy staccato grooves to work in a sped up housey version.
On ‘Hardway Bros Stereo Odyssey’, acid house veteran and disco devotee Sean Johnston filters the theatrical sheen through glitchy techno beats in something like a cyborg re-assemblage. Pure Terminator funk. A live mix of this version, recorded at the SSL, features as well on track 3.
Scorpio Twins finish off with an epic of coruscating lightworks that somehow seems nocturnal at the same time. This is absolutely stunning sound work, if we’re allowed to say. Crystal glass structures, shimmering through space in circuit of thumping bass drums.

The remixes are available in all digital stores 06/11/21: https://music-for-dreams.lnk.to/ObeyRemixes
