Emotional Response continues the second SchleiBen series with a pan-ocean exploration of meditative spiritualism meets psychedelic ambience. 

The 2nd of the 4 part series expands with the inclusive offerings from LA's Matthewdavid and London's HOLOVR for a cyclical journey of altered consciousness against lush 303-tinged harmonics. 

First, Matthewdavid provides a 20-minute live recording to showcase his "meditation with music". Beat maker, producer, label owner, radio host and now new age explorer, Matthew David McQueen has been a fixture of the City Of Angles music scene for over a decade. However, it was his association with Tropical Hi-Fi (SchleiBen 3) that first attracted the label's attention to dig deeper in to his developing sound. 

As Leaving Records founder he has a prominent role is shaping the cities sound that has seen him work with Sun Araw, Laraaji and a myriad of the label's roster. Here performing in most his recent incarnation, Matthewdavid's Mindflight - having just released the wonderful Trust The Guide And Glide double album opus - is Sonos. 

Recorded live at Dublab Radio's "Tonalism" event at Sonos Studios, the piece utilises Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano, Hulusi Flute and Ableton Live to create movement, fade and sequence. A looping realisation, music inside music, thresholds expanded, connecting the centre, a place, origin, a soul that allows a devout expression to exude and find mediation in sound. This is music to get lost and at the same, get found in. 

Set against these endless arp-loops, is HOLOVR, raising a more focused consciousness that is a perfect counterpoint. Having already appeared on the label via his recent, deep, eloquent remix of Sad City, as well as releasing with label favourites Opal Tapes, Further Records and Firecracker, the desire to work with another uniquely individual producer has been in place for several years. 

Recorded using only hardware; 303 lines, soft pads, arpeggio synths and Roland percussion capture a snapshot of time in a natural, in-the-moment negotiation of these different elements, giving trademark, open, drifting loops that let the listener within, while texture and tone engage, activating harmonic resonances almost as a drone. This progressive disintegration, tuning in and dropping out of musical spheres envelops while hinting at aphex influences and (artificial) intelligence.

SchleiBen shifts, expanding, growing, pulsating. Keep the faith and (un)listen.

Dats Crazy - Different

With his cyberpunk assemblages drawing on sounds from across time and space, Howie Lee represents the cutting-edge of China’s blossoming electronic music scene. The co-founder of Do Hits, a Beijing-based party and record label, he has pioneered a new musical language, fusing folk traditions with experimental soundscapes and the global language of trap, bass, and techno.

His most recent album, 2019’s Tiān Dì Bù Rén, combined Chinese instruments like the erhu and rawap with an array of global sounds – glockenspiel, flamenco guitar, Auto-Tuned vocals – to confront ideas of nationalism, capitalism and ecological destruction. During spells in London and Taipei, he has also completed an MA in sound art, created an audiovisual show with Taiwanese 3D animator Teom Chen, and added to his conceptual album series, Socialism Core Value.

Howie Lee’s NI Sketch captures his playful “Made In China” aesthetic in just a few gestures. Opening with a melody line recorded on his rawap, a long-necked Chinese string instrument, it’s a dense collage of globally sourced sounds. As a heavy rhythm takes shape, elements of African and Indian percussion become knotted together in unexpected ways.
