Pre-order 'Golden Times 1' on EP/DL here: http://phonofile.link/golden-times-1

Electronic producer Max Cooper and ambient master Tim Hecker rework Ben Lukas Boysen on his new EP 'Golden Times 1' – out on Erased Tapes, June 30th 2017.

Championed by many including BBC Radio DJ Mary Anne Hobbs as the standout track from his most recent album 'Spells', Boysen’s 'Golden Times 1' forms the very heart of his new EP with the same name. Boysen entrusted none other than Max Cooper and Tim Hecker to meticulously shape and lure the title track plus second single 'Nocturne 4' into two entirely separate territories, yet never drifting too far away from their original soundscapes. With 'Evensong' the composer himself contributes a previously unreleased piece. It is yet another example that Boysen is still opening new and unexplored doors in a bid to challenge the existing realm of contemporary music he is very much a part of.

Words from Ben and Max, May 2017:

“Spells was somewhat of a conceptual release for me, so the choice of the remixing artists and where the original material could be taken was very important. Max and Tim, both being role models for me ever since I began listening to their work and who delivered this incredible abstraction, I felt were spot on for this release and were dream candidates to work with. Their ability to re-direct and even re-invent the original material, partially subtle, and with an almost brutish sense of imagination, honors the originals deeply.” — Ben Lukas Boysen

“Ben has been one of my most listened to artists of the past year or so. His last two albums in particular, have meant a lot to me, and provided me with focus when I needed it. So I was excited to have a chance to remix his work. I felt like I couldn't improve on his idea, but what I could do was take what was the core for me, and expand it. It was just a matter of running with the feeling I got from his original, sticking with his melodic forms and original instrumentation, and letting the growing intensity continue along it's established path to the only possible end point of total annihilation in chaos and distortion. My version is almost a continuation of his original if it was allowed to blossom into percussive format, rather than a traditional remix.” — Max Cooper

The golden EP cover art was created by Torsten Posselt at FELD as an extension from the initial album artwork he also created for 'Spells'.

My contribution to the fabulous Earthlings II compilation, released on the 21st June 2018 by Pyramid Transmissions.  This is a charity compilation with all proceeds going to World Animal Protection.

Spindle is a brand new track which we've played live a couple of times.  It's us going back into the old school, breaks lead electronica sound  which we've dabbled in from time to time, but still keeping a sense of melody and space.

Please support the charity and the artists on the album through the Buy Now link below.  It's 79 truly outstanding tracks of electro, idm, techno and acid and is a must buy for anyone into electronica from the old school.  And for a very worthy cause as well.

Thanks to Dom Graveson as always and to ADJ for inviting us to contribute.

For today’s exclusive track premiere, we are honoured to share with you James Murray‘s slow-burner, titled “In Your Head” which is literally a half of his brand new album, titled "Embrace Storms" [the other half, being another long-player, “In Your Heart”], released as a multi-format split between his very own Slowcraft and KrysaliSound labels. The two pieces sonically capture the weather patterns which are rising and subsiding, rising and subsiding, all on their own, in the caverns of your mind, body and soul, where, instead of fighting, or even worse, identifying with this uncontrollable climate, you can notice, use soft focus, and then let it pass. Let it all pass… The music serves as a perfect meditative accompaniment to your daily routine, in order drown out all of that hum, and accept things as they are…

"James Murray’s new solo work takes the form of two carefully constructed long-form sound collages; twin formations gradually unfolding in continuous, ever-evolving streams of delicately controlled chaos."

The release is out in just a few days, on November 9th, 2019, and is available as a CD from Slowcraft and a beautifully pressed limited edition vinyl from Milan-based KrysaliSound imprint. Highly recommended for the seekers of their inner peace…
