SHOPPING TRANCE

After a few years spent in quiet reflection during his introduction to the wonders of fatherhood, In Relationen emerges as both a refined and mature comeback, as well as a distinct new beginning for the long-time Berlin producer. The pensive character, delicate emotional undertones, and careful lines drawn with precise tension across restrained arrangements  may sound familiar to fans of his earlier work, but there is now a greater sense of calm, an openness that rewards listeners both on and off the dance-floor. As contemplative as it may be, In Relationen still rocks, particularly on the title track, where a frontal psychedelic guitar line gently weeps across a haunting, hypnotic field of rhythm. The krautrock influence runs deep, not in a superficial way but in the depths of the music: atop the rolling, pastoral grooves, the vibe of a bright German mind reorganizing itself to a new framework, re-aligning to a fresh phase of life, finding deeper communion with the world through the discovered balance of inner peace.

“Live Cuts” is a series of tracks we have been playing as part of our live set for the past couple of years.
These tracks were made exclusively to be played live. Since we started touring in 2012, we’ve always considered a live set as a work-in-progress, something in permanent motion, made "for the moment”, right there, right then. Each night is different and every gig takes us into unexpected directions. We always run away from the idea of making our live set just another “playlist” of the tracks that we officially released only to please the crowd. We wanted to take the risk to create something new and embark with people on a musical journey that was made just for them, just for that moment.

All throughout December, we’ve decided to share those exclusive tracks with you. As their name suggests, these are “Live Cuts”, they are unmastered and unreleased, recorded live. They might sound rough or undone but our live set remains an unfinished story ;)
Enjoy the music.

Saschienne - Live Cuts #4 (SNIPPET)

D’incarnations en réincarnations, Judah Warsky et Yeti Lane se côtoient et s’apprécient depuis leurs débuts. Il aura pourtant fallu attendre 2017 pour qu’une première collaboration ait lieu, chacun remixant l’autre, juste comme ça, pour le fun.
Tandis que Judah, depuis Buenos Aires, a silencieusement transposé Ne Dis Rien au cours d’une semaine de printemps au milieu de l’automne, à Paris les Yeti Lane se sont enfermés dans leur repaire souterrain et, seuls face à l’écran de leur studio, ont ré-enregistré le titre de Judah.
Le résultat : un quart d’heure de total trip narcotique et envoûtant.

Side A features Protest Song. If music is a way of transporting us to other places, Protest Song takes us to a desolate, scary and loveless environment, a burnt- down, burnt-out place where the flesh of its former inhabitants is smouldering, void of goodwill and kindness in a cloud of toxic and greedy smoke. It’s all Kafka and Orwell and Suffering - the most twisted and eerie track so far in The Golden Ravedays saga. What is undeniably clear is an acute sense of regret and loss - a warning that it could have been avoided, had we only listened to our hearts and protested.

In the same vein on Side B we hear powerful Resistance. Produced after the Paris attacks of 2015 Superpitcher outdid himself with this strong message of Resistance. Where Protest Song paints a picture of under-worldly doom, Resistance’s techno beat and insistent refrain sweeps us to the surface of the muck of hatred and intolerance we’ve politically been dumped in. A voice that seems like a trapped animal is calling out to us. What is it trying to say? Is it crying out for help? Is that animal all of us? Resistance represents hope and encouragement and could be the perfect marching track to any demonstration against negative forces. Much needed in this age of bigotry where it seems like time has leaped backwards to a darker side of history. As for the
dancefloor – Resistance is irresistible!

from 'Polybrass' [CD|2LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den309
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/elektroguzzi

A trio of guitar, bass and drums, Elektro Guzzi overcome the boundary between analogue versus digital, performing techno live with the drive of a machine and the sonic detail of an instrument – without any computers or loopers.

For their upcoming album Polybrass, Elektro Guzzi have drastically expanded their sonic repertoire: both in the studio and on stage, they are joined by an ensemble of three trombonists, opening up a whole new realm of possibilities. With Hilary Jeffrey, Daniel Riegler and Martin Ptak, the band are joined by three brass heavyweights, each of them well renowned for both their solo ventures as well as projects such as The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Sand and Zeitkratzer. By treating the three trombones not simply as a set of extra instruments but rather as one coherent body of sound on its own, Elektro Guzzi dissociate the brass instruments from their conventional use and repurpose them into something completely different: a modular synthesizer, with each trombone representing one oscillator.

In doing so, Elektro Guzzi add new layers of depth to their music, emphasizing a more cinematic side of their music: like the soundtrack for a movie, Polybrass is bigger, darker, more dramatic, more intimate. Warm and fuzzy textures float weightlessly above fragile soundscapes and complex sonic fragments. At the same time, the band’s signature sound runs distinctly through the entire album: solid percussive grooves, stripped down to the absolute minimum it takes to make your body move. Hypnotic repetition, building tension and suspense up to a point where the energy of the music gets so intense you feel like you can physically touch it with your hands, interlaced with organic patterns of sound, constantly changing and evolving, pulsating and oscillating.

Polybrass will be released on Denovali Records on October 26th, 2018.

Elektro Guzzi - Irritation

CLOUDED 011 – Sébastien Tex – Freaking Slowly EP 

Track list:

1.	Freaking Slowly (Original)  
2.	Butterfish (Original)
3.	Static Face (Original)
4.	Ana (Red Axes Remix)

Composed & arranged by Sébastien Tex, 2013, All Rights Reserved.

When I first found Sébastien’s music on Soundcloud about 18 months ago, I knew I had struck gold.  He sent me “Ana” to try out and it became my most played record of 2012. It was released as part of CLOUDED 010 – The Clouded Vision Experiment, which has since received critical acclaim from across the globe.

Upon asking him for more tracks throughout the latter part of 2012, he became prolific at catering to my tastes.  The title track from his debut EP, “Freaking Slowly” has become my most sought after secret weapon from a number of DJ’s, bloggers and dancers.  

Based in the south of France, Sébastien has been a resident DJ at the Bindy Club in Pau, where he has played alongside some of the most renowned artists of the French scene, including Chloé, Ivan Smagghe and Jennifer Cardini.  

Sébastien has developed a sound that is melodic, powerful and elegant.  Each track builds into a crescendo, without ever needing to be forceful or abrasive.  I wanted one remix, something totally different and the one act I had in mind was Red Axes.  I met them both recently in Tel Aviv and we talked about remixes for the label and they soon came up trumps.  By re-playing the entire track with live drums and guitars, Red Axes and have turned “Ana” into a low-slung techno-rockabilly dance floor gem.
