Lion’s Drums full length exists as an exploration in multiple dimensions. First by challenging the notion of the album format by presenting a body of work that lies snuggly between remixes, edits and original works and secondly as a means to delve into the transcendent potential of the drum. The album sets the tone by putting these two concepts fully on display with its hypnotic chant, swaying one into ease over the first two songs. In orderly cue folding and unfolding, meditatively through, melodies as muddied pastelle whispers cast over the measured language of the drum. Breaking away from the musing themes of the opening songs we find an ecstatic ritual in "Tanz der Körperlinge" and "Journey to Middle Earth”, two distinct varieties but both of the same perennial species. Inky ether seeps back in through the second half of the album with a peak of frenzied tumbling toms and incongruous textures hovering above in the Manos Tsangaris’ collaboration “Crying Tafel” and his re-imagining of Tullio De Piscopo’s unhinged drum excursion “Fastness”. The closing exemplifies the edit/remix/original ethos proposed for this work with Lions Drums drawing from tapes and original material of electronic pioneers Suzanne Ciani and Roberto Musci. Drawing from unreleased music and song sketches by the original artists as well as field recordings from travels & studio sessions made by Roberto Musci & Manos Tsangaris in the 80's and early 90’s he constructs a side winding journey through playful textures and ethereal moods.

Lion's Drums - La Batterie

After a 5 year hiatus, Tel Aviv based artist Naduve, returns to Cocktail d’Amore Music with Hypogeum. Each of these tracks facilitates its own special part in the life of party. Starting off on a hypnotic and forward driven note Echo Wave Bay leads dancers perfectly into hypnosis with its trance inducing melodies which wave upward and downward. Title track Hypogeum begins to pull on the heart strings with its soft synths floating over pastel textures before giving way to the aptly titled FX Jungle, a deep trip into the low lying canopies of your imagination. Ending where we began Thursday Gem explores the same cyclical themes as Echo Wave but in a subdued fashion making it a perfect choice for winding down any raucous party.

Basic Instinct - Passion (Sonic Paradise Remix)

Every techno head is probably familiar with dub techno: that muffled, echo-y, reverb-drenched, bass-pumping sub-genre that feels so good in a dark club in the middle of the night.  Fewer people know that dub techniques originated in reggae and were introduced to electronic music by those mysterious geniuses behind Basic Channel, Maurizio and Rhythm & Sound.  In fact, some of Maurizio's later tracks are so close to dub reggae, you could practically smell the ganja. 
Amandra's remix for Adwer's Recombinant takes a perfectly legit techno original, slows it down, regrooves it, strips it down and infuses it with that unmistakable scent of dub reggae.  Everything is properly muffled, off-beat, and its groove and percussion will at the same time please techno chinstrokers and make Bob Marley break into a dance.  It's just that jammin'
