PREMIERE COMME DES LARMES

PREMIERE JANUARY 2024

As Seunghee @seungheeworks prepares to make a move back to Europe and Seoul after a stint based in Brooklyn, we feel lucky to have connected with her range of creative output. She has hosted events under the banner of Yulheim Electronics alongside DJ Snail at intimate, audiophile venues like Jupiter Disco and Mansions, showcasing artists with a taste for dance music that builds layered, dreamy soundscapes, a descriptor that could also apply to her own DJing. With a patient, colorful, emotional approach and a penchant for abstracted kicks and polyrhythms, Seunghee's sound somehow feels as evocative of an urban landscape as a forest ecosystem, organic and full of life, even when that life may be struggling.

Read the interview and see a tracklist:
spontaneous.zone/054-seunghee

"Every time I make a mix, I just put in all the tracks I really like and play them by the BPM, and sort out the ones that mix well. After finishing the mix, I hear it and realize what thoughts and intentions were being made.

This time, it sounded like I was trying to build a conviction. There’s a virtual character and she is trying to say something without losing her tone or deviating from her angle. There are a lot of forces trying to convince her out of her own narrative but somehow she maintains it. At least it shows the struggle.

I am currently making a lot of difficult and big choices in life. These choices will determine my survival. It helps to remember where I come from and which direction I am going. It’s not just about my own wants. I think everyone has a name, background, and roots that connect them to their own destiny. I feel I am in a stage of life where I understand myself better. (I am in my thirties) and the mix is about moving forward without compromising. Hopefully it relates to others who are going through changes.

I used a pair of CDJs and Xone92 mixer with a pair of KRKs & Audio-Technica headphones."

Interview + Tracklist

Spontaneous Affinity #054: Seunghee

English:
Impair Pierre is Léonard Lampion's new alias, created as an escape route from dark basements and the influence of club music. Since 2017, Impair Pierre has been writing songs in his office in Grenoble using synthesisers, guitar, and voice. Finding inspiration in the events of everyday life, he seeks to develop a form of minimalism.

Promenades de jour - this record developed from a desire to write songs that were relatively refined and spontaneous. It brings together experiments with the Yamaha PS-20 synth, songs imbued with a certain melancholy, and others with a more satirical bent. The record is a succession of photos, landscapes, and situations both real and imaginary, like a walk in the spring sun.

French:
Impair Pierre est le nouvel alias de Léonard Lampion créé pour sortir des caves sombres et s’affranchir de l’influence du club. Impair Pierre écrit des chansons depuis son bureau de Grenoble depuis 2017 avec différents synthétiseurs, sa guitare et chante sur certains morceaux. L’inspiration lui vient du quotidien et il recherche une forme de minimalisme.

Promenades de jour - L’album naît de la volonté d’écrire des chansons, relativement épurées et spontanées. Il regroupe des expérimentations inspirées par le synthé yamaha PS-20, des chansons imprégnées d’un certaine mélancolie et d’autres plus satiriques. L’album est une succession de photos, paysages, situations vécues ou imaginées, comme une promenade sous le soleil de printemps.

Fobos Hailey a breath of fresh air with his latest EP “Breathe. From start to finish putting he takes you on a wildly intense intense and emotional journey. Drawing inspiration from cascade of electronic genres the Kazan producer shows his skills with his diverse set of musical cuts. “No problem” is a in your face with its buzzing bass line and electro drums surrounded with metallic atmospheric ambience dripping with acid. “Breathe” is a post-breakbeat track that’s reaching back in time to the revolutionary rave soundscape which the Prodigy was known for. “Chemical” is downtempo heater tripped out with hypnotic hip hop elements with a groove so hard you will fall of your chair. “Protest” and “Timelapse” pushes you into the ether with their fluttering swirl of vocal synth like pads and bellowing basses, both have a very uplifting spirit. “Strange Festival” is a psychedelic LSD trance-tek delight that takes you deep into the forest of an illegal DIY rave. The absolute mad scientist Ben Pest gives us an unrelenting remix as he smashes the track “Chemical “into bits, corroding the track with ground shaking kicks, punching snares, as he creates a storm like magnetic bassline with kinked out vocals, the sound is equally as aggressive as it is sexy.

Ep Name »   OE 021 - Hasan Poppu - Hasan Poppu

The project by Jens-Uwe Beyer and Thomas Venker boasts a remarkable origin story. In 2017, Venker, co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of Cologne’s Kaput magazine, hosted a gathering at Beyer's house, bringing together journalists, creatives, and musicians. To mark the occasion, the pair decided to join forces for an impromptu ambient-electronic performance, presenting themselves as a two-man band. That evening, donned in special costumes designed by artist Sarah Szczesny and fuelled by a generous amount of Japanese whisky, Hasan Poppu was born.

Over the course of the pandemic, the duo thought about creating a record based on the live recording of their premiere show. However, the synergy of their collaborative creative energies led them in entirely novel directions. Their self-titled, double-sided album traverses a wild and raucous terrain, moving swiftly from hybrid noise-techno to giddy party ecstasy, to strange and shadowy atmospheres. Including remixes by YPY, Hibotep, Lena Willikens, Efdemin and Barnt, the 11 tracks span a dizzying array of experimental dance-facing styles. 

'Die-Biden' kicks off as a high-vibrational vocal experiment seemingly voiced by a sentient German vocoder. 'Kodō' follows, featuring Venker's playful mantra set against a stomping beat. Willikens' reimagining of 'Teiko' transports the track to obscure realms inhabited by strange creatures emitting ungodly sounds. Meanwhile, Efdemin's take on 'Ekusutashī' pulsates with a kinetic buzz.

Flipping over to the B-side, 'Sakura' is a euphoric wall of drone punctuated by eerie whispers and mystical singing. Then, the second installment of 'Kodō' takes a fresh trajectory with a touch of Barnt’s electronic groove stylings. Finally, Hibotep's 'Shojo no yo ni flp' serves as the finsher – an unrepentant trance belter that disintegrates into sampled fragments.

Loosely translating to "broken pop music," Hasan Poppu is informed by Beyer and Venker's shared love for Japan. The band takes their cues from the country’s rich sonic cultures while also drawing on Venker's wordsmith background and Beyer's flair for melding melodic tech-house with song-based synth-pop. 

Originally out on Beachcoma Recordings, Hasan Poppu’s debut album gets a new lease of life on Osàre! Editions with a digital and limited edition cassette tape release. Sarah Szczesny reprises her role in shaping the visual identity of Hasan Poppu by creating beautiful, painterly artwork for the record.

P. U. aka The Transient Mind has been active in the Vienna underground scene since more than a decade. He's resident on Vienna's RES Radio, where he frequently invites locals and worldwide selectors to share his slots.

He has, early since Maturre was founded, played many tracks of the label in different radio and podcast sessions, and has always been identified as true support to the label.

Later on, we've found out that he, apart of his dj business, was also creating his own music, as many short tracks that were posted on soundcloud, incognito. We were smashed by those raw atmospheres & naive electronic orchestrations. It couldn't stay forever here.
We got in contact to ask him if he'd be interested to finish those sketches in the perspective of having a release on the imprint. After monthes of work, here's "In hindsight, it may not have gone the way you hoped, but when it's all over, you will be fine", the first ever album of A Transient Mind.

PREMIERE CDL || A Transient Mind - The Way You Hoped (Geier Aus Stahl Remix) [Maturre] (2024)

That true beauty lies in the essentiality and meticulous combination of a few elements is sometimes not just a cliché. The delicate blend of Roland CR-78, acoustic guitar and dissonant organs that intertwine in Open Windows is a vivid demonstration of this. It is these few elements, now distant and hinted at and now close and deafening, that paint the backdrop of melancholic nostalgia where laconic whispers move the listener within the paintings that bear the sonic signature of Human Figures. To Daniel Lewis' new project, which has seen its springboard through releases on the label of his friends at Frigio Records, perhaps the adjective "new" is already quite tight. He has built a very recognizable sonic tibre, an influence of producers and listeners at different latitudes of the post-punk and wave scene. 
In the 8 canvases of Open Windows the folk tradition is repainted in a more contemporary guise: the sweet and sad litanies are alternated with fast and frenetic stornelli in which the combination of tradition and experimentation constitutes the stylistic signature. The open window through which the listener has the opportunity to look out in this album does not, however, give onto a natural external panorama. It projects into an inner world where introspection and silence are the only chance to grasp its sublime beauty.

Peramen! A Compilation for Belarus

“Change! Our hearts demand it. Change! Our eyes demand it”, sings Kino’s Viktor Tsoi in “Peremen”. This song may now be heard on the streets of not just Minsk and Grodno, but also Babruysk, Brest, Gomel, Mogilev, Pinsk, Vitebsk and what – at least to a foreign onlooker – looks like countless Belarussian cities and towns engulfed in protest. Following years of Alexander Lukashenko’s rule, another rigged election, omnipresent violence perpetrated by the state apparatus, censorship and draconian laws, the people have taken to the streets en masse. This is not the first time the Belarusians are out to protest, but the scale of these disturbances is unprecedented. Also unprecedented is the fact the rallies are led by women, who head the peaceful marches that have spread onto the streets of Belarus. Workers, miners, teachers, employees of the media and the Minsk underground as well as artists from the Belarusian State Philharmonic have all joined the protests. They stand against lies, demand the transparency of public life, and access to power. As they rally against repression and torture, they expose themselves to the same.

The artists featured on the Peramen! compilation also demand changes. While we cannot physically join the protesters on the streets of Belarus, we want to offer them at least this form of support. Our thoughts are with our friends – and with all the people who have been arrested, beaten, and humiliated. We join in the grief of families of all those murdered in the protests.

The compilation covers a broad selection of genres: from club music, through classical and experimental classical, to noise, ambient, and rock; from pieces that were composed to ones that were improvised or inspired by folk music. Its geographical scope is similarly broad, spanning Belarus, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, USA, Russia, and Hungary. 

All proceeds from Peramen! A Compilation for Belarus will go to #BY_help, a grassroots initiative offering aid to victims of repression, established on the wave of arrests that shook Belarus in March 2017. The funds will be used to pay fines, unlawful fees imposed for being held in detention, medical costs and lawyers.

The idea for the compilation was developed by Elena Sizova (@lectra), Minsk-based DJ and producer. Peramen! A Compilation for Belarus was prepared with the help of the Radio Kapitał collective.

Release date: October 05 2020

Bearing the torch of a new generation West Coast artists, The Hague based Pasiphae comes through with a haunting four-tracker on Pinkman. Weaving the accents of horror with the ambience of hope, ‘Possessed Realms’ offers a trip through desolate terrains of restless minds. The haven of the night congregates the wrecked ones and hope tainted with misery turns the grimness into light. The idea of finding comfort and rejuvenation in the dark is liberated, opening broad horizons for creation. While our future might be uncertain, the present is ripe for Pasiphae.
