my favorite since years, finally released

SoundCloud Weekly 07.04.21

The sun flooded through the open curtains, waking him prematurely. She wasn't there again, had already left for some other important commitment or unexplainable appointment. If pressed, he struggled to define their relationship; he'd put too much time into deciphering it that now he preferred to accept it for what it was. Not that he was any closer to understanding that either...

Almost a year ago Moisk, a duo made up of Pletnev aka Ponty Mython and Fourmï Rouz, released their debut foray on Dutch label I Lost My Poncho In Istanbul. Now they’re returning for another excursion, this time inviting you to take a ride on the Pleasure Express, a fresh new imprint springing up from Belgium. Titled 'Melancholic Raver', the EP once again showcases the pair's love of hypnotic rhythms and breakbeat patterns, matching these with acid lines and otherworldly atmospheres.

PREMIERE: Moisk - Differential Equations [Pleasure Express]

Signature hypnotic organic rhythms recorded in 1996 by Debbie Jones and Robbert Heijnen as an incarnation of eXquisite CORpsE.

These tracks have existed in digital limbo for a number of years and now receive a long overdue remastered vinyl release. Kindred spirit Anatolian Weapons lends his hand on remix duties with a devastating acid rework.

DT PREMIERE: Rusmir - Eighteen Hundred [YES] (2022)

ITALO MODERNI brings Modernation Vol.4. The last of 4 compilations, this time it's being released on vinyl. We want to finish this compilation with the best production quality, with artists like Alessandro Adriani, Timothy J. Fairplay, Chino, Chupacabras, Leroy Se Meurt, Le Chocolat Noir, Univac and Adrian Marth. The a-side sounds like an late-80s industrial EBM cut, focused on playing in the heat of the club. The b-side, on the other hand, goes more towards Electro eighties, with weird sounds and a strong metallic beat- perfect for the adventerous working DJ. 200% club approved!

PREMIERE : Leroy Se Meurt -  Angoisse

Mayo -  Longing Without The Expectation Of Satisfaction

Samo Tako & Ivna Ji - Flashlights

After 5 years of 'Fortnightly Freebies' columns collating our favourite free downloads, we decided to do things a bit differently for the 100th chapter. Introducing 'Big Material', a 19-track 'name your price' compilation that will donate 100% of profits made to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity supporting some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society.

At a time when unfair austerity is increasing inequality and leaving so many behind, we hope to support a community that has given so much to the 'scene' and music we love. Digi-dub abstractions and drifting ambient to kaleidoscopic breaks and newly-coined genre, 'subtle donk', it's a pretty accurate microcosm of the If-Only curation as a whole.

Big Material pulls together music from some of If-Only's favourite artists, with tracks from @apsychicyes, @riveryarra, Material Things (@12th-isle), @priori-ties, @nicholaswilson1982 & @steviewhisper, @benoitb, @maxabysmal, @58daniel, @bogdan-drazic, @whyesss, @twitch, @warzouk, @thomasbakk, @eyemeasure, @rdjm0, @furiousfrank, Moonphase (AKA @cl_lit), @moonbowmusic and @aki-aki.

--------------

Soft and calm, we, like light
fray into gentle chaos.
Big material unfurls
Then turns to collect, reform –
Like breaths, draw in
To new poise and structure;
Solid and slow.
Never still. Glacial.

Think back, before
A piece of things,
Moving alone, once a part –
But when is the fragment
not the whole?
When is the whole not the whole?
The salt which made the chalk
Which made the cliff
Which made the slate -

Hard to see,
Once a part and still, we are,
A piece of something else.

--------------
All profits go to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity working to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people live in safer homes, free from fear, where they can celebrate their identity and support each other to achieve their full potential.

DT PREMIERE: Poperttelli - Ecoline [BT42]

5 outstanding edits by the one and only auratekh, an internationally recognized purveyor of the finest trance-inducing sounds and images.

The Earth Question opens the EP and is an invitation for bodies to get in motion and minds to seek elevation. 

The Silence is an anthem that revisits an iconic 80's hit and a reminder of the deep links between new wave and Goa. 

Pan's Domain is one of those chuggers that might cause flashbacks of the highest order. 

Blue Pilot Light is a deep and trippy groover for all your abyss rave needs. 

Traveller is a forward-thinking number, fit for vertical ascent and celestial navigation. 

Per the artist's request, his proceeds from sales of this EP will be donated to IWGIA - International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs - a global human rights organisation that promotes recognition and implementation of the rights of Indigenous Peoples around the world.

Serial Error was founded as a New Beat project when Jacob Korn was asked for a submission to the 'Our Beat Is Still New' compilation series on the Belgian We Play House label in late 2014.
Knowing the retro-experienced skills of his label mates from Uncanny Valley, he teamed up with Credit 00 & Sneaker and they produced Drum Abuse, a track that finally became the cue for their first full 12'' maxi single in 2018 on Rat Life Records; a label curated by Credit 00.

Now they keep on malfunctioning with a 4-tracker featuring the bizarre title Afro Gothic.

The eponymous track was the first shot when they got together for a second EP in Jacob's studio in now demolished premises (the typical daily Rat Life). The slow, steamy roller captures the amateurish live percussion skills of Credit 00, while - on the other hand - he played one of the manuals of Jacob's 'Son of GX' organ along with Sneaker playing the other manual of the leading voice synth.  
On top, they added a classic acapella - a sudden strike of genius - 'perfectly matching the solemn vibe'
(in their opinion; artist quote).

A2 'Unter den Helmen' is ripping off the same organ's preset drum patterns run through a brutal EQ. Talking of the 70s - a duet by two anti-nuclear activists from the German Sponti  movement of the time  became the theme of this politically charged protest song!

Oh yeah, somewhere I had to paste the striking fact that all is mastered & sent via reel-to-reel at our TailOut studio. Check!

B1 and B2 are two versions of the same song who share their lyrics drawn from school days. To be precise from the tacky Dresden art academy they both - Sneaker and Credit 00 - visited.
The B2 of 'Art Academy Talk' features the typical Sneaker vocals on a 4/4 beat, while - due to Credit 00's lean towards electro - the B1 got the vocoder treatment while Jacob and Sneaker went for lunch.
As Jacob came up with the bass riff on his Chroma Polaris, Credit fiddled the knobs of his Ensoniq ESQ1 like a rusty raver .  
The freaked out FX-sounds we can cherish thanks to the Pearl DRX drum machine; modded and played by Jacob Korn. Due to the odd look also fondly nick-named 'the VCR'. The Pearl, of course, not Jacob.

Serial Error - Afrogothic EP (RAT 18)

When Laura (Ondula) makes jokes out of my kind of extravagant elegance, or about her elaborated saturday-night hair-style, she says that’s “macadam mambo”! When I first listened to her saying this I found it very appropriate.

Sacha Mambo, the man who together with Guillaume des Bois, started the notorious label Macadam Mambo, has been one of Diapason highlights. During the past years Sacha and me were part of the same international underground party scene and ended up putting out a couple of my most known releases, which preluded to the most recent EP “That’s when the Animals turned into humans” made with Laura under the name As Longitude and featuring Twoonky and Paul Arambula. If I remember well, Laura, Sacha and me made the agreement exactly in mid July 2018, in Berlin, just before the night at Sameheads began.

The recent lockdown forced Sameheads to cancel our latest two episodes. Shifting to this hidden virtuality, we want to keep the tradition alive and have reached out to some of our past guests and assembled a Diapason Compilation Tape Vol. 1 featuring new music from some of the artists who inspired us.
