MENTAL SHAKE

Our tenth OTOROKU release sees a return to the group that kick-started the label - the veteran German reedsman and free jazz pioneer Peter Broetzmann with the long-running London bass/drums partnership of John Edwards and Steve Noble. After the release of '…The Worse The Better' that group went on to play a series of devastating shows in Europe and to emerge as one of Broetzmann's finest working groups. Over the same period Peter was developing a deep rapport with Jason Adasiewicz, the upstart vibraphone player from Chicago. What seems on paper like an awkward pairing reveals itself on stage and on record as a symbiotic revelation. Adasiewicz's physical attack matching Broetzmann for impact whilst the extended sustain of the vibes opens up an eerie space for some of Broetzmann's most fertile lyricism.

The recording is from the last set of a two-day residency at Cafe OTO that brought these two groups together for an astonishing quartet. Adasiewicz and Noble struck up an immense partnership in rhythm. Edwards wrestled with a broken house bass and failing amplifier and still managed new levels of invention - stoking the others onwards. Broetzmann was clearly energised - I swear I saw him dancing at the side of the stage whilst exchanging a shattered reed. And for all the usual rhetoric of Free Jazz bluster and machismo, this is a meeting characterised by the joy of communal creation that makes you want to dance - even if only in your head.

Panoptikon is a suite of vocal & electronic music composed by Maria W Horn for an installation in the disbanded Vita Duvan panoptic prison (The White Dove Prison) in Luleå, Sweden.

Panoptikon

"Sounds hide within shadows, and what might be a discreet scrape on a cymbal could equally be an inconspicuously stroked guitar string. The musicians feed their material into the space, enough to be picked up by their feedback system, after which they ride their own sounds, penetrating inside the noise to throw its shapes." - Philip Clark, The Guardian

Utterly beguiling recording of two great improvisers at work in the Hara Museum, Tokyo in the winter of 2013. Drumset, percussion, guitar, amplifier - a simple set up that produces complex and extremely dynamic results, with immense swells of enveloping feedback, fragile cymbal scrapes that hover at the edge of audibility, ecstatic free-rock clatter and slyly resonant melodies.

"Adamance" by Yves De Mey from the forthcoming "Drawn With Shadow Pens" 2xLP due out January 2016.

"Adamance" by Yves De Mey

How does it feel on the side 
of the world when the war is on?
we're still looking for a place
but in between the dark void is deep

Uh I'm walking in a graveyard 
I say goodbye
Uh the sunshine is still there
it's a gift, it's amazing grace

Even if we felt in chains 
we were at our best and alive
You're vanishing like dust
when it blows your memories out

Uh I don't forget to thank
for each second that I have
Uh the weapons will now rest
'cause we blend this amazing grace

Religion has destroyed churches
Flashes in the dark
In the sleeplees city of fuzz

From that day we always bring
ematite bracelets and seeds
we meditate and observe
the tiny details of the sphere

Uh no time left to waste
a stranger has come
Uh we stipulate a pact
under the sign of a brand new day

Machine Woman - I Can Mend Your Broken Heart (Kassem Mosse Remix) [Where To Now?]

Under a new alias, Lobster Theremin don Jimmy Asquith treats all to a dose of needle-breaking sounds at a nosebleed bpm. Asquith's tendencies for variety and deep, diverse breadth of musical talent is what Lobster Theremin has become known for. Any time that isn't spent heading up the revered label, is spent fabricating music that shares the Lobster manifesto. Having consistently catapulted talent such as Palm Trax and Manse onto our hard drives, it seems only fitting that the label boss is now displaying his own ability to kill it in the musical laboratory.

Tom Hang's upcoming The New World EP sees the label boss weave a narrative of escapism and delirium, from which “In The Deep” stands king. Toeing the line between immersive deep pulses, organ rupturing modulations and teetering melodies, “In The Deep” tackles techno from a number of angles – keeping you hooked throughout.

"In The Deep" emerges on 2nd October via Where To Now.
