At some point in 2013, Friendly Fires, Andrew Weatherall and Timothy J Fairplay (aka The Asphodells), convened in an east London pub to discuss collaborating on new music together. The plan was to produce music that came from a place outside of their respective usual musical styles - a loose, open-ended process embarked upon for the pure joy of experimentation and collaboration rather than a specific end goal.

The collaboration came on the back of two hugely successful Friendly Fires albums – 2008’s debut Friendly Fires and 2011’s follow up Pala – and an acclaimed debut album from The Asphodells in 2013’s Ruled By Passion Destroyed By Lust, the latest in a long line of classic releases from Andrew Weatherall’s own Rotters Golf Club label.

Recording took place between Weatherall’s Shoreditch studio, The Bunker, and Friendly Fires frontman Ed Macfarlane’s basement studio just a short stroll down the road in Farringdon, using a desk that once belonged to influential German producer Konrad ‘Conny’ Plank to mix the tracks.

The result is ‘Before Your Eyes’ and ‘Velo’ - two brand new tracks that take close to ten minutes each to reveal their full hypnotic glory. The tracks will be released as a AA-sided single on 12” and download and will be the inaugural release on Friendly Fires’ own Telophase label.

[PREMIERE] Yazzus - Play for Keeps [PLOT RECORDS]

DJ Hoshino’s new single on Dancing On Wax captures the heart of lo-fi house with warm pads, nostalgic textures, and an emotive atmosphere. The track stays chilled yet lively, building into an energetic breakdown that keeps it moving. Hoshino blends a stunning breakbeat section that adds a touch of phonk, giving it a fresh edge while staying true to the lo-fi sound. Simple, emotional, and repayable - an essential new cut for the label.

ROAD TO BAMAKO: in just a few days, the ElectrAfrique caravan will be headed to Bamako for our 6th event in the Malian capital... This is a trip back to the roots for us... having kept the show going throughout the ups and downs that the country has known for the last few years... it's been a priority to keep coming back to Bamako, a city we love, to bring pan-African dance music that unites, and to take our Malian fam and friends on a musical journey across the country and to the extremes of the Continent. 

This edition is co-produced with OkayAfrica and Carrefour Creatif, teaming up with very special guest Inna Modja, who will be back home for the occasion, and the brother Abou Denon, the maestro of the Bamakois club scene, along with myself... expect a deep and powerful journey along these DJ vibrations...
