DAAF012 - special episode to launch Fu.ME014 V/A "DAAF TRAX" out on Feb 2022 on Fu.ME BandCamp

DAAF012_Jauzas the Shining

Galactic Funk co-founder Bertram lands on Dead Channel with his debut EP Kibra Cadena. Literally translated as ‘break chains’ in Aruban creole, and broadly referencing the breaking of colonial chains of imperial oppression, this six track EP of tense, brooding rhythms is driven and gritty. Spanning mutated psychedelic dub, Giallo-tinged cinematix, frenzied insidious acid, and methodically churning crispers, this stunning work is singular in its execution and focused in its vision. Visceral, heady, and relentless, this dark, genre-defying gem is a tour de force in sonic mastery.

Releases on limited cassette and digital March 18, 2022.

Dalmata Daniel ‎– DDD08
Kabal - Vampire Castle EP
[Digital / Exclusive Ltd. Merchandise]

"I simply like something that could be likened to the essence or mythology of a genre, which ironically goes against my broader beliefs, because essentialism is something I abhor, but in music as a discipline, it's perhaps innocuous."

Vampire Castle EP by now Prague-based musician Andrej Kabal explores and subverts the framework of a particular genre, its boundaries whether elastic or sturdy. Being constrained by stylistic tropes can be surprisingly liberating, and perhaps ephemeral too, a mirage. The tracks resulted from spontaneous sessions: from experimenting with text-to-speech to strumming on a guitar. Deeply personal, the EP reflects a specific period of his life.

"These tracks came to life in my room while I was living in Petržalka (a concrete-block district in Bratislava), where I could amazingly listen to music until 4am undisturbed, so I was able to delve into production. I can relive this vibe when I listen to the tracks again. The dimly lit room, me smoking at 5am on the balcony, observing the sleepy Petržalka council estate unrolling in front of my eyes."

The mood of the EP is opaque and mellow, like that fleeting time of the day, where dusk is transposed into dawn; slightly menacing (like a John Carpenter soundtrack, one of Kabal's perhaps more obvious inspirations on this release), with spots of light seeping through.
The title "Vampire Castle" was inspired by Mark Fisher's concept and uses samples from his work. “Individualise and privatise everything”, “essentialise”: we are all doomed indeed, but as Fisher wrote “Outside the Vampires’ Castle, anything is possible.”

Bliss Under Pressure #4 w/ sch_tsch (09.04.2022)

Chris Mitchell is a DJ, producer and label owner. He is no stranger to a rising South America scene, or to the bonafide establishments of  Concrete (Paris), Tresor /  Griessmuehle / 
://about blank (Berlin), Propaganda (Moscow). Starting out of Tampa in the '90s as a hip-hop DJ, Mitchell has come a long way from his street mentality and blue collar background, but it no doubt influenced his approach to sound, ranging from futuristic and soulful to raw and gritty. He's built a profile for himself as co-owner of the Vanguard Sound label and its sister Anunnaki Cartel with partner Amir Alexander. With Anunnaki Cartel and Vanguard Sound they have had several successful releases, with producers such as Traxx, DJ Spider, Hakim Murphy, Dakini 9 and Joey Anderson. He has released and remixed on a variety of labels such as Pildoras Tapes, Squirrels on Film, Sistrum, Plan B Recordings, Proper Traxx, Concrete, and music licensed for an Otsgut Ton compilation.

Co-founder of Sons of Traders, Berlin based TANS debuts on Dead Channel with this collection of darkened acid electro and analog broken-beat heaters. Stripped-down percussion, raw gut-punch basses, occult vocalisms, and unsettling atmospherics that linger in the shadows meld seamlessly together in this blighted jewel. Not to be missed!

Interdimensional Warlock - "Your" Planet?

Entropia-Entalpia - Hantent Mes Pensées

Tides of the Beyond is a ceremonial ambient journey crafted for deep inner exploration, guided by the soothing elements of the ocean. Inspired by the sensations of lying on warm sand, hearing distant seagulls, feeling the sea breeze on your skin, and dissolving into the rhythm of the waves, this album is designed for truffle journeys and expanded states of consciousness.

With layered soundscapes, nature textures, subtle trance elements, and ethereal female vocals, each track invites you to surrender, drift, and return transformed. A musical odyssey between shore and soul where boundaries blur and the tide takes you beyond.

Created for psychedelic ceremonies, meditative dance, and lying fully immersed in nature’s embrace.
Best experienced with headphones, eyes closed, and heart open.
