DRUMZ SOLO : épisode consacré à la batterie dans la musique électronique. On survolera le courant de la drum & bass qui signifie littéralement batterie et basse. On entendra également beaucoup de breakbeats de Jungle et ce nouveau courant appelé drum & bass & guitar qui n'existe pas.

IL Y A QQE CHOSE KI CLOCHE (03/06/22) w/ Musique Chienne

René Danger is back with his "Gwerz Boy" EP and transversal project mixing music (indeed), but also a fanzine and a video game on an actual Game Boy cartridge!
With "Enez Eusa", René Danger tells a traditional Breton gwerz (lament) about the loss of loved ones at sea, readapted over minimalist gameboy arpeggios. 
Plot twist and spoilers: it ends in a cathartic gabber apotheosis.

To illiustrate this crazy project which will be released on May 12 on Editentés, here's a videoclip based on the Gwerzboy videogame, developed by René Danger too:

Mt. Fuyu - A Mirror To Weave
Cat. Nr: DN024
Format: DL
Release Date: June 2, 2023
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/MtFuyu

A grave and sprawling epic, Mt. Fuyu’s A Mirror to Weave swells with implication. Written, recorded, and produced from the heart of a person who’s lived through life’s struggles much too young, the album is a ferment of ideas and experiences that together capture the sheer strangeness, beauty, and terror of existence. Born in China and immigrating to the United States with his parents in infancy, the Kansas City-based artist—otherwise known as Fu Liu—moved from the coastal province of Shandong to America’s Midwest in the early 2000s. The dot-com crash to follow led to living precariously with his father in Canada, then a short stint in foster care, before settling into a strict regimen of academic and musical pursuits on the family’s return to the US.

This classical jazz education and scholarly background comes through in A Mirror to Weave, where an endless inventory of influences—crossing Coil, The Caretaker, Burial; Mark Fisher, Hito Steyerl, Carl Jung, and more—is steeped in a sublime brew of drone, post-industrial and ambient; hauntology, dub and bass. Rife with the trauma of the past, and the expansive landscapes of the present, opener “Temple” billows with decayed, distended, and eerily pitched vocals, as an arrhythmic pulse grows then crashes in a surge of noise and distortion. The disturbance rumbles through other tracks too, as the subaqueous current of “Swamp Nymphs” roils and fizzes around a crumble of pads and sine waves, while resampled and effects-laden drums charge head-first into the spooky atmospherics of “Ovre” with an erratic urgency.

Although often muted, muffled or restrained, the voice and its whispered words play a central role in A Mirror to Weave. It’s in the existential drift of “Shells”, as Fu Liu’s sweetly sung words (“seen it all/ a black hole”) ripple over a melancholy piano solo; environmental field recordings fluttering delicately just beneath the surface. The audio is taken from the parks, streets, bars, as well as online spaces Fu Liu inhabits, giving the record its heavy sense of grief and alienation. Wandering through the emotional state of pandemic-era estrangement, while also mourning the passing of friends, A Mirror to Weave is a requiem for the worst that’s already been, and an exaltation of the best that’s yet to come.

Edited Arts is launching Beyond Shame, Any Second by DJ Meddle.

Beyond Shame, Any Second opens with a call and response, a melody relayed over a damaged line, altered by its journey. Throughout this debut EP, that broken signal is forged into jagged rhythms and raw club pressure.

Space defines Meddle's sound: skeletons of dance styles paused and peppered by deftly chosen samples and oddness. A love letter to Porto, echoes of London's dread. Chopped, ripped apart, fused back together, just enough and never too much.

Twenty Five Four features Ece Canlı, the Porto-based Turkish researcher and artist, soon to launch her debut album on local mainstay Lovers & Lollypops. Recorded in one enchanting take at Stop studios, Ece’s spectral voice glides out of a cadaverous instrumental, only to steer and bewitch it in the end

The thumbnail from the Ytube upload of The Ones - Absolutely Flawless is that emo-club picture of the woman with headphones on listening to a song looking really fallen, a swirl of light about her as if that is music itself or her own feelings made visible. It’s a thumbnail for a Traktor tutorial vid, or was it my 2010 HD desktop wallpaper? Wait that’s actually some private information… keep it to yourself please.

Meddle samples the word and it’s a good one: “correction”, and repeats it. It’s not that you or me or us if you’ll let me lump (us) together, need reminding of Absolutely Flawless for a smile, it’s that it’s actually quite difficult to cope with the day to day chronic loss of placeness, opportunity, collective spirit, when lyrics from tracks like these speak of things you’ve never experienced, or had said to you, which begs the Q’ who or what is flawless? Who’s shaming who? Am I the listener embarrassed to live a life not up to the sentiment of the song, or should u as the producer be uncomfortable to make me feel this way?

Meddle and Ece Canlı made a 15min track that is the exact opposite of a neon slow-shutterspeed glowstick swirl. It’s the royal gate music for the princeless, the loading music for a game about true bonds where the confidence to not be unspoiled is the mechanic.

These samples and sounds on here are special because they fit together not untouched but touched in this way. This isn’t music of extra loneliness for the already alone, or of shininess for the dull and lowly, it’s the music that says – “I’ll be there any second”–  for you, and just for you.
