How do you stay true to your own sound without repeating yourself? How do you free yourself from the burden of wild expectations? Ultimately, how do you create a “difficult second album” that bucks the trend and sounds at least as fresh and enduring as the first? Rather than searching for answers to all these questions, Douglas Greed ploughs headlong into his second BPitch Control LP Driven, leaving needless doubts for dust in his rear-view mirror. Just keep on going! Someone else can do the soul-searching, he prefers to dedicate his heart and mind to new tracks.
In any case, he was never short of passion or ideas. Douglas Greed has always been driven, and his nature rarely allows him to remain in one place on the genre map for too long. With a musical upbringing ranging from hip hop jams and drum‘n‘bass parties to the darker avenues of pop à la Joy Division, Depeche Mode or Radiohead, his recent years as a producer and live act have always involved thinking far beyond the usual framework of techno and house. The results of these thought processes, always incorporating the hours away from the dance floor, have already been laid bare on his debut album KRL (Freude am Tanzen) and singles for labels including Infiné, Acker and Gigolo.
Driven continues seamlessly in this vein with eleven tracks as rich in variety as they are in detail. The format offers plenty of room to cover a broad stylistic range, always driven by the search for new mu- sical possibilities: from the boisterous peak-time hit “Summerless” to dance floor gems like “Hush Hush” and “B12”. From the yearning pulse of “Further” to the galloping UK patterns of “Fire 5”. The featured vocals are another stand-out element of the album: “Long Distance Swimmer” is arranged around Anna Müller‘s dreamy voice, “My Mind is a Monkey” has support from Delhia, the previously released single “This Time feat. Kuss” and the title track “Driven” feature the unmistakable voice of his Eating Snow colleague Mooryc.
Throughout the album, Douglas Greed plays with changing moods and tempos, always retaining the perfect balance between track and song, playing equally to his strengths as a euphoric stage per- former and a sensitive soul. The exhilarating depth and maturity of his sound and his independent production process mean that all these elements combine on Driven to whisk the listener away on a grand journey. This is a journey – driven by the desire for new horizons – that effortlessly opens our eyes and ears, revealing that the heart of electronic music still beats loud enough to pump endor- phins through our veins. It reveals the road ahead for anyone who, like Douglas Greed, likes to throw themselves wholeheartedly into each new venture. And those who are open to the challenge are likely to complete even mammoth tasks like the dreaded second album with great aplomb.

BPC288 Douglas Greed -  Further

With ten strong releases under their belts, Multi Culti label mates Von Party and Dreems join forces in-between hammock-duty and kale-fanning sessions to present this collection of exploratory études and vibey interludes.

Culled from Von Party’s arsenal of half-mad demos of primitive, raw loopy fun, these tracks move to their own beat, or to no beat at all. With the ambient Multinational DNA (Strand 1 & 2) as bookends, the EP properly kicks off with ‘Western Central,’ swinging open the saloon doors of your mind, strutting outwards into the unknown. 

‘Mayan Voyager,’ a nod to the art car the duo played on this year in Black Rock City, takes things even deeper with a slow-burning, spacey afro-sex-cult disco vibe. It’s not a record you’ll play at every party, but for the rare freaky times when the tempo is low but the dance-floor has a witchy, pagan intensity, put this on and take (your clothes) off. ‘Mushrooms on the Hill’ follows gently, inspired by the calm and quiet of a sunrise mushroom ritual. Next up, ‘Flea Market’ filter-polishes a sample of a Kolo-Beti festival song, adding synths, flutes, percussion, and love, to light-hearted sun-worshipping effect.

Punctuated by mating calls, children mingling, jungle frogs, and the noise and dust of many a scratched-up record, this is a scattered patchwork of memories, dreams, and reflections from voyages of the mind.

Vermont-based pj-co introduces a unique sonic fingerprint on Morsel Fin, his debut for Crossfade Sounds. Blending downtempo aesthetics with glitchy dub sensibilities, the EP explores four distinctive moods. Highlights include the atmospheric "Adherence," the quirky "Phobos Five & Dime," and the deep-space drift of "Unmink."

After the great KOBOI EP and the internationally acclaimed song and videoclip It's Happening,  the transmedia artist KnoR is presenting his new project entitled “Don’t Go”. The 3 tracks music release features a music video and a mobile app. As a modern storyteller, KnoR reaches from pop music to virtual reality (VR) to spread a message of freedom. No less.

KnoR's new EP “Don’t Go” is composed of two original tracks and a remix by Canson. The title track Don't Go is a rich and surprising song: as the beat brings the listener back to the club, the lyrics are floating on a warm bass melody surrounded by a soundscape of rhythms with a very natural feel.

The message of the song is intensified in the music video realised with Berlin based filmmaker Xaver Xylophon. The movie invites the audience to step back and think. Walking through his life, KnoR questions his relationship to this place we call home: a place with borders and a nawhere we are too easily fooled.

The cornerstone of the release is the VR application developed with the computational artist Mativa and the Geneva based interactive studio apelab. “Don’t Go” becomes a virtual refuge where the user can immerse in an experience of total perception to forget his fears and the influence of daily media propaganda. 

Don’t Go. It’s easy to get in, but will you be able to get out?

PREMIERE: AFAR - Urbanist [ Drosssel ]

Shika Shika is proud to present “Rwandance” the third album by German multi-instrumentalist @andiotto. Anyone that has had the opportunity to see Andi’s live performance knows about his talent as cellist and was no doubt blown away by his self-made device, the “Fello” - a sensor-extended cello bow.

“Rwandance” sees And move into new territory - born out of a meeting between And and Rwandan musician and dancer Evariste Karinganire, while collaborating for the music of dance piece Planet Kigali.

“The idea was to first listen to a music archive of songs and instrumental recordings of instruments from Rwanda. Then I tried to transform this material into my own sound. I was mesmerised from the very first moment when I heard this beautiful language: Kinyarwanda alongside these instruments like the Umuduri a percussive bow instrument, and rhythmical structures, like the 5/4 and 3/4 feelings which are the basis of many songs.”

Andi has a talent for using technology in a way that is touching and touchable, enticing out warm and organic tones from his machines. On “Rwandance” this sensibility enters into a perfect dialog and harmony with the traditional Rwandan rhythms. His break away from the traditional 4/4 structures of electronic music is not only refreshing but full of groove.

"Planet Kigali“ was premiered at Kampnagel in Hamburg at the end of 2018:

"Planet Kigali“ is about a bunch of time-travellers who come back from the future to our present year. They remember that there had still been borders and passports in 2019, a fine, utopian plot… and they represent a hypothesis of what aspects of Rwanda’s cultural tradition could look and sound like in 200 years. The time-warp makes it possible to shift the focus away from the topic of the country’s horrible genocide. Instead of investigating a post-traumatic society, the piece tries to jump ahead to the future and to the past simultaneously. Between old memories or recordings and our dreams, fears or expectations of the future.”

Andi Otto - Igisasa (feat. Evariste Karinganire)

For our delight, Indio Blanco presents to us a 6-track EP named "El Caracol y La Luna" that travels by distinct sonorities and moments of his career, highlighting the diversity on references that passed by the artist's fruition during the last decades. Indio Blanco is the new alias given to the multimedia project created by the Dutch pioneer and multifaceted artist Piet Jan Blauw.

Piet Jan started his career by combining and developing distinct techniques through his painting with water, oil-paint, etchings, silkscreens, jewellery ( silver, acrylic and rubber ), brass sculptures and kinetic objects. He was a member of the artist union "BBK 69" (1970-1989). Also Piet Jan lectured at the Folk High School in Bergen, the N.S. training school for teachers in Haarlem and the International Make Up Art School in Cologne – Germany.

For the past five decades he's been involved on several incredible projects with talents such as the Mexican pre-hispanic masterminds Jorge Reyes, Cheko Mosqueira and Alyosha Barreiro. In the Netherlands he built partnerships with notorious deejays like DJ Isis and DJ Dimitri Kneppers and collaborations with avant-garde talents from around the globe.

Since the early 70s, Piet Jan Blauw started crafting and performing with interactive kinetic installations which became the foundation of his performances. These installations were quite substantial therefore the artist started to craft smaller sensorial sculptures and use them as instruments. He uses this signature technique until nowadays.
