Online shopping had become her vice, or perhaps you could call it an addiction. Every day an influx of parcels in all manner of shapes and sizes arrived at the door, it was a wonder she could find any room to house them. Clothes and paintings to ornaments and records; the number of materialistic goods that littered each room far outweighed the depths of her purse. But she enjoyed the anticipation, there was nothing like waiting for that next arrival.

Gothenburg's Höga Nord Rekords add to their evergrowing catalogue of mind-expanding sonics with a solo album 'I'm An Arpeggiator' from Stiletti-Ana, who makes up part of hazy electronic duo Jesse. There are nods to the sound and production characteristics of Jesse's work across the LP, but it's imbued with mysterious, ancient atmospheres, influenced by the Babylonian fishing god, Dagan, realised through the Finnish producer's huge collection of vintage synthesizers.

PREMIERE: Stiletti-Ana - Waiting For EMP [Höga Nord Rekords]

Selección Dura: Justine Forever

Veslemes (aka Felizol) makes his debut on Invisible Inc with this astonishing new album that comes hot on the heels of last year's ground-shaking I Know Where You Live Vangelis!.

With Apolithoma film director Yannis Veslemes takes us further into the dark crevices of his psyche.

The album's themes are inspired by the dystopian  sci-fi of JG Ballard's The Drowned World and The Crystal World: both novels eerily prophetic in their dystopian visions of an irradiated Earth over which a bloated, blinding sun makes living as we know it bearable only within a few hours around dawn and dusk. Sea levels have risen and cities that are not wholly flooded are overgrown with emergent new flora adapting to this new and hostile environment.

In more remote locations, overgrown jungles and forests are exhibiting signs of a strange crystallisation: entire swathes of jungle petrified, calcified, crystalized, fauna included...and stories of missing explorers rumoured to themselves have crystalized!

An allegory for our times, for sure....but more importantly, the album is as adventurous musically as it is conceptually. Where on the surface we have stories themed around an external dystopian world, the music, like the rising floodwater, presents us with a lens through which to look at the internal world: on one hand a distorted prism into what lurks beneath, yet at the same time a perfect reflection - a mirror into the psyche.

At times dark, at times playful, unreservedly psychedelic, the album's wildly different musical styles all capture an atmosphere that is as profound and mystical as it is unique. It's clear too that Veslemes' background in film and OST production has a strong influence making the whole album seem like an imaginary soundtrack to a film that never was. Several of the pieces are strongly reminiscent of the early works of Barry Adamson...but where these faux soundtracks were solely dark and brooding (in particular the classic Moss Side Story) Apolithoma adds mystique, profundity and light which balances the music perfectly.

Featuring an assortment of guest musicians on saxophone, clarinet, vibraphones, oboe, guitars and other instruments not often heard in partnership with electronic music, the resulting collection of songs is up there with the best of Invisible Inc.

Apolithoma (meaning fossil in Greek) was conceived and recorded during the spring of 2020 under the influence of J.G Ballard’s writings and the perplexity of migraine labyrinthitis vertigo episodes."

Apolithoma

INVINC 30LP Veslemes - Apolithoma 2x12" [samples] [Out June 2021]

Freeride Millenium label co-founder Jorkes quickly follows up his well received Wet Dream EP with a new five tracker including remixes from Younger Than Me and Curses.

Jorkes is the driving force behind the ever-excellent Freeride Millenium label, he hosts a residency at radio 80000 alongside ParisBöhm and has been busy producing and streaming over the last year, despite the pandemic. His recent ‘Wet Dreams’ release was a critical success, with BBC radio support, a raft of press coverage and a mass of DJ support, now he follows that up with this latest inventive and rugged EP of club sounds.

Opener 'All Your Juices' has snappy snares and a taught, tight groove that makes for a mechanical rhythm. It eventually grows looser with big synth sounds and vamping chords that layer in fluidly and a great sense of electronic funk. Remixers Younger Than Me are a Berlin based duo that represents a link between the old and the new. They have released on the likes of Tusk Wax and here flip the original into a dark and pulsing tune with hammering drums and edgy, trance influenced synths.

In original form, 'Dancer in the Dark' has a kinetic drum and hit combination that makes you immediately jerk your body. As the synth energy grows, celestial chords bring light and cosmic rays and take you off into the future. Dark disco don Curses then steps up with another brilliantly rugged and raw remix that layers sleazy synths into angular drums. Finally, the brilliant 'Afraid of Letting You Go' has an eerie and mysterious vibe with crashing hits and unsettling synths that make for a dystopian abandoned warehouse feel.

Once again here Jorkes has cooked up left of centre sounds that draw on synth, disco and techno in bold new ways. Artwork as always comes from the ever creative Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Release date: 04/6/21
Purchase: https://www.deejay.de/Cafe_de_la_Jungle_Dancing_with_Cicadas_EP_DLD001_Vinyl__973724

The artistic roots of Cafe de la Jungle lie in electronic music, a fluid traversin through abundance of rhythms, sounds, and subtle impressions in order to reveal and celebrate the primal instincts of the listener. Symbolic mythologies of the outer and inner world carefully craft sonic rituals in a space where modernity meets indigenous traditions in hypnotic trippy soundscapes.
Dancing with Cicadas debut EP delivers elegantly synthetic narration, amplified by the modular wires. Entrenched in the grooves of the jungle, every track mirrors a different conceptual and esthetic journey into our transcendental connection to the earth. .
The recording emerged from a powerful urge to create a universe of never-ending journeys between movement of dancing spirits and the mathematical language of sound.
Engaging your inner listener-creator, you are invited to bring to life your own dreams guided by the sounds we create in honor of the development of your spirit. We combine electronics and folklore with live subcultural soundscapes using various ethnic instruments, voice and anything else that helps you dive deeper into acoustic and spiritual experience. Through this platform we explore mystical dreamlike states with a sense of futurism in it.

Making TimeSQUARE RADio™️ with Dave P. @ Times Square Transmissions 05 - 17 - 2021

When porcelain hits the floor it is seen as a promise for a brighter 
time. A time in that we calm down and reconnect to a higher grace 
in order to find contentment in the imperfections and 
impermanence of our human experience.  Kinsuby reassembles fragments of legendary music from Kraut to  Disco. Just like Japanese artists recompose wonky pottery with  gold. This can also be seen as a metaphor for life. Here our fractures are the actual gold veins and a portal to growth, creativity, knowledge and bliss.
The 8th Release is a remix for Wasuremono by berlin based artist 
Maltitz.  Through the super high BPM Maltitz puts all the craziness of the last months in this remix. The German Vocals don’t make a lot of 
sense and are quite funny – a reminder for not forgetting to laugh 
and be silly.

PREMIERE : Kinsuby - Wasuremono (Maltitz Remix)

Who are they? Where are they from? Or maybe you should ask who is it? One, two or an infinite number of higher beings trying to unify everyone through sounds from around the globe. A mysterious entity behind the name of “Tribalistic Junkies Of Universe” graces you with a four track musical journey for “Global Unification”.

Ransom Note welcome Lunar Orbit Rendezvous to the fold. Renamed and reinvigorated from his former LOR incarnation a few years back, Belfast producer Gregory Ferguson has created a textured landscape of aural oddities that take the LP form of an ambient tapestry. Faith/Reason traverses the boundaries of space we find in the twilight hours when the world stands still for a second and we're reminded of the fragility of the lives we inhabit.
