From Above Vol. 3

Insurrection

Ma Spaventi is a wonderfully versatile artist. Over his decade-long career, the Italian musician has turned his capable hand to everything from ambient to techno. Once again, he is expanding his sound palette and challenging expectations with Vicino Lontano.

Across eight tracks, an array of ideas and influences are explored with additional guitar work coming care of Odeon’s Michele Righini. The reflective hues of “Solitario” give way to the warming strings and peaceful brightness of “Crepuscolo.” Written and produced in Amsterdam between 2017 and 2019, beautiful memories of the past are the source of inspiration. Radiating Summer sunshine bathes “Bring Me Back” in a comforting glow, while “Velvet Lights” teases rhythm sections with thick bass lines and shimmering synth work. Moments of introspection arrive in the elegant gliding forms of “Bomber” and “Intermezzo.” The rumbling “End Line” finds harmony amongst a spread of styles, cascading chords and rich textures, all combining beautifully. A moon rise closes, the grand curtain falls on “Bidderosa”,  calling time of this stunning collection.

Vicino Lontano LP

Ma Spaventi - Crepuscolo

With a chilling atmosphere reminiscent of Depeche Mode and Siouxie, Boundless is one of the most mesmerizing cuts from Curses LP Incarnadine thanks to Jennifer Touch’s haunting vocals. Time for this beautiful track to get the remix treatment.

Istanbul-based dj and producer Günce Acı stays true to the original while increasing the tension by blending in her intoxicating signature sound, made of hypnotics & trippy pads and melodies.

With this raw and powerful interpretation, Hamburg based producer L.F.T. aka Love, Fist, Tears is proving once again that he masters his trademark lo-fi electro-wave like no other !

On remix duties Kendal always takes it far away from the original material, embarking us in new directions, and this time we’re diving deep into acid dnb territory.

Nothing Is Real landed for the 28th release with “Disco Knife” by Sugar Rody. Co-founder of the mighty Dark Disko night in Tallin, he delivered a post-punk synth-wave 5 tracks EP, which includes two amazing remixes by the label friends Mufti and Gunce Aci.
‘Disco Knife’ captures the attention with the main synth, that followed by the vocal from the iconic duo Local Suicide, gently drives the composition hugging the dark and distorted guitar solo melody.
The second track ‘Jean Claude’ with his psychedelic guitar and leads, It transports the listeners in a cosmic journey. This is a truly original and mesmerizingly piece of Dark Wave music. The Mexican master Mufti did a remix treatment to this track, giving a special night driver twist with his unique new wave fingerprint.
The third track ‘On The Run’ has an Italo-disco soul, composed by rolling bassline and synth pop melodies.
Finishing off the release is the remix by the Turkish artist based in Istanbul Gunce Aci, which makes a fantastic disco-dub version of the main track ‘Disco Knife’, delivering a pure energetic bliss for every body-mover on the dancefloor.

Sugar Rody Feat. Local Suicide - Disco Knife (Gunce Aci Remix) [Nothing Is Real]

This is the second track in my experimental PM series. These tracks are written, recorded, sampled and performed in a single two hour sitting. 

The idea is that the artificial time limit focuses the mind and sparks creativity - I also find it really good fun.

I'm really please with how this one turned out; there are a few little mistakes in it but I'm leaving them in because that's all part of the process. It's funny, I go back later and try to perform these tracks again and I find I can never quite recapture the feel from the first attempt!

The process here was to record around 10 short snippets in Bandlab, mostly on electric guitar but some synths as well. I then imported everything into Loopy Pro, and applied lots of effects (making heavy use of Other Desert Cities from Audio Damage which is essentially an instrument in it's own right). Then I constructed a beat and looped everything, and recorded a performance live. Not much time for thinking when you try to do all of that in two hours...

SubmitHub tells me the genre is:

IDM / Glitch (39%)
Experimental Electronic (36%)
Ambient (34%)
Downtempo (20%)
Shoegaze (18%)

Those percentages seem very specific to me! Personally I'd put the Shoegaze percentage a bit higher as there are quite a few heavily reverbed/delayed guitars going on here.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think in the comments!

New Dimension

PRÉMIÈRE: Curses - New Dimension [Ombra International]

Described by Crack Magazine as a “hypnotic slow-burner” and noted by Ransom Note as one of the most interesting albums to emerge in 2017, not only did Dollkraut’s second album ‘Holy Ghost People’ herald the launch of Jennifer Cardini and Noura Labbani’s adventurous new label with fitting mystic gusto… It also gave us a beguiling LP that keeps on giving, exciting and inspiring over a year later.

Proof can be found in these three superlative remixes. Subversive Berlin duo OTTO take the lead with a warm, Arabic twist on the album opener ‘Bonnie Says’ by lifting the groove with a little organ-squeezing spring while maintain its faraway haze and mystique. Accurately hyped Romanian-also-in-Berlin Borusiade follows with an overwhelming floor-ready update on ‘Have I Told You’. Already a familiar face with the label, she weaves a chasm-like new-wave narrative that sucks you deep into the mix and galvanises the pundit attention she’s getting right now. Finally Mannequin Records founder Alessandro Adriani joins the party with a tunnelling twist on the somnambulant aesthetic of ‘Valium’. Flipping the dreams for a much darker 3am reality, it will leave your dancefloor pining for more. Don’t worry, there’s plenty more to come. Dischi Autunno are only just warming up…
