Violet - New Visions [PARAISO005]

Andrea

Intonal Electronic Picnic was one of those special summer days to remember. My set was a love letter to the rave scene, containing oldies as well as newer and forthcoming stuff.

Things got wild towards the end and the recorder had a 15 minute blackout - hence a fade over around 40 mins into the mix. Those of you who weren't there will have to imagine the mayhem and bliss.

Murder On The DFloor (Blooms Pump Edit)

Four stunning remixes of Front De Cadeaux by our Fabrizio Mammarella. Comprising Hugo Sanchez from Rome and DJ Athome from Bruxelles, Front De Cadeaux serve up three brand new tracks of 4/4 leaning crackling, static dance-mechanics that will fit straight in to your peak time selection. Touching on tribal house at points and the foggy basements of Berlin in others these remixes are joined by Mammarella’s 'Pedé BPM’ re-work - a gnarly slice of synthetic EBM that was previously only available digitally.

Al Onzo ‎– "Tango Japan" (Mothball Record ALONZ01)

Lisbon continues to thrive musically and Violet is one of the city's most active artists. Paraíso is her natural habitat - she contributed to the first-ever record on the label and has remained in its inner circle.

'New Visions' is Violet's testament of a love for ever-evolving sonic languages while doing a notable job in encapsulating her myriad influences. From the acid-tinged, moodier palette of the One Eyed Jacks days to the jungle-influenced sounds expressed in her latest works to the very early influence of 90s portuguese dance music, this EP embraces it all - and then some.

The title track seems to speak of hope and resistance, layering oneiric arpeggiated bleeps with deconstructed breaks and a heavy sub that morphs into a drone wave, washing emotions anew. Kaos V, admittedly a homage to the sound of the iconic label Kaos that pioneered a local, stripped down dance sound in Lisbon, sounds like a mysterious prophecy, equal parts ancient and futuristic.

Junqueira is a left-of-centre roller that resorts to metallic synths, raw drums and even a digi cello to manifest a sense of club unity. The record closes with the slower-paced syncopated groove of High In Forest Hill: a dancehall-referencing bass sits under acid modulations, eerie vocal synths and a snare drum that just won't stand still.

Since participating in the Red Bull Music Academy 2008, Violet has made a name for herself as one of the most inventive producers on the Portuguese dance music scene. Her latest EP, 'New Visions', shows off her colorful palette and varied brushstrokes in four intriguingly dissimilar tracks. Starting off the record's b-side, "Junqueira" demonstrates Violet's ability to sculpt each element in a tune with utmost precision. There's something almost unsettling about the track and yet it keeps the wheels spinning with its propulsive groove.

Violet's 'New Visions' EP is out on Discos Paraíso February 22nd and can be pre-ordered here: https://lobsterrecords.co.uk/products/violet-new-visions

With the vision of spreading love through music, french music label Novaj is doing so with their latest VA compilation 'Utopia'. This 20 track EP features tracks from underground music heavyweights such as, Madcat, Chevals, Matthieu Faubourg, Mangabey, and M.ono to name a couple. With sounds ranging from classic french house to loop oriented sample based house, this EP delivers on all aspects. Brûle is a classic house track produced by French producer Herr Krank. This track uplifts your mood with its Kerri Chandler inspired piano key riffs and lively drums but switches the formula up with a hip-hop drum pattern and acid breaks in the middle of the track. 

Utopia is out now on Bandcamp

Utopia

PREMIERE: Herr Krank - Brûle (Novaj)

Paraíso é uma plataforma multi-dimensional: toma a forma de programa de rádio, editora e noite para celebrar a música a que um dia chamaram "underground house music from a paradise called portugal".
Uma homenagem à rave portuguesa que nasceu nos anos 90 e continua, hoje, a trilhar o seu caminho. Desde as lendas dos tempos da Kaos e do Alcântara-Mar aos produtores contemporâneos influenciados pelo espírito original da rave tuga, todo este contínuo serve de inspiração para a Paraíso. Para que a nossa herança nunca se perca e continue a polvilhar o inconsciente colectivo.
