Clips from the Die Verboten double album '2007' released on DEEWEE on 30/10/15 via Word&Sound and Kobalt/AWAL. 

Die Verboten 003 - White Island (90 Second Clip)

After a thirty something career in the acid house trenches Justin Robertson proves he can still hit the spot as he turns in a delightful remix alongside a host of current luminaries on PBR Streetgang's 'Late Night Party Line' album remix package. With 'How To Be A Human Being' Justin nudges up the energy a touch on PBR's chilled album opener, injecting new life into Lily Juniper genteel vocal line over some melancholic strings, classy keys and floaty reverse pads; all the while an electro-fied bass line throbs away under it all. A real beauty.

Palavas are two mysterious producers hailing from the South of France ready to position themselves as one of the hottest new Indie Dance duos on the scene. Their name, ​Palavas​, is a reference to Palavas-les-Flots (FR), a vacation town near their home that in the 1980’s owned the prestigious title of "Queen of Mediterranean Beaches.” In their music, Palavas aims to recapture this golden era, with sun drenched italo-disco elements, and summery beats.

The duo has already been busy making a mark on the scene. Their first eps were released on​ Intercept Records​ in addition to their own label, ​AZZUR, and have ​garnered DJ support by acts such as ​Hot Toddy, Gilles Peterson, Folamour, Ame, Laurent Garnier, Marcus Worgull, Grazzz, Crackazat​ and more.​ T​hey’ve also been busy DJing, with highlight performances at the​ "I Love Techno​" and "Big Bang Music Festivals" in Europe.

Cocktail EP - https://fanlink.to/cocktailEP

Having released his acclaimed debut EP in 2019 on Eskimo Recordings and wowed crowds with his full live band Belgian artist Orson Wouters, aka https://soundcloud.com/transistorcake, returns with the 'Cocktail' EP. Released this July the EP features 6 brand new tracks that expertly blends together everything from bubbling acid melodies to pounding disco drums, spiky post-punk bass, ambient tones and industrial percussion to create a refreshing if intoxicating brew.

"I've always thought cocktails were a perfect way to introduce an imaginary world," Orson explains. "They come in so many different colours and tastes, each with its own different glass to pour them into. Everybody has their own preferences, their own ways of making them, they're an art really. And that whole idea suits the songs on this EP. It’s all about imagination, a bit of fantasy. When I listen to these songs I see a perfect, beautiful cocktail party in front of me where everybody is dressed up to the nines and having their best time."

Serving as an aperitif the EP opens with 'Cocktail Op.1', an elegant moment of synth led electronica, sparkling and crystalline just like the Frozen Margherita the track's narrator describes. Conjuring up visions of glamorous alcohol adverts from the 1970s, all glittering diamonds, plunging necklines and seductive looks, it's the perfect way to ease yourself into Transistorcake’s fantasy world.

Having warmed us up, it's down to business with 'Grenadine', which Orson describes as just a "good old fashioned TB-303 dance track" and who are we to argue seeing as everybody loves a 303 and we're partial to an Old Fashioned too. Throw the two together and the result is a funky, low slung jam, that maintains just the right tempo for dancing whilst ensuring your drink will be safe on the dancefloor.

Having worked up just the hint of a sweat there we segue into the aptly titled 'Melted', a languorous moment of downtempo electronica. Driven along by a bass line that will transport you, alarmingly coloured drink in hand of course, to a Baja beach as the sun slowly dips below the Pacific horizon, turning the ocean into molten gold, close your eyes, feel the sand between your toes and picture Transistorcake and his live band soundtracking the scene.

"I wanted these songs to sound as if Transistorcake is playing them next to a swimming pool or on a beach with live drums and bass," says Orson. "A trail of wires just running through the leaves of exotic plants, people dancing barefoot in between the band, nothing but blue skies above us."

Having refreshed ourselves it's back to the dancefloor with 'Pina', named after one of Orson's favourite cocktails. Upping both the tempo and the energy, the constantly evolving synthesiser melody, ably supported by clattering drums and a fuzzy bass guitar all come together to deliver an uplifting, hazy number that whilst as fun as its namesake is unlikely to leave you with as many regrets.

Acting as a companion piece to the EP opener 'Cocktail Op.2' explores a similar theme and sense of arrangement though perhaps after the consumption of several drinks as the synth melody takes on a more ecstatic, wild feel, the mood ably summed up by the track’s narrator as she tries to describe the overwhelming beauty surrounding her.

Finally, and perhaps aptly, the EP concludes on a slightly subdued note with 'Mosquito Mojito'. We’ve all been there, sat at the end of the night when everybody else has jumped in their taxis and you’re left all alone with just angry insects for company and a mess of empty cocktail glasses to clean up, but at least you have a new headful of good memories and now a new song to soundtrack those moments. And a headache, of course, there’s always a headache.

International Love Affair + Remixes EP

Shepherd Song (Esa & His Afro-Synth Band Version) [feat. Afla Sackey, Antibalas, Gally Ngoveni, Nono Nkoane, Sibusile Xaba, Thabang Tabane & Tony Allen]

As Southern Shores, Jamie Townsend and Ben Dalton create sonic oases — patchworks of ephemera culled from all corners of the world.  Beginning with their inaugural EP, Atlantic, for Cascine in 2011, the Toronto-based duo has developed a signature style of deeply layered electronic music evoking faraway locales, out of space and time. A collage of samples and found sound, their songs cohere around soulful melodies delivered with a soft gaze and a playful heart.  Following the release of the Siena (Part I) EP earlier this year, the Shores are now sharing Parts I and II, collected together as the full-length album titled Siena.  Written over the last year in Jamie and Ben’s shared residence — a hundred-year-old home in Parkdale, Toronto — the songs of Siena drift at the pace of life. Flecks of tropicalia and funk fade into the mix, as well as dreamy house, Balearic and downtempo textures. As a collection, it has the feeling of something once lost, now recovered.  “The mood of the record is more of a sunset, rather than midday bliss,” says Jamie. “It’s that subtle melancholy that lies beneath the bright textural exterior.”  If the first half of the record evokes the watercolor hues of the setting sun, then Siena's second half captures the moments just after — when the world is bathed in soft blues, and dusk ushers in the slowness of the coming twilight. Compared to the vibrant rhythms of tracks like "Estrisa" and "Tropea," these later songs soften the tempo and wind down to a more relaxed, introspective pace.
The Shores construct their songs primarily by molding and manipulating samples into melodic structures, using synths and beats as a backbone and adding live guitar elements. “We wanted to discover a more intuitive process of working together,” Jamie explains. “Our goal was to trust ourselves, allowing the samples and ideas to guide the process, and to avoid overworking or overthinking anything.” The new material on Siena is more freeform and less beholden to traditional song structures. “It’s more of an organic or improvisational sound, and more at peace with itself,” says Jamie. That gut-level ethos is encapsulated by one of the first voices you hear on the record, on album opener “Saes”: “I really, really feel free for the first time. I’m starting to live for the here and now. I’m not scared anymore.”  As heard across the album's advance singles, the Shores excel at infusing their music with an imaginative, global worldview and a distinctly human spirit. With Siena, they capture the essence of escapism — the sense of longing for open waters, a downwind breeze, and a far-off fantasy.
