Bright Light is part of a 64-artist compilation on Paralaxe Editions with all proceeds going to Médecins Sans Frontières. This charity has been chosen as the benefactor as Paralaxe is not only familiar with their mission statement and field work, but many of their medical colleagues have directly worked with the organisation in different locations around the globe. MSF currently has doctors and staff on the ground in Gaza, and they are actively working to treat patients and get desperately needed supplies across the border.

On top of the music, Paralaxe also teamed up with Oficina de Disseny to create a special print. Printed at L'automatica in Barcelona as part of a collective printing effort, 600 posters were produced in total, though a majority have been (and will continue to be) distributed freely at protests in Barcelona. A small quantity, however, are on sale on BC. Unfortunately, they are available to EU customers only. (Some additional copies will also be available at Paralaxe Editions' showcase at Cafe Oto in London on November 7.)

We ask you to please donate generously to the compilation.

There is no freedom until we're all free.

Shoomadisco - Live @Feedback Nis30Sept

RADIO.D59B / AIR DOG LIE #29 w/ Shoomadisco

This selection is concentrating mostly on fresh hungarian Nu Jazz, some r&b from japan and also the good old downtempo vibes. So that’s wassup!

Hanussen’s monthly show ‘slow rotation’ focuses on the slow, atmospheric and ambience. As Hanussen is a mad vinyl collector the show contains the newest records he digged in the past few weeks. Mainly downtempo, nu jazz and ambient tunes, but might some indie, hip-hop, experimental and more strange stuff occur. Hanussen was never that type of person who writes a diary, but also wanted to immortalize his feelings and emotions. Therefore he uses this platform as a sort of diary, where he records his Berlin experience (he is staying in the town until mid summer of 2024). The main inspiration for the show is the similar project Blue Sun, which is based in Budapest. Maybe some guests will appear sometimes…

Blue Sun is a conceptual musical output based in Budapest, promoting slow paced sounds.
Founded and curated by Hanussen and Kozmo D.

BUY VINYL: https://doc-sleep.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-sight-fade
Doc Sleep returns to Dark Entries with Cloud Sight Fade, an album of ethereal house and techno. Doc Sleep is the alias of DJ and producer Melissa Maristuen. Following 2023’s Birds, her ambient and IDM-leaning debut album, Cloud Sight Fade shows Doc drawing on her years of queer clubbing to bring us seven diverse tracks sitting between muscular New York house, Berlin twilight techno, and funky West-coast breakbeats. Production began in the Bay Area and was completed in Berlin; Maristuen says that this work became a love letter to the West Coast’s magnificent natural landscape, the light of the Pacific sunrise. While draped in dreamlike textures and melodies, this is also a record about embodiment and the memories that live within our corporeal forms. The powerful grooves on the breakbeat-inflected “Lemon Zest” and the propulsive “Cloud Sight Fade” remind us that dance music is for bodies dancing. Meanwhile, tracks like the sparkling album-closer “Enchanted Static” or the brooding groover “Water Sign” plunge us deeper into hypnotic depths. On Cloud Sight Fade, Doc Sleep guides us through slumber and wakefulness, in and out of our bodies, with the mastery of a seasoned DJ and clubgoer.

Doc Sleep - Cloud Sight Fade SNIPS

DETOUR, Pittsburgh mainstays behind the Hot Mass night of the same name, celebrate 10 years as a label with a double LP of the locally sourced, grassroots techno that’s been their raison d’etre since 2014. DTR-007 is a coming together of DETOUR members, long-time associates, rising local artists and members of the ever-expanding global Pittsburgh diaspora.

The result is a true reflection of the DETOUR ethos; a selection of ten expertly-curated tracks that is more than the sum of its parts; an homage to the city, its producers, DJs, dancers and the outsized influence they’ve had on the global techno underground.

DTR-007 ‘s ode to Pittsburgh electronics spans generations and genres. Booming maximalism from local originator Shawn Rudiman sits beside ace outings from already-accomplished next-gen producers Gladstone Deluxe, Davis Galvin, and Torvvo. After a spree of recent releases on Dark Entries and her own Jacktone imprint, Doc Sleep returns to the label for the first time since her 2016 debut EP with a slice of resonant deep house. Hot Mass co-founder Paul Fleetwood and perennial multidisciplinary favs, slowdanger appear on wax for the first time with levitating cuts of late-night hypnosis. Longtime modular enthusiast Nick Breinich commits a slab of true-school Midwest acid techno while DETOUR co-founders Naeem and Gusto each contribute tracks in signature styles. Naeem’s soaring electro melodics bring the compilation to an emotional peak before Gusto sends it off with an underwater broken beat chiller. The end product is an exhibition of steaming, sometimes-storming, always-deep heat calibrated precisely for your dance floor’s moodier moments.

Bandcamp: https://kulturegalerie.bandcamp.com/album/volume-three
Info: Kulture Galerie returns with its third various artists record featuring Doc Sleep, Rambal Cochet, The Jaffa Kid, Mesmerist, Jack Bags and Undsidedly.

The multi format label run by Filippo MSM (of Metropolitan Soul Museum) is back with its 7th release overall, this time on wax. This new collection continues to show Filippo’s predilection for music with non straight forward drum patterns and moody melodies.

Volume Three is a well thought mix of styles, spanning to and from two Trance oriented tracks from Rambal Cochet and The Mesmerist through the broken techno of Doc Sleep, Jack Bags’s all analogue Acid House track, The Jaffa Kid’s uncompromising Drexcian’s Electro and Undsidedly dreamy’s own take on the genre.

*PREMIERE* Doc Sleep - Deep Breath

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FRIDAY FEB 7 2025 (Bandcamp Friday / Wildfire Relief)

LA is the ESP Institute’s hometown. The label’s captain, Lovefingers, is a native Angeleno who has lived in 15 of its neighborhoods spanning decades. While the ESP Institute was born in 00’s New York City with an international cast of artists, the DNA of the label has always been infused with the wild sense of freedom and space that is LA. It breaks our hearts to see the city and its residents in such a difficult position today. Our home and label’s office were damaged, the grounds incinerated and fire/smoke damage right up and onto it’s walls, and although it is still uninhabitable, we consider ourselves unbelievably fortunate that the structure was spared, surviving among our many neighbors whose homes are reduced to ash. Both the Palisades and Eaton fires have left so many of our friends and family with nothing – we collectively mourn not only for their physical space, much of which is generational, but for mementos of family history, their sense of security and ability to function from a safe sense of “home.” The grief and tasks of recovery are uncharted and ongoing, the rebuilding is daunting, arduous and overwhelming, and everyday brings new challenges in the fires wake. This will take time. If there is any light that we see in this, it is the prevalent sense of community we are witnessing in real time.

This is the 15th year of ESP Institute and we had an idea for a compilation planned, but, given the circumstances and the immense needs of our city and fellow Angelenos, we have decided to expand this release to 3x its initial scope and commit all of its efforts and income to wildfire relief organizations. We have initially selected the following vetted non-profit charities: CalFund, MusiCares, GiveDirectly, Global Empowerment Mission, Canine Rescue Club and plan to manually top up funds from circulating GoFundMe spreadsheets for under-represented families, commencing with those in Altadena. We anticipate a bi-weekly dispersal of funds, given the urgent and evolving nature of community needs, but will re-assess this consistently as time passes.

ESP’s artists have generously allowed us to present their music for this compilation and our gratitude starts with them. It is our hope the following 90 tracks will bring you something you need, whether it be joy, catharsis, wonder or meditation.

Thank you for your support from the bottom our hearts,
Andrew / Lovefingers & ESP Institute
