Medusozoa Vol II

California Bum Out - Tartelet Records - Medusozoa Vol II Compilation

The Twirl family continues to successfully expand well into its second year as a sought after imprint. The first year of releases from label runners Shaun J. Wright & Alinka featured remixes from the likes of Kim Ann Foxman, JD Samson, Snuff Crew and Lil’ Mark, with support from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac and Heidi, alongside notable artists Kenny Glasgow, Groove Armada and Robert Owens. The second year of releases has included the critically lauded “ILL City Exit” EP from Spatial Awareness and the stellar “Don’t Fight It” from Stereogamous featuring Shaun J. Wright. Next up is a stunning EP from Berlin based DJ, producer and Mint co-founder Ena Lind.
The release opens with the original mix of the title track “The WisdomTo Know The Difference”, a sweeping house groove with funky tribal rhythms, luscious yet sharp strings, and punchy rave stabs. Lind’s expertise as a dancefloor maestro truly shines through in this epic, peak- hour floor filler.
DJ and production veteran Anna Leopolder turns the original inside-out with her dark, brooding remix. Filled with tense pads and a chunkier bassline, Leopolder’s remix skillfully maintains the original’s vibrant urgency while winding the listener deeper into the depths of the night.
Next up is “Sadie”, a warm, classic house number with haunting synths, a bubbling bassline and emotive, Latin flavored percusision. This sinewy track winds slyly around the dancefloor before enveloping dancers in its rapturous peaks.
Jacktone Records co-runner Doc Sleep develops upon the original’s haunting elements by reimagining the tune into a stomping, sinister techno banger. Her aggressive and funky workout cleverly slithers and builds, superbly rounding out this incredible package.

Doc Sleep - Cooper's Trilogy

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/vinyl/bezier-primes-ep/

Dark Entries is proud to release the latest offering from Bézier, a 3-track EP titled ‘Primes’. Bézier is the moniker of San Francisco based musician Robert Yang, who is also part of the Honey Soundsystem crew.  A multi-instrumentalist, Robert planted his roots in San Francisco in 2005.  Over the years in SF he has built an impressive analog synth-based studio, which also serves as the creative hub for his riveting live performances.

‘Primes’ represents the theme of primordial origins and creation with three tracks that explore disparate, sonic environments in each song. The title track flows and ebbs like currents in an oil slick. Out of something messy (like primordial ooze) arises organized chaos. “Stranger” is a moody dark electro/wave track for a sweaty night cruising on the west coast of Holland. Set against an underwater sound canvas  the song features seductive guest vocals and lyrics by Nicole Ginelli. Doc Sleep of Jacktone Records provides additional production duties. The final track, “Imperial Tranz Am”, is an airy, ethereal slow burner clocking in at over 13 minutes. It originally appeared as the soundtrack to an experimental queer fantasy film of the same name by SF film maker Aron Kantor.

All songs have been mixed by Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto, Consolidated) at Room 5, San Francisco and EQed for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The vinyl comes housed in a jacket featuring a Quadtone pastel earthtone of pixelated celluar ooze designed by Eloise Leigh. Each EP includes a postcard with an image still from the 'Imperial Tranz-Am’ movie.  “Do I hear what I see, is it real or just a feeling, a vibration of N-R-G.”

"Doc Sleep on Future Times (@future-times)! 'Mirror Lake' is way way deep, with layer after layer of rolling pianos and woven cymbals that come up from the bottom. Recalling everything from the more sci-fi Gigi Masin visions to Arovane, the Jacktone co-boss keeps us horizontal and wired in. A beautiful slice of music. Grip!"

With Kontrapunkt 05 we bring you a record packed with songs for every
different occasion. It opens with the majestic and overwhelming
Propagate by Humanoid, continues with All True's dirty, harsh and
rough Suspended Sisterhood and closes the A-side with Doc Sleep's
straightforward, without- compromises MJF. The B-side comes in a more
gentle yet spacey approach. It starts its journey to the universe with
Deeper Call by Hedon The Cat followed by a trip back to earth for
Carmel & Nikita's summery Nebenan and lifting you back to space with
the atmospheric Last Interstellar Transmission by Adel Akram. For this
premiere we go for Doc Sleep’s MJF!

A set of 3 remixes from me and Glenn Astro for Motoko & Myers on Future Times. 

From FT Bandcamp:
https://futuretimes.bandcamp.com/album/big-day-plover-whimbrel-remixes

All proceeds from this compilation will be divided between a host of aid groups via ActBlue, selected by the artists: secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn

Motoko & Myers are back on FT with a surprise remix album, stretching their Plover b/w Whimbrel 7” (FT052) into 14 tracks by handing over the binoculars to a host of remixers.

“Plover” in particular is taken to techno heights only hinted at in the original by many of the producers, its beautiful melody acting like pure dance information, moldable into shape. Perko, Unknown Mobile and Davis Galvin get super busy with it for all the deejays, Doc Sleep & Glenn Astro (collaborating together) encase the collection in a 3-song suite of a remix, Ali Berger houses it down, Category goes off the dub deep end, and Flora FM goes full Dave Angel ravelife in amazing fashion.

The drowsier “Whimbrel” gets shlazed, low-slung mixes from TMC and Jack Murphy as well as breaksplorations from Gag Reflex and DJML. Bass Clef combines both songs for a complete trip.

A major pack, and survey of some of our music’s finest new producers too. Tip!
