PREMIERE - Don Kashew - Pelouse (Dee Dee's Picks)

As she crossed the room all eyes fell on her; she revelled in it, there was nothing she adored more than other's unrequited attention. Taking her seat at the bar, she surveyed the room slowly, dressing down any worthy suitors with piercing eyes and a wry smile. Confidence exuded from her very pores, it would take a certain type of person to not feel intimidated by it, let alone match it. But she was willing to wait, she'd learnt to be patient, they'd come along soon enough...

After sharing a handful of retrospective releases and dusty gems, Amsterdam-based label Dee Dee's Picks set their sights on mining contemporary sounds for their sixth release. Continuing their mission to highlight the fertile DIY electronic music scene in Switzerland, they now welcome Zurich-based artist Don Kashew for a collection of tracks conceived between 2017 and 2021. The music paints a picture of where his sound began and where it is now - new wave, experimental, minimal synth and dystopian sounds mingle, minded together by a reflective, melancholy glue.

PREMIERE: Don Kashew - Chique [Dee Dee's Picks]

Zurich based DJ and producer Don Kashew delivers a dark dystopian journey that begins with the search for his sound from 2017 to 2021. Reflective and danceable, dark and united with melancholy an adequate follow up from his previous release on Subject To Restrictions Discs. This release is limited to 50 copies.

ARTIST BIO
Don Kashew, supplier of your favourite natural antidepressant, eternal fanboy and wannabe troubadour. He’s part of the driving local vinyl community and regularly plays records somewhere in Zurich. Resident at Kern, if you catch him behind the decks, don’t mind asking him what track he’s playing. 10 out of 10 it’s a gem.

RELEASE BIO

Between the Zuri brannt riots and the Needle Park catastrophe, two events that occurred in the eighties in Zurich and that have been underlined in the previous two Dee Dee’s Picks releases, have unfortunately backlashed in today’s world yet have also been sublimated by others in various cultural endeavours.

On a different note: “The edible seed of the cashew fruit is native to tropical climates that is rich in tryptophan, a neurochemical that our bodies turn into serotonin.”

These two subject matters, seemingly unrelated, have been channelled into one person — coinciding to make room for relief from a transformed dystopian-like era that has not without effort risen from its depth. Found from this dark period is a modern-day character that brings to the surface these once very present issues. The music and topical form that occur simultaneously within this release have been created by Don Kashew, a self-described troubadour who acts a natural supplier of your favourite natural antidepressant as well as an eternal fanboy to music from the past, present and future.

An enthusiastic participant to the Swiss underground scene, Don Kashew can be found either helping the Zurcher community or playing obscure and classic records at a regular pace in the Zurich nightlife. The added anecdotal form that this release takes shape is the fact that Don is a city council whose department is to aid in the organisation of the clean up from the consequences of the aforementioned sociological issues. Don Kashew refutes these questions with sounds that evoke feelings of longing for another world, warm and moist, of another place, captured in a modern time. By commenting on the track titles as presented within this edition, Don Kashew’s music also refers to the irony of capitalistic studies and of the monotonous dullness that life presents. With these two aspects, merged together in a swirl,  the music within this release is at the time whimsical and ironic, mature yet underlined with childlike humour. This compilation of past and contemporary works is a reflection of Don’s sound development, affected through time and change, environment and empathy, diligence and insouciance, carefully packaged and influenced by his creative procedure.

LAF Podcast #037 | Don Kashew

After his debut EP, Don Kashew delivers his first album on Subject To Restrictions Discs, a conceptual work in which he discovers "Reibung" as a core concept of musical expression.

A loudspeaker causes the molecules of the air to vibrate. Friction occurs and the sound spreads out in the room. Physically, friction is at the beginning of every sound. At the same time, the metaphor of friction describes the core of musical creation. As such, creation is always defined by its reference as well as its demarcation from existing artistic and social positions. In a sense, music is always rubbing against itself, its past and its environment, constantly being honed into new forms.

With "Reibung", Don Kashew explores friction as a basic principle of musical expression. Inspired by the avant-rock and experimental music scene of the 80s around the Zurich record label "RecRec Music", techniques are used whose core is the friction of sounds: dissonances, phasing or the preparation of instruments. These techniques are complemented by sampling and recombination of musical forms, existing music and cultural audio products. The idea of "Reibung" is thus at the heart of the production of musical expression.
