"Changing truths begin to spiral, 
becoming the staircase 
of our infinite embrace. 
When I let myself melt back 
into these golden waves, I shall see 
where the tower begins and ends. Nowhere and everywhere, yet 
it stands still and firmly, as its core is 
only guarded, not touched by 
imploding membranes of wounded love." PYUR

We are proud to introduce an exciting young artist, PYUR, along with her singular debut LP Epoch Sinus. Despite her relative newness, PYUR meets the world with fully formed and unique signatures in both visual and sonic work, revealing a deep artistry that transcends medium.

Growing up in Munich, in and amongst the same fecund scene that spawned artists like the Zenker Brothers and Skee Mask, PYUR cut her teeth from a young age as a guitarist and singer before becoming spellbound by the electronic world’s endless scope for sound design. Endowed with innately strong synaesthesia and reared in a shamanic household, she tells how music “played the biggest role in my growth. It alone had the purpose to help me dissolve boundaries, discover the beauty of life’s mechanisms, create freely. It talked. Soon I felt like the music was making me, not the other way round.”

Epoch Sinus is a seamless and heartfelt whole, a life-like being unto itself, describing the disintegration of barriers between the self and the all. Here PYUR offers an intimate and personal statement, combining knowledge of universal harmony with electronic music. She states: “I'm mainly influenced by my inner visions and nature itself, yet also a lot from club culture, which is undoubtedly an important space of connection and freedom for so many people”. The record dances playfully between supposedly incompatible qualities: moments of brutality turn to softness, new life embraces decomposition, while explosive rhythmic and melodic structures are tempered with gentle and subtle percussion.

The album is accompanied by a video piece for each track, translating the sonic messages into a visual body. Her goal was to show as accurately as possible what she felt during the making process of Epoch Sinus, to put the music into context and make it more accessible for the public. Light, water, reflections and colors of nature all feature strongly in these distinctive visions.

“Music showed me that, in the sweet spot between nothingness and existence, one is empowered to fully understand energetic connections and able to initiate extraordinary transformations through all grids and layers of self. Especially now at this time music has the enormous potential and responsibility to become a transformative entity, providing truthfulness and support.”

PYUR - Epoch Sinus I

True Color Records is back in 2017 and to start the year properly it introduces the first volume of “The Sound Of True Color”, a series of compilations aimed to gather collaborations of artists within the label itself.   

Introduced by 7th Sense, this first issue includes collabs with Chawer and Mow Kalma, and two remixes of “Be True”, original track of 7th Sense and Blackout Ja, now remixed by both PrimeBassound and Abstract People. 

Oscillating between Halftime and Footwork, this EP presents four pieces that show the diversity of the True Color’s sound. “Miklo’s Dub” is the first track, produced in complicity with Mexican producer settled in Barcelona, Chawer. A minimal cut piece in which the 808 kicks creatively makes the groove on the bassline.

Second track is another collab, this time with Colombian producer Mow Kalma. “Medellín Sunset” combines Footwork and Soul to create the perfect sonorous landscape to take you back to the streets of Medellín. 

And last but not least, we have two new versions of “Be True”, where the only common elements on both tracks, are the  characteristic vocals of Blackout Ja and it’s potential for the dancefloor, other than that, a very unique approach on two new versions of it. 

In general, a release that shows the true colours of the producers involved and True Color’s true sound.

PAN DAIJING - Lack 惊蛰 (PAN 79)
Format: LP / Digital Label: PAN Cat.No: PAN 79 Release Date: 28 July 2017

Pan Daijing announces her debut album, ‘Lack 惊蛰’, on PAN this July.

Culminating as the purgative ‘finale’ to her improvisational live performances, Pan Daijing’s debut album also offers an insight to her future works. The process was intuitive and raw, born out of her previous explorations. Over the past 2 years, she has composed, recorded and edited different concerts and field recordings across Europe, China, and Canada, forming the basis of the record. Arriving as her first full-length album, ‘Lack 惊蛰’ was crafted from this long, painstaking mental and physical practice.

Daijing’s pieces are created around a very intense and intimate mental catharsis, often expressed through a close physical interaction with strangers in her live sets which seek to engage them in a highly personal way. “When I was finalising this album, they didn’t feel like tracks to me anymore, but more like a psychoanalytical process,” she says. “I saw myself being this absurd, mad person ‘acting’ out the sounds… It’s rather physical, and became like a mindgame. All things came out naturally as part of me.”

The narrative of the album presents a perspective of the world as ‘the theatre of our minds’ - where Daijing sees the record as an ‘opera piece’ in its storytelling and drama.

The release is mastered by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Ralf Marsault, and artwork by Bill Kouligas.
