Morals (Bjørn Torske's Disco Mix)

PRE ORDER: https://safe-trip.org/products/max-abysmal-sutekhs-mirage-donna-dont-stop-single

WHILE ATTEMPTING – AND FAILING – TO APPREHEND THE SHADOWY FIGURE KNOWN AS “MAX ABYSMAL” DURING A FRENZIED CHASE THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND AMSTERDAM ARTS ESTABLISHMENT “HET SKATECAFÉ”, WE RECOVERED A BOXED REEL OF QUARTER-INCH TAPE. INTELLIGENT ASSETS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS CONTAINS MUSICAL RECORDINGS OF THE TYPE USED TO PASS ON CODED MESSAGES TO THE SAFE TRIP ORGANISATION.

THE FIRST RECORDING WE HAVE TITLED “DONNA, DON’T STOP”. WE INCLUDE IT WITH THIS MESSAGE SO YOU CAN PERFORM YOUR OWN ANAYLSIS. NOTE THE USE OF A RISING AND FALLING ELECTRONIC MOTIF CAPABLE OF INDUCING A TRANCE-LIKE STATE IN THOSE UNTRAINED IN LISTENING TO ELECTRONIC MUSIC THIS POTENT AND EMOTIVE.

“SUTEKH’S MIRAGE”, THE SECOND CODED COMPOSITION, IS BOLDER AND WARMER IN TONE, MAKING USE OF DAZZLINGLY COLOURFUL MELODIC PATTERNS AND PASSAGES OF PERCUSSION THAT REFERENCE POLYRHYTHMS. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE SURFACE BEAUTY OF THIS RECORDING: IT IS CAPABLE OF INDUCING HALLUCINATIONS AND IRREGULAR HEARTBEATS, AND THEREFORE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN THE WRONG HANDS.

Die Wilde Jagd - Drachenfels (Live At Solarium Berlin, 2018)

Towering Brazil nut trees shrouded the dusty dirt track, only slivers of blue sky could be soon through the leaves overhead. The air was humid and thick beads of moisture clung to the green plants that bordered the path. In the distance the sound of drums could be heard, while a chorus of insects and birds buzzed and chirped in chaotic harmony, each vying for attention. The drum beat grew louder and louder as the dirt track opened up into an expansive clearing. A huddle of men slapped thick wooden drums with almighty force, sending messages out into the atmosphere and creating a soundtrack to the rainforest they call home. 

After an almighty string of releases it's been a hot minute since Swiss duo In Flagranti released their 30-track album Sprezzatura on their own Codek label. Now they return with Super Success, a four-track EP taking in all manner of influences from slow dance to heavy percussion and jacking house.

PREMIERE: In Flagranti - Expensive Wardrobe [Codek Records]

For Breathing Room’s sophomore release, the Toronto based label look to Swiss multi-instrumentalist Bixi to supply the goods. The German producer exudes warm and tropical vibes across the five track vinyl release entitled ‘Aquarius’. Rich in deft live instrumentation and clever sample work, an organic feel flutters through each track with bubbling water, forest-inspired atmosphere, ethnic percussion and gentle handclaps the order of the day. Once again the release is presented with beautiful artwork by 3D and visual artist Maks Pihs. Definitely a label to keep an eye on.
