Eclectics release 'Let It Pass' by Statues

Essex-based trio Statues return to Eclectics with another four-track EP. There’s no change to the MO – two exceptional OGs rock up to the party, each with a +1 in the form of a killer remix.

Rotunda is all swagger and shoulders. A mid-paced beast that swaps sharp edges for a slow roll, that rocks… but gently. The synthetic bass dives deep, providing balance and ballast while the upper register takes advantage of this free reign. Zither glissandos ebb and flow while guitar lines drift in and out, marshalled into time by a neck-snapping shuffle with a sense of slow, unhurried purpose.

Showing a similar, singular focus, is Gold Suite, AKA Bali’s Joey Fitzgerald. Opening the original up wide enough to drop in a piano, acoustic guitar and lead line licks, he builds a remix that is in equal parts balearic groover and 3am mover. The result is a certified banger that will see arms raised quicker than any armed bank heist.

Lessons, by contrast, sees Statues in repose. A simple cymbal pattern leads the way as organ, strings and bass join in, laying the ground for the mournful vocal refrain “The past is a lesson”. What follows is a blissful slice of horizontal balearica pitched perfectly for these times. With the world opening its arms to us once again, this is the soundtrack for us all to sway into its embrace.

Coyote take the remix reins, their deep dub adding lift to the kick and bounce to the bass. They pare back and stretch out, filling the space with found fragments and soft sonic furnishings. The result is a very different destination, but one that still wraps itself around you like a welcome hug from an old friend. Expansive synths and tightly echoed effects ride the wave of a way-out sound without losing sight of the original.

It’s a lesson to us all.

Digital release is July 28th, vinyl will be sometime later in the year

From the frozen and windswept northlands of Minnesota, to the brutal summer heat of central Texas, Zack Highwire (aka Triptíque Musique), drew inspiration for music by connecting the spirit of the universe to man and machine for just shy of two decades. His infectious rhythms, pulsating bass, and psychedelic cosmic vibes take the listener on a mind-altering journey through the mind, body, and soul. Zack passed away on October 22, 2020, but he left us with tracks like Marrakesh to celebrate his life. May he rest in peace riding the universe's vibrations he so often connected to.

On the B side Italian duo Mushrooms Project offer up an acoustic into electronic psychedelic acid masterpiece featuring guitar from Leo Almunia and bass player Ivan King.

All proceeds will go to the Zack Krzmarzick Scholarship Fund used to establish music scholarships for high school students entering college from his hometown of New Ulm, Minnesota.

Premiere : Triptique Musique - Marakesh(Mushrooms Project Remix)

Sun Scope, wow what a beautiful piece of music, I'm getting goose bumps listening right now. Deep Melodica man, it flows and grows without getting all complex. This being released right at the tail of 2017 is a game changer in my favorite track of the year. What comes out of Timm Sures and Richard Hampson Camp only can only be described as remarkable. These guys completely work for the love of music. "And to possibly pay for a trip to the White Isle once a year". as Timm put it to me once. Is It Balearic....? ain't just Balearic they're almost punk in their attitude, in the sense there's no big promotional campaign beforehand. The records they put out sell themselves.  Well now here is the link to have a listen to the 5th track on the A side of Sun Scope the ep, Sun Scope.

Sun Scope is a soundtrack to a dreamlike journey through nature. The A side represents morning until dusk. The B side, midnight until dawn. Maricopa drops a beautifully evocative album of mellow electronica on IIB.

Earl Orlog @earlorlog         |     https://linktr.ee/EarlOrlog 

The passionate digger, DJ, producer and founder of Radio Orlog remains some kind of a phantom. His tracks, edits and mixes are the only genuine insight into the winding alleys of his musical multiverse: 
Brutalistic low-fi loop bangers, parading a sophisticated touch of incompetence, haphazardly garnished with stolen drones and a hint of patchouli. 

Music for a magical dancefloor on a nocturnal clearing full of luminescent neon golden mushrooms, wistful forest fairies, kissing lovers and unicycling halva sellers in pink uniforms. 

Brain melting gallimaufry, creepy bedlam, bold schemozzle, ferocious farrago, otherwordly topsyturvydom, a mysterious kerfuffle and cunning musical hotchpotchism, crafted especially to fit the needs of particular excentric voguers and tribal dancers, aficionados of slow-motion twitching, heartbroken beachcombers and all those who now and again feel the urge to cut the rug in public transport.

eclectics mix - 151 | Earl Orlog |

As the world and its wife tries to board the last plane out of 2020, Eclectics rolls up with a charter flight big enough to ferry all-comers to Shangri-La. The Oh! EP, from Ibiza-based Italian producer Luca Averna and legendary British veteran Chris Coco, is 35 minutes of delightful, deep-dive distraction from a world gone mad.

This isn’t simply a collection of tunes sitting cheek-by-jowl with their remixes, this is a soaring suite – a movement in five parts put together with care, confidence and consummate craft.

First up on the in-flight entertainment is “There Is No Planet B”. Despite the distress-signal sentiment of the title, it’s an audio hug of breathy synths, languorous lead lines and slow, whirling propeller percussion. A mid-paced reminder that we really are all in this together, the melodic flow coalesces midway through, giving directions to the dance.

The Veteran Delinquents (Joe’s Bakery and Passport to Paradise stalwart Craig Christon along with producer Tim Hutton) pick up the baton and increase the momentum like veteran DJs reading the room. Their remix follows on seamlessly from the original, bigging up the boogie with handclaps, piano and a beat that channels electro and new wave New York.

Next up is Jazxing (The Very Polish Cut-Outs/ Transatlantyk), who find another gear and chug straight ahead – full steam in widescreen. Increasing the bandwidth even further they throw in guitar licks and percussive punctuation, forcing the familiar melody into bold new territory.

And suddenly, there you are, in the middle of a four-to-the-floor groove for discerning dancers after a journey so smooth you couldn’t even feel the corners.

As the bass peters out, title track “Oh!” blossoms into view, building slowly, layers lapping over each other, gentle yet steady, fragile but with a firm foothold. The pace has quickened, but the pin-perfect pacing means you don’t realise until you’re halfway in and committed to the ride. Oh! indeed…

Then, the final act. Once again, Eclectics frequent flier James Bright tales the controls and banks away beautifully from the original, leading you into territory littered with broken beats, rippling synths and an afro-infused groove. This is all played out against a gentle backdrop, a watercolour wash of sound that smooths the flightpath, tempers the turbulence and joins the dots between guitar flourishes and snare snaps.   You have reached your destination. Enjoy.
