Lion's Drums ne s'interdit rien et c'est pour ça qu'on l'aime !

Lion's Drums - Octobre 2022

Out now on Constellation Tatsu: https://ctatsu.bandcamp.com/merch

Hoshina Anniversary is from Hachioji, westside of Tokyo. His new LP of fluid, experimental dance music draws upon his influences of jazz fusion, electronica, and Japanese heritage. HakkyouShisou translates to “going crazy”, which captures the intensity and movement of a rhythmic / club atmosphere. Crisp, minimalist beats and melodies build at an urgent velocity, while a smoky piano plinks out chords.

Invisible Inc is over the moon to finally be announcing this long-awaited double album of new music by Secret Circuit.

Presented here are 21 new pieces (or 22 if you count the bandcamp-exclusive digital bonus) recorded between 2020 and 2022 which capture that spacey, otherworldly quality Secret Circuit is known for but they also very much veer into the warmer, earthier and generally more ambient textural territories of his E Ruscha V and Only Thingz work...an altogether softer sensibility. The fact that the second disc of the double album is primarily ambient further confuses the issue! But Secret Circuit this most definitely is!

From a plethora of demos (60+) Invisible Inc label boss GK Machine wanted to distill these down and explore a side of Ruscha's that he felt hadn't been heard before, focussing on Ruscha's more emotive yet at the same time experimental side. Is that a paradox? Well, let's say only very rarely do we hear modular synths doing something so human-sounding, and when these are juxtaposed alongside slide guitars, live bass and vocodered vocals, we have something very special indeed.

Then there's the artwork...all lovingly drawn by E Ruscha V himself and landing on our desk long after the record had gone into production and test pressings delivered and approved. The package is made complete with a double-sided colour insert with liner notes and another of Ruscha's mind-warping doodles. Oh and the liner notes are written in reverse so you'll need a mirror to read them. Of course they are!

To cut a long story short, everything about this release is archetypal classic Secret Circuit and couldn't be anyone else. A highpoint for the label in 2023, no doubt.

And we hope you love it as much as we do.

Tunnel Vision

PREMIERE: Secret Circuit - Tunnel Vision [Invisible, Inc]

Hell Yeah is back in full force with more tasteful selections this time from My Friend Dario and his ‘Food For Woofers Vol 1 EP’.  My Friend Dario is known for serving up a myriad of beats that from far flung tropical landscapes, with guitars that break on the sand like foaming white waves and majestic synths that shine like the sun.  It’s the freestyle project by Catania's Dario Aiello, whose rarefied sounds are designed for chillin’ and heating up modern dance floors. Placed on the Balearic map by labels like Hell Yeah and NuNorthern Soul, this intriguing artist is showing what he is about more and more with every new release. On this new EP, My Friend Dario continues to expand his wondrous musical world with a collection of characterful cuts that shows his broad stylistic range. 
 
'Sambatismo' kicks off with nu Balearic breaks that bristle with energy and are peppered with steamy jungle drums. The opening cut provides six minutes of dancefloor bliss, dropping around the four-minute mark with a spine-tingling breakdown, some sensational piano chords, and sultry sax that drives it home. The off-kilter chords on the cinematic 'Nature In A Different Planet' takes you to a tropical new world far off in the cosmos, where deep synths, mystic pads and rave whistles all bring a whole new sonic experience. 'Easy Sunday' is loose and elastic mid-tempo house with star-gazing synth craft and pixelated leads that leave you in awe.  Closing cut 'Carmico' is a killer chugger with some sleazy guitar riffs and heavy drum loops taking you on a deeper and more cerebral trip.
