The music on this full-length record by The Idealist, released on Höga Nord Rekords could work as a soundtrack for a Voodoo-horror-movie. It’s creepy acid-driven sound, often with a 303 as the centrepiece of the rhythm, is the kind that you’d expected to being chased in a maze of trees to.
Something threatening lies in The Idealists second release on the label. His Leftfield/techno is both a dark cold electronic adventure with metallic percussions, both a distorted image of a vengeful nature; a forest working as a single entity to find and feed on human souls.
Just like contemporary acts like Ramadanman and Appleblim, The Idealist contributes and develops a sophisticated yet primal branch of modern, uncompromising electronic music.

Prima Musica with Pengi

Long time before Mario Moretti I made some house music under the moniker of Wasted Gaze. Here's a little outtake from the tape I recently found under my bed.

For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

CCCVVV is the Brussels based duo of Clara Vellin and soFa elsewhere. The first Covid-lockdown drew these two old friends closer and both a love-story and burst of musical creativity followed.

A wide-eyed electronic record wearing its heart on an innersleeve, Curriculum Vitae chases after no real genre, preferring a very personal colour and style of its own. Music and passion entwined, it has resulted in this collection of intimate avant-pop-oddities. The album collects whispers of 60’s chanson and psyched out chords, holding a playful spirit throughout.

Through the genre-no-genre approach, Curriculum Vitae distills down to a vital essence, constantly flirting with smartly infused elements from the past/present for the head, heart and feet.

Highlights include a dreamy version of Nancy & Lee’s ‘Some Velvet Morning’ alongside the acidic slow-mo hypnotics of ‘Ritmo Denso’. ‘Generationen’ floats on a pillow of sonic bliss, while ‘Alla Porta Subito’s vocal and instrument interplay slinks closer to outer-planetary italo-reggae.

C.V.’s production wanders along a retro-futuristic approach throughout, its punkish attitude dancing between an embrace of the modern and a more naive pop-arrangement approach. Along this 37 minute journey the sweet and dark sides of a lifetime are witnessed, light organic harp marries refreshingly to carefully chosen synthesizers. Whimsical lyrics meet with melancholic composition.

Clara Vellin is a classical harp player active in a variety of eclectic musical projects.soFa, known for his highly acclaimed series of the eclectic "elsewhere" compilations, & productions such as Mameen 3, Nyati Mayi and collab with legendary Turkish drummer Okay Temiz & Houschyar on Music From Memory/Second Circle.

In Cerchio

PREMIERE: CCCVVV - In Cerchio [Strangelove]

Penki iš penkių. Paskutinis #NaujasKailis šiais yra Indré. Įgūdžius jai nušlifuoti padėjo karantinas, o skonį formavo UK scena ir pora Londone praleistų metų. Tai tikrai jaučiasi mums atsiųstame mikse, kuriame pilna šviežiausių madų iš ūkanotos salos. Deja, dėl sudėtingos logistikos į prirašymą Indré nespės, bet vis tiek ją traukiame į bendrą programą. Nes to nusipelnė, būtinai ją išgirsim artimiausiu metu.

Last but not least. @indrep is our fifth New Blood of 2021. Unfortunately, she won’t make it to her inauguration night on Saturday due to logistics challenges but we’ll definitely catch up with her later.

Following on from his “Georgia Keep Me Vital” track which featured on our Bonnie Tropical 6 compilation in February, we welcome Ravelston back into our wee party palace for a full EP release. 

Ravelston recently relocated to Edinburgh after twelve years on the Bristol scene. He hosts Dot Joining and Freaks & Beats on Edinburgh’s EHFM and Bristol’s 1020 Radio respectively. He also co-runs Moving Heads Festival and The Washing Machine Soundsystem. 

As a DJ and producer he digs from broadly eclectic tastes with a deep fondness for leftfield, cosmic, and psychedelic sounds. He's often found idling in the lower tempos, but with a keen determination to start a dance. A heady blend of chuggers and freaky bits - plus house music.

For this EP he's provided us with four low tempo cosmic bangers and two spooky interludes. These instrumental electronic tracks capture various vibes, vices and pastimes that Ravelston enjoyed whilst living down south Ravelston’s Bristol Pleasures EP was produced between his former home of Bristol, and his new one in Edinburgh, and we very much hope you enjoy it as much as we do. 



Track List: 
1. Open Shrub
2. The Druid's Chop
3. Iron Boots
4. Middle Sickness
5. Serpent Boogie
6. Dogsuit Fantasy

PREMIERE: Ravelston - The Druid’s Chop [Paradise Palms Records]

A 12” filled to the brim with talent, Schrödinger’s Box have collected three juggernauts of wave tainted electronics for the latest. Dmitry Distant teams up with Norwell for a partnership of serious intent. The pair deliver a trio of blackened tracks, opening with the ghoulish caverns of “Transient State” before the long shadows, acid stains and painful echoes of “Visionary.” The duo venture into brighter territory with the computer funk of “On A Verge of Veil”, crisp beats and bubbling melodies changing the tone. Following Beyond the War, Cute Heels returns to occupy the flip. The Colombian is immediately on it with the swirling mirrors of “Kuriyaki Horizons,” a kick drum offering solid footing in this entrancing piece. An aloof, yet alluring, disco hook takes hold for “Litua”, a low thump keeping time. The finale arrives with the clipped industrial gait of “Determinated In Order.” Marching to a military beat, this work is industrial inspired with Cute Heels keeping a close ear to the pressure release gauge.

PREMIERE : Cute Heels - Kuriyaki Horizons

FLYING SAUCERS (FIRST TAKE)

Like a predator stalking its prey, she surveyed the room with her piercing blue eyes, looking for a potential suitor to hold her attentions for the evening. Her reputation preceded her but her beauty was so much so that it blinded them all to the hair raising tales told about her. How could one so graceful, one so poised and elegant be capable of such things? As far as they were concerned, if she wanted them, she was welcome to them.

Four years after the release of their acclaimed debut LP 'An Animal Orchestra' for Inside Out Records, producers Stavros Potamitis & Constantinos Parisinos AKA After Altamont call on the skills of several talented artists to reimagine the tracks from the release. Featuring on all star cast including MR TC, Gina Breeze, Zombies In Miami, A Strange Wedding, Anatolian Weapons and our pick from Salon des Amateur affiliate Tolouse Low Trax, the remix package takes the psych rock, Greek folk and soulful dub sonics of the original and twists them into slow, hypnotic, trance-inducing grooves.

PREMIERE: After Altamont - Three Men Down ft. Shawni (Tolouse Low Trax Man Down Remix) [Inside Out]
