Electro Gold /// Solid Odds n Ends

PREMIERE / 2021 March

Culminating at 430m of altitude, mount Aïdour has been looking over the city of Oran for centuries.
Legendary tales and myths are born in this place that have been inspiring writers through generations.
It is there that the seeds and the roots of this record were planted, inspiring me to tell a story as well.
4 tracks about 4 destinations through a country of splendor. From North to South, East to West, from one century to another.
Based on local field recordings associated with modern machines, this is the continuation of the legends started generations ago. »
Bab is a member of French collectives 404 and Pardonnez Nous. He's currently making a documentary about Algerian Raï music which led him to visit the country multiple times recently and inspired him to do this dark and haunted EP, reminiscing of Muslimgauze.

PREMIERE⚡️Bab - Erigeron [Crowdspacer]

Pho Beat Bazar embodies the classical atmosphere you breathe in an Asian Market, a jumbled stand where who is patient enough to root around can find the oddiest goods. It's a shared virtual place where different artists come close together through the power of music.

PREMIERE⚡️Khalil Suleman - Inside The Manycave [PHO BHO]

The villa was packed with luxury items and elegant attire. Fancy aristocrats and glamorous divas walked proudly between rooms in a celebration of "decadance" and profitability. The view from the sprawling estate was spectacular, it looked down upon the bay below as the waves roared against the cliff face. Up on the hillside a party was underway, dancing was encouraged but not compulsory. The music echoed through the glow of the evening air. 

NEP's "Decadence" is being reissued by Fox and His Friends. Originally recorded in 1989 the track is a sought after slow moving cut which works bizarrely well on the dancefloor.

BLTRS06: Smagghe & Cross - MMMMMMM EP 
feat. Matthew Herbert + remixes by Samo DJ & Pedrodollar, Jackie House's Generator w/ Kevin Clarke & Marke B and Pilooski

Much like James Holden and Optimo, Ivan Smagghe is one of the most influential figures behind the founding and continuation of H+P over the past decade.

As such, it is tremendously exciting to release something by his new Smagghe & Cross project. In collaboration with the film composer and programmer, Rupert Cross - who counts big Hollywood blockbusters and Kanye West on his impressive resume - Smagghe & Cross has recently been picking up acclaim through superb releases on Vladimir's Offen Music, Ransom Note and their remix of The Junto Club has been a staple round these parts. Not only that, but the record also features none other than the bold Matthew Herbert (!!!) doing his best Robert Wyatt impression.
Additionally, as a very big fan of the compelling Honey Soundsystem 'Generator' series, I'm really chuffed to have commissioned a special remix featuring Jackie House with Kevin Clarke performing words by DJ Marke B. Swedish Superstars, Samo DJ & Pedrodollar also turn in a trippy groover AND as the icing on the cake; have enlisted the services of the DJ who played the first ever H+P party back in 2007, Pilooski- completing another circle during the 10th anniversary year..

Released 25/8/17

Gever Amiti Ft Gabriel Broid (MR TC Remix)

Label Missing Letters is proudly releasing a remix EP with FRANGIE following up their  debut, which was released earlier this year. Now they’ve invited a variation of befriended DJ’s and producers to repaint the tracks with their special love for the dance floor.   FRANGIE initiates the remix EP with their own introspective lo-fi deconstruction of Love, Your Friend. In Samo DJ and J. Skugge’s version of the same track, an infectious bassline meets ambient pads to create a spaced out dub experience. An experience that resonates with Bella Boo’s mystical rework of jazzy DDML, where trippy chords and melodies transcends into a different dimension. Bella most recently contributed with the track boyboy to compilation album Studio Barnhus Volym 1. Underground DJ-duo HK have gradually been building a reputation for their live hardware jams at clubs and raves around Stockholm. Discover their dusty, groovy sounds in their remix of Don’t text me. DJ and producer Kimchii brings you to an afternoon backyard party with his funky guitar licks and groovy bassline. It’s the perfect remix for summer reminiscing, just in time for the first leaves to fall...

Vernacular Records is proud to announce the launch of a new series called “Vernacular Fields”. In this series, we worked with an Armenian photographer, Sarkis Torossian, who did the visual. His work is not only about developing analogue photos of landscapes, there is whole transforming process of the image afterwards.

After developing, he digitalises the picture and modifies it to realise, by hand, monochromic prints on a drawing paper. 
The outcome is a unique visual on every print, worthy of a numerical paint. “Vernacular Fields” is about the work of a physical object on small series. The EP with a visual by Sarkis in a 10” format, a USB stick with the release and a digital file of the artwork, all inserted in a 10” vinyl cover. This will be limited to 20 editions, the EP will also be available in digital format.

In terms of music, the format is a 4 titles EP including a featuring with another Vernacular Records resident. This first series is opened by our resident Ashyl called “Polar Lights”. 4 tracks of “Epic Breakbeat”, thought as a journey around his universe, it includes a feat. With our resident Clery.

PREMIERE : Ashyl - 911 Call

The lighthouse stood proudly in the middle of the desert, its bright beacon scanning the dunes like an all-seeing eye. As the warning lights reflected across the sand, each grain sparkled under its beam before melting away to reveal huge chasms of water. Was this a mirage or just a figment of their imagination?

Following the textural electronica of Da Iguana in December, Russian collective, event series and label Serenades are stepping into 2021 with their first split EP, which brings together Malka Tuti alumni LINJA and Beats In Space producer Anatolian Weapons. Complimenting each other beautifully, the two sides bring a mix of rumbling basslines, frantic percussion and deep, low slung rhythms to send you into a dizzying trance.

Anatolian Weapons / LINJA - Split EP

PREMIERE: Anatolian Weapons - Chant Nine [Serenades]

June - Psychic Process

Hypnotic Discotheque is a Jerusalem based DIY party night and rave crew, an artist collective and a network of DJ’s that share a common vision, in and outside of troubled Jerusalem. 

This V/A compilation is the collective’s second release following last year's WFTG VOL 1 that featured original tracks from the crew’s founding members.  

Featuring on Working for the Government VOL 2 are key figures and close relatives of the Hypnotic family such as veteran acid hero and Confused Machines label boss Mule Driver, rising electro warrior Rapha (label boss Chateau Royal) among others. 

This compilation represents Hypnotic’s wide and diverse musical and cultural identity - bringing together noise-heads, clubbers, nature dwellers and  outsiders. 

The premiered track comes from Feller - A broken house tune that represents the Hypnotic's foundational member's hybrid-mind and sample-fueled heart.

PREMIERE⚡️Feller - Hypno Fluently [Hypnotic Discotheque Music]

After releasing multiple singles in the past, Istanbul based DJ and producer Inner B. is making his return with his debut EP. It has been two years since the last time he released a track and this time he has a lot to tell about his past experiences. During this period, he moved to Istanbul from Manchester. Inner B. wants to bring both cities’ cultural spectrum into one imaginary bowl. He wants to experience once again what both cities have taught him in his journey.

This four track EP contains cosmic and euphoric sounds from head to toe. While the first track is welcoming you to the EP with choir pads, the second track invites you to move forward with synth arpeggios. The third track is just a great way to say goodbye to the storyline, which comes alive with 303 bass line. The final track of the EP is a remix by Met Blue, which hits hard enough to finish with a bang!

Lopazz takes the credit for mastering while Taha Oztas is on design duties.
