WhyPeopleWar - Fundraiser for Ukraine vol.2

WhyPeopleWar: Théo Muller - Dada Ride

Two years after our last V/A, we're back with the first opus of our ‘Vapordub’ imprint series. Another artifact rising from the depths of the leftfield music scene, this time focused on contemporary psychedelics.
Highly inspired by the textures of the vaporwave sonic aesthetic, our 16-track compilation displays in turns intriguing sound design, graceful synths from a new age, weird exotics and psychoactive slow-dubs.

Designed to please either curious or skilled ears, our various paves the way for a 90-minute mind wandering in distant, fantasized realms. Featuring renowned international artists, up and coming French projects and obscure aliases in the likes of A Strange Wedding & Camille Claire Olympie, Alieno deBootes, Babau, Bouti, Dean O’Brien Resorts, Dylan Henner, Georgia, Giant Grouper, Herbarium, Horn Chants, Jonnnah, Naomie Klaus, Nuke Watch, Polonius, Salamanda and Vica Pacheco.

To be published on March 30, 2022 on a 2x 12” gatefold-vinyl-bundle, including marbled &-transparent waxes and a mesmerizing combination between Vica Pacheco’s artwork and Romain Guillo’s design.

Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

Vol.3

Anatolia (Poperttelli Remix)

Oscura Resistentia, Mysteriously oscillating between downtempo, cosmic-disco, library, alternative melodies, psychedelic rock, synth-pop and dub, Oscura Resistencia also turns to darker worlds with post-punk, new-wave or techno accents. Through a ballad with varied and moody electronic vapors, she explores the limits of the balance between softness and darkness. A good soup of often unclassifiable elements simmered with love and sometimes surprising.

Oscura Resistentia [17.06.2022]

I have been knowing Schönfeld for many years already and following his musical output. It took a while until we found seven new songs from him for you. Now we are back with a little journey that takes you from hidden castles to the Mecklenburgian countryside, from a family party deep into the jungle and under the water. It all ends with a slow and beautiful song where he finally plays his trumpet again. 

The other side of the tape shows you the danceable side of Kadent - „a cute producer from Berlin with original Berliner Schnauze“. It starts with three of his dub techno songs followed by the summer hit Polarity. He then shows you how to have fun with relaxed drum ’n’ bass. Doctor Ballerton is really slow but energetic in its own way and Synthetic Substitution brings back the summer and lets me want to dance outside again. 

Enjoy the musical cosmos of both Kadent and Schönfeld.

PREMIERE⚡️Simon Crab - Stack Interchange [Space Ritual]

Que Sakamoto & NT, Anna Vs June, DJ Blech, Lastrack and Tassilo Vanhöfen remixed Los Pashminas’ White Series #2 EP. 

After Los Pashminas' debut release, we put the music in the hands of these five trusted producers. While Que Sakamoto & NT raise the BPMs for high dancefloor effectiveness, Tassilo Vanhöfen adds his touch by making ‘Turtle Haze Convolution’ a heavy and dark groove bomb. Lastrack transforms the same track into a massive base-slash-dubstep number that will unleash its power on any big sound system. Anna Vs June from Athens adds a personal touch to ‘Chameleon Brain Dance’ by contributing her own voice and DJ Blech explores the world of polyrhythms and creates a trippy journey on the base of ‘Lobster Symbiotic Dialogue’.

Los Pashminas - Turtle Haze Convolution (Tassilo Vanhöfen Remix)

sampagne type Beat check-in (prod. Tim House)

Like a phoenix from the ashes, or Ukrainian culture after centuries of demolition, the Kyiv based label Noneside Records is experiencing its revival and rebirth. After all, «Nothing will stop an idea whose time has come» - these words of chief Stepan Bandera make it clear to everyone: if you really burn with sincere emotion for your dream - no difficulties will stop you on the way to its realization.

Five unique tracks from Slava Los, Yevhenii Loi, Lostlojic, Luschn and aqua. - is a tech house with elements of trance with soul and passion from musicians who write music despite the war. Visualization of the whole action on the record is the picture «The hug» by the Lviv artist Oles Derega.

Slava Los makes his debut on vinyl with the beautiful track «Snus» - old school trance in the best traditions. The author now defends the borders in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so he decided to fulfill his old dream about the vinyl. Yevgeny Loi is also currently in the military, but this did not prevent him from making a new version of «Bounce» - a trance for a slow, erotic dance mood. Lostlojic, who is also the art director of the project, recalls the important message of «Send Me F16» in the uncompromising track of the same name, or rather in its VIP version created especially for the release. Known to vinyl collectors for releases on Deeptrax and Infinite Pleasure. Luschn, a Kyiv legend and mega productive musician, known to tech house maniacs for his releases on Vector.Kyiv and Noneside, invites you to have fun and crazy dances with friends to his rehearsed «Ostinato Transdanz». Newbie aqua. has a unique recognizable style, where the rhythm is constantly changing in each track, nostalgic for the favorite place of childhood - near the Hydroelectric Station in Zaporizhzhia, crazy beats and steppe motifs in the track «H.E.S.».
