PREMIERE⚡Farkoner - Le Raptor [Délices du Midi]

"It always makes sense to follow the light, even if it is far away across the oceans, steppes and wastelands of life itself, even if it will be difficult, painful and maybe even full of tears, gloom and doubts. Sometimes you can't just flow, just be and watch. Such a life would be a mere illusion, at least if you believe that you have your place in this world, a space in which you should leave something. And you realize that everything is not a matter of course, that even ordinary life itself is not taken for granted. And you know that best when something knocks you to your knees on the way to the imaginary light. But how to overcome all this and move on, in this world, where some have their ego, their business, their appearance and are in a spiral of consumer life formed by contemporary society? Aren't we all alone in the end? Luckily no... and this realization is euphorically liberating.

With the raw poetics of a wistful and almost soundtrack-like ambient I'm looking for how we can overcome the various obstacles on this path as easily as possible. How we can get out of the rut and look positively even on the most challenging days, when we have the impression that something like goodness is disappearing.

And maybe only at this point will we know that charm, that feeling that even on the hardest days we can find calmness, determination, and the strength to definitively fight the feelings of failure that wanted to destroy us. All this and many other thoughts are expressed in my album 'Hard Days in Goodness Spent', created in the heart of Europe, in my native Czech Republic."

Umé Records presents the album "Hard Days in Goodness Spent" from the Czech Republic's Martin Kuška.

PREMIERE⚡️Jokios Kultūros - Celebration Of Existence (thelastsunday remix)

Z i g Z o y d - a vital shapeshifting ecosystem; bursting its splashes of electric lava into Isla to Isla world of sounds. We are dearly welcoming Exoternal with her sonic micro world and proudly releasing this hot 5-tracker.

Taking a significant turn from her previous release, the new EP - Z i g Z o y d - greets you as a fierce and friendly audio beast. It’s an adventurous twist of IDM and groovy tribalism, which results in purely synthetic music suitable for more sophisticated dancefloors as well as pleasurable home listening.

“Nahum” is a banging opener, an intense yet extremely curious piece. Heavy kicks surrounded by percussive triplets allow you to braindance and massage your body with low frequencies. “Adroit Am I” is kind of a joyful ballad of those synthetic screeching voices, whose nature is still to be discovered by future generations of sonic explorers. “Trapezoid Conundrum” - the first single of the EP is a repetitive piece, like a trapezoidal machinery working its existence. “Bestia” is the most 4-to-the-floor oriented track. Filled with breathing synths and strong kicks, it (again) welcomes you to a peak time weirdo dancefloor. “Espionage” is probably the darkest piece of this 5-tracker. Screeching synths and a slow rhythm bid you farewell out of this sonic journey, leaving some kind of a hook inside.

That said, Z i g Z o y d is an exciting piece of contemporary electronic music.

PREMIERE⚡️Exoternal - Adroit Am I  [Isla to Isla]

Just in time for the onset of summer, Break Mode returns with a long-awaited single. Originally slated for his upcoming release, "Televisions," it didn’t quite fit with the rest of the tracks. However, BoR crew members and friends who listened insisted it be released. Party tested, approved, and here it is! Break Mode's tribute to one of his favorite coming-of-age shows: the ever-Balearic, krauty, sun-chasing anthem, "My So Called Life."

PREMIERE⚡️Break Mode - My So Called Life [Bed Of Roses]

If you missed the original Secret Circuit album ("Green Mirror" 2xLP) which came out last year, it's been lauded as Eddie Ruscha's finest work and has been one of the label's best sellers (and some even saying the label's "best release").

To mark a year since its release 4 remixers were asked to re-interpret tracks from the album. As one would expect with original source material that ranges from minimal and space-y tech to properly drifting ambience, the pool of remixers (and the resultant remixes) are equally diverse. First up is Glasgow-based tropical traveller Kusht who turns the album's opening track "Undenying" into a trippy slo-mo chugfest. This is followed by Khidja's Andrei Rusu who takes on "Light On The Sand" which comes out transformed into a polyrhythmic Steve Reich-ian epic of stuttering synths and tuned percussion. The Froid Dub remix is as dubby and lo-fi as you'd expect from these two French dub-wave geniuses...and closing up is veteran Switzerland-based experimentalist Michal Turtle whose version takes things in a strange but familiarly emotive direction.
