Val-Air - Old Johnny's Groove (Balearic Mix)

Alex Albrecht returns with Aurora - a pristine followup to his Blue Caves transmission via Scissor and Thread in 2018.

The Melbourne based composer and sound designer Albrecht has leans into his predilection for woozy, affecting melodies intertwined with skittering drums and snaking grooves, and Aurora brings that to the fore with six tracks of shimmering beauty.

The title track Aurora is shared here as a remix by @roza-terenzi, who entirely reworks the track with her signature club ready grooves.

Tom Bioly - It's Alright

Faunipulate ~ I designed this track with controlled chaos in mind, the name is a representation of how us beings have manipulated the fauna around us, the respect of the environment is always priority.

Every sound is a modular approach to sound design, using some awesome M4L devices to map the parameters at random but keeping a controlled rhythm, sitting at 120BPM we're just chilling to the dub soundscapes. 

Thank you for listening, Legends <3

Missing in action

The keeping of pets marks humans’ attempt at taking possession of a part of reality that is not at his disposal. Dressing a piece of the real that lives according to entirely non-human rules and which only in the saddest case does not resist the discipline of the human symbolic order vehemently and in a sustained matter, is a violent act of protection. Because in the non-place of the real, all that which we are helpless in the face of looms: the non-logical and the nameless, the violence and the noise, yet also the unrestrained and unfiltered desire.
The innocuous figure of the pet marks a gateway to an investigation of these eerie milieus, while electronic dance music lends itself to this investigation in an outstanding way. This constellation marks the subject of Column’s ‘Pets II.’ 

Column is the name of Cologne based renaissance man Jan Philipp Janzen, who, as chief emissary of Cologne’s pop internationalism, has been playing the field in various functions for Von Spar, Cologne Tapes, Urlaub in Polen, Owen Pallett, Scout Niblett or The Field, and who has also, in one way or another, been involved in most relevant records coming out of Cologne for the past number of years. After his
excellent solo debut ‘Pets I’ (Areal, 2016), Janzen presents another extraordinary record in ‘Pets II,’ perfectly complemented by another ghostly oil work of Burkhard Moennich on the cover.
Sonically, ‘Pets II’ marks a clear development for Column. In its exploration of the thresholds of the real, it sets two points of focus, corresponding with the split in sides A and B. Side A, on which Janzen teams up with long-time friend myr. (PNN), explores the uncanny as a fissure of the symbolic order, and the subsequent breaking in of the real. It opens with two peaktime rockets that have their wooden, nether-regional groove narrated by grim, down-pitched vocals. The ethereal remix by Leibniz (hundert) seems to be observing the situation from a hiding place, and is the side’s clandestine and no less dark closer. Side B, for which Janzen invited studiomate Marvin Horsch (Dorfjungs/Beats in Space) along, delivers two swaying synthesizer workouts, the second of which, “Molly and Swerve,” is directed firmly at the dancefloor again. What is at stake here is the transition between a free, undirected jouissance of the real and a more ordered becoming-lust. Here, as in
Map.ache’s (Kann/Giegling/Altin Village) remix which closes out ‘Pets II,’ it becomes clear what connections dance music can foster between a free, impersonal desire and the sphere of interpersonal wanting, but also the losses that are negotiated in it.

Above all, however, it becomes evident what a courageous daring project ‘Pets II’ is in all of its conceptual and aesthetic determination; with Von Spar’s standout ‘Garzweiler’ 12” (Altin Village & Mine, 2017), it documents a New Cologne Realism.

Hostels (Map.ache Remix)

Column - Hostels (Map.ache Remix)- IRR017

The river roared as the water cascaded rapidly down the mountain side, in the midst of the jungle the rain could be heard pattering against the leafy ceiling. A storm was coming, a thunderous beast which might bring struggle and strife to the people of the region. It was as if someone were banging a great drum in the sky, an echoing reverb with a weighty clap and the boom of heat. It was an Amazon dub, a rumbling power with the ability to bring ruin and  chaos. All the animals looked for shelter from the roaring storm in the bitter hope that they might see the glow of daylight once more...

General P.D.C is the monniker of HLM38, he returns with a dub infused beast for French label Notte Brigante alongside a deep, exotic remix from the Beesmunt Soundsystem guys.

The EP is an intriguing venture through rugged slow moving electronics with a punkish edge.
