Two years after the milestone SOMEWHERE compilations, Something Happening Somewhere is commemorating the times that have passed, returning with a new chapter in the series. Selecting unique pieces of artists known and less known, the SOMEWHERE series continue their sound based confessional. Telling unheard stories, exposing unseen surfaces and unheard sounds.

SOMEWHERE III is set to be released as two vinyl samplers, with a selection of the tracks featured in the full digital compilations, which will feature four extra digital only tracks. A host of familiar SoHaSo figures make an appearance, but there is also room for new faces like Aril Brikha, KAAP, Ripperton in his stunning collab with Love over Entropy, Equus, Tracey and Mulder. The whole effort is packaged in a beautiful artwork sleeve designed by ever talented designer Quentin Deronzier. There are things radiating in the violet fog, waiting to be discovered. Journeys that are worth making, but will not necessarily provide any more answers. Something is happening somewhere, once again.

Every artist on this SOMEWHERE III compilation is expressing their unique experience through sound waves, telling stories and uncovering a piece of themselves. Is there a line that divides your consciousness from the next? This compilation inhabits a space, best experienced as one entity with many faces. From Love over Entropy and Ripperton’s quantum temperature organic grooves to KAAP’s lush and retro Sunset Vertigo. From Sigward providing an emotional ambient journey to Kiani & His Legion’s Japanese sounding Motion Academy. From Aril Brikha’s disco infused Eat The Heart to Tracey’s hypnotizing dance floor affair. The tracks morph into the next without leaving any trace or clues, every moment presenting something new to discover. Nothings lasts but nothing is lost and there is something for everyone.

Kiani & His Legion - Motion Academy (Longer) (SOMEWHERE03)

Bufi is back with ‘México 70’ a new album, a couple of years after his sophomore LP on Discotexas ‘Revelación’.

With a broader, more eclectic palette of sounds and rhythms, this time the music gets infected with cowbells and bongoes, prehispanic samples, funky guitars, "guapachoso" basses and ethereal vocals. From the pseudo cumbia of "Hillalum (Amazónica)" to the suicidesque jam of "Impresionistas", this addictive album will induce you to have a lot of fun from the beginning till the end.

The artwork is a design by portuguese artist Braulio Amado, responsible for the covers of Bufi's previous two singles extracted from this same LP, "Brujerías" and "Hillalum (Amazónica)", released late 2018.

Bufi - Máquina del Ritmo

There is a phrase often told that goes something to the effect of, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That a single thing made up of many others can eclipse them all. Puzzles, or paintings seem to spring to mind immediately. Credit for this phrase goes to the philosopher Aristotle for first uttering that thought a few thousand years ago, among his other accomplishments but I digress. Our ‘whole’, our ‘thing’ for today and for a very long while, is Zendama.

Presented in two parts, Zendama is an eight track compilation compiled by Swiss producer and dj, Ripperton. Zendama, for the curious, means ‘Good person’ in Japanese and is remarkably apt for this body of work. To quote Ripperton when talking about the release, “The common point between all these pieces is that the people who made them are all wonderful humans involved in making good music and keeping a positive spirit.” That spirit is what I believe binds the pieces and elevates this compilation beyond the sum of its ‘parts’. Each track within could very well be a standalone A side. There is no filler, there is no obscure for the sake of. What you do have is 8 tracks balanced incredibly well, in vibe, in detail, that make sense as a whole.

Part 1
  A1. Matt Karmil - Just for me
  A2. Lord Of The Isles - Luminous Black & Emerald
  B1. Jackmate, Nik Reiff - Rerun (Jackmates Special Interest Dub)
  B2. Ripperton - Indian tree
Part 2
  A1. DJ Nature - Signs Of the Sun
  A2. Mary Yalex - How U really feel
  B1. Crowdpleaser - Claire
  B2. Iron Curtis - Werc Werc Werc (Andy Hart Remix)

With all of this in mind, the premiere for today is none other than Ripperton himself’s offering on the compilation, Indian tree. Sitting at the end of part one, Indian tree is the embodiment of a feeling of movement twisting through time and space, touched ever so slightly by passing bodies. This movement of soaring pads and leads, coupled with a pattering percussion almost evoke a mental scene of rain falling on an ocean. 

From the emotional highs of Jackmates dub of Rerun, to Mary Yalex’s piercing leads on How U really feel and the cryptic depths of Luminous Black & Emerald, Zendama encompasses a wide realm of simply good music. That almost seems like a dis-service to say but in this case I believe hyperbole isn’t needed. If you enjoyed Indian tree, picking up the rest of the compilation is a must and can be done at bandcamp. We highly recommend it.

Ripperton Presents Zendama (Part one)

PREMIERE: Ripperton - Indian Tree [Tamed Musiq]

Having taken a well-earned 5 year break from releasing music after his debut 'Mr. Croissant Taker' appeared on Soulwax's Grand Theft Auto V radio station, Belgian producer Transistorcake made a triumphant return in 2019 with the stunning 'Future Plans' EP on Eskimo Recordings. 

Featuring 4 tracks of hazy electronica that would have sat neatly alongside early releases on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label or recent excursions by the likes of Palmbomen and Betonkust, the EP’s opening track ‘Future Plan I’ now gets a fresh remix courtesy of, well as it happens, the aforementioned Dutch producer Betonkust.

Where the original was a slowly evolving slice of evocative and ultimately euphoric electronica, Betonkust’s remix keeps the main melodies but cuts them up over a proto-hardcore breakbeat, think early Todd Terry Royal House productions, and launches the track back into space ably assisted by the kind of heart melting strings that hugging strangers in the dark were made for. 

Alongside Betonkust’s remix we also have a brand new ‘Alternate Take’ of the track from Transistorcake himself. With a more improvised feel to the lead synth melody and driving motorik drums it’s both an interesting insight into the development of the track and Transistorcake’s new full live show that he will be debuting this autumn.

Transistorcake - Future Plan I (Alternate Take)

This song is about a character, who managed to break into the world they don’t belong in. They managed to lead a whole life and inspire other people to do things they’d always been afraid of. Love and rebel are an integral part of this journey

Do It (Instrumental)

If records were judged on name alone then Tonarunur's 'Relatively Safe Horseback Riding' would be a shoe-in for all 2020's end of year lists already. As it is the Icelandic producer's Eskimo debut more than stands on its musical merits too and if ever a song has better captured the fun and excitement of a ride on a magical flying horse via the medium of sparkling synth heavy space disco then we've yet to hear it (and of course would love to).

Première https://soundcloud.com/sidekick-music - https://sidekick-music.com/2020/04/02/premiere-tonarunur-relatively-safe-horseback-riding/

As it enters its 20th year of existence Belgian label Eskimo Recordings shows no sign of slowing down or scaling back its ambition. To kickstart this auspicious year the label returns with the ‘The White Collection’, the 8th release in its acclaimed ‘Colour Series’ and a globetrotting compilation featuring 15 tracks of leftfield electronic music drawn from 10 different countries, covering everything from cosmic disco to industrial sounding techno via Middle Eastern inspired house music and psychedelic electronic dub.

Featuring label veterans such as NTEIBINT, recent signings like Cavego, Paresse and Antenna and several acts making their debut including Gent-based 4 piece band Omar Dahl, up & coming Australian producer The Oddness and Reykjavik’s Tonarunar, ‘The White Collection’ is a both a snapshot of an electronic music scene in constant flux and a label that refuses to rest on its laurels.

Since launching in the year 2000, Gent based Eskimo Recordings has become one of the leading electronic music labels in the world releasing genre defining artist albums and compilations from Satin Jackets, Aeroplane, Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas, The Glimmers, Optimo, Psychemagik and many more. Since its launch in 2013 the ‘Colour Series’, now in its 8th edition, has continued to build upon the label’s reputation, not only for discovering and curating great music but for great design and continuing that tradition the cover for ‘The White Collection’ features a stunning photo, ‘Gravitation’, by Amsterdam-based German photographer Katrin Korfmann.

Tonarunur - Relatively Safe Horseback Riding [The White Collection]

!!! These are stripped-down 160mp3 snippets of the original tracks !!!

Artist: Al Chem
Title: Metaphysics Of Love EP (incl. remixes of Shahrokh Dini and Michael Reinboth)
Catalog No: CPT 571-1/-3
Format: 12" / digital

If something can be aseptic cold like the New Romantics and deep, soulful and trippy at the same moment, then this release by Berlin’s Al Chem, which is a pretty damn thorough modelling of no wave.
  and vocals in a minimal lo-fi electronic soul-bed is hard to find. Al Chem’s voice and lyrics are beautiful, over an ethereal dive. Al Chem extracting a rich sense of emotion from a hypnotic grooving synth-pad.
 With some tipp-topp hitters on remix duty: Shahrokh Dini made an absolutely stunning quirky peak time club mix, while Compost‘s boss Michael Reinboth is riding tough on a stone-cold  80ties groove.

Alexander Christou aka Al Chem / The Elecdrones – producer, composer, singer and DJ 1962-1968 London, 1968-1979 Würzburg, since 1980 in Berlin
