A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat ...is now starting.

INCOMING : Vini Pistori Feat Abrão - Sobrevivendo O Desacordo (Iñigo Vontier Remix) #Calypso

The Calypso cult keeps spreading around the world and this time they welcome: Vini Pistori and Red Axes frequent guest Abrão. The two Brasilians join forces to deliver an epic EP called “Louco & Sobrevivendo”.

“Luoco Chama” slowly starts with a simple beat until Abrao's vocals kick in to get you in the mood while a mental arp keeps the track driving foward. “Sobrevivendo o Desacordo” brings a strong modulating bass and again the epic Abrao vocals intervine for a dreamy interlude and a complete release of energy. The tracks are simple to leave space for the voice but powerfull enough to have a life on it's own.

Label bosses come to rework each of the tracks. Iñigo takes “Sobrevivendo o Desacordo” and transforms it into a percussion frenzy with robotic vocals. While Thomass takes “Luoco Chama” and makes it an instant classic with a "White Horse style" bassline and acid touches that add new psychedelia to the track.

Latin american forces in full swing from start to finish.

INCOMING : Vini Pistori Feat Abrão - Sobrevivendo O Desacordo (Iñigo Vontier Remix) #Calypso

Tenebrous frenchman Jon Beige (formerly known as Beige) strikes back with his 3rd release, and once again creates his own genres that we’re going to define here as ghettowave or leftfield-core. Melting high-tech soundscapes, hypnotic synths and broken drums, his heavily synthetic universe spreads into 5 new tracks. Here’s a few words about them, including comments from the producer himself.

Distorsion Naturelle de l’Auto Radio is a straight-in-the-face kind of entrance. This arid and distorted urban jam puts you straight in the heart of Jon Beige’s dystopian Gotham paradise « I often imagine it as a laser tag game that would turn wrong ».  

On Palo Santo, Jon Beige is going dancehall. Using the genre’s symptomatic drum pattern, he navigates between club-friendly and meditative moods in a tensed yet balanced journey. « That’s the track I think is the most finished of the EP, but all the tracks match together in a not-fully-calculated way ».Hydrocution is a funk ballad, like a mysterious forest walk surrounded by disturbing but harmless creatures that are taking you to a bright glade, where you will finally stumble into the master of the place. « I often struggle to produce something simple with just a few elements – this track is the first time I succeeded. »

Isolat is a smooth and psychedelic sci-fi trip, unexpected and always moving forward « I imagined a little robot lost in a city suburb, wondering what he was doing there. Mood is kinda Spike Jonze’s ‘’Da Funk’’ but with a robot ».

The EP closes in a very noir scene, heavy rain, melancholia and cold blooded crimes : Déjeuner Sous l’Herbe won’t let you rest in peace. « This track, my oldest on this EP, was made in 2014. I’m still really into the solo in the end ».  

The artwork is designed and imagined by Belgrade-based artist and producer Stevie Whisper, aka the hands behind Yes and Mystic Stylez.
The record will be released as a ziplock package that includes a USB stick with the WAV files and exclusive club remixes + a limited edition poster + some cool stickers.

Releasing Jon Beige since his earliest work, Global Warming Records is run by french producer and talent seeker Malcolm, who imagines and shapes each project hand in hand with his artists. Friendly Surveillance will be the label’s 12th release.

Jon Beige - Distorsion Naturelle de l'Auto Radio

Hoshina Anniversary returns to MUSAR under a new cloak, Shifting Gears.

Toyko’s Hoshina Anniversary has risen to particular prominence in recent years with his self-titled brand of ‘Watechno’. Stylistically fusing traditional Japanese instrumentation with Chicago and Detroit sensibilities, his works have found homes on ESP Institute, Young Marco’s Safe Trip and Amsterdam-based MUSAR Recordings.

Landing on the latter, MUSAR, little over a year ago with ‘Zangai’ EP, Hoshina returns under a new cloak, Shifting Gears, to present ‘Evil’ EP.

Named after the 1975 ‘Gears’ LP of jazz and hard bop organist, Johnny Hammond, the Shifting Gears moniker focuses heavily on principles of Jazz and raw musicianship, with a continued exploration of machine-reared club sounds. How the two can take shape as one.

Across ‘Evil’ EP, Hoshina’s native culture remains, as heard on ‘Miyatsukomaro’, where traditional Japanese strings harmonise with crisp hats and jazz keys. Inspired by the early works of keyboardist and composer, Bob James, all is underpinned by intrinsic Chicago synth work.

A recurrent theme throughout, the Chicago vibe most notably takes hold on title track ‘Evil’. An insidious march, the floor-pummeling kick and shoulder-tickling toms marry seamlessly with dracula-esque chords and dizzying piano arrangements. Nodding to the mischievous bassist Jaco Pastorius of jazz fusion band, Weather Report.

Informed by the pacey creations of a revered duo, The Brecker Brothers and the 70’s rock music that soundtracked Hoshina’s youth, opener, ‘Senor Senorita’ wraps swathing reverb around a raucous melody and jiving percussion. Meanwhile, the seedy ‘Syndicate’ closes out amid eerie synth sneers and quirky, funk-flecked modulations.

The water rippled and glistened under the sun as if there were a thousand diamonds hidden below the surface. Amidst the rapids, small amphibious animals and colourful fish swam happily with the tide, finding new homes to settle in along the way. Back on land, many locals came down to the river to bathe or swim each day; its depths provided a perfect place to meet, talk and bask in the crystal clear waters...

Ore Yèyé O is the fruits of a collaboration between New Zealand producer Aron Ottignon and Puerto-Rico-based vocalist and Yoruba priest Otura Mun, better known as Ìfé. A meeting in 2017 led them to exchange ideas and begin jamming together, with Aron then editing and arranging the tracks before Mun laid over his lyrics. The result is a song that is a salute and prayer to Yoruban deity Oshùn, with Mun's vocals lifting the listener into spiritual spheres whilst Aron's piano chords unfold and balance harmonically below. Alongside the original track, three producers take on remix duties, including BBE's Julien Dyne, Ziggy Zeitgeist and TFGC affiliate Lucas Croon, who propels the original incantations into hypnotic depths.

HF : "How did you discover this track ? Why did you choose to edit it ? "
AT : "I always loved the Italian Cinematic Beat Scene from the 60s and 70s and Maestro Armando Trovajoli was definitely one of most brilliant composers of that golden era.
I also always enjoyed the movie "Riusciranno i nostri eroi a ritrovare l'amico misteriosamente scomparso in Africa?"(1968), filmed between Rome and Angola and inspired by Joseph Conrad's "Hearts of Darkness", although in a laid-back funny way.
This is just my trippy "Luanda Dark" Re-interpretation of "Feitiço da Noite"."

Artist: Niko Marks
Title: No Fairy Tale Love
Label:  U2XProductions
Format: Digital
Release date: OUT NOW
Purchase: https://nikomarks.bandcamp.com/album/no-fairy

This release was recorded during the covid19 crisis as a showing of true endurance to complete an idea no matter what. Some of the vocal tracks were recorded virtually which felt bit strange at first but worked out in the end. The Ep starts with the title track, “No Fairy” which is an upbeat, piano driven, instrumental. Next up is a remix of the track that follows called, “Carry Me” which is mostly driven by piano stabs and synths. Track 3 is a mellow tempo, vocal house jam which feature the vocal talents of, Trina Williams. The Ep moves along through tracks 4 & 5 with two mixes that feature vocals by Eva Soul.

PREMIERE #1129 | Niko Marks - No Fairy Tale Love (Cheerios Mix) [U2XProductions] 2020

Serial Error was founded as a New Beat project when Jacob Korn was asked for a submission to the 'Our Beat Is Still New' compilation series on the Belgian We Play House label in late 2014.

Knowing the retro-experienced skills of his label mates from Uncanny Valley, he teamed up with Credit 00 & Sneaker and they produced Drum Abuse, a track that finally became the cue for their first full 12'' maxi single in 2018 on Rat Life Records; a label curated by Credit 00.
Now they keep on malfunctioning with a 4-tracker featuring the bizarre title Afro Gothic.

The eponymous track was the first shot when they got together for a second EP in Jacob's studio in now demolished premises (the typical daily Rat Life). The slow, steamy roller captures the amateurish live percussion skills of Credit 00, while - on the other hand - he played one of the manuals of Jacob's 'Son of GX' organ along with Sneaker playing the other manual of the leading voice synth.

On top, they added a classic acapella - a sudden strike of genius - 'perfectly matching the solemn vibe' (in their opinion; artist quote).

PRÈMIÉRE: Serial Error - Art Academy Talk (Vocal) [Rat Life Records]

Absent-mindedly dipping your hand in the pool, you glance down as your skin shimmers lightly in tandem with the pristine blue water. Reaching to grab your cocktail, you find yourself sticking to the sun lounger like melted cheese. Weird. Hang on, you could’ve sworn that baby hippo wasn’t wearing sunglasses the last time you looked over? Whatever, the music sounds incredible right now, and you breathe a deep sigh as the waves wash in.

Landing on our own Ransom Note Records, following our Pen Pals 2 compilation and Flug 8 LP release, is a long player from Hologram Teen AKA former Stereolab keyboardist Morgane Lhote. Her debut as a solo artist came five years ago followed by her first album Between The Funk and the Fear surfacing in 2018. Now she comes correct with her sophomore release, Pizza Conspiracy: a kaleidoscopic marvel that folds acid-drenched funk and Congolese rumba into astral jazz and Daisy Age hip-hop, reminiscent of 00's beat tapes à la MF Doom, Donuts, The Avalanches and Madlib's Beat Konducta series.

Artist: Erta Ale

Format: 12" Vinyl
Release date: 28/08/20
Purchase: https://es.juno.co.uk/products/erta-ale-sln-016/785056-01/

‘SLN016’ is a 4 break beat track journey which kicks off the release of the opening track ‘SLN016A1’. Easing into break house at it’s finest with soulful vocals, organic drumming and jazzy bass lines. In his ‘state of flow’ attitude, Erta Ale presents quite possibly his best electro-break house release so far; thick kicks interpolated with chords and disorientating solo-synths, characterized by the other tracks on this EP. Mastered in full analog style by the master Tim Xavier.

Lyrics:
No color so blatant 
Replacement already taken 
Swimming around your neck 
All memories so fragrant 
Impatiently unshaken 
Crawling around your neck
So blue
It’s what it is 
And it’s what it was
But you don’t wanna hear
Shine on
Another assorted bliss
Already here
Already 
So blue

Hazel

Dukes Of Chutney - Scent Of India (Feat. E Ruscha V)

Chest pulsing quickly, she inhaled in short bursts, trying to regulate her breathing. Anxiety was slowly creeping in but she tried her best to keep it at bay, focusing her attention on a spot on the ceiling. The temperature was obscene, unbearable almost; the open window offering very little respite. After a while she began to succumb to the reality that she would be twisting and turning all night long, sleep was off the menu. 

Stepping up for the next release on Barcelona-based Playground Records comes from Ukrainian artist ID_UA, a two-tracker backed up by two hypnotic remixes. Sticky, ritualistic rhythms are present from the off, joined by sharp synths, acid touches and powerful basslines, while our pick, a remix from Disco Halal and Inside Out producer Kincaid, brings sparse tripped-out drums and modulated vocal snippets.

PREMIERE #1133 | Balam - Danza Hua Hua [Hard Fist] 2020

As he lay in the tall grass he looked upwards towards the heavens with a glazed expression. The clouds moved slowly and the wind howled in his ears as he struggled for breath. There was a splutter, a cough and a gasp. For a minute he wasn't sure if he might ever catch the air again but his smart lung, the one which he had left was what kept him afloat, at least for a little while longer anyway. In the distance he could hear the sound of sirens as they raced towards him, he smiled and laughed beneath the sun. 

Sputnik One is set to release a new EP via First Second Label, an imprint upon which he has appeared previously. The new EP is perhaps his most accomplished work to date, an intriguing assortment of tracks with odd twinges here and there.

PREMIERE #1136 | Aditya Permana - Divine Transmission [Karakter] 2020

Monday. 7:27am. A few weak wisps rise up from the toaster, the beige matter inside turning evil charcoal black. Acridity woke the room, and nearly sent it back to bed. The alarm screamed and time was up. Sunday. 9:32pm. An elegant dance of smoke swirled up from the fire, crackling, embering and lightly toasting the shins of its worshippers. Warmth swelled outwards, and gathered bodies in. The breeze moved silently and time was long.

Jon Beige (formerly just Beige) is the next man up on French label, Global Warming. They are familiar with all manner of climates: chilly industrial, steamy techno, wet trap and now thundering dancehall on Beige’s Friendly Surveillance EP. As with his recent releases, including a heavy edit of the Macarena and an EP featuring Acid Arab and Don’t DJ remixes in 2018, he darkens the genre’s usually bright rhythm. He shades it with rugged electronics and dalek-style vocal overdubs, barking maddened rhetoric about the Christian religion. If DAF did dembow this might be the product, left floating somewhere in the cold mid-Atlantic between Europe and the Caribbean.

PREMIERE: Jon Beige - Palo Santo [Global Warming Records]

The dusty winding stairs seemed to tower high into the rafters, a never-ending climb to the second floor. Looking up above she felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet, the vertigo had already began to settle in before she'd even taken that first step. Refocusing her mind and inhaling deeply, she started her assent, hands gripped tightly to the railing beside her. "Don't look down, don't look down" she muttered repeatedly under her breath. Just one small look over her shoulder and she'd have to start all over again...

Dublin's Woozy collective, helmed by EMA & Sputnik One, kick off their label arm with a 7-track V/A that brings together some of the most exciting new names in bass and club. Beginning as a party series, the crew's inaugural release titled Woozy01 (what else?) features contributions from label boss Sputnik One, Kamus, Yushh, Glimmerman, Kellen303, San and our pick from Bristolian Jurango who brings crisp percussion and whirring dembow rhythms.
