Microdosing is a series of compilation 12”s selected by Julienne Dessagne aka Fantastic Twins, and designed in collaboration with French visual artist Geff Pellet. Microdosing is a collective experiment aimed at helping you fighting back your modern obsession with happiness. You may deserve a nice day but the day does not need a nice you, nothing should be forced, everything is permitted. 

Microdosing will provide you with sonic healing weapons on regular basis and at irregular dosage. Those doses will favour psychedelic social techniques against self help tyranny, creation over soma, provoking over numbing, our outer-selves over our inner-selves. 

Microdosing refuses the fatality of the pleasure principle. Life is a struggle, time to embrace it.

MICRODOSING

Following onwards from the first two volumes, Fantastic Twins' Microdosing imprint returns with its third various artists EP, featuring the likes of Borusiade, Zillas On Acid, Scott Fraser and Cooper. We've the pleasure of airing the latter his contribution in its entirety here today. Titled 'Phase 0', the track embarks on an exploration through morphing rhythmics, interstellar soundscapes and zoned out minimalism. One for the dance floor droids.

LUX FRAGIL

MICRODOSING TINCTURE LOT 001.  EARLY DOORS @ LUX FRAGIL BY IVAN SMAGGHE

Since Biesmans made his debut on AEON last year with his “A Long Road” EP, he has continued to build a profile and musical output that is both exciting and ground breaking. So it’s with great pleasure that we welcome him back to the label for his follow up EP “Top Gun”

Biesmans has decided to showcase two subtly different versions of the title track “Top Gun”. Version 1 is a stunningly produced lo-fi disco workout with nod to 80’s synth classics. A dynamic bass line underpins a delightfully simple but effective groove and delicious melodies. Version 2 is similar in it’s approach but is perhaps a little more strident. Biesmans said “I often make several versions of a track when I’m writing and then focus in on a particular version. In this case I couldn’t decide so I figured let’s release both!'
“Dr Electric” is a more melancholy in it’s approach, with a broken beat, subtle synths and vocodered vocals taking centre stage, with almost blissful prog rock leanings in places.

Remix duties are taken up by Permanent Vacation head honcho and AEON favorite Benjamin Fröhlich and Italian duo Phunkadelica.
Both have chosen to tackle “Dr Electric” and the results are sublime. Fröhlich’s approach stays closest to the original but employs a tougher breakbeat as the foundation for his version, borrowing heavily from the synth content before delivering a driving bass line to take the track into peak time territory. Phunkadelica’s more traditional progressive house style treatment serves up a more hypnotic mix with a galloping baseline and an ever evolving layered style that draws in the listener until a breakdown delivers the spin tingling moments.

Another perfectly balanced EP from the AEON crew with something to satisfy all palates.

Exclusive Dominik Marz - Windpulver

Known for quite some Belters, partly with long-term affiliates David Kochs or Yannick Labbé, Augsburg creative Dominik Marz makes his (solo) debut on Scatcity with his three tracker Windpulver – a German word composition consisting of the words wind and powder. The EP's title track synonimously stands for Marz's preference of recording catchy synth-lines and tonally play around with them until they result in a homogenous composition. In the case or track at hand Dominik even works with two different synth-lines, as the firstly introduced one seems to have the task of providing the listener with deeper keys the second synth-line throws light upon the track and creates while interacting with the track's basis a charming atmosphere, which is hard to escape from as it's as intriguing as the singing of the Loreley.

Dominik Marz's EP Windpulver will be released on Scatcity on May 15th, 2020.

MBR384: EdOne & Martin HERRS - Tatalina
Release Date 22.05.2020

Just a few months after EdOne purveyed his own reinterpretation to
Ivory & Auggie’s leaden prototype, demonstrating a fine
comprehension of “Basic Rhythm,” he returns on MoBlack Records,
now alongside Martin HERRS, and INVŌKER on remix duties, with
“Tatalina.” On A side, the Spaniards delicately unfold a poignant
sojourn that wanders and diffuses the rims of isolation and
belonging. The tender, 6:28 minute aural escapade starts off with a
simple ingress, pummeled by an inquisitive bassline into a gripping
melodic procession. Tatalina escalates to a euphoric stillness
transcended by haunting piano chords, but breaks free when
intermittently disrupted by deep synthetic pulsations, evoking the
frailty of memory and vulnerability of emotion.
French rising star INVŌKER deploys his empowered rendition of the
title track, pulling a bit less feeling from emotion and a little more
feeling from sense. Tension and groove pull and reverb in this
particular tug of play, where space is dark, energy is incandescent
and the texture of sound is moist and locomotive. MB384 sits in the
juncture of memory, motion and emotion, a pursuit of that fleeting
moment that is only present in one instant, as well as an attempt to
prolong its existence through sound.

Microdosing Vol. 4 
1. Strapontin feat. Andy Rantzen - Join The Earth
2. Benedikt Frey - CNDY
3. Joakim - Macrodose

Release 18.06.20 on Bandcamp / 26.0620 on other digital platforms. 

@strapontin
@joakimbouaziz
@freybenedikt

In those dire times, the strange has to be counted as a revolutionary force. Microdosing Vol. 4 is an antidote to the sterile streams and dreams, confined ideas and lobotomising nostalgia.

We create multiple portals to individualities standing up against the new normal, our shared pineal gland opening a communal spontaneity.

Strapontin’s Join the Earth provides you with a psychedelic map to a better world, providing you accept to get lost along the way. The path to a better world is inside your mind.

Benedikt Frey’s CNDY could be the anthem of our New Model Army. This is a marching beat but to a mental guerilla. No ranks, no leader, just a will in action.

Joakim’s Macrodose is our non-order come true, the refusing of the new normal as a sabbath dance of electronic witch drums.

Be Safe! 
We know we are, but our music never will be.

INCOMING : HOVR - Ostsee (Italo Brutalo Remix)  #LauterUnfug
Buy it : https://www.beatport.com/release/ostsee/2998449
Available on : 2020-06-22

HOVR's "Ostsee" drops on Luxemburg's Lauter.records and flows through our ears right into our hearts. A pushing breakbeat, lo-fi chords and gentle vocals recorded on a laptop microphone make us long for the good times.

A cancelled weekend trip to the Baltic Sea in 2019 turned into an intense studio session and inner reflection. With a personal touch, HOVR tries to encapsulate his understanding of loving someone: "Every bed needs a pillow, every house needs a window. Every move needs someone to take it." Debuting on Berlin's open air dance floors last year, this song is finally being released to your homes.

The Ostsee EP is brought to you with two heavy remixes. Italo Brutalo turns Ostsee into an Italo banger that just waits to hit the dance floor with it's wonderful 80s vibe, while Cologne based David Hasert & Faris Hilton release a minimal-tech-slapper with new melodies and a high energy level. Even though all three tracks originate from the same idea, each artist contributes a completely different vibe - we love it!
