The inaugural release from the new Love International X Test Pressing imprint comes from Fantastic Man, the Berlin based Australian whose music has been played by everyone from Aphex Twin to Bicep to Gerd Janson and many more.
  
Love International make good times happen in far flung places, whilst Test Pressing make good times happen physically and in the digital sphere, a meeting of like minds and shared tastes, all bases covered here.  Together this collaboration has been releasing compilation album from the likes of Gatto Fritto, Beautiful Swimmers and Shanti Celeste, and this new label project unites recording artists and designers in a meeting of music and art.

On the ‘Cloud Management’ release, Fantastic Man teams up with Alexander Papoli-Barawati, a German/Filipino/Iranian graphic designer and art director living in Berlin.  The striking and playful graphic design is in tandem with the music, which runs from the beautiful piano–led Balearic sounds of ‘Cloud Manager’ to the floating breaks in ‘Lounge Wizard’, the warped chug tempo in ‘Psychic Monthly’ and the beautiful acid bubbles of release finale, ‘Time Apprentice’.

Action

Dutch vinyl-only label Filament light up our lives again with another V/A concept EP that guides us gently
through an entire night. And while the inaugural release took us through the hazy daze of an open air festival,
002 takes us back to the source... The dark sweaty basement where your best friends are your dancefloor
neighbours, your dancing feet and fat speaker stack.
Three artists, one unified spirit that builds dynamically through the night: Russian bandleader Kito Jempere
ignites the night with ‘11pm’. Teaming up with LovvLovver, the bass player from his band, together they lay
down eight minutes of midtempo, hip-slinking hypnotic funk. Loose drums, full fat groove, it’s every bit the
consummate night-warmer it needs to be.
Onward we slink and writhe into the sweetest hours of the night; ‘3am’ duties are taken care of by exciting new
Aussie duo Donald’s House. Blazing off the back of their recent releases on Nick Hoppner’s Touch From A
Distance, their contribution marks the peak of this nocturnal trip. Big slap bass, epic cosmic leads and an
undulating bassline so fat it would make Moroder blush; this one works whatever hour you play it.
Finally we troop beyond the sunrise all the way to ‘6am’. Courtesy of Brazilian groovesmith Carrot Green, here
we find ourselves floating all the way home on a bed handcrafted by Mr Fingers himself. Timeless, soft-focus,
hopeful; the perfect soundtrack doesn’t just end the night... It leaves you wanting more.
Time to light up the dance...

Running Order:
Kito Jempere & LovvLovver - 11 P.M.
Donald's House - 3 A.M.
Carrot Green - 6 A.M.

For our love of red wines
And silky-smooth acid lines

For our love of music that makes you dance and jump,
And appreciation for an orange Donald trump

For our love of low and slow chuggers,
That’ll give you tingles in your udders

Enjoy this one, with a long black in hand,
And hopefully this time next year we’ll be stompin it up in the sand.

Dance Ideas 6

PREMIERE: Hüda - Epiphany [Beats Of No Nation]

Son Of Sound loads the chamber and pulls the trigger on appropriation in underground music and the submissive behavior that strengthens corporate, media and government control. This one is dark, unapologetic and is talking to you! ‘Smoke’ is a 120bpm grinding ode to the underground’s gate keepers. The lyrics chide - “Now, now you wanna clean up your act but you don’t hear music that’s black. You just hear music, Is that a fact?” ‘Critical Thinking’ features the lyrical acrobatics by underground DJ and producer veteran Elbee Bad (The Prince Of Dance). Elbee’s lyrics sit on top of a soulful yet dark and twisted groove made for the early mornings of the NY underground’s past. Elbee’s hook is infectious and anchors down verses that are tailored made for those confused and abandoned masses that were fed-up long before the pandemic. Yes the tracks feature his signature twisted sound of samples, synths, jazz, funk, hip-hop and house, but this one is deﬁnitely about the message. Listen to the words.

野猫 Yěmāo Tapes #01 - Romain FX - 16/11/2020

As the cracks in the wall open up in Melbourne and we get the jumper cables out to reboot, Yi Lum opens us up to the  otherside with Fair Shake 008. She flies the flag for each of us, peeling us from our devices to guide us on how to engage again. Venturing out after endless months in these four walls she peeks through the keyhole, takes a step or two outside, checks the coast is clear then breaks out at pace to burn up the bitumen. This is a tough mix, built from steel, but the tough get going and there’s hope for the future. 

At this juncture, 
The sun does not bring respite. 
The dark that we once held is not what we are left. 
Until we beat again.
