Adam Arthur is the kind of character you just couldn’t make up. I first met him while he was dancing in front of me while I played at No Way Back, back when it was at 1515 Broadway. He later asked me to come play his living room in Memphis, “I have a Funktion One sound system” he said. His friends were pretty cool so I said why not? During my set on the dance floor in this small room I saw Larry Heard and Chad White dancing. The next time I played his living room, Larry Heard came over to Adam’s the day before the party with a USB stick around his neck featuring some of his 10,000 unreleased songs, I had specially requested to hear some of his 303 songs, since he had a 303 for a few years but never released anything with it. He also played me a NYE party ad with Robert Owens improvising vocals that was so amazing I had to hear it like 10 times. Adam eventually released on Alleviated and later invited me to play a private pool party once he moved out of the city, but I couldn’t make it. He lives in rural Arkansas where he records music with his massive Buchla system, as he did for this year’s Outer Space Room part of the No Way Back stream, doing a stunning ambient performance directly after Suzanne Ciani’s set. Like I said, he’s someone you just couldn’t make up. 

His day job is putting people to sleep before life saving surgeries, which is perfect because his music lives somewhere in the states between sleeping and waking, a perfect psychedelic dream logic. His tunes like “Down Down Falling Down” are pure somnambulist groove, a uniquely bizarre form of hypnosis that drifts through the dream state into our realm and back, deeply interdimensional. The loose and dirty power of “When I Touch You” still surprises me every time I hear it, the most gentle yet powerful and compelling sleazy house song I can imagine. Many of his sides are represented here, including his experimental formless ambient side in the shape of “Tearing the Television Sky” and the digital bonus track “The Forbidden Creature”. “The Bard’s Tale” closes the EP and balances his hypnotic dream state logic with Azerbaijani Mugham music in something that feels like it would be equally at home on Livity Sound. Live the dream with his debut release on Interdimensional Transmissions.

Delsin continues to celebrate the overlooked brilliance of Simon Walley’s exquisite electronica works as CiM with a deluxe reissue of his 2000 debut album Reference. Spanning 24 beautifully crafted miniatures, this is one of the definitive overviews of Walley’s intimate, introspective electro-techno sound.

From the crunch of bit-crushed drums to dreamy, swooning pads, everything in the CiM soundworld feels positively considered and elegant. His music has attracted a devoted following from those immersed in the world of deep techno and electronica. The concise run times of his musical ideas ensures there’s not an inch of plastic wasted on elongated intros or endless repetition. That said, fitting the whole of Reference onto one disc for the original deFocus pressing was something of a squeeze, with some tracks reserved for the CD only. With this newly mastered pressing, all 24 tracks are present across two 12”s, giving Walley’s peerless sound more room to breathe.

Delsin and sister label Ann Aimee have a relationship with Walley that reaches back to the late 90s, and they picked the thread of communication up last year with timely reissues of the Service Pack and Series Two EPs. Earlier in 2021, Delsin also released Unselected ProTracker Mods, a collection of previously unreleased archival works from a furtive but undoubtedly prolific artist.

Qik / Kamila Govorčin - Mutualismos 01 [TE 001]  
Organisms interact in three fundamental ways: competition, predation, and mutualism. The last one is defined as an interaction between species that is beneficial to both.
For this series Mutualismos 01 we invite Qik from Argentina and Kamila Govorčin from Chile, as cases of different artists coming from different environments cooperating with each other. 
Each side of the record is a world of its own, but its mere presence casts light on the other, reshaping our listening and allowing a stable equilibrium to be reached.

Side A 33 1⁄3 rpm 
Qik

01. Mississippi River
02. Río de la Plata

Argentine musician with an extensive participation in multidisciplinary projects, Qik began producing electronic music in the early 2000s. The core elements of these tracks originated in a live performance during the quarantine of 2020, to be later reworked in the studio. The two laboratory-synthesized entities, however, maintain the fluidity of their original, a character that manifests in their rhythmic and synth progression. Mississippi River is inspired by a documentary about New Orleans families who lost their homes during the 2005 flood. The second track is based on typical afro-rhythms from the Río de la Plata in Argentina.

Side B 33 1⁄3 rpm
Kamila Govorčin

01. RWD 
02. T
03. 2FW

Three intimate tracks by chilean DJ and producer Kamila Govorčin that are the result of an exercise in self-knowledge through music production after a period of questioning and discomfort. According to our sensory perception, time is linear and we cannot go back to past events: every action has its cause which can't be deleted, whether we like it or not. Our mind, on the other hand, can be trained to go back in time, select events and correct whatever interferes in our present. In her journey to find inner truth, these playful explorations with rhythmic patterns, ghostly melodies and digitally-processed voices allowed Kamila to rewind her mind in order to remember, reset, truly forget and carry on.

Qik / Kamila Govorčin - Mutualismos 01 [TE001] PREVIEWS

Enter the ultraverse. The ultraverse is the dimension that you can access when you really want to. A shared universe that provides a cornucopia of delights. Shaytoon is proud to present a collection of music gathered from Iranian artists from all corners of the ultraverse. 

Aria Rostami kicks off the compilation with "Birth in the Garden Triptych", meshing cinematic undertones with a sense of urgency with beautiful and mysterious pads drenching the listener in allure. Unique and enigmatic duo Saint Abdullah provide a earth-shattering track with "Lustre Ware",  a freaky number falling somewhere between 90s east coast hip-hop and muslimgauze (except actually produced by middle easterns). Voiski takes us on a futurist technoid journey, drexciyan-esque elements and ethereal pads make you forget all your problems and then ricochet back into pure hypnosis. 

Label boss Sepehr takes the torch with "Diaspora Simulacra", a hyperreal image of his sonic mind ebbing and flowing between psychedelic drum shuffles and primal chants, perfect for a romantic evening with the void. Pupils may dilate after listening. London-via-Iran artist Kasra V takes a 90's styled approach reminscent of Prodigy with "Thousand Year Dream", expertly placing samples that play with each other in a harmonius yet jacking fashion. 

Next up, goddess Paramida serves up a dreamy and timeless slice of champagne house music with "Konbanwa (Ibiza Mix). A tune that you could equally hear as an uplifting soul churner in Panorama bar or taking a stroll through candy cotton fields right at dawn. LA based artist Maral supplies us with "Lorestan Reggae", deftly utilizing Farsi vocals and grungy drum and guitar textures to create an epic punk rock soundscape that sounds like it was recorded right before an apocalypse! 

Iran based artists Milad Ahmadi delivers an enchanting, low slung roller with a high octane edge. Temp Illusion 

Shaytoon is allied with our Afghan family who is currently violently being starved to death due to US imperialism. A portion of proceeds will go to Wellness Worldwide, a volunteer-based NGO providing healthcare & social support to vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.

Mazewski – TRANS·FOR·MATE (Brutaż–11) [EP Preview]

It’s safe to say that Steven Legget has been somewhat measured in his approach to releasing music. The Newcastle native was behind the Four Hands moniker, with releases alongside iconic industrial figures Zoviet France on Signals From The North and the classic ‘Hizou’ on Claremont 56 back at the turn of the decade.
 
Now, this Firecracker Recordings release highlights a fully realised body of work, only hinted at by the aforementioned projects. Starting life as a performance in Turkish Baths located in Newcastle upon Tyne’s City Pool, one of the last remaining civil saunas in the country, Legget has created a textured, melodic and immersive eulogy to the woozy, slow motion, drug free endorphin rush of the bath house. Pieces from this performance, alongside field recordings collected on the islands of Paxos and Loutro, South Crete are reimagined as a luscious ambient music. Accompanied by cello and electronics with real attention paid to musicality, vast and gaseous cinematic compositions are submerged beneath waves and drenched in steam and condensation.

All tracks produced by Steven Legget. Field recordings collected on the island of Paxos, and Loutro (Crete).
Tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 co-written by Laura Reid.
Tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cello performed by Laura Reid.
Track 7 co-written/produced and performed with Suade Bergemann (Sine Bass) and Mark Hand (Fender Rhodes Stage 88 Piano and Jen SX1000 synthesiser).

LP Mastered by Suade and Cut by Keith.

"All dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they may act on their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." - T.E. Lawrence (Seven Pillars of Wisdom)
