Free Shelter Edits #10

Facets brings the release in with a dark, EBM:ish edit of Der whilst Manao then moves us over to a grittier, ghettotech:ish electro piece with Jane. From there we have recurring face for many, RFX, who does his usual brilliance on his take of Ambition. Our third and final new face, Ecar, then takes the relay baton and keeps the race going with Propaganda. Both tracks work in the sphere of where you want to kickstart the party to the next gear. We round off with our home team trio, where Miro-Benji and Stuster show their heavier, 4am sounds on Sonic 3D (yes… that Sonic) and Universal Music. Aaron Maple then puts the finishing touches with his signature sound on his Hot Day In Istanbul edit.

Ambition (RFX Edit)

Cosmic Tiger present the first in a series of various artist compilations designed to shine a light on far-flung musical scenes while raising money for good causes. Kicking things off close to home in our Asian base, 'Messages Volume One' welcomes a varied lineup of creators from disparate musical backgrounds – including revered masters of the craft alongside irresistibly emerging talent. The sounds may differ in style and tone, but what unites each of the artists involved is the sincerity of their respective approaches to making music, and the indefinable magic embedded in their sounds.
From Japan to Korea, Thailand to Indonesia, Singapore to Hong Kong: the far-reaching compilation takes in original compositions featuring blissful Balearic wonder, life-affirming disco, late-night house, seductive neo-soul, and a good deal more as it glides through the 
evolving skies of the vast Asian continent.
While shining a light on the effervescent talent that exists in Asia's growing underground community, we felt a strong desire to spread some positivity. We wanted to do what we could to help some of those whose lives have been thrown into turmoil by the bizarre times we're all currently living through. All profits generated from sales will be split between Bangkok Community Help Foundation and The Sweet Potato Project – charities based in Thailand and Indonesia respectively that are helping to support those who have been worst affected by pandemic enforced lockdowns. It's worth noting, too, that musicians and performing artists were among the first to see their 
incomes diminished by the worldwide closure of venues, festivals and events, and in many cases are among the last to be able to return to work. With that in mind, the generosity of the contributing artists here is even more profound, as each of them has seen their livelihoods dented by ongoing venue closures and performance restrictions. This is our attempt to pour some love into the world via music and collaboration. This is our message, and these are sounds plucked directly from the vibrant Asian underground.

Nick J. Smith drops his debut EP under the Lone Saxon name with 4 original cuts designed for the dance floor and multiple feels. Heavily influenced by his love of the early 90's ethereal Italian Dream House/Rimini sound. Joining the dots between the Italian house train parties and northern warehouses, creating an emotive sound of dance floors lost for present day hedonism.

A new figure sashays their way into Bordello. In one hand, a bouquet of carnations, in the other a 12” record. Lauer. Philipp Lauer. Known for his incredible productions on labels like Running Back and Permanent Vacation, not to mention his collaborations, the German all around good guy delivers four gems. The title piece radiates warmth, clean drum patterns giving way to beaming synth bars with vocoder lyrics bopping to the bass. Light hi-hats and a wet snare are the fertile ground from which choral key shifts break to squelching acid in this addictively diverse work. The energy levels spike, like a cork spearing its way from a champagne bottle, for the unbridled enthusiasm of “Frizzante”. Piano stabs, pulsating percussion and an infectious groove. The Summer sun may have set, but Lauer is still at the “Playa” with his playful finale. An off-kilter melody ebbs and flows on a string of rhythms, dreamy tongue-in cheek synth play sailing this 12” off to the horizon.

Jean-Pierre Mader - Rêver Plus Beau (Tucan Discos Edit)

Luz contra trevas, é guerra todo dia,
Mas eu carrego o céu na batida.
Nada me abala Cristo é minha base!

Me vi perdido, mas Ele me achou,
Quando o medo falou, foi a fé que gritou.
Carrego cicatriz, mas não carrego dor,
Tô vivo, é prova do Seu amor.

No meio da fumaça, vejo o sinal,
O fogo purifica, não é final.
A dor me ensinou a ser leal,
E a cruz me fez imortal!

Tenta me parar, mas tô de joelho,
No secreto, o céu é espelho.
Deus me levantou do chão,
Agora é luz em meio ao trovão! 

Eu não desisto, sou inabalável,
Cristo é firme, inquebrável! 
No meio da guerra, eu tô de pé,
Porque quem me guia é YESHUA

(ye, ye, yeshua...)
O grave bate e o céu responde,
Fé não é sorte, é o que me move!
(yeah, yeah, yeah...)
Se o mundo desaba, eu não paro,
Com Deus do meu lado, eu declaro:
INABALÁVEL! 


Tô marchando com a luz nas ruas,
Anjos comigo, tropa nas alturas.
Enquanto o caos tenta me cercar,
Meu escudo é orar e amar.

Vejo a mentira no disfarce,
Mas o Espírito revela a verdade.
O inimigo grita, mas não me alcança,
Quem tem Cristo vive em aliança!

Mesmo no fogo, não corro.
Mesmo no vale, não morro.
O céu grita o meu nome,
O Rei me chama pra vencer de novo!

Eu não desisto, sou inabalável,
Cristo é firme, inquebrável! (ye, ye)
No meio da guerra, eu tô de pé,
Porque quem me guia é YESHUA

Treme a terra, mas o céu sustenta,
Fé é arma, mente atenta!

Nada me abala, nada me para,
Cristo é minha base — e o som dispara

Woi (Running Hot Edit)- Bonus Track

“When the driver reaches ultimate speed, he realised the world as he knew it was morphing. The array of beams and city lights became waves of spectrum entering the quantum realms. The sizzling frequencies became rhythmic melodies and his body started to get lighter and lighter until he reached 0 gravity. This anamorphic world he entered was called The Drive.”
 
Entering the remix world for the first time, at Fauve Records, it was important to create a panoply of genres. We thoroughly selected 4 remixers for The Drive [Re-Mix] EP. 
 
On duty first is Lauer (Running Back) from Germany who needs no introduction. To our eyes, his recognisable touch was perfectly fitted for the title track “The Drive”, nostalgia was the approach, long build-ups bringing you into a melancholic trance.
 
Number two is our long time favourite local Hong Kong producer who also needs no introduction, Mr Ho (Klasse Wrecks). His approach of “Ke Ai” is a murky old school raw beat goodness, using short snippets of the original to re-create a club heater that will guarantee sweaty walls in warehouses.
 
We’re not done with you yet, our third guest, two fellas from L.A. known as Warehouse Project Society that recently released on DJ Harvey’s Mercury Rising. This duo has been on our radar for quite some time and we knew they would reinterpret “Fray” perfectly. Long and behold, mesmerising atmospheres, dub grooves and a specific dark touch that can only be perfectly executed by these maestros.
 
Last but not least, our up and coming favourite young Singaporean producer Bongomann (Darker Than Wax). We highly recommend following this little chap. His signature style being airy house breaks, he was the best bloke to remix “Air House”. His soft broken beat 90’s feel englobes the whole track lifting you up on a little cloud all the way. 
 
We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts every one involved in this release as it holds a special place in our story as our first Remix EP.
 
We hope you enjoy the tracks as much as we enjoyed putting this little puppy together.
 
Fauve Society
