Human Endeavour Records, an offshoot of Ransom Note Records, has announced its third release, ‘Comfort Zone’, from Geneva-based producer Reda Saiarh.

Having appeared on the label’s inaugural Various Artists release, ‘Trains Of Thought’, Reda now steps up to the plate for his first solo EP on the imprint, which showcases his fresh, forward-thinking take on Belgian New Beat.

Originally born in Brussels, and now residing in Geneva where he co-runs music and cultural bar Canal 54, Reda's music draws influence from his Belgo-Moroccan heritage and formative moments spent digging through his father’s record collection, which was heavily saturated with the iconic 80s Belgian sound.

On ‘Comfort Zone’, he approaches the traditions of the genre with a completely new twist that weaves elements of progressive trance, jackin’ 90s house and Italo disco into the mix, alongside his trusty bank of signature New Beat samples.

‘Keyboard Warriors’ gets things going. As Reda rightly reminds us, “they are terrible”, though this track is anything but. Exploring the impact social media can have on our relationships, a theme which rears its head several times across the EP, the opener throws all sorts of samples into the mix, from sports announcers to stuttering vocals and ghostly whispers, which ride an off-beat bass line, warm keys and a punchy kick.

Lead single ‘Ego Slaves’ follows, wasting no time charging out of the gate. Eerie vocals wash over fat, rumbling low end, gated drums and a twitching snare, accented by Reda’s trademark New Beat stabs.

At the halfway point Reda takes us down a more psychedelic path, but those stabs still stand their ground. Underpinned by a slap bass and soft, thudding drums, ‘Hunters’ is his soundtrack to your nocturnal quest, where you’re certain to meet howling wolves and unearthly figures along the way. ‘Tele Music’ continues on that same trance-inducing journey. It’s a deep subaquatic trip through amphibious sounds, haunting, whirring samples and plinking chords that suck you in and pull you under. 

‘I’m Not Your Friend’ rounds things off on a guttural note, literally. Reda cheekily samples a burp, which is used as a percussive guide alongside tinkling bells and tittering hats, while the track's title rings out over hopeful pads, a soaring metallic synth line and deep bass groove.

Reda Saiarh: “Comfort Zone is my space of creation, no words, only feelings and apprehensions. Each track explains a piece of my environment and experiences. I also focused on the impact of social media on today's relationship. I feel free to think, produce and share music. All combined, you get a part of myself which transmits deep interpretations. Welcome to my comfort zone, feel safe and enjoy!”

Berlin artist Katiusha kicks off her new label GRACE with ‘The Sellout’.

Over two tracks, the EP imagines sultry, meandering spaces for dancers to disappear in.

9-minute opener ‘The Sellout’ laces distorted bass pressure with slithering textures, vocals and shadowy synths. On the flip, ‘A Shark Called Nancy’ shakes up the oceanic depths with a more steamy groove and fidgety breaks.

GRACE is built for those moments where dancefloors melt into hazier spaces. After this first release, the label will pass the mic to other producers who wanna take you there!

Tracklist: 

The Sellout 
A Shark Called Nancy

PREMIERE: Katiusha - The Sellout [GRACE]

Phlox or Field Wildflowers 
Family: Polemoniaceae 
Genus: Phlox 

 Phlox (from Ancient Greek φλόξ «flame») is the flower of the Nymphs, a hymn to the field wildflowers that grow around and protect Her, the central character of the album. Every Nymph symbolises one of the eight flowers.  
1. Phlox paniculata (Флокс волотистий)
 2. Centaurea cyanus / Cornflower (Волошка синя)
 3. Bellis perennis / Daisy (Ромашка) 
4. Papaver rhoeas / Field Poppy (Мак польовий)
 5. Dianthus deltoides / Maiden Pink (Гвоздика дельтоподібна)
 6. Campanula persicifolia / Peach-leaved Bellflower (Дзвоники персиколисті) 
7. Achillea millefolium / Yarrow (Тисячолистник)
 8. Lotus corniculatus / Bird’s-foot Trefoil (Заяча конюшина)  

Poklyk Mavok / Clarion of Nymphs is the second single from the upcoming album FLORA, a metaphorical herbarium of emotions.  

Poklyk Mavok / Clarion of Nymphs is not a lullaby – it is a cry to rise. Not from sleep, but from forgetting. She had nearly returned to the water – to hibernate, to sink beneath the lilies, to silence the ache and drift into deep, unending stillness. But the nymphs called Her back. Not with gentleness – but with fire in their breath. They summoned her to walk forward with wildflowers growing in their hair, to meet Her memories like ghosts in the daylight, to carry the weight of what once was – and not let it drown Her again. Their voices are like wind and pollen, root and flame. They surround her. Guide her. Wake her. And She moves forward without turning back.

It’s that time again… Every summer Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant imprint celebrates another ground-breaking year with a far-reaching collection.

Ranging from palpitating ambience to chuggernaut technoid trips; the stirring 16 track set features late night creations from old friends (Red Axes, Zombies In Miami, Mike Simonetti, Moscoman) new friends (Simple Symmetry, Perel, Julian Stetter, ) and friends that have been Correspondant kindred spirits since day one, but have never had the opportunity to cast their magic on the label… Until now (Black Merlin, The Golden Filter, MR TC, Yula Kasp & Mi.ro).

As always, the vibe is deep, smoldering, emotive, innovative and unapologetically cosmic as we’re pushed headfirst into Correspondant’s boundary-less soundscape. From the coiled spring funk of Javi Redondo’s ‘Fictional Friendship’ to the hypnotic harmonics and trippy vocal textures of Uriah Klapter’s ‘Breeze’ via the slinky arpeggiated charm of Marvin & Guy’s ‘Cowboy Disco’, it’s another sublime excursion from one of the most consistent and considered imprints on the left side of techno.

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
