~~ interesting freaky stuff !!! Prrrrrrrrrr ~~

"Always take from the past - avoiding the empty longings of nostalgia - with a view to understanding the new place it might hold in the future. Good Morning Tapes has done just that, and with the 90’s revival in something of a full swing, the label finally gets the chance to release a pivotal 10 year old mix that didn’t just ignite a curious wave of reflection and appropriation, it marked a culmination in the shifting sonic sands for its creator Mr. Alexis Le-Tan. His name needs little light thrust upon it in these hallowed cosmic halls, with his enduring and ever present mixes being a staple for those that know. 

Back to Disco Valley is arguably his most important mix - it both recontextualised a dirty and forgotten sound of the past, and facilitated a wave of new freedoms for those wishing to look backwards in order to move forwards. Most importantly it planted the seed for everything Full Circle to come.

 Back to Disco Valley is above all else a personal reckoning for Alexis and Joakim, it marked a moment when many problems inherent in a trapped older sound - with a sublime yet dated history of its own - could breath fresh life in the present day; a new slower realm was born. The slowing down of dance music is nothing new, and certainly where peak time beats have existed a spiritual shadow that revels in a slower ethereal space to dance has never been far away. 

Stylistically on one level, Back to Disco Valley might seem to build on what Baldelli or Loda were doing many years ago, and it certainly has that effortless charm, but it goes much further, not just in its re-appraisal of the frenetic fast paced sounds of Goa, but as a signifier of where many wanted to head on the dancefloor - towards a slower oasis - incorporating new releases and modern sounding rarities along the way. Indeed, in selecting the 33rpm dial rather than that marked 45, Full Circle at once opened up the new space inside a music some of us went bananas to 30 years ago, and at the same time made sense of a crucial yet forgotten heritage; a confession became a badge of honour.

 Coming back to Full Circle and its genesis: it was only a matter of time before the old Goa records would come back down from the racks and spawn a new life, and perhaps whilst Le-Tan cemented something a lot of us knew, Back to Disco Valley somehow liberated many of those early records from their stylistic shackles initiating a creative project that - along side the collaborative work with Joakim - has released a wave of inspirational edits and re-imaginations. 

Full Circle - in all its conceptual & metaphorical majesty - really has come to represent the most stylish of takes on past sounds, both in the realm of selection and re-working. It is certainly true that Back to Disco Valley - sounding now as it did then (to the select tuned ears that got to listen) - reflects a perfect meeting between an off-tempo past, present and future, being more than a functional assemblage, it revives many a lost memory, inspiring a new batch of ideas, and always looking back with a purpose.

"Back to Disco Valley" is available on cassette via the GMT Online Store.

PREMIERE : Jokios Kultūros - Crouching Tiger (Tassilo's Vision Serpent)

Khidja continue to develop their tripped out vision with their first full EP for Hivern since 2019's 'Impossible Holiday'. In 'Something In The Water' the Romanian duo presents three new tracks that drift between genres and moods through open minded studio experimentation. “The Future Has Disappeared” and “Back To Vid” rely on contrasting sound palettes and a smart use of the stereo field to build up tension while 'Science of Ghosts' is an expansive number of galactic electro-funk. The 12” features a stripped out mystical remix by Azu Tiwaline while the digital release includes two extra oddball dancefloor cuts.

SETR008 V.Ö. 14.10.

A) TIFFY L’AMOUR - FOLLOW ME (FREY & MENQUI Glockenspiel) 
B) DIE GESUNDEN - Filmmusik (FREY & OTTER Dive)

Serious Trouble label presents a mind bending record that brings together forward thinking jams from the early 80’s into present time with reworks of Tiffy L’Amours’ „Follow Me“ and „Film Musik“ from Die Gesunden. Both received an editorial treatment by Benedikt Frey, Menqui & Philipp Otterbach. With kind allowance by the original composers this 12“ marks the editorial spirit of Serious Trouble and waves tribute to moist cellar jams.
The A-Side „Follow Me“ Rework by Frey & Menqui is a wild extension of the original which gently adds a weird drummy cowbell intro before it introduces the chanting eccentric original. That got enhanced with an extra electronic bass recording and relooped cut & phrases emphasing you to hit the bell just one more time.
On the flip side „Film Musik“ Frey & Otterbach dived into the artists main motive and layerd it with a lyra, sh101 and external drums in an 8 hour session. It respectfully keeps the spirit of the playful original. In comparison to that though they managed to built a seamless endless „escheresque" staircase to mad mountain. An Immortal Acid exploration.

DT PREMIERE: Die Gesunden - Filmmusik (Frey & Otter Dive) [Serious Trouble] (2022)

They'd forgotten the path they'd trodden - the winding streets had formed a maze they could not conquer. Retracing their steps brought them no closer to an exit; every sign looked the same, every shop painted in the same faded colours - nothing set one apart from the next. It was a beautiful purgatory that felt both safe and uncertain all at once. Maybe they didn't mind being lost, at some point they would have to be found... 

In 2020 Malka Tuti should have been celebrating five years in the game with plenty of dates and special plans in the diary. The pandemic hit and they were forced to regroup and postpone their plans until this year, now marking their seventh anniversary as a label. To commemorate the date they've rallied friends and family for a sprawling compilation, Sheva, which features never-heard-before remixes and fresh tracks carefully curated over the last two years. Encompassing the heady, psychedelic sonics we've come to associate with the Malka Tuti world, the 12-track release features music from the likes of Red Axes, Nicola Cruz, Plazmot & Xen, Decha, Khidja and Manfredas, to name but a few.

Recall

Benedikt Frey - Recall

Serenades returns with the continuation of a series of split-format releases that talk about living, working, creating and interacting with completely different people from different parts of the world.

Odopt and Dolphins have created enchanting and enigmatic pieces for different experiences - whether you're left alone with your deep thoughts or on the contrary trying not to think about anything on a full dance floor. That's the magic of music, in its monologue or dialogue with you, it can answer many of your questions.

Things were different when we started preparing this release and we couldn't imagine what the year 2022 would throw us into, but we still try to remain committed to love, peace and mutual understanding.
No war!
