Happy to present to you: the debut release of interdisciplinary, Korean artist Minju Oh. Studying at the HfG in Offenbach Minju’s approach to making music is always one that is strongly influenced by a second visual layer. The artist herself describes the 6 tracks on this tape as: “a lighthouse to the universe”. Cosmic disco, rough Chicago house, breaks and atmospheric, computer game influenced sounds can all be found within. Enjoy ***.

For this episode, Do not call the doctor is going to be a special one. In June I had the pleasure to attend, alongside Virgil, The Secret Garden's year anniversary party. 
A bookshop based in Timisoara, Romania, that sells and promotes books, magazines, DIY publications, photo-zines, illustrations, comic books, prints, ceramics and much much more.
They mostly try to support the not so common things and stimulate your interest in out of the box content.
For their anniversary me and Virgil planned an unplanned back to back set that came out better than we expected. 
All of this was influenced by the lovely people that attended, a lot of gigantic mosquitoes, some vegan salty cake and many shaky drinks. Enjoy!

Rogue Planet is about feeling like an “other,” like a planet ejected by its host planetary system. It is a personal journey encapsulating Shamanta’s South Asian roots and influences. Visuals are by internationally-known artist & muse Rajni Perera, “a painter and sculptor known for exploring how power works through the imagery of science fiction.” The album reflects Shamanta’s early life experience as a South Asian immigrant who has journeyed from the Middle East to North America, living in several different cities along the way. Adapting spiritual influences of the past, it seeks to preserve cultural relics in a future unknown. It features her 90-year-old aunt’s Indian Carnatic vocals along with hers, connecting the generational gap.
WeTurnToRed (a.k.a. Shamanta Chandran) is a Syrian-born Tamil-Canadian producer/DJ/ singer/songwriter and scientist based in Toronto. Growing up on the city’s outskirts, she studied and classically trained in opera and jazz as an arts high school kid. Her deep love for electronic music was ignited after her older brother introduced her to the mid-90s Toronto rave scene.
After experimenting in the studio for over a decade, delving into melodic nuances of modular and analog synths, it was clear that growling basslines and haunting melodies were the subjects of her affection. She made her mark in Toronto’s electronic music scene through live hardware deep house/techno-focused sets. As a DJ, she is a quality selector of many genres—everything from hip-hop, reggae, house, techno, and what’s in between.
Some notable music releases include Planet E Detroit Love-Vol 5, MSTRKRFT’s ORO Records, and Cosmic Resonance (Toronto). Her debut EP, “Smoked Glass” on PITS (Detroit), garnered acclaim, leading to features on Stamp the Wax and Rinse France to name a few.
As a South Asian woman in the electronic modular space, WeTurnToRed is an artist to look out for.

PREMIERE | WeTurnToRed - Deeper High [Cosmic Resonance] 2023

She was dancing all alone, the room was crowded but it were as if she was the only ethereal creature of note. For everyone else was not there really, at least not in the same way as she was. She was really there. An eternal body which moved and weaved between the walls long after everyone had left the club. It was as if her very spirit lived within the brickwork which made this house a home. Perhaps that is what it was, her home.

Wendy was her name but it could be anything to anyone given the time of day. For she was all things to all people - a happy smile, a guilty conscience, a careless whisper, a slow dance, a wild romance. She was a moment in time - a vision in the midst of the night only to be forgotten as the sun rose. She was everyone's ghost...

Çâline With C is set to release new music on Electrifying Impact - a raucous EBM infused record destined to bang in the small dark rooms for which it was intended for. Intricate and heavy at the same time, this one will do just fine on the floor.

Tokyo-based producer and @diskotopia label co-founder Matt Lyne lines up his fifth solo album as @atautline consisting of 12 sonic ranging signatures, effortlessly voyaging through beat laden downtempo, trip-hop, IDM, bass, balearic rifts and sultry deep house.

Never Any Gain

A Taut Line - Neutral Buoyancy [Diskotopia]

Funk The System! The recipe is simple: Dig deep, listen to your heart, record everything you got on a dusty old desktop computer, leave it to simmer for the time of a pandemic, and if it’s still fresh, serve it up on the finest plate of black wax!

This collaboration started in Düsseldorf in the year 2018. Locked up for a week in the Flanger Studios, Wolf Müller and Credit 00 recorded everything: from the jaw harp to smartphone apps, chopping up GDR Jazz breaks and squeezing the Funk out of every synthesizer and drum machine at hand.

You will hear the open mindedness towards all sorts of musical influences from the first note. Each of the five tracks showcases a wild mix of flavours: Disco Reggae, B-Girl Breakbeats, Protest Folk, Subway Funk, Tabla Rhythms, you name it... they’ll take it and shake it! It is obvious these two got sonically socialized and educated by the multiculturalism of Hip-Hop in their early days.

After the first Recording Session, the tracks fermented for some time until they were cracked open again. This time in Leipzig at Credit 00’s Westend Workshop. That’s also where Rizmi from Birmingham joined the team and lent her voice to the title track. She reinterpreted the lyrics of the obscure German 1980s Workers’ Rock Song, that Wolf digged out for the Intro Skit of „Funk The System“.

A long time in the making, Rat Life is very happy to finally publish this EP!

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.
