Marie Wilhelmine Anders - Frozen Music (Album) [brq148]

Here I delved deep into the background and the genesis of each individual track of the album:

Marie Wilhelmine Anders’ new, multi-genre concept album “Frozen Music” follows up on her albums “Travels” (Broque) and “She’s Leaving” (Noisy Meditation). Being her fifth album, which refers to the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, "Frozen Music" also evolves around another main source if inspiration that is drum ’n’ bass: Sunchase (who mastered „Frozen Music“ superbly), dBridge, Calibre, Krust, Goldie (Mother!), Optical, T.Power, LTJ Bukem, Banaczech, are just a few of her main influences. While searching for the connecting elements between the poem template from the late 19th century and the time when d’n’b was created 100 years later, she found the sound of the foghorn, invented in the year Stevenson was born. The foghorn was first installed in Jamaican sound systems in the 1950s, and it created an unexpected power in the bass range, and from there found its way into the raves and d’n’b productions of the children of the "Windrush" generation in the UK. The second connecting element Marie found was the music of Claude Debussy: his "liquid works" (David Toop) - influenced by the music of Java, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan - in turn influenced the later generation of ambient music producers. The chord progressions from his "Prelude" from "Pour Le Piano" reappear in a stretched and filtered form in Marie’s ambient intro track "Prelude" and in a few other places in "Frozen Music“. The nine tracks of "Frozen Music" find their very own form in the atmospheric recreation of the pictorial language of Stevenson's poem "Evensong" and in its relationship to some of the most fascinating genres in electronic music. Being a classically trained composer Marie juxtaposes ambient, breaks, d’n’b and techno. She approaches the boundaries of genres with a kind of innocence, always listening to the connections between the different styles. In “Frozen Music” she picks up on these connections. This works so well because the musical forms often don't adhere to what you would deem traditional structure. Dynamic quality, form, sound design and, last but not least, the mix of her music are all the more carefully coordinated and result in a catchy flow that makes „Frozen Music“ another masterpiece, that not only brings food for thought, but, most importantly, transports the grooving d’n’b sound of the 90’s onto the contemporary stage.

HOUSE Mix by DJ:Yuichi Saito

Les gens qui voient de travers
Pensent que les bancs verts
Qu'on voit sur les trottoirs
Sont faits pour les impotents ou les ventripotents
Mais c'est une absurdité
Car à la vérité
Ils sont là c'est notoire
Pour accueillir quelque temps les amours débutants

Les amoureux qui se bécotent sur les bancs publics, bancs publics
, bancs publics, En
se fouettant pas mal du regard oblique Des
passants honnêtes 'aime" pathétiques Ont des petites gueule bien sympathiques. Ilse tientent par la main Parlent du lendemain

You papier bleu d'azur
Que revêtiront les murs de leur chambre à coucher.
Ils se voient déjà doucement
Elle cousant, lui fumant,
Dans un bien-être sur
Et choisissant les prénoms de leur premier bébé

Les amoureux qui se bécotent sur les bancs publics,
bancs publics, bancs publics,
En se fouettant pas mal du regard oblique
Des Passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui se becotent sur les bancs publics,
bancs publics, bancs publics,
En se disant des "Je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des petites gueule bien sympathiques.

Quand la sainte famille machin
Croise sur son chemin
Deux de ces malappris
Elle leur décoche en passant des propos venimeux
N'empêche que toute la famille
Le père la mère la fille
Le fils le saint esprit
Voudrait bien de temps en temps pouvoir se conduire comme eux.

Les amoureux qui se bécotent sur les bancs publics, bancs publics
, bancs publics, En
se fouettant pas mal du regard oblique Des
passants honnêtes 'aime" pathétiques Ont des petites gueule bien sympathiques. Quand les mois auront passé Quand seront apaisés Leurs beaux rêves flambants Quand leur ciel se couvrira de gros nuages ​​lourds Ils s'apercevront émus Que c'est au hasard des rues


Sur un de ces fameux bancs
Qu'ils ont vécu le meilleur morceau de leur amour.

Les amoureux qui se bécotent sur les bancs publics, bancs publics
, bancs publics, En
se fouettant pas mal du regard oblique Des
passants honnêtes 'aime" pathétiques Ont des petites gueule bien sympathiques.

Friend - Psymedia | Under The African Sky

Ich habe ein bisschen mit Saskia von Technotopia u.a. über sndoflpzg, Veränderungen in der Artist- & Clubszene durch Social Media geplaudert und wie Algorithmen der Soz. Netzwerke funktionieren, noch ein paar "essential tracks" inkl. Anekdoten von früher dazu mitgebracht sowie natürlich auch über die neue 🌐 Website- & das🤖 Chatbot-Release geredet. Es ist diesmal sehr umfangreich und geht auch etwas tiefer.

Technotopia invites Sound of Leipzig [14.11.2020]

Friend is the DJ project of Dominic Irla from Cape Town, South Africa where he spent his early years as a dedicated promoter in the thriving festival circuit (founder of Psymedia @psymedia in 2010).

In 2018 he travelled to South East Asia and established himself as a formidable DJ and promoter in Hanoi, Vietnam. From sandy beaches down south and mystical mountains up north, to reputable promoters such as Savage, Birdcage, Studio Adventure, Defused Mood, Electric Bazaar and We Groove; Friend played at various clubs, festivals and tropical jungle raves across the country.

At the dawn of the covid outbreak, friend co-founded the Vietnam-based record label Magic Box Engine @magicboxengine; pushing out eclectic releases, guest mixes, events and art. Always challenging each other to think outside of the box and make something magical while the world was facing some dark, troubling and uncertain times - friend and his label partner Dane @daneswurld curated some incredible releases and guest DJ mixes from talented around around SE Asia and became known for their conceptual “This is” events and wild MBE after-parties in unique locations within the underground music scene of Hanoi.

By the end of 2021 friend marked the end of his Vietnam chapter and returned to Cape Town as an independent artist. Since his resurgence on home soil - he’s featured regularly on lineups at the mighty Mødular precinct; for Destination Saturn, Killer Robot and the SBCLTR Collective.

Friend's notable festival gigs in South Africa so far include Origin Festival, Into The Wild, Organik Love Project, Tribal Groove, H20 NYE, Bazique Festival, AfrikaBurn, Psymedia UTAS, WithYou, Mantra Music Festival and Alien Safari x Vortex Little Forest NYE.

Whether it’s downtempo, house, minimal, techno, electro, or breakbeats - Friend is a true digger who’s never afraid to switch up the tempo or genre. Heavily inspired by his nomadic travels in SE Asia, Latin America and Europe; he taps into a sonic world without borders and delivers obscure yet tasteful sets for any time of day or night. Signature sounds  riddled with groovy basslines, hypnotic atmospheres, and psychedelic undertones.
