Phonica Records Special Editions in association with Play It Again Sam is delighted to present the incredible Quiet Village remix of Agnes Obel’s ‘Stretch Your Eyes’, lifted from the Danish born, Berlin based singer songwriter’s critically acclaimed 3rd studio album ‘Citizen of Glass’.

Obel was at an early age guided into music by the influence of her parents, who would play and listen to a blend of the classical greats, folk music and contemporary pop. She learnt to play piano as a child but it was her move to Berlin in 2006 that prompted her to take her music to the next level. Her debut Philharmonics was released in 2010, a quiet phenomenon that spent seven consecutive weeks at number 1 and sold in excess of 100,000 copies in her homeland alone. The release of ‘Aventine’ in 2013 cemented her status as a household name across Europe and as an icon to piano players throughout the world.

Quiet Village are the British duo of long-time record-collector and DJ Joel Martin and Matt Edwards, the house and techno producer known as Radio Slave and the head of the Rekids label. They came to our attention with a series of highly sought after twelves on the DJ Harvey-related Whatever We Want label from New York, alongside excellent remixes of The Osmonds, Toby Tobias, Black Devil Disco Club and Francois K before releasing their acclaimed album on K7 Records in 2008. After a break from using the Quite Village name, the duo are back with a bang and recently graced the Phonica White label with a fantastic techno 12” ‘Social Music’ / ‘Change’.

Needless to say, Quiet Village were the first producers Phonica thought of when looking for remixes for this project and their slow, dark, dub-heavy atmospheric groove perfectly compliments Agnes’s vocal, with echoes of Massive Attack’s timeless ‘Teardrops’ coming to mind. It’s one of the finest remixes we’ve heard in recent memory and we’re proud to present it as a limited 12” on the Special Editions label.

On October 19th Kompakt presents a new LP and audiovisual venture by Danish producer Kasper Bjørke and close cohorts. Epic and in length but always captivating, ‘The Fifty Eleven Project’ is an entirely ambient concept album, that interprets and evokes the emotional rollercoaster Kasper experienced, from his cancer diagnosis and throughout the five years of regular check-ups. The week of album release marks his second anniversary of getting the all-clear.

The base of the album was composed on vintage analogue synthesizers, reverbs, echo and sequencers – using the computer solely as a recording device – by Kasper and synth wizard Claus Norreen, in the latter’s Copenhagen studio.

The violins, violas and cellos are composed and played by the Italian composer Davide Rossi, who has also worked with Ennio Morricone, Jon Hopkins, Röyksopp, The Verve and Goldfrapp.

The piano parts are composed and played by Danish musician Jakob Littauer (of Kompakt labelmates Jatoma) on an old upright piano in a studio, and on a Steinway Grand Piano in the concert hall at the Royal Danish Music Conservatorium.

From Max Richter’s ‘SLEEP’, Hannah Peel’s ‘Mary Casio: Journey To Cassiopeia’, to much of Brian Eno’s ‘Music For Installations’, ‘The Fifty Eleven Project’ continues in a rich vein of work by contemporary composers which explores a situation/condition, and is made with functionality and healing in mind.

The visual side of ‘The Fifty Eleven Project’ is made in collaboration with the culture laboratory Prxjects and acclaimed LA based artist/filmmaker/photographer Justin Tyler Close, who has created art films for each of the album’s 11 tracks - plus one music video, including clips from all 11 films. The 11 films will be assimilated into a video exhibition at Klub in Copenhagen from 12th – 21st October. The ambition is that the installation will tour Europe and the US in 2019.

Furnished in an exquisite fabric box, this 180 gram 3LP clear vinyl box is presented by cover art created by world-renowned artist Landon Metz, further cementing the release’s multidisciplinary links to the art world.

Struppie's Early Exit

It’s basically like autumn rounds out the year instead of winter as the latter is split into two years, while December is more like a month for finishing the unfinished and preparing for New Year. Perhaps that is why we decided to publish @leichtigkeit-des-seins’ podcast with its symbolic title on the last day of November to give ourselves the chance to pause amid the hustle and bustle of the daily routine, let the music carry us away and help us reflect on what we’ve done in the past year. Besides, the last day of autumn is Friday, all the more reason to let it be…

Leichtigkeit Des Seins - "Autumn" for RAMBALKOSHE

Tunnelvisions is the joint project of two Dutch artists (Raynor de Groot and Emiel van den Dungen) who have embraced a magical, organic and totally eclectic sound and quickly made a significant impact on the electronic music scene.  One of the key acts on the hyper-creative Atomnation records label, these two friends bring a totally fresh and stimulating sound to an often cold and repetitive landscape and have done the same with their exclusive mix for FWD.DJ.

(Story continued from Witchtape #33)
After slowly waking up from a blissful sleep (which seemed to have lasted an eternity), the little witch was led to a pond by the two elder witches.  The girl was really excited when she saw that peaceful body of water, which was something she didn’t have in her own forest (it only featured a muddy swamp and a little stream but not such a cool little lake).  The witches walked cautiously side by side into the clear water.  The young novice felt the water rising up her legs, while the witches waded further and further away from the shore, until the water was at waist-height.  The water was pretty chilly but definitely not unpleasant, yet the cold sent a few shivers through her body.  The 3 women waded deeper and deeper until only their heads were above the surface.  The little witch had never swum in her whole life, yet she wasn’t the least bit afraid.  The eldest witch smiled at the young novice and took a dive into the lake, followed by the other senior witch.  The little witch hesitated for one moment, then she took a deep breath and dived into the water too.  She had never swum before, but witches know how to swim by instinct.  She soon became enchanted by the sheer beauty of the underwater world and got totally immersed into this aquamarine universe, simply enjoying the soothing feeling of water flowing over her skin, while her long brown hair got gently swept around into all kinds of directions.  After a while, she realized that she didn’t feel the urge to breathe (witches are known to be capable to stay underwater for over half an hour).  Soon the girl got accompanied by a few little fishes and also some small freshwater crabs and enjoyed their company so much, that she lost sight of the other 2 witches.  She was all alone in the water now, yet she wasn’t worried at all, just enjoying this mesmerizing submerged world full of beautiful plants and little creatures.  The little witch even became so much at ease that she relaxed every muscle of her body and it felt as if she was weightless while her body was being tossed around in slow motion by the shifting currents.  She felt a deep connection with the lake and with all the living beings around her, and in such a state of relaxation that she hardly noticed that the currents slowly dragged her deeper and deeper into the blue water, while there was still no trace of her two sisters witch.  It slowly dawned to the girl that this lake was much bigger and deeper than it had seemed when she was still looking at it from the shore…
