Freedom

This is not really gamelan.

However, I do play and perform gamelan in my spare time and having had a show this last weekend I've been rehearsing a lot recently. Some of the parts I've had to learn have been pretty complex. So what I've done is written them into Ableton, in MIDI form so that I can hear what they're meant to sound like so I can copy the parts / patterns and so on and get them right. It's been pretty useful actually. There's one piece that I'd be really struggling with if I didn't have Ableton "teaching" me…but after I'd programmed it in it made a lot more sense.

This is the result of one such trial. Only some of the parts are as they should be…others are tweaked slightly (i.e. bonang parts rhythmically altered)...or completely made up (the bassline for starters.....although it is inspired by another rhythmic part). But the piece does show the type of tempo changes and interlocking parts that feature prominently in gamelan. Here it sounds like 90s trance or something Chris & Cosey would have done :)

„La Llanura is the debut EP of Jacobo Polania aka Mente Orgánica - a young genius producer from Bogotá, Colombia. He founded his project in 2017 with the vision of „creating a ritual of introspection and union with the universe.“ His productions alchemize organic sounds with electronic elements to take the listener on a deep reflective journey within.

The EP features soothing Downtempo tracks -3 original productions and 3 remixes - inviting to an intimite,comtemplative and emotional listening / dancing experience.

Moon Diagrams - The Ghost & The Host (Komodo Kolektif Altered Reality Mix)

Very proud to showcase yet another Glasgow-based artist for our second Invisible Inc digital-only release.

As with its predecessor by The Mamba, these releases aim to pack a slightly harder punch than the more psychedelic / cosmic outings the vinyl label is known for.

This time around it's Krokakai aka Kyle Webster at the controls. Some of you may remember Krokakai from our INVINC 17 Cassette compilation in late 2017. 

Ranging from tribal sci-fi rave to new wave electro and then powering onwards to almost industrial sounding slo-mo techno, the machines under Krokakai's control are perfectly tuned for Invisible Inc.'s dark side.

The EP features an amazing extended version of Ardu 1009 which appeared on INVINC 17-CAS that adds an entirely new breakdown complete with distorted (and deranged) saxophone thanks to Jude Thomson that definitely takes the track further than we could have imagined.

However, taking pride of place in pole position is the tribal sci-fi mantra Bodhran Beat: a spoken-word, bleep fuelled, drum-filled odyssey into rhythm and sound that's already been getting praise and plays from Manfredas, Mr TC and Alicia Carrera (Hivern Discs).

The two tracks are complimented on their respective sides by the new wave/synth pop of Mutual Reaction on side A and the hypno-gothic industrial throb of Awaken on the B

Burning Pleasures EP

INVINC DD 02 Krokakai -  Burning Pleasures EP (samples)OUT 22 APRIL 2019

At long last Komodo Kolektif have brought us the long-awaited follow-up to their outstanding 2017 EP “Sumantras”. 

With “Sundada” we see the group delve even deeper into hypnotic territory with a stronger focus on their Indonesian gamelan instruments, wall-shaking basslines and trance-inducing percussion. A dual focus on tribal primitivism in parallel with a futuristic vision of the possibilities provided by their vast arsenal of electronic gear and processors, the overall outcome has produced something well beyond 'world music' that is as darkly profound as it is unique.

Again aided by veteran Seattle-born multi-instrumentalist Jon Keliehor (James Brown, The Doors, Peter Murphy/Bauhaus, The Daily Flash, Emotional Response, Optimo Music) on suling (Indonesian flute) and percussion, Komodo Kolektif seem to have explored even more meditative and profoundly esoteric avenues than they did with “Sumantras”. 

Much of the material is a refinement and distillation of what has been featured in their live shows for almost a year and a half and which has been met with rapturous applause at the likes of Convenanza festival in France to Sonic Cathedral & Ulrich Schnauss' Ambience Chasers in London. 

Other pieces are the result of improvisations; experimenting with the Indonesian sarons, gendèrs and kempul on loan from Gamelan Naga Mas, a gamelan ensemble of which two of the group are long term members, to create new patterns that resonate to both eastern and western ears. 

Komodo Kolektif have received praise and plays from Hardy Fox (The Residents), JD Twitch (Optimo), Andrew Weatherall, Peter Power (Multi Culti / Voodoohop), Mark van de Maat (Knekelhuis) and many more. 

There will also be a limited run of Komodo Kolektif t-shirts exclusively available through the label bandcamp either individually or as part of a bundle with the LP:
