Horizons - Brandon McMahon (#5)

Today she'd decided enough was enough. Too much time had been wasted on unworthy people; too much brain power invested in things beyond her control. Her anger at the world was more than justified but for a as long as she could remember she'd let it consume her everyday life. There was only so much she could do, only so much she could say; sitting with the feeling of being helpless was simply an inevitability she had to deal with. It was time she vanquished her angst.

Cosmic party starters and music platform Viscera took their first steps into the label world last year with the release of their first Galactic Service Broadcasting compilation. A sophomore comp followed, continuing their journey into the 'furthest reaches of the dance-floor cosmos', and now they're gearing up for their first digital EP: a batch of low slung, psychedelic creations from Jakarta-based producer Komodo.

Guitar stabs, acid lines and dub-wise rhythms form the basis of the release, which comes complete with remixes from Club Blanco boss Chez De Milo and the inimitable Jonny Rock who brings his signature oddball touch to twist the original into a mind-expanding re-dub.

PREMIERE: Komodo - Vanquished Angst (Jonny Rock Dragon Remix) [Viscera Transmissions]

A series featuring mixes by the Hum Records crew and friends.

SHADES OF SOUND W/ JOE MORRIS - 7 DEC 22

Julian Horn is a DJ, record collector and producer now living in Vienna. He was contributing mixes to Noncollective, Growing Bin, Higher Love and more lovely blogs. He put out some records for Elevator People and Is It Balearic? labels. At the moment he’s involved in Tempo! events and is starting a new party called Club Atlantis (if you are in town on May don’t miss its party with mr Andras Fox!). Julian had put together a cool and delicate selection for us: it’s Krossfingers podcast number 22!

Krossfingers Podcast 22 - Julian Horn

A1) Ted Milton – Love Is Like A Violēnce ‎​
A2) Ted Milton – It’s Only Recently That Stalins Have Begun To Roost​

AA1) Blurt – The Ruminant Plinth​

Blurt are perhaps the act who have played live at Optimo more than any other. Active for close to 40 years they are one of the UK’s all time great acts, phenomenal live and on record and supremely underrated.

Blurt mainman Ted Milton is a living legend. Now in his 70s but more vibrant on stage than most artists 50 years his junior, he is a man of many talents; artist, poet, musician, performer….

In 1984 he released a solo 12”; “Love Is Like A Violēnce”, a no doubt accidental dancefloor gem completely out of kilter with any other music of the era that now makes total sense in 2017. Dubbed out stabs, programmed rhythm, trademark sax squeals and a more subdued than normal vocal that is strangely reminiscent of Vincent Price. Thee definition of a cult classic and much in demand, side A of this 12” presents the A and B side (the equally outre “It's Only Recently That Stalins Have Begun To Roost”) of this mighty 12” on one side of vinyl.

“The Ruminant Plinth” is but one of multiple classic tracks in the Blurt catalogue and is a long, long time personal favourite that takes pride of place of the other side. Tribal hypno rhythms, chicken wire guitar, sax and Milton’s voice on fire, this was a genuine party starter on the Optimo dance floor on Sunday nights in Glasgow. So louche it should probably be banned.

12” vinyl release in full picture sleeve designed by Glasgow artist Andrew Beltran.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on January 19th 2018. Distributed by Kompakt.

From "Laraaji's Vision Songs Live at Brilliant Corners" available now on cassette from Honest Jon's.

More details:

A live, 92-minute improvised session by Laraaji based on his 1984, Vision Songs material. Until now only fragments of Vision Songs have been released, tracks such as “All Of A Sudden” found their way into the New Age / Ambient music scene. Owing to it’s unique sound, it became an underground hit and there’s more where it came from. This crossover of New Age and Gospel Soul, led by Laraaji’s vocals – channelling meditations of new thought - is distinctive in his discography. Here, you'll find a recording capturing the spirit of a particular moment in time: of Laraaji playing Vision Songs to an intimate audience 32 years after it was first recorded in his Manhattan bedroom.

Edition of 300, includes a risograph inlay with lyrics and a photographic insert card.

The Ethno-Wave love child of collaborators Frank Harris & Maria Marquez, Echoes compiles a collection of mid 80’s to early 90’s material sound tracking two musical dreamers. Avante-pop flourishes married to the heart strings of an imagined synthetic Amazon.

Fascinated by the rapidly emerging midi electronics of the early ‘80’s, Frank was immersed in sound work for companies such as IBM and producing the likes of Diamanda Galás around the time he began collaborating with Maria.

Envisioning a tropical Sade, the music they created more often veers towards the leftfield, revelling in the embrace of Maria’s Venezuelan roots & folklore visions in combination with the exploration of Frank’s custom Synclavier synth station (the first keyboard to incorporate 16bit sampling).

Compiled here, songs such as ‘Canto Del Pílon’ and ‘Tonada de Ordeño’ resonate with a charged future/primitive electricity that mainline Maria’s song-to-a-siren vocals with Frank’s lush sonic alchemy. On ‘Echoes’ the voice becomes instrument, found sound transforms to melody, the fragile meets the sublime, old is married to new.

PREMIERE : Frank Harris & Maria Marquez - Loveroom

The river roared as the water cascaded rapidly down the mountain side, in the midst of the jungle the rain could be heard pattering against the leafy ceiling. A storm was coming, a thunderous beast which might bring struggle and strife to the people of the region. It was as if someone were banging a great drum in the sky, an echoing reverb with a weighty clap and the boom of heat. It was an Amazon dub, a rumbling power with the ability to bring ruin and  chaos. All the animals looked for shelter from the roaring storm in the bitter hope that they might see the glow of daylight once more...

General P.D.C is the monniker of HLM38, he returns with a dub infused beast for French label Notte Brigante alongside a deep, exotic remix from the Beesmunt Soundsystem guys.

The EP is an intriguing venture through rugged slow moving electronics with a punkish edge.

PREMIERE: General P.D.C - Amazon Dub [Notte Brigante]

Used to unexpected releases, from collected works of legends Orlando Voorn or Frankie Bones to a brilliant compilation of worldwide soothing sounds for babies, Musique Pour La Danse is today releasing Coil’s unreleased soundtrack for a VHS only, pre-internet sexual education documentary entitled ‘The Gay Man’s Guide To Safer Sex’, released in 1992. This balearic smooth house rare repress also features some reworks from the original masters. Brilliant new addition on Mental Groove’s sub-label run by Olivier Ducret and Ed Isar.

BIS043 - Anatolian Weapons feat. Seirios Savvaidis - "Ofiodaimon (Tolouse Low Trax vs Anatolian Weapons Remix)"

Pick it up here: http://smarturl.it/bis043

Anatolian Weapons returns with an EP of brand new remixes following June 2019’s debut To The Mother of Gods with Seirios Savviadis.

Featuring new takes on key album track “Ofiodaimon” by Tolouse Low Trax, Mr TC and Mekine U Teksi - as well as an instrumental dub take by Anatolian Weapons - the remix collection further opens the third eye that the album’s rapturous Levantine grooves first channeled.

The EP unfolds a with a collaboration between Germany’s seasoned Tolouse Low Trax and Anatolian Weapons, a cyclic, languorous mid-tempo stomp that hones in on microscopic elements of the original, swirling and constant in its drive, falling deep into the Kraut-fantasies that the album version flirts with and beckoned by the vocals of Savvaidis like calls from beyond.

Amplio Espectro is a Buenos Aires-based label curated by Carolina Stegmayer and Ismael Pinkler, whose entanglement of their names and personal/professional lives gave birth to the duo Carisma. They successfully amassed a true international dream team of collaborators for their forthcoming release: Cornelius Doctor (France), Andrea Paz (Chile), Bryan Kessler (Germany), Aristidez (Peru), Kodemul (Mexico) and Kamila Govorcin (Chile), each one of them taking us on a remix trip adding their hyper-personal touches to two Carisma's tracks: “En tus Sueños” and “Fracciones”.

The track we chose to premiere brings Aristidez delivering a trippy and groovy interpretation of “Fracciones”. The Peruvian artist, who rocked the world with his 2018 release on the almighty Calypso Records, flirts this time with percussive breakbeats and melodic synth layers, providing a cosmic atmosphere, but with his traditional Latin sonority. The result: A curious concoction that enriches the release of the charismatic Argentinian duo.

Special credits to Ismael Pinkler for the mastering and Agustín Ceretti for the artwork.
