VA Lipelis & Andy Butler, Eternal Love, Yu Su, Benedek - Itria Vol. 2

The platform stretched far into the distance, the concrete only partially lit by the dim glow of the lamps. A handful of people dotted along its expanse, all waiting patiently for the train to arrive. Just a few minutes before midnight the chugging engine could be heard nearing the station; at exactly midnight it pulled in. In 70 years it had never been late. The passengers climbed aboard in silence, and with a blow of the whistle they sailed off into the darkness.

Orange Tree Edits are known purveyors of quality reworks. Since their beginnings five years ago, founder Jimmy Rouge and a stellar cast of fellow edit masters, including Jonny Rock, Moving Still, Hysteric and Good Block, have breathed new life into old finds and forgotten gems. Musically it ranges, but generally it's made with either the intent of getting your feet moving or soundtracking time spent lounging at home. There's Afro, disco, Balearic, new wave and synth-pop, which are some of the sonics that head honcho Jimmy gets stuck into on his return to the label after three years.

Ahead of their Love Without Illusion album, Pleasure Pool release the title track as a digital single along with a dub version which is exclusive to this release. Love Without Illusion is a highlight of any Pleasure Pool live sets and while it is not a cover version, it does channel the vibrations of Imagination’s classic 80’s hit Just An Illusion. 100% hypno deepness for both club and non club use.

OM LP 24 S1 - Pleasure Pool - Love Without Illusion / Dub Without Illusion

Hailing from the same collective (Alter Disco) that brought us the queen Barbara Boing, Phil Mill is another nugget from Curitiba's electronic scene. With several hours under his belt as DJ playing in great parties including Dekamantel and us, Phil is a name to watch.

"Carta Cósmica" (Cosmic Letter) is the name of the EP that brings Mill's art to us and these tracks channels the inspiration coming from coincidences, randomness and events that incite us to think that there is something else that hovers upon us, things that we can't see with a naked eye. The "cosmic letter" is the message from the universe, the one we receive from time to time, and directs us to one of the infinite possible lives in this astral plane. Electro, dream house, dub and ambient are the references that tune and place these songs in their orbits, gradually rarefied and depressurized

We love the smell of a killer EP in the morning.

Phil Mill - The Glow (West Mix)

Following the partnership between Altrimenti and Quindi for a suite of remixes of Cabaret du Ciel, the two Italian labels collaborate once again to explore three vivid versions of tracks from Woo’s exquisite album "Paradise In Pimlico". 
The verdant, delicate musicality of Woo’s original material offers an abundance of riches for remixers, and the results are true to Altrimenti’s stated purpose to explore and experiment in the fusion of different approaches to electronic music.
On the A side, Joseph Tagliabue offers up a snaking, psychedelically charged
dancefloor vision of ‘Cadenza d’Innocenza’. Milan-based Tagliabue has developed a potent sonic signature across releases for labels like Invisible Inc. and Sound Metaphors before starting his own Blue Sea Studio as an outlet for his expanding work into the field of contemporary soundtracks. That cinematic sensibility comes through in waves on this subtly trance-licked epic - a soaring set piece for the most dramatic of party situations.
On the B side, Leeway opens proceedings with his remix of ‘Even More Notes’. As the founder of Wain Records and the Scram club night, the London-based producer is fostering a culture of leftfield dance music with an organic sensibility. On his interpretation of Woo, he offers up a more experimental, dub-informed strain of 4/4 club rhythms.
Completing the set, Other Lands & Linkwood join forces for their approach to ‘Gold Star’. Other Lands is also known as Fudge Fingas, and alongside Linkwood he helped shape the warm, deeply rooted house sound of seminal label Firecracker Recordings. The duo’s affinity for soulful musicianship and the disco roots of house music comes through in this spiralling, hazy rendition perfectly pitched at moments when a softer, more spiritual approach is needed without losing the guidance of an insistent groove.
Once again the overarching theme on this collection of remixes remains quality - a pursuit of meaningful expression, originality and open-hearted musicality. From the source material to the resulting remixes, the pursuit was a successful one

Presenting Belfast’s Black Bones. 

Born out of a shared obsession for crate digging, collecting, and the playing of weird and wonderful music, their releases so far have manifested in a highly-sought series of psychedelic disco 12”s. 

OMDD presents their first ever digital release fusing the sounds of early 1980s Downtown New York with 21st Century beats and massive Dub DNA injections. 

They say: "No longer in our Belfast studio, wedged between the everyday mundane. We are in the ‘down town’ New York bar that lives inside our mind. Gathered with people of the night, getting drunk and getting high, anything feels possible, yet all in good time. 

Drums roll, the bartender cranks the volume up, as the sax begins to play. Time pointing towards morning, yet people want to stay. 

Faces change as wonder sets, as to where their night has gone. Yet we play anything we want because it’s almost dawn. Introducing familiar sounds that mutate into something new. As always, Sherwood never far from thought, some pressure, just for you!"

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on June 16th 2023.

OMDD 50 - Black Bones - All In Good Time EP

C-thru - The Otherworld is a collection of introspective cosmic-leaning dance music that gives a healthy nod to the golden era of trance, ambient, and down-tempo from Austin, Texas based producer Jesse Edwards. 

Inactive for several years, these 10 tracks mark a new chapter for Jesse Edwards. Previous works include his well received psychedelic project, Red Morning Chorus, that included Boards of Canada amongst its fans. 

Edwards began his musical journey in the late 90s playing shoegaze and experimental music with Jessica Bailiff (Kranky). The pair collaborated on several albums together including works with Flying Saucer Attack, His Name is Alive, & Odd Nosdam (Anticon).

Invisible Inc is proud to present another unique and remarkable release, this time diving even further into ambient, spiritual and folk-infused psychedelia. 

“Mondo Organico”, as the name suggests, is a concept compilation that captures the “organic” side of the label. The use of non-electronic instrumentation is a familiar theme explored previously with the likes of Komodo Kolektif, Immaculate Rivombo and Peter Power...but this time the instruments and voices, tranquil and meditatively hypnotic in places, display an even deeper spirituality. 

Featuring the talents of Andi Otto and his fello (electronic cello), Anna vs June's ethereal vocals, Tyler Ov Gaia's zoned-out mantra rhythms, Pieter Kock's 8-minute bass and guitar psych odyssey, as well as label favourites Sordid Sound System and Puma & The Dolphin, the record is enthralling and mesmerizing from start to finish. You will want to flip it over when you reach the end...and start all over again.

Super Sound Global emerge on the horizon with their very first release: "Slow Cuts" - a compilation of seven sample-soaked tracks that draw heavy inspiration from the world of 90s euro hip hop and street soul.

Side A features four balearic-infused boom bap beats produced during sweaty afternoons on dusty synths and drum machines in a bedroom studio last summer.

The B side holds two additional tracks by Berlin-based producer BSP, sounding like from a chillout CD your parents were listening to while driving around in a rental car on mediterranean holiday.

Stockholm´s DJ Picasso edit-action of an old disco 7" from 76.

Dance Your Troubles Away ( DJ Picasso Edit )

Projection - Heart & Soul (1989) 🇬🇧

A sultry, proto-house number with lyrics reminiscent of early 80s boogie, and a rhythm section conjuring that golden 90s aesthetic.

This is the lead track from a small compilation of edits of tracks we discovered over the summer. 

When the recent conflict broke out between Israel & Gaza, we felt uncomfortable promoting some random edits we made from the safety of our bedrooms when so many people are suffering.

All proceeds from the sale of these edits will go to Save the Children Gaza and to Save the Children Ukraine, who are operating to help those most at need during these tough times.

Please enjoy...
