An abrupt start this week with some spiky pop from the prolific Lauran Hibberd. Chloe Howl keeps it pop, before White Flowers add a dreamy twist. Things then get more electronic with The KVB (Krautrock-ish) and quirky with Primate, leading us into Masia One's dancehall interlude. Then it's funky electronic sounds from Giovanni Damico and Peter Broderick's (Techno-lite?). Some chilled guitar (and strings) from Enno Voss take us to the (almost obligatory) ambient closer, this week from Daniela Orvin. Pick of the week is White Flowers' "Glimmer": I've been a big fan of their dreamy pop sounds since I first caught them supporting Jane Weaver on tour.

'On My Skin', the second single taken from The KVB's forthcoming album 'Only Now Forever', released on Invada Records on all formats 12th October 2018.

'Daniela Orvin is a Berlin/Tel Aviv based musician and artist. She was born in Berlin and grew up in Ismaning (near Munich) and Herzliya (Israel). 
Daniela has an academic background of art and photography and after graduating, she co-founded 'd&a Gallery for Contemporary Photography' in Tel Aviv. Aside from her studies, Orvin has been playing the piano since she was six years old and since moving back to Berlin at the end of 2012, she has been concentrating on writing her own music. 

Recently she started composing for short films and also wrote music for a documentary made by polish filmmaker Kamil Markiewicz, which will premiere later this year in Berlin. For the second release on the Seasides on Postcards, we're pleased to present Daniela's debut album 'Home'. 

A prevailing theme in Daniela's various exhibitions and art projects is uprootedness as for many years she had been searching for a place she could call home. She eventually found this but not in a physical place but rather in music. The moment she was reunited with her piano four years ago, after a long break since adolescence she became overwhelmed with a feeling of returning 'home'. She realised that home does not need to be a physical place that can be touched but rather, a feeling or abstract such as music, which has no boundaries. So this aptly titled album is celebrating the discovery of her chosen home of music. 

The album begins with the lo-fi sounds of Daniela practising Bach, which is part of a daily piano practice ritual and it opens to invite the listeners into her personal space.'

PRESS RELEASE

Having been ensconced in the studio recording material for her new album ‘Far East Empress’, Singapore based Canadian Hip-hop x Dancehall star Masia One is pleased to announce details of a brand new track ‘Oh Na Na’, a Tropical Pop + Dancehall song about being in love with a Gyalis. (Gyalis is a Jamaican term for a playboy that has many lovers.)

She details the track: “Rather than songs about how someone broke your heart cause they cheated on you, I wanted to write a tune that called out the 2-timer for his bad habits and hurtful behaviour, declaring “I ain’t really about that” to the gyalis. As soon as I heard how catchy this beat was while recording at Japanese Bass crew Part2Style’s studio in the heart of Shibuya, I wanted to write more of a pop song to keep people singing along and celebrating music. I always like to work with lyrics that promote self-confidence and knowledge of self. Love can make and break us all, but sometimes you just gotta say “I ain’t really be about that”. Oh Na Na is the follow up single to Masia’s summer smash ‘Time Wastin’ and the message is empowering as the artist describes how she is not down to be disrespected, but admits toward the end of the song that she still has a soft spot or him.  The beat is produced by Tokyo Bass powered duo Part2Style, known for their signature “Future Ragga” sound. Together, Masia One and Part2Style’s Mal P and Nisi P, are the emergence of Asia’s next sound, influenced by Dancehall and Hip-hop but bringing their own unique and distinct flavour. This is a track forget all your troubles and dance to the infectious rhythm and Masia’s lyricism cleverly navigates through the tempo.

What Do Girls Want?

Please form an orderly list of appropriate answers to that question below.

Girls play sports in skirts, and boys just play ‘til they get hurt
And maybe that’s just why it works, maybe that’s just why it works Friday night in last October, you proclaimed that we were over You said my mind overloaded ya,
What a shame, what a shame, the way your screaming my name
Asking the code for my brain
He said ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’ Hunny if I knew I still wouldn’t tell you
Tell your friends it’s complicated and kelly’s just some girl you dated
You didn’t even kiss her for long, he said I didn’t even kiss her for long
Tell your parents I was lazy, I never liked the looks they gave me
You didn’t even kiss her for long, tell them you didn’t even kiss her for long
What a shame, what a shame, the way your screaming my name
Asking the code for my brain
He said ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’ Hunny if I knew I still wouldn’t tell you
But it’s not just your fault, it’s partly mine
Because I yelled at you all the time
I’m just sad you lost your spine and couldn’t look it in the eye
So you sat there and you lied and wasted two years of my life and then said
‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’ Hunny if I knew I still wouldn’t tell you

Primate - Exposed

American-born multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer Peter Broderick will release a new extended player titled Two Balloons on November 9th with Erased Tapes. Available as a limited edition 10” vinyl and digital download, it features the score for the award-winning animation of the same name, inspired by an early recording of his, plus a 9-minute electronic rework on the B-side titled Techno For Lemurs.

Fairly often we see albums of “Music inspired by the film __”, but less common is a film inspired by music. Such is the case with Two Balloons. Director Mark C. Smith got the idea for his nine-minute stop frame animation film while out at sea, looking at a majestic funnel cloud in the distance. Shortly after he heard a song by Peter Broderick from one of his earliest recordings — 4 Track Songs — and the music struck a chord so strongly, he knew he wanted to make a film to fit the melody. And so began the five-year labour of love that would eventually produce this enchanting little film, currently circulating film festivals around the world and racking up countless awards and accolades including ‘Best Original Music Score’ at the New Renaissance Film Festival in Amsterdam.

The B-side is more than just a remix that recycles the original recordings. In fact none of the original parts have been re-used. ‘Techno For Lemurs’ is a homage to the two main characters in the story, the ring-tailed lemurs Bernard and Elba. Serving as Broderick’s first foray into the world of techno, this playful piece reinterprets the melodic themes from the original score by adapting them with electronic instrumentation. In Peter’s own words: “Let’s pretend for nine minutes that we’re ring-tailed lemurs and get this party started!” 

Peter is currently on tour around Europe:

 2018
17.10. Lausanne (CH) — Le Bourg  
18.10. Lugano (CH) — FOCE 
17.11. Cobh (IE) — Sirius Arts Centre (One Hear Now)

Vinyl / CD / Digital available here: https://BBEmusic.lnk.to/MarcelVogel
BBE Music celebrates 8 glorious years of House and Disco magic from Marcel Vogel and friends with compilation album ‘Lumberjacks In Hell’.
Founded in 2010 by German DJ and producer Marcel Vogel, the ‘Lumberjacks in Hell’ label has won fans over the world thanks to its deeply rooted, timeless sound. Described by 5 Magazine as “the best Chicago dance music label not based in Chicago”, the imprint has seen legends such as Rahaan, Soulphiction, Karizma and Jamie 3:26 (whose ‘Taste Of Chicago’ compilation is coming soon on BBE) rub shoulders with virtually unknown names, ensuring that great music is always the star of the show.
Convinced he had to contribute something unique to DJ culture, Marcel Vogel began “chopping up soulful tunes” in the early 2000’s. After moving to Amsterdam in 2010, he founded ‘Lumberjacks In Hell’, initially as a conduit for his own edits and productions. Soon he found himself releasing original tracks from his musical heroes and bringing the ‘Lumberjacks’ sound to clubs and festivals all over the globe.
This compilation captures the vibe and vision of ‘Lumberjacks In Hell’, a project which, after only 8 years, has gained a seat at the top table of House music; revered by weathered veterans and fresh-faced young guns alike.
