Rude Audio BIG HEAT mix Spring 2022

Panoram’s „vivid and eccentric new album“ (based on Philip Sherburne via Pitchfork) gets the remix treatment by Quiet Village and Luca Lozano. A cornucopia of possibilities, aural delicacies and pulsating sounds, Acrobatic Thoughts would be a rewarding task for any remixer and is a real gift for the relevant guests.
	
Matt Edwards’ and Joel Martin’s Quiet Village project can’t be beat when it comes to meandering, prolix and cinemascope-styled tracks and remixes (see their Allez Allez African Queen one for further notice). Thus, their version of „Seabrain“ is a 11 minute long interpretation. Propelled by ocean travel transmissions, deep sea fantasies, sonar tones and a bubbling bass line, it’s the finest piece of submarine house and feels like a long lost cousin to Link’s Amenity (we take a bow). Addictive and refreshing.
	Wandering Frames follows a similar path on the desk of Luca Lozano. But instead of the abyssal-benthic zone, he takes it higher up in the air. Sitting comfortably on little fluffy clouds, reinforcing the UK bleep continuum and adding skippy beats, Lozanos remix appeals to hypno house collectors, slow-motion b-boys-girls and ecstatic dance fans alike. Peak time can have many hours.

We are more than happy to welcome Stephan(@earlorlog) to our hallooo Mix Series. In his mix he gives room for a feeling of imminence by considering Dub, Downtempo, Balearic, Cosmic Disco and related genres not as feel-good sounds but as a danceable form of “Widerständige Musik”. 🌬🌚🕊

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH EARL ORLOG ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: It started with the idea to make some kind of anti- war downbeat mix. Although it was clear from the start that I also wanted to include some new digs, the mix should centre around two classics: Timmy Thomas’ “Why Can’t We Live Together” and “Clouds Across The Moon” by the RAH Band. Anyway: By the time everything was done and dusted, I had replaced Thomas’ original with a cover version and all that was left of “Clouds Across The Moon” was a little vocal snippet. But I think I somehow managed to preserve the intended spirit: To tell it like it is. To let the story not be smothered in utopian beauty but to give room for a feeling of imminence, or subliminal distress and even a bit of good old German Angst … by considering Dub, Downtempo, Balearic, Cosmic Disco and more or less related genres not as feel-good sounds but as a danceable form of “Widerständige Musik”. 

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: Not exactly a story, but G. Rizo’s „Je Me Mentis“ is an alltime fave of mine. It’s a still pretty much underappreciated (wrongfully, of course) piece of abstract disco dub from Switzerland. A real heavyweight … practically at almost any speed.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in music?

A: I’m intrigued by music that is outlandish, naive, heartfelt, original, unfamiliar, genuine, odd, wild, touching, surprising, spooky, in any way trailblazing and/or trying to reach out to the stars - no matter from which era or part of the world. Ideally there’s a Saz, Oud, Sitar or Twang Guitar as well as a prominent Bass and some analogue Synths involved. Even better if it’s drenched in echo or reverb. I like to rummage through flea markets, second-hand shops, record fairs and cassette booths. Especially when I’m on holiday. As far as African, South American and Asian music is concerned I find a lot of stuff via local friends and Instagram contacts. And of course, what other diggers are spinning at parties, uploading to their YTs, or recommending in our chats is a huge inspiration.

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: Never let go: Beyond Sound - “Diamond Harbour”. Holy grail: Os Tincoãs - “s/t”. A record I managed to finally cross off my wantlist this week: Z.I.Z. - “…Aber Sie Machen Es Göttlich” 

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out?

Keshavara, Plasma Hal, Kame House, Parallel Schallplatten, WIWWG, Olaf O.P.A.L, Martin Stirnband, DJ Rotwein & Phil OG, GAZZA & Bærnd Anders, Axel Haxel & Kitchensessions and David Chouferbad.

Always in our hearts

After debuting on YAM's 'Youandmemusic Vol 2.' compilation only last year, after an EP release to on Hidden Sphere's Fruit Merchant and the launch of the No Bad Days tape series the UK based producer https://soundcloud.com/nativecruise comes back with a lushy 4 tracks 12” on the Italian young label https://soundcloud.com/paesaggirecords . The energy rises towards the title track "Desert Theory", a marching rhythm characterised by chugging wooden drums and ﬂoaty pan ﬂutes.

PREMIERE : Native Cruise - Desert Theory

She was beautiful, elegant and charming. She moved across the room with grace and caught the attention of wandering eyes who watched onwards from beside the pool. She sipped from a tall drink as the wind blew softly in the midst of what was a warm summer afternoon. Out here in the countryside, the world was peaceful and innocent. The air was clean and pure, the people kind and good. This was the land of Baila, a sun kissed tropical paradise beneath blue skies. 

Pitto is set to release a new EP via Heist Recordings. A euphoric, driven, dance floor focussed EP with energy and promise. It's reminiscent of late nights and warm climates.

PREMIERE: Pitto - Baila [Heist Recordings]

Label head Cosmic Garden returns to mothership with four subtle lushy cuts of pure Italo and Balearic deepness. The Italian Cosmic Rhythm imprint has been a highly reliable source for quality and timeless house music since its inauguration in 2016. Stepping to the plate for the label's 18th release, head honcho Cosmic Garden rolls through with four blissful Balearic and deep house moments. Sunrise stuff from the highest caliber.

Premiere: Cosmic Garden - Mediterranean Dream [Cosmic Rhythm]

It's a welcome return for Ketama on Italy's essential Cosmic Rhythm imprint. As we've come to expect from them, the 12" inch comes stacked with four shimmering, balearic tinged deep house cuts. Calling back to house music's golden period but with a distinctly modern flavour "Mentalmismo EP" offers up a lucid yet joyous ride. Here we turn the spotlight onto the B2 cut 'The Secret', with its seductive whispering, gentle keys and organic rolling drums hitting the spot in all the right places
