For You

For a man whose moniker is derived from a simple spoonerism of his name, Barcelona born Sau Poler's music is beautifully complex. Intricate shuffling drums, smooth shining synths, gentle arpeggiators, delicate chimes and warming basslines are just some of the ingredients that make up Sau Poler's sound. Fresh off the back of dropping his self-released Paradoxes Of Progress EP, we tuck into this exclusive mix from the man himself. Embark on a journey and get lost in 54 minutes of grooves.

"During the past months, I've been very fascinated listening to a bunch of underground producers, that kind of "lo-fi tape experimental house" sound, very well defined by labels like Opal Tapes, L.I.E.S, The Trilogy Tapes, Going Good, Latency, etc... Inspired in that way, I build the mixtape trying to oscillate into various genres and keeping that hypnotical feel. From that disco infected house tracks of Jack J and Andres remix, to the blurry minimalesque flavor of Vester Koza or Cloudface, through the Fleetwood Mac's classic edit by Mau. Closing with two beautiful pieces, the ambient passage from MIUAX and the night dreamer "Blackmoon" from the french producer Scan X, a song that touched deeply my adolescence and I've listened for ages and ages."

German DJ/producer David Hanke (best known for his long-standing work as Renegades Of Jazz) returns next week with a brand new 12"! Out 19th October via South London label Shapes of Rhythm, 'Der Kugelkreis' is home to two slices of what Hanke calls "Krauthaus" - deep, winding, psychedelic house music for the afterparty crew. Pure in conception and thoughtful in execution, both of these tracks are sure to be picked up by discerning DJs. Our pick is 'Permutation', a slow burner that dazzles with yearning chords, organic percussion and kaleidoscopic vocal cut ups.

HOLLOW COVES
by Stian Kristoffersen Vedoey

Iʼm failing now
Disintegrating, withering
Iʼm wailing out
Ashamed of my own inhibiting
So Take it now
Unarm me from my tethering now

Lift my frail, dry bones
Whisper new life through my hollow coves
Lift my frail, dry bones
Steer my mind on course home

Leave no stone, unturned
A feeble light discerned
Beyond what I, beyond what I ever could have earned

Hold me now, hold me now, hold me now
beyond what I ever could have
Hold me now, hold me now, hold me now
beyond what I ever could have earned

Lift my frail, dry bones
Whisper new life through my hollow coves
Lift my frail, dry bones
Steer my mind on course home

Whisper new life through my hollow coves

Released by Firewoodisland 27th September 2019

David comments
Running Up That Hill has one of the most meaningful lyrics:  “There’s so much hate for the ones we love”.  It is a stark reality for many who are in troubled relationships.  We just do not understand each other.  The bittersweet plea to God to swap places is perfectly sung by Donna Lewis. The string quintet, modular synthesizers,  and vocals morph between sweet and strident, sonorous and dissonant. There is never a true resolution, only a musical ladder that is climbed without ever reaching the top.  You can see the clouds - but you can not touch them.  The wish can not be granted musically or otherwise.  It is in this yearning that a truth is revealed by Kate Bush - it is up to us to try to understand each other.  

Donna

I’ve been a huge Kate Bush fan for years so when David suggested we record a cover of Running Up That Hill with just strings and vocals I was all in! 

The powerful lyrics always got me thinking: what if we could swap roles with other people? What if we were to walk in someone else’s shoes? If we could, perhaps we would find a lot more compassion for each other. David and I wanted to give Running Up That Hill a uniqueness that the song deserves. Starting out with a stark piano vocal performance, David then wrote a string and synth arrangement around the vocals to create a beautiful balance of simplicity and complexity.

Premiere: https://www.clashmusic.com/news/premiere-bora-york-learn-to-let-go-with-colorado

Clash Magazine: "New single 'Colorado' finds the pair looking backwards to go forwards, a sublime piece of indie pop overlaid with billowing electronics. It's a song about letting go, about giving yourself up to your dreams, and following your desires to the fullest. Taken from incoming album 'Emotion Vertigo', the single has this chiming LA feel, with flecks of 80s pop in the recipe as well."

LYRICS

Every step, every mirage
I’m floating, I’m floating, thinking of you
Caught the sunlight, let it soak
Every drop, the glow gave me hope

‘Cause you are my Colorado, Colorado
Yeah, you are my Colorado 

Now I’m breathing in slow motion
This endless glow I’m feeling
Now I’m breathing in slow motion, you and I
We’ll never need another reason

Welcome breath, fog on our lips
The red rocks, our red rocks, sunrise waking
Ditch the city, our losses
Careful now, to not be cautious

Emotion Vertigo

Colorado

‘No Reason’ ​is a successful exercise in painting pictures with music where Tereza’s angelic voice captures a serene ambience, and the glistening arrangements possess a beguiling aura. The track sends us through dreamy landscapes evoked by minimal instrumentation, with Mason providing subtle touches and a vocal harmony. @teepeeband

Tereza gives her insight: “No Reason’ is a very important song for me. It tells a story about our history where men and women grew apart. We created ridiculous binarities of masculinity and femininity that has been damaging our minds and souls for centuries and we claim that it's natural. We make wonderlands out of each other saying that someone is not able to be or do something because of their gender. I think that the most dangerous phenomenon in the world is when one group calls the other group “The Others” because most of the time it leads to injustice. That is why the message of the song is that we should leave behind the dichotomies. There is no reason to keep them because all genders are splendid.”

No Reason

Verse
Two planets apart
Got lost in the dark
We weren‘t bound together
Thousand meters above
Out of the clouds
We Made a strange weather
 
Chorus
It's hard for me to understand why you would make a wonderland of me
If you think that I will stand this you underestimated me
 
Verse
Souls deflated
And separated
Should I be flattered?
Sound of noise underrated
We’ve been created
From the same matter
 
Chorus
It's hard for me to understand why you would make a wonderland of me
If you think that I will stand this you underestimated me
There is no reason left to find

Bridge
We were branded handmade by design
We are splendid we will leave them behind
