People spilled out of the building and onto the streets, muttering under their breaths at the chaos that had just ensued inside. What had promised to be a night of good-mannered frivolity and celebration had turned into an utter shambles; the crisis management that would soon follow would be excruciating for those clearing up the mess. It was certainly a night many would not forget in a hurry, and for those involved, hopefully the ground would swallow them up before they had to face the music.

A new year calls for a new challenge. Prague-based DJ and producer Exhausted Modern takes a break from running Endless Illusion and OMO to team up with several friends for a new label pursuit. LTE's mission is to give a platform to local and foreign artists who are operating in all corners of the contemporary electronic music spectrum; a place for artists who want to experiment and try new things. For their first release they welcome six artists from across the globe, including MR TC, Mayo & Ethno Service, for a VA titled Long Term Evolution, that celebrates the music they love and sonic directions for the future.

PREMIERE: MR TC - Drome [LTE]

Common Dream - Dags

Humans have to drink! They went down to the pond to quench their thirst. Sipping from the cool wet while being on all fours, they saw the reflection of their own faces for the first time. This must have been the beginning of the ongoing struggle of mankind dealing withself-consciousness. Anna and Ole (Das A&O) also met at the water point and much like the myth of the first human couple “Adam and Eve” they ate too much poisoned apples but instead of getting obsessed with one’s ego, they wrote somebeautiful Synth Wave music together! Immortalized on a seven-inch piece of wax, the results are now available on Rat Life Records.

Metamorphoses is the debut album by electronic duo God is God for Hamburg-based imprint Bureau B. The duo consists of Turkish musician, producer and Kinship label founder Etkin Çekin and Belarussian multi-instrumentalist, composer singer and Not Not Fun alumni Galina Ozeran who started making music after a chance meeting in Berlin in 2015. Metamorphoses is the product of their second ever improvisational encounter: an undulating, avant-pop journey of low-BPM twists and turns guided by Ozeran’s synthesizers, Russian and English vocals and Çekin’s ethereal production and guitar sensibility. Central to the album’s musical narrative are both contemporary dancefloor-adjacent electronics and Eastern European and Turkish psychedelic electronic traditions – all filtered through the prism of Çekin and Ozeran’s respective musical histories.

Ozeran grew up in Vitebsk, Belarus playing classical piano before making her way to St. Petersburg to study curation and become a musician. There she formed various bands and began the lo-fi improvisational dream-pop solo project Chikiss, influenced by Soviet synth pioneers Eduard Artemiev and Alexander Zatcepin as well as American film composer Angelo Badelamenti, Laurie Anderson, and early Warp records. On Metamorphoses, this is reflected in her narcotic melody lines and sung “liquid language” – a kind of improvisational, non-semantic vocalization, which combines fluidly with Çekin’s sonic vision. The latter was honed in both Istanbul and Germany and draws equally on the sounds of Bülent Arel, Erkan Oğur and Turkish 90s indie-experimental band ZEN as well as Roedelius, La Düsseldorf and Suicide.

The result of Çekin and Ozeran’s collaboration is both measured and electric. Things start slow with billowing, amorphous chord clouds in opener “Behind The Heroes” before setting off into the foundational groove of “The Song Pt. 1”, which tunnels forward, bass-first, into dark disco territory. This soon leads into album single “The Song Pt. 2”, a continuation of the previous groove cleverly revisited with Ozeran’s dynamic vocalizing and seductive, dubbed-out sibilance. From here things open up into the wide vistas and droning, string-heavy soundscapes of “Masha Marie” and “Dream”, interspersed by the almost new age FM synth work of “Liquid Space” and “Drops”.

By the time the huge melancholic dance closer “Song To The Siren” sounds it’s final notes, the impulse is to start the journey all over again. It’s a testament to not only GiG’s improvisational chops, but also to their Teo Macero-like additional editing process by Sebastian Lee Philip (Die Wilde Jagd) of condensing a cloud of improvisation into a narrative, 40 minutes of bliss – and multiple modes of psychedelia.

The slow and trancey virtuoso from Frankfurt is back to release his solo EP. Each track has its own movement - mysterious, tense, exploring, expanding. Each movement is a medicine for your flesh and soul. The EP also includes great sounds from Greece. The remix by Anatolian Weapons is, as always, something more than just an interpretation.

From the first tribal beats, this EP triggers your body to want to move, something we're sorely lacking these days. We hope you can shake off the pandemic cobwebs to these tunes, wherever you are.

PREMIERE : Tassilo Vanhöfen - Aranda Traditions

odopt.bandcamp.com/releases

Our first digital release is a collection of secret edits, mixes, and dub versions. All were made during the last 5 years for private use, experimental live gigs, and podcasts and it was recently decided that these five music pieces deserve an independent release. Each pack includes a pdf-poster. The second part will come out next year. Art by Kei. 

If you want to pre-order a vinyl, you can crowdfund on the project's qrates page.
