We are proud to showcase more Bay Area family with the release of a new EP by Doc Sleep @docsleep who cut her chops as a DJ in San Francisco’s vibrant scene the past decade. In 2016 she made the move to Berlin and became a resident of Room 4 Resistance. Since 2013, she's been the co-owner of @jacktonerecords which specializes in techno, ambient, and experimental electronics. In 2016/2017 she released her first 12's on the Hot Mass-affiliated Detour Records and Bottom Forty. She also co-wrote a track with Bezier and Nicole Ginelli, titled “Stranger,” that we released on the ‘Primes’ EP in 2017. Her latest release, ‘Your Ruling Planet’, was released on Jacktone in March 2019.
We first heard “Creme Fraiche” on Doc’s soundcloud page and begged to release it. The track has the feel-good vibes you get on early morning dancefloors as things are winding down or up. Paired on the A-side is an updated version of the pulsating dark jam “Never Eating Again” that originally appeared on ‘Run The Length Of Your Wildness V.2’ and, like that compilation, proceeds from this track will be donated to Ghost Ship Fire victim Cherushii's family. On the B-side are two remixes from close friends of Doc. First up is a fresh breakbeat remix from Violet @violet : DJ, producer, boss of Naive records, co-founder of Rádio Quântica, and mina resident shaking up Lisbon's nightlife. Second is Berlin-based producer and fellow R4R resident, rRoxymore @rroxymore  who presents an innovative remix of future-facing techno and bass variations adding her own vocals on top. For this release we’ve teamed up with Jacktone to release a cassette version, our first in this format, featuring two peak-time bonus tracks. All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each copy is housed in jacket designed by Eloise Leigh with neon pink and lavender gradients echo morning sunrises with a collage of dreamy elements using a photo by Doc of Club Toilet in Detroit.

Orainn 02 is the second release on R.Kitt’s imprint. After initially setting up the label to release previous material featuring in live sets from festivals and club gigs last year, this release consists of brand new tracks all put together after the world fell apart. In R.Kitt’s words

“I felt like a lot of that old music was too intrinsically linked to a time and setting that doesn’t feel in any way relevant anymore. The environment of spaces like dance clubs or big open festival fields full of thousands of people seems so far away and the horizon isn’t even in sight, and it feels weird to try and understand or comprehend music that was made for those settings in a meaningful emotional way right now. Instead, this release tries to draw out some of the feelings I’ve been experiencing since everything changed.”

Volatile emotion is at the core of each of the 4 tracks on this EP. The opener, Dance Zoned, is a naïvely hopeful, rollercoaster paced, breaks infused piece that tries to distil meditative moments of elation found during this time. Due To reflects a more post-apocalyptic vision, robotic and desolate but buoyed by melodic bursts that serve to break through the cold atmosphere with injections of warmth. It’s Leaving Me feels like it is both tragically sad yet peacefully accepting, reflecting on loss, growth and change. The EP is rounded out by Not That Way, a foot down, all speed, no chance of stopping kind of tune.

These are not just tunes for the club space, which obviously doesn’t exist at the moment in anyway that we were previously familiar with. But the music is intended to summon the same kind of emotional release that we experienced in those spaces, in whatever environment you want, until we return.

djane is a local DJ who you may have seen playing at the sub club, revs and boney in the clubbing days of yore. This dynamic and incredibly interesting mix is a great showcase of her skills as a selector, seamlessly weaving a variety of textured sounds that at different times feel clubby, trippy, dubby and reminiscent of dark, chaotic, PC Music style pop.

Artist: Utopia Cloak / The Jaffa Kid
Title: The Imaginary Museum 001 
Label: The Imaginary Museum
Cat No: TIM001
Format: 12” Vinyl Transparent/black Marbled 

Tracklist: 
A1. Utopia Cloak – Summer Holiday ‘98
A2. Utopia Cloak – Matter Changing State
A3. Utopia Cloak – Summer Holiday ’98 (Mause Remix)
B1. The Jaffa Kid – A Certain Retro
B2. The Jaffa Kid – Jig Jag Electron

The Imaginary Museum is pleased to open its doors in 2021. It is the first museum of the imagination in the world: driven by insatiable curiosity, a deep belief in music as reliable witness and document to human history, and sound research, reflecting the desire to expand the wealth of human knowledge.

The first exhibition is a joint endeavour from Utopia Cloak and The Jaffa Kid, presenting priceless artefacts collected from their respective kingdoms where melodic electronica reigns supreme. Presented on beautiful marbled vinyl, each artist shares a side expressing their unique sonic aesthetics.

Utopia Cloak comes forth with melancholic whimsy in “Summer Holiday ‘98”, explores textures and hauntological soundscapes in “Matter Changing State” and enlists Mause to relocate that particularly meaningful holiday to a Brighton beach front with a cold can and seagulls included for good measure.

Flip over to witness The Jaffa Kid illustrate smokey ambient atmospherics in “A Certain Retro”, punchy dynamic electro scenery in “Jig Jag Electron” and pure braindance indebted melody in the masterful “Carago”, worthy of Richard D James at his very best.
