Bit of the ole info..

ESTER (Prague)
Ester is an Italian-born, Prague-based artist who is known in the Czech darkwave and electronic music scene. She began her career in 2018 and has since made a name for herself with her eclectic, dark, and danceable sets. Her music style is heavily influenced by genres like EBM, new beat,
industrial, darkwave, and post-punk, often creating a trip through these sounds. But there are no borders in her music selection. She remains in her element when playing in other areas such as dark-ambient and oriental that fill the gaps of silence in her daily life.

OLINSTVI (Compact Disco, LBD Sounds - Prague)
Olin, always all in on the hunt to discover overlooked treasures in the bargain bin, shaped by the vibrant London heydays at Phonica Records, is now based in Prague. Known for an eclectic music selection that blends cosmic sounds, 12” dub B-sides, acid house and his own edits, consistently
showcases forward-thinking grooves with a big smile—whether on the dancefloors of Bike Jesus and Ankali or at outdoor shenanigans.
With years of gigs across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, Olinstvi combines wide musical knowledge with a commitment to the original spirit and message. As the founder of LBD Sounds, a label dedicated to exploring Czechoslovak electronic history while providing a platform for
emerging artists, his work has gained praise from industry heavyweights, including the DJ Kicks compilation, and features collaborations with the likes of Ashley Beedle, Jonny Rock, and JDTwitch and in some of the cases, he serves as executive producer on the label's outings. Dedicating
most of his time to uncovering forgotten treasures, he ensures that the spirit continues to evolve.

RAPHAEL KOSMOS
Taking up DJing and record digging early on, and grinding away to every booth in the city, Raphael Kosmos has seen it all. His practice started taking shape during the massively spread freetek movement. Being affiliated
with local sound systems, illegally occupying various fields and warehouses, his way of thinking was nudged away from mainstream culture. Progressing with his taste, he later co-founded Endless Illusion, a seminal local label which brought releases and appearances of international guests,
creating one of the first connections of our city with the outside world, while inspiring younger generations a decade later.
His fascination with music of all kinds knows little limits and it is rare to hear him having a conversation on the bar about anything else than the music itself. Owning a vast collection of records and always with some fresh digs at hand, he can be spotted at a wide range of parties and clubs, from Disco feasts to industrial shindigs. In 2021 he founded a new publishing outlet of his own, a white label called Späti Records, which aims to put out music Kosmos thinks deserves to be outed, and under which he now irregularly
organises parties in several like-minded spots. Under his own or the Späti brand he regularly contributes mixes to various online stations (Mutant, Laude, Punctum). On a daily basis you can meet him behind the counter of Graffneck, the street art store with a considerable record section
which Kosmos maintains fresh and juicy.

"Those not familiar with Jones’ style, will listen slack-jawed at the shear anticipatory nature of his sound collage. The five lengthy tracks are based on hypnotic and somewhat menacing grooves: a repetitive dub bass beat, waves of Middle Eastern strings and voices, layers of building hand percussion. Each track is respective but the washes of sound/percussion come and go often creating a sense of motion and change. All of the tracks are similar and even share elements. Mid-East tension is so accurately captured through the use of the regions instrumentation (especially percussion), sinister electronics, samples of men chanting, women crying, sounds culled from the horrors of war, and occasional angry distortion that the listener’s listener will be transported to the belly of the beast.
‘Mullah Said’ displays two aspects of the work of Muslimgauze. Firstly, musically, it is in the delightful drifting ambient vein. The percussion is mainly acoustic hand drums - providing a rhythm of aural features - the trademark shimmering string sound heard on a number of releases is much in evidence, rhythms are generally slower, there are lots of samples of people speaking in conversation, markets wherever. ‘Mullah said’ opens the disc with the lovely mix of these sounds. ‘Every grain of Palestine sand’ continues the mood, with a slightly faster tempo, and more emphasis on the beat. But it soon locks into a mesmeric lassitude as various effects echo or smear the sounds, drums come in for short moments, different string sounds enjoin the play. ‘Muslims die India’ follows the mood though the voices seem darker, sadder, and then comes ‘Every grain of Palestinian sand’ followed by ‘Muslims die India’. Yes - not a typo, these tracks are repeated. Muslimgauze trend - to remix himself.  Prime Muslimgauze middle eastern ambience - if you like that side you will love this album. The final track is short and different, a crackling ground over which a singer chants a song interrupted by machine-gun percussive bursts - ‘An end’."

Engineered by John Delf.
Recorded at the Abraham Mosque, Manchester.
