Ronan - Leaves of Life
BUY LINK: https://xkalay.com/album/leaves-of-life
Label: X-Kalay (https://soundcloud.com/x-kalay)
https://soundcloud.com/ronan-music
Release date: 01/09/2023

Ronan lands with renewed focus and a new EP on nascent X-Kalay sub-label, Another Place. Musing on personal crossroads, ‘Leaves of Life’ is a highly evocative contemplation on the tides of life. It’s the culmination of a personal arc having sat with the material for six years, further refining the lush, introspective sound that’s characterised his output to date.

The outcome feels similarly unhurried; a pristine, genre-spanning exploration rendered with meticulous attention to detail. Soul-bearing stuff interspersed with words of reassurance through quietly spoken vocals.

The opener strives for utopia. Carried away on a warm current, ‘Song of Surrender’ initiates with a gorgeous unfurling of life-affirming trance that begs repeat immersion. Comparatively direct, ‘Cure for Toxicity’ comes on a breaks-driven flex before a fleeting switch-up into 2-step territory.

Supple groove and jazz modalities fuel airily introspective D&B as we shift focus to title track ‘Leaves of Life’. Then, finally, Ronan closes things out with a ritual purification of sorts. Deploying more breaks but bordering on new age, ‘Sacral Dub’ exudes a soothing, massaging quality with dubby tendencies in full effect.

Weirdos Inc. Records presents its inaugural compilation: "Delusions" – a mesmeric anthology of tracks from talented friends around the world. This compilation weaves a sonic tapestry of fourth world dub encounters that seamlessly connect the dots between psychedelic soundscapes, leftfield techno and sultry downtempo excursions that leave you marooned in a sweltering desert trance.

You're on a train, the melodic chug of flying rails beneath you, A red heat bleeds in from the window creating an ethereal mirage in the distance. The destination is at present unclear, but preliminary shimmering sights and new auditory visions promise hedonistic revelation.

We could waffle on and on like this (and we have a few times). Basically, This compilation is a journey - a collision of songs that created a path we couldn't have dreamt of.

Deep Nalström takes us on a unique journey through his ingenious, world-building music. His track "Still Lake" is a picturesque and dub-infused voyage through uncharted waters, much like an Alien Eden. Best known for his graphic design work under Atelier Superplus, Guillaume de Ubéda’s visual art, like his music, paints vivid and surreal landscapes full of wired wildlife warbling, imprinting pictures of this peaceful terrain inside your head.

Siamese Twins embarks on its 10th release milestone with the acclaimed Thai performance artist Tul Waitoonkiat. In หนึ่งคำถาม (One Question), Waitoonkiat's poetry is conjoined into a versatile sonic meeting of minds, created in collaboration with producers Black Merlin, Sapphire Slows, and Sleep D. Aligning seamlessly with Siamese Twins' trademark ethos of cultural reflection and interdisciplinary exploration.

Waitoonkiat, known for his socio-political work "2553," which reflects on the 2010 military crackdown in Thailand, has presented his novel "Silence is Violence" through multidisciplinary art exhibitions across Bangkok. One of these collaborations with Siamese Twins’ Khun Fluff in 2022 established a profound connection and laid this release's foundational recording layer. The recorded poem explores existential themes, pondering the endless cycle of questioning and the dichotomy between silence and imagination, darkness and light, with its contemplative imagination setting the stage.

The A-side unveils George Thompson's universe, known in the terrestrial realm as Black Merlin, with two noirish cinematic explorations that compose Waitoonkiat’s trademark expressive and enigmatic voice into the release's fabric. Showcasing Thompson’s ability to create hypnotic, depth-charged soundscapes that captivatingly feed into a broader story rather than claiming center stage.

The B-side begins with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist Sapphire Slows. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.

B2 closes with a seven-and-a-half-minute peak timer revolving around a pulsating bassline and driving force of drum energy. One craving for packed warehouses and bush raves by the Australian wizards of OZ and Butter Sessions label owners, Sleep D, aka Corey Kikos and Maryos Syawish.

Since last November, @teworina has joined the curation of tentacular.

In this journey, we continue to imagine, develop, and give meaning to this multifaceted project, driven by common values.

This month, we hosted our second residency weekend at the la gare/le gore in the presence of @therealsagaa and @troisquartstaxisystem. More residency week-ends and guests mixes to come! Excited to unveil those to you.

As a marker and celebration, Tewo Rina takes the helm of this new episode and delivers a deep, hypnotic and evolutive podcast:

« This mix reflects my attraction to mental and percussive sounds. Starting slowly, I explore variations in energy flows, shifting between deep mental grooves, deconstructed breaks, and lighter tracks with melodic layers. Inspired by recent psychedelic, hypnotic, and cavernous sound designs, my aim was to build a gradual mental tunnel, oscillating between rhythms. All original tracks are a source of inspiration; hope you enjoy listening! »

Tentacular 18 ~ Tewo Rina

Benedikt Frey makes his debut on Rhythmic Culture Records with ‘Hoover’. The German producer–known for his previous work on labels such as ESP Institute, Hivern Discs and his own R.i.O. imprint–delivers a 4-track EP that is a journey through the breakbeat spectrum with a distinct focus on sonic experimentation. From the hypnotic dynamic in ‘Blue Lights’ complimented by the vocals of DALO, to the intriguing dance floor rhythms in ‘Henry’ and ‘Deadlines’ and downtempo mesmerising track ‘Trees’, ‘Hoover’ puts another side of Frey’s work in the limelight.
