Cold Embrace

Midas Touch is back, this time featuring RWN, a french artist that already established himself as a skilled microhouse producer. The EP delivers 3 original tracks and one remix signed by Vinyl Speed Adjust, that breaks the classic 4 by 4 vibe of the release with some sneaky broken beats. Highly recommended for nights and mornings.

One Time I Smoked A Blunt w/ Balam Acab

this mix was commissioned by woofer (https://twitter.com/woofer___) for his bi-weekly streaming show (twitch.tv/woofer___) so massive thx to him for giving me a push to actually record something for a change. it's the first proper planned thing i've done in years.

"femboy heaters" is a chaotic blend of ideas i've been playing with for years at this point. back in around 2002 i started djing with my close friend arash moori in birmingham. we both had wide-ranging tastes and wanted to find a way to represent that musically; we also both struggled with neurological issues. the result was a mix cd we titled "at the left handers disco", a blend of idm, r&b, trip-hop, techno, rap, d&b, ambient and noise. we handed out copies to all the bars and clubs we knew in birmingham and they truly hated it. they were just looking for the perfect soundtrack to accompany the merciless gentrification of the uk's ailing second city.

since then i've been mostly flirting with similar ideas, sometimes less obviously, sometimes more aggressively. i eventually had a regular night in birmingham (with arash, and other friends) where we focused more on softer, more "playable" electronic music; when i moved to the usa i ran a night called spectral rehab in boston which went back to pure eclectic mashed up noise-bass weirdness; eventually i became part of DRAW, a local club-focused afterhours party. now i'm in berlin.

over quarantine i've had the opportunity to fuck with multiple cdjs a few times, sharing ideas and absorbing inspiration from friends. this mix is a celebration of ideas i've had for ages (i've clanged the miley x autechre blend so many times it's not even funny) and a few i figured out only a couple of weeks ago. it's a massive thank u to old collaborators and new and to those ppl around me who allow me to feel whole, without having to hide any of the spikes or cracks. i love u.

the mix is an accompaniment to my forthcoming split tape with my lovely housemate jake muir for boomkat's "documenting sound" series. both feature dialog elements from todd haynes' 1995 movie "safe" cuz im a nerd :)

femboy heaters

Haunter Records is proud to present Left My Brain @ Can Paixano (La Xampanyeria) OST. A project five years in the making, dotted by contributions from dear friends Asaël Robitaille, v1984 and Marie Davidson; it is Osborne-Lanthier’s most ambitious work to date and, in many ways, an elegiac record. Largely composed and produced in the shadow of his mother’s passing, it also contains an another sort of elegy: to a infamous Barcelona restaurant that functioned as a daily stop for Osborne-Lanthier during a stay in Catalunya. It was in the midst of  that trip that he started adding sardonic, deranged experiments to his then-overtly serious, academic work. After his mother’s passing in 2016, nostalgia drove him to revisit a body of old recordings where he discovered something new: the sarcasm, self-effacing humour and proficient technicality he’d found so funny originally was now just a mask for insecurity and sadness. He set out to rework those recordings, reprocessing them over and over until their structures completely changed, until they’d gained such texture and depth they were no longer recognizable.
 
The music’s journey construes a multi-layered story, one only he can tell. The record smacks with a wet nostalgia that soaks into the concrete dryness of Osborne-Lanthier’s sound design, maintains a taste for intensity as a tool for immersive engagement. There’s a widescreen romanticism to these compositions, reminiscent of a vivid dream: the tracks are tactile and elastic, morphing rapidly from uncanny-valley EDM tropes to vast, sweeping expanses of sincere choral synths. Osborne-Lanthier sees the album as something of a concept cemetery; an overgrown plot that slowly filled to the brim with dead ideas; a mycelial network of thoughts and plans that never came true. The fruiting body of a fungus born from the nutrients of dead plants: an opus born from trash. 
 
For all of its absurd alien beauty, this is as much a record about being a musician as it is a record about making fun of music: as much an expert-level exploration of technical chops as it is an assault on the stupidity of technicality. Beautiful film-like ambient passages flow directly into weapons-grade riffs, fluid whirlpools drain into chattering synths and shrieking frequency envelopes. Ugliness and immaturity are not only preserved but elevated. The result is Osborne-Lanthier’s most finely-honed record to date — a reflection of what it is to be human: divinely uncategorizable.

Composed between 2015 and 2020 in Montreal, New York, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan, Tokyo, Stockholm, Osaka and Shanghai by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.
Produced in Montreal by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.

Full album out now on: https://quiettimetapes.bandcamp.com/album/lumino-pleco

-----
Cinematic and spiritual sounds from Gi Gi, conjuring a quasi-religious trance and made entirely from samples - ncluding Prince, Vangelis, Erykah Badu, and Miles Davis - warped, blended and smoothed over beyond recognition.

At times melancholic and at times hopeful, these lush textural soundscapes are worthy of an introspective listen; lights off, candle lit and somewhere comfortable.
