This is the first beat out of "Failed" EP by René Schier, releases on the 22nd Dec,  Pre-order now

InchPerSecond is super excited to release Failed, a six beats long instrumental hip-hop EP made by René Schier. Failed is an intelligent combination of galloping grooves, jazzy leaks and soul buttering basslines. Skillfully René crafts mysterious atmospheres and mixes repetitive loops with free flowing elements, making every single beat a meditative journey on its own.

The Berlin based multitalented beatmaker is also a professional graphic designer with a distinctive line. While listening to this album, you cannot ignore the fact that it feels like he treats his music in a similar manner he treats his visual collages. Old and modern elements layered on top of each other, gentle filters, abstract soundscapes, random pieces from here and there all cut & glued together seamlessly into one beautiful composition.

After signing on with Gatto Fritto’s mind-melting Sound of Love International Volume 1, we’re back, we can smell summer and we’re putting you in the capable hands of festival favourites, Washington DC’s Beautiful Swimmers. A beautiful swimmer is a small blue crab.

The Beautiful Swimmers are Ari Goldman and Andrew Field-Pickering (AKA Max D). And you, my friend, are about to get high on the happy. They’re here to take you on a gleeful joyride around their collective musical imagination.

The Swimmers are full bore record enthusiasts you see, but whereas you might associate this with squirrelly, exclusive and crabby sorts, they are inclusive, human and warm. It’s a wide-eyed ebullient romp and the joy of discovery is one to share. And to see them DJ IS a joy - they’re having at least as much fun as anyone else in the room, locked together tight, riding the same wave.

So even when shit gets somewhat darker, the tempos higher and sounds gnarlier (Analogous Doom) the world is never grey. When we’re stone cold balearic in the Adriatic (Plunky) the vibe is up, young and fun. Banging them b’more house beats? Well, you’re probably going to be recognising a welcoming RnB sample (KW Griff).

We’ve also been blessed with some Swimmer’s specials in the shape of ‘Blow Up Girl’ and ‘Living in a Zone’. Exclusive. Ari and Andrew have previously worked in dog and childcare respectively. If this compilation was a dog it’d be a “rascal”, if it were a kid it’d be “spirited”.

We can’t think of anyone better to be your guides, as they themselves might say, “it’s a vibe”.

This is the sound of Love International. Part two.

LITP002: THE SOUND OF LOVE INTERNATIONAL - BEAUTIFUL SWIMMERS(SNIPPETS)

Buy: https://futuretimes.bandcamp.com/album/dolo-4

Max D of Beautiful Swimmers takes to his Dolo Percussion alias to deliver an expansive album full of rhythmic experimentation titled 'DOLO 4', set for release via his own Future Times imprint. Among the uniquely creative batch of excursions is 'DOLO 13', a house-leaning electro cut complete with gripping bells and deep textures crafting an enveloping sonic experience designed for DJs to use in clubland. 

Since launching the Dolo Percussion project in 2013, the focus of the material through this alias has been aimed squarely at the DJ booth. The drum tracks were initially designed for Max D's live sets, but since have expanded into useful tools for all to use. The styles presented traverse all genres as well, from techno to house, grime and breakbeat in between. There's clearly something for everyone in this new stack and Max D is in top form!

'DOLO 4' is set for release May 10.

PAN welcomes back the Lifted ensemble for a second cross-continental adventure off the grid, simply titled Lifted 2.

Lifted’s latest release expands on the expression of improvised fusion that brought about the spectrum of styles explored on their 2015 debut album for PAN. Expansion is a key theme to Lifted 2, primarily in the musicians involved; Lifted is now a core group of Future Times boss Max D, Matt Papich aka Co La, Jeremy Hyman and Motion Graphics. Expansion also relates to musical ideas Lifted explore and the studio techniques executed.

Whereas the way they approached the idea of improvisation on Lifted 1 was framed in jazz terms, the seven-tracks on this second LP step even further into the vivid unknown. Zero boundaries for the exploratory impulse. “On this record we went a lot deeper into our kind of studio technique,” Lifted say. “We tried to cultivate the sound using the studio as a primary tool, almost a member of the group in a way.”

As with the debut Lifted LP, listening to Lifted 2 is an open invitation to experience the worldwide creative framework surrounding these artists. The collaborators for each track, whether present in the studio or online, show what a fluid and freeform exercise Lifted can be.

Max D’s international crew of Future Timers play deft roles throughout Lifted 2. Jordan GCZ and Dawit Eklund both return for ‘Lifting’ alongside 1432r’s Sami, NYC’s Will DiMaggio and Sao Paulo’s Repetentes 2008. Beatrice Dillon and Bass Clef, two highly-decorated artists from the UK underground, make telling contributions which mark the latest in a long line of celebrated creative collaborations for the pair. Further input comes via Aya, vocalist and bassist for crucial Japanese experimentalists OOIOO, and Martin Kasey, a friend of Papich with a background in Baltimore theatre, summoned for Lifted duty to provide some striking saxophone blasts.

How do all these collaborations manifest on Lifted 2? It’s a sort of inverse process full of blind takes with the results more bruised than polished. “The song stays fluid until the end. We pile the ideas really high and then decimate them,” Lifted say. “We delete until the songs are crystallizing; lay a grid of silences to organize the tracks. The breathing spaces become definitive.”

These seven tracks adroitly weave through mood and vibe, demanding heads lock in with an initial blast of whip sharp percussive hits and contemporary no-wave blowouts before letting off steam with soothing ambient synthesis. “Black Pepper” acts as the album centerpiece, an unhinged mangle of SH101 basslines, freeform flute & saxophone and multiple percussive sources brought to order by Papich’s studio dubs. “Rose 31” edges closest to the kind of jazz fusion that inspired the project from the off, Lifted utilising the various classic instruments deployed by the greats of the game. Closer “Near Future” smartly foregrounds Motion Graphics’ stunning piano talents, gradually stripping away all other elements until all that is left are his swirling notes.

The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring photography by Traianos Pakioufakis and artwork by Johannes Schnatmann & Bill Kouligas.
