Dotyk - "a touch" in Ukrainian
A  story  inspired by the beauty outside my window. 

Light-footed grace of time
Turning everything golden
Covered in blissful sunshine
Her majesty Autumn is here

Improvisational one take + field recordings made some days

This set is your therapy. Your Catharsis. Live out all your deepest emotions with it, track by track, and you'll notice how it brings you into action at the end of listening. You don't have to do anything. Just follow your heartbeat. And if you can't move from the experience right now, turn on Catharsis by Arteria.

Catharsis electronic mix

Left Blank return from a long hiatus with their first and only release of 2014, from Portland's Best Available Technology.

Kevin Palmer is someone the label has been in touch with and an admirer of for a long time now, and after acclaimed releases for Opal Tapes and Astro:Dynamics amongst others, we're thrilled to finally be able to put out some of his most uncompromising music yet. Headed up by the relentless metallic post punk of title track 'Neon Razer Chain', this EP moves effortlessly through experiments in billowing ambience, dubbed out machine jams and buzz saw techno, to make one of his most diverse releases to date. 

Released on vinyl & digital 17th November 2015.

We are pleased to announce a new sneak peek into the anticipated fourth album from Mammal Hands. ‘Captured Spirits’, released 11th September via Manchester tastemaker record label, Gondwana Records.
 
Consisting of saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart and drummer and tabla player Jesse Barrett, the trio have forged a growing reputation for their hypnotic fusion of jazz and electronica and have received glowing recommendations from the likes of The Guardian and Gilles Peterson. Drawing on their love of electronic, contemporary classical, world, folk and jazz music, Mammal Hands take in influences including Pharoah Sanders, Gétachèw Mekurya, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Sirishkumar Manji.
 
Forming in Norwich in 2012, brothers Nick and Jordan along with Jesse, developed their distinctive and polished sound with their meteoric live shows and release of three critically acclaimed albums: ‘Animalia’ (2014), ‘Floa’ (2016) and ‘Shadow Work (2017). Landmark live performances have included shows at The Roundhouse London, the main stage at Field Day Festival, La Cigale Paris, Montreal Jazz Festival, Hamburg Elb Jazz, Athens Technopolis and Unit Tokyo.
 
Teaming up once again with trusted producer George Atkins (Wiley, The Courteeners) at 80 Hertz Studios in Manchester, ‘Captured Spirits’ explores themes including existence and displacement. “The name has multiple readings but was first inspired by something Jordan was reading about past experiences of ancestors being caught and coded into our DNA and having an effect on who you are today. This ties in with themes that we have touched on before relative to identity and the collective unconscious (‘Shadow Work’). It also toys with the idea of feeling contained/trapped and the need to break out of something and also the idea of people being spirits that are "captured" in a body”, says Nick.
 
Opening with the melodic rhythmic patterns of ‘Ithaca’, the tempo picks up with the mesmerising ‘Chaser’, as heavy percussion and Nick’s frenetic keys draw the listener deep into Mammal Hand’s distinctive soundsphere. North Indian influences dictate the meditative ‘Versus Shapes’ with Jesse’s transcendental tabla playing taking centre stage while the dark and moody ‘Spiral Stair’ relies on a multitude of colliding and intersecting shapes and sounds.
 
All three members of the band contribute equally to the writing process: one that favours the creation of a powerful group dynamic over individual solos. “I think with this record, there was a strong and renewed sense of collective enjoyment and appreciation for the process and each other's contributions. After a long period of touring and a slow build up to the actual recording sessions we were able to mull over ideas for long periods, build on lessons from the past and pull our playing connection to an even deeper place. Realising each other's visions for the whole and clearly understanding how they intersect”, says Jesse.
