Cosmic Tiger present the first in a series of various artist compilations designed to shine a light on far-flung musical scenes while raising money for good causes. Kicking things off close to home in our Asian base, 'Messages Volume One' welcomes a varied lineup of creators from disparate musical backgrounds – including revered masters of the craft alongside irresistibly emerging talent. The sounds may differ in style and tone, but what unites each of the artists involved is the sincerity of their respective approaches to making music, and the indefinable magic embedded in their sounds.
From Japan to Korea, Thailand to Indonesia, Singapore to Hong Kong: the far-reaching compilation takes in original compositions featuring blissful Balearic wonder, life-affirming disco, late-night house, seductive neo-soul, and a good deal more as it glides through the 
evolving skies of the vast Asian continent.
While shining a light on the effervescent talent that exists in Asia's growing underground community, we felt a strong desire to spread some positivity. We wanted to do what we could to help some of those whose lives have been thrown into turmoil by the bizarre times we're all currently living through. All profits generated from sales will be split between Bangkok Community Help Foundation and The Sweet Potato Project – charities based in Thailand and Indonesia respectively that are helping to support those who have been worst affected by pandemic enforced lockdowns. It's worth noting, too, that musicians and performing artists were among the first to see their 
incomes diminished by the worldwide closure of venues, festivals and events, and in many cases are among the last to be able to return to work. With that in mind, the generosity of the contributing artists here is even more profound, as each of them has seen their livelihoods dented by ongoing venue closures and performance restrictions. This is our attempt to pour some love into the world via music and collaboration. This is our message, and these are sounds plucked directly from the vibrant Asian underground.

In late 2016, Thomas Gandey and Danny McLewin — known from the popular disco-influenced electronic music collective Psychemagik — emerged from their studio in London, England, claiming to have produced an extended musical arrangement, both entitled, and containing the sounds of, shakuhachi. Furthermore, they insisted, for the purposes of this production, and a further album of related arrangements to be released subsequently in conjunction with the successful German record label Kompakt, they should be referred to henceforth as Ghost Vision.

Shortly thereafter, the audio recordings described by Gandey and McLewin came into the possession of noted Los Angeles degenerate, DJ and nymphomaniac* (citation needed) Dirty Dave, who was quick to relay the hallucinatory qualities of the duo’s productions to fellow DJ and trusted hallucinogenic expert Paramida, of esteemed German musical imprint Love On The Rocks.

Paramida, recognising the innate quality of the sounds presented to her, decided that such recordings warranted immediate release through her audio distribution channel, and not without remixes. Quite without thinking of the Eastern origins of the instrument which had given the recording certain sonic distinguishments, and of course, its title, she enlisted the help of two musicians named Alex — one from Tokyo, and one from Kyoto.

Both Alex From Tokyo — the acclaimed producer of electronic sounds known for his prior releases on popular German label Innervisions — and his counterpart, Alex from Kyoto, better known as Al Kassian, rising Tamagotchi on Paramida’s Love On The Rocks imprint and his own label, Planet Sundae — turned in striking reinterpretations of Gandey and McLewin’s composition. It was reported that upon their arrival and first listening at Love On The Rocks headquarters, wild dancing broke out almost immediately and did not stop for 36 hours.

The resulting package of stereo recordings was finally released for public broadcast and manipulation by disc jockeys in early 2018, to much rejoicing, from England to LA, throughout Europe and Japan. It marked the first release for the label in their fourth year of operation, during which there is much more to come.

With the first release of OPW001, On Point Worldwide Records are proud to uncover the memoir of Hong Kong based French producer -  Romain Fx. An outstanding musician that quite a few years ago planted a seed that through the years of event experiments and music excavations flourished into the “Kimokeye EP” influenced by the grooves of African melodies, raw vocal snippets with a final touch of uplifting variety of FM synths. With a spicy addition of a darker progressive side to the title track, remixed by Jack Priest.

PREMIERE: Romain FX - Kimokeye

She was beautiful, elegant and charming. She moved across the room with grace and caught the attention of wandering eyes who watched onwards from beside the pool. She sipped from a tall drink as the wind blew softly in the midst of what was a warm summer afternoon. Out here in the countryside, the world was peaceful and innocent. The air was clean and pure, the people kind and good. This was the land of Baila, a sun kissed tropical paradise beneath blue skies. 

Pitto is set to release a new EP via Heist Recordings. A euphoric, driven, dance floor focussed EP with energy and promise. It's reminiscent of late nights and warm climates.

PREMIERE: Pitto - Baila [Heist Recordings]

"That moment when you know the answer but it's only on the tip of your tong but can't seem to get it right and all the other teams around you are consulting together to beat you. And at the split second, you shout out the right answer and time freezes and you see all the faces in despair opening their mouth to shout out the answer before you in vain. And after that time goes back to normal and you are left with a room full of deception with their head down and you in the air with your pint cheering with your team. That's Pub Quiz"

First off is the acolyte RFX with a mesmerising long drum infused intro, to then bring you back to the funk! And on duties is regular Running Hot bringing you a hot rolling bass anthem with a sing-along catchy hook. 

This release is short and sweet and all earnings are going to go to the charity project of Running Hot called "Dance for Relief"
"All proceeds raised from this release will go straight to Direct Relief (directrelief.org), a charity whose mission is to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies, and who are doing great work to ensure that protective gear and critical care medications get to as many health workers as possible. Their work continues to be particularly important in the midst of the current Covid-19 pandemic and beyond."
