De Gulden Snede series evolved as a medium through which we could shed light on genuine artists pushing forward the stylistic barriers of electronic music. As the years progressed so has this noble concept. 
For the second installment, De Gulden Snede Vol. II, we seek to share with our audience the sounds, ideas, and artistic movements (music and visual art) weíve been exploring over the past year. Besides the altruistic tendencies, this compilation serves as a platform to showcase emerging artists, beat makers and producers associated with INI Movement. De Gulden Snede Vol. II is a testament to the hard work and creative perseverance of featured artists. On a broader level, this compilation is a curatorial statement to the sound of our label.

In the spirit of unity and art of sharing, we have curated this compilation with immense pleasure as a sound marker in time. With the sun setting on 2013, we invite you all to savor this aural treat. Gulden Snede Vol. II is INI Movement’s 14th release, out on all streaming platforms, downloadable on Bandcamp and Soundcloud for free as of 28th December 2013.

The wunderkind Oby Nine is no stranger to Amsterdam based INI Movement. As a label fixture, he contributed to Vuelo Nocturno Remixes EP and was featured on De Gulden Snede I. He now returns aiming for the brain with his own remix EP in hand. Oby’s latest musical project is an aural inquiry into the pleasure-inducing chemical, serotonin, which lends its name to this EP. The Serotonin Remix EP is a collection of Oby’s Serotonin single and various remixes.

The EP is a collaborative endeavour between Oby and five phenomenal Dutch producers. On Serotonin, we witness Oby Nine, Jarreau Vandal, Umoja, Moiety, Moods and Esteble all flexing their production chops. Each producer offers his own interpretation of Serotonin, by way of structural and melodic re-arrangements. Radiating from the eclectic re-interpretations, Serotonin Remix EP takes on the air of cohesive divergence.  The EP’s overall sound is solid and consistent, whilst sounds of individual tracks are deviations from one another. The heterogeneous styles of contributing producers induce a sense of musical adventure. A sensory trip, where the listener hears, feels and envisages familiar sensory patterns albeit each pattern being quiet unfamiliar.  As Oby Nine puts it “my idea for this EP is to create something that can help release serotonin in the brain of listeners”, that’s exactly what this EP has achieved.

Oby’s remix EP charts through UK garage, house, Brazilian bossa, groovy bass and crispy beats.  The elusive novelty realized by Serotonin Remix EP is its holistic sound. The manner by which it moulds various distinctive sounds into one “feel good” expedition. An expedition of the mind as variations of serotonin is released into the brain. 

Serotonin Remix EP is INI Movement’s 15th release out on all major online music platforms as of 20th January 2014.

Welcome to the inaugural edition of INI's 13 Mooncycle Mix.

The idea of the 13 Mooncycle Mix is based on the natural time phenomenon. Within the system of natural time, it takes the moon 28 days to orbit the Earth; it makes this orbit 13 times each year. Each of the 13 moons possess unique characteristics, the purpose of then of the 13 Mooncycle Mix is to use each moon as an inspiration. Come each 28th day, INI invites an artist to curate a mix for the new moon, giving them total creative freedom to interpret, signal or share whatever they so desire to as homage to uniques of each moon.

For the first instalment, we asked a friend of the movement, the serial ethnomusicologist, El Buho, to do his thing. Boy, he sure did his thing. 
The idea behind this mix is based on concept of 'fluidity'. With this in mind, El Buho has curated a flowing piece of music bathed in moonlight, fit for a dark, mysterious evening filled with hooting owls, swaying trees and tribal rhythms to dance around the fire. 

The mix features new music, original edits, remixes and exclusives from El Búho, Simon Díaz, Captain Planet, Sidirum, JWCM, Caetano Veloso, Nicola Cruz, Acid Pauli, Lulacruza, Blocktreat, Barrio Lindo, Populous, Chancha Via Circuito, Ouska, Thomash, Dunwich, Puelche, Tremor and more.

El Buho’s mix is fine blend of earthy, atmospheric, dreamy and melodic Latin American folk mixed with rhythmic driven tracks beside birdsong inspired electronica. 

Clear your ears of wax, and savour the first Mooncycle mix. 


13 Moon Cycle Mixes - El Búho (Self Existing Moon)

“A Trip Worth Making” is their fifth studio album, an exploration of delivering songs without words but with maximum impact. A true exercise in anthemic songwriting; “A Trip Worth Making” captures big feelings, with themes that are meant to be sung along. The title reflects on the over a decade long career that the band has enjoyed thus far, the journeys they made, the friendship they forged and the distance traveled. Being a large band for over 10 years requires commitment and trust to the process. “A Trip Worth Making” captures those feelings in a collection of tracks that evoke optimism, a turbo-charged lust for life and sentimentality for that which has passed. A true trip, both in the literal and in the psychedelic sense.

The Amsterdam-based duo of LYMA and Rebiere aka LIKEMINDS follow up their debut album On My Way with versions from its predecessor, titled The Lost Tape, on vinyl and digital.

Sometimes life throws you a curveball and you still gotta make it to first base. That’s what happened when Rebiere’s laptop was stolen, along with all the recordings of their original debut album. The pair made a brand new album from scratch, but they kept coming back to the demos from the lost recordings. They started to rework the sound as a whole, adding finishing touches, including additions from Bo Floor and Gino Groeneveld from Jungle By Night. The demos weren’t the same as the stolen tracks, but they learned to love the imperfections all the same.
The Lost Tape takes you on a journey - through low-slung beats, party jams, soulful melodies and woozy synths, all masterfully woven together with samples and field recordings from Amsterdam’s watery canalways. It’s also the story of how the duo met, at a time when LYMA felt lost at sea with his collection of unreleased tracks, before Rebiere threw him a lifeline and brought some focus and clarity. Sometimes finding a like-minded
friend can make all the difference.

My Baby - Got a Habit (Dr. Feel Good Remix)

Been working all day? Been sweating all week? Time to throw down the hammer and have a dansi time! 

In the spotlights: The irresistible dance music coming out of East Africa! Kenyan Benga, Congolese Rumba's, Muziki Wa Dansi from Tanzania, they all have something in common: Untamable Hi-hat samurai's, tireless guitar terriers, scattering songbirds forming a tidal wave of uplifting dance music. 

Umoja picked some their favorite songs & elements and went for a session to add some Umoja flavours. Keeping a wide range of tempo's and moods, there should be something for all your moves and moments. Put on your brightest socks, sprinkle some glitters and join the Dansi! 

Much love, 
Umoja

What would happen if you lock up a bunch of producers and musicians from different backgrounds into a studio complex for several days and give them complete creative freedom to record whatever they like? 

This is the question that music label INI Movement asked themselves. They decided to set up an experiment in their own studio complex in Haarlem. They invited a varied group of artists consisting of several members of brass band Gallowstreet, Rilan & The Bombardiers, Umoja & Pitch Controller Mitch. 

Guests that stopped by include Freshy Jazz and members of The Mauskovic Dance Band. The above mentioned contributors have helped each other with their personal projects but have never recorded in such a 'supergroup jam session type setting' where there was no directive style to the project. It could be seen as a collaboration in the style of supergroups like Soulquarians, Native Tongue or Odd Future. 

The result is a blend of different genres where the styles, tastes & speciality of each contributor meet. This is displayed in the tracks 'Berimbao' and 'Crappy Samba' where Umoja, best known for their tropical tracks and edits, is backed up with live recorded brass sections by members of Gallowstreet. Or Pitch Controller Mitch 
(formerly known as DJ for the group Pete Philly & Perquisite) not only contributing as producer, but also experimenting with his own vocals on 'Give It To Ya' & ‘A Star Is Born’. Also Rilan (lead singer of Rilan & The Bombardiers) can be heard on several songs including ‘Put Yo Feet Up Off The Wall’ where he complements the Disco & Funk drenched track with his raw vocal appearance. 

The young and talented multi-instrumentalist Lucas van Ee (Saxophonist in the group Gallowstreet) showcases himself as an established producer in many of the productions. 

The Collaboration 
Just like the collaboration between producers & musicians, collaborations have also taken place in the creation of the artwork (Photography by INDVDU edited in collages by visual artist Harm van Ee) and the creation of three music videos to be released along the way (one of which displays choreography by international dance phenomenon Roche Apinsa). The name Birdhouse is drawn from the nickname of INI's studio complex where this all went down. We dub this album 'Birdhouse Sessions Vol. 1' as an ode to this beautiful place that allows us to share our passion and experience complete creative freedom. One Love.
