"Music from a vast majority of strangers, a small minority of friends and an even smaller inch of me. Leaves are thrown from a large window and somehow, some of them land on the same water post. Life goes in rectangles"

EAS016 - QVARK

Milan, Italy, 1983. In the midst of the 80’s economic boom, 
which gave an injection of optimism after the heavily political 70’s,
a group of young local musicians meet every night in a basement 
to rehearse and record a peculiar breed of Italian disco music.
Originated from the ashes of various other projects, 
and rooted in the broader jazz-funk tradition,
the group creates music which is equally inspired
by contemporary fusion as well as by the first wave 
of the italo-disco sound. Fast forward 35 years 
and the genuinely mediterranean flavor of Qvark’s 
demo recordings are still enjoyable for the groovy quirkiness 
of a project which has been to long forgotten.
After an intense work of audio restoration of such demo tapes, 
heavily affected by time, Early Sounds is pleased to present 
a compilation which is an important find to define the sound
of late 70's and early 80's Italian club sound.

[EAS016] Qvark - Qvark

In 1982, a group of friends deep into post-punk, jazz and dub got together in Mad Professor's legendary Ariwa studio and lay down their youthful interpretation of a NYC disco cut. Their unique take included trombone, vibraphone, piano and an ital dose of tape delay. They called the song Trouble and released two versions (vocal and dub) on their friend Tony McDermott's !Drum! label with artwork inspired by Russian Constructivism. The group, comprised of Justin Langlands, Chrysta Jones, John Schofield, Tom Dixon, and Dave Killen, decided to call themselves A-Team, having no idea that Mr.T and Co. would make them almost totally un-google-able 30 years later. The result of their adolescent studio idealism sounds akin to other disco misfits like Arthur Russell, Maximum Joy, Talking Drums and wouldn't sound out of place on legendary NYC label 99 Records. Remastered with an extended Club Dub for maximum dance-floor action.

🌞 NAPOLI SEGRETA vol.1 🌞


Lato '70: Donatella Viggiano - Giancarlo D'auria - Tonica & Dominante - Oro
Lato '80: Antonio Sorrentino - Donn'Anna - Mario D'Episcopo - ORO - Pino Amoroso

"Early Sounds is proud to announce, in collaboration with NG Rec, first volume of Napoli Segreta, a meticulous selection of the rarest and most sought after compositions of the 70's and 80's Napolitan disco and funk scene."

Naples is under siege, as always. Everybody wants a piece of it. Everybody is in search of the essence of the city, and it’s sound. A hunt such as this one, is so cruel, that originality risks the extinction within the goal of fake authenticities, being them musical, cultural, or artistic. Enough is enough! It is time to react. It is time to give back to the city what is rightfully theirs, before the other’s who wish to steal it forever, acquire it first. Time before samplers colonised the global acoustic imagery, here, in Naples, throughout its metropolitan spaces and rhythms, such beautiful tracks have been recorded that once you listen to them, they remain indelible.  And after years spent following the footprints of legendary characters beneath an urban underground, that crawls with anecdotes and passion, immerses bloody quests into oceans of vinyl records and dusty tapes, in the midst of emotional vicissitudes, parties, seas, recording studios and seagulls…..Napoli Segreta. Nonetheless, only the naive would believe in everything they read. Napoli Segreta is everything but this: Napoli Segreta is a diversion, a trick to deviate the attention away from everything that remains outside of this compilation. For there exists one, and only one way to let Naples remain truly a secret; to not talk about it at all. Zitto a chi same ‘o juoco, a vendi Napoli e poi muori….

D.E. - Giant Step (ITL008)

Prior to the release of his second EP on Second Circle, label friend and artist Dazion (@thedazion) delivers the 6th mix in the series. Q&A (excerpt) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hey Cris, you're originally from The Hague and still live there, correct? How is the music scene over there, is it different from the rest of NL?

D: Yes, born and raised! Well, The Hague has always had a big Indie and Rock reputation. Needless to say, electronic music has always been there, but maybe not as exposed to daylight as it does right now. For me the foundation has always been the Cybernetic Broadcasting System. There used to be kind of a government issued ban on ‘house’ and ‘dance’ music, because of some stupid ass brawls in a club. Luckily there’s a whole new crew of young guns, clubs and organisations, doing amazing things for electronic music in The Hague. So I’m super stoked to be here at this time and place. I guess you can say, that there’s kind of a difference between The Hague and the rest of NL. We’re a small town hahah. 

MFM: How important is playing instruments to you in the process of producing music as Dazion?

D: I would say, it really does give me a lot more playroom, if I add more instruments to my process. I mean, it’s so sick to learn how to play a new instrument. Last year I picked up the flute, and just decided to give myself a deadline, so I have to do it in front of a live audience. Hahah I know it sounds crazy, but it really works for me! In general I feel like people tend to be a bit hesitant towards learning to play instruments. But you would be surprised, how fast it can go, once you dive into it. I can’t read notes, and most musicians would probably kick my ass, if they would ever analyse my consistency, or use of notes hahah, but I am friends with my imperfections. So buy a kazoo! Do it!

MFM: Do you have certain traditions or workflows when in the studio?

D: Oh, I’ll start anywhere….hooking up cables, and spend 30 mins looking for a power supply, or just randomly press some keys. The thing is: I have this super tiny workspace/studio, that is kind of packed with gear. I’ll probably start with my go-to tool, which is a set of Samson c-02 condensator mics, and start recording percussive stuff. Could be a piece of wood, or metal. I’ll probably end up shaping the audio file, and start tweaking with effects. I really love looping stuff through guitar pedals. It hisses a ton of white noise because of shitty connections, but that, to me, adds to the sound. Once I have something I like, I’ll start experimenting with some of my rack synths. I Have a Roland Super JV that I’m really fond of. Most of the time, some weird combinations emerge, and I’ll take it from there!

MFM: Your new EP again includes vocal contributions. Do you seek for collaborations on purpose while writing music, or do they happen spontaneously as well maybe?

D: It’s not a real ‘must’ for me, but in a certain style of production, it just gives it an extra dimension. Especially if it’s in a different language. It’s actually more like…’oh this might sound sick with a (let’s say) so and so vocal on it’! I’ll have a vocal melody in my head, and once I’m meeting with the artist, I’ll start singing it to them. As a guideline. I always get a great reaction, because I REALLY can’t sing. But I somehow manage to get my intention through. It’s always a combined effort, because they know how to approach certain steps better that I do, so I’m like: ‘lets do it your way!’ Hell, I’m the one that takes notes here haha.

MFM: Did you have any particular idea or goal in mind when preparing or making the mix?

D: Well, as far as doing a mix, I think it might be cool if it’s more of a listening thing…I love to get out the weird stuff. I’ve been making rips for like two days, so yeah let’s see how you guys like it hahah.
