TEA TIME

Gudrun Gut and Mabe Fratti have worked together on a powerful hybrid album, where taut rhythms fuse with haunted vocal melodies and spoken word, and field recordings meld with extended ambient pieces. Limited edition of 500 copies on Yellow Transparent vinyl LP, digital downloads and streamings.

As part of Umor Rex’s 15th anniversary, we here present an album that builds a dialogue between two lands and two unique artists. Mexico is the origin and conceptual residence of our label, while Germany is where we produce and manufacture our records (Berlin functions as the center of distribution and logistics, thanks to our friends at Morr Music). The intertwining imaginations belong to German producer Gudrun Gut (Malaria!) —a notable figure of the subculture and the German music scene since the early 80s, and also a founder of Monika Enterprise and recipient of the ‘Listen to Berlin’ Award in 2019— and singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Mabe Fratti (originally from Guatemala, now based in Mexico City). We knew about “Let’s Talk About The Weather” from the beginning, and since the moment Gudrun and Mabe made us part of their project, our excitement could not be greater.

The process started with Gudrun and Mabe having long distance conversations, asking about their whereabouts and discussing the weather. This might seem rather commonplace, but it works as a key thematic component for the entire album. The weather as the new great unknown, perceived through the optics of everyday life. Sound files were methodically exchanged, with Mabe exploring words and vocals, and Gudrun working with field recordings taken from each city. In the end, this joint musical venture would provide a healing effect for both artists during life in quarantine.

“Aufregend”, the opening track of the album, reflects upon a general lack of excitement in modern life. It wonders what the future might hold. Is it cold? Is it warm? Will it be the same? “Air Condition” is an eerie, dazzling collision of climates: the hazy warmth of Mexico City, the deep cold of Uckermark. The last track, which gives the album its name, is a long ambient piece composed of four parts: sound sculptures, field recordings of city life, news and weather forecasts, and private conversations about the climate. It’s kind of a collaborative diary, obsessed with a single, all-encompassing subject.

Produced and recorded by Gudrun Gut and Mabe Fratti between Berlin, Uckermark, Veracruz and Mexico City. Mixed by GGut at Stern Studio Mastered by John Tejada in Sherman Oaks, USA. Artwork & photos by Daniel Castrejón in Mexico City.

Special thanks to Goethe Institute, who contributed to the creation of this album with a Virtual Partner Residency support.

SYMBIOTIC

Broken Lip's new alias 'mess_ey' is a fugitive music project escaping any genre enclosure. Emerging from the machinic connection that we create in a populated nocturnal solitude, its sounds accompanies us on the immanent surface of the everynight, multiplying and displacing it beyond mere entertainment or consumption.

Album opener, 'Back to Step 1', serves as a captivating entry point into this universe, setting off on an intergalactic journey aboard a distant spaceship, drifting through the eerie expanse of forgotten dreams and unraveling a fevered, space-time delirium that pushes the limits of sound design. The track begins with celestial reverberations and lo-fi textures, evoking the hum of arcade games - a sonic detritus that mirrors the afterglow of a disintegrating future...As the track progresses, it plunges into the depths of intricately crafted trip-hop rhythms. Hypnotic, laser-like oscillations slice through the composition, while fragmented vocal snippets and ghostly textures coalesce into a tense, otherworldly soundscape that lingers like an elusive dream, long after the final reverberations dissipate into the void.

Back To Step 1

Ilya Gurin-Babayeu - Back To Step 1 [Self-released]

On his latest full-length, Low End Activist swerves towards weightless grime and suspended hardcore miniatures to tell a very personal story. The UK-rooted producer continues his habit of zeroing in on a distinct approach for each release, leaving a logical breadcrumb trail of soundsystem science in his wake as he channels decades of bass absorption into 14 atmospheric cuts that prize patience and precision over obvious club functionality.

Municipal Dreams plays out as a semi-autobiographical tour through the Blackbird Leys estate that the Activist grew up on. It’s a lived reflection on inequality and the ripple effect it has in working class communities, using the sonic palette to set the mood and scattering pointed samples throughout to spell out the story.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-yas-reven-slow-pulse

Nehza Records sharpen their dense catalogue with 'Bolle', a shadowy, pulse-driven expedition from Milan-based producer Yas Reven...Among the standouts, 'Slow Pulse' emerges as a mutant anthem, drenched in dub resonance and kinetic drum interplay. Opening with a Gqom-inflected war cry, Reven lays down a constellation of space-echoed snares, glistening harp motifs and nocturnal jungle field recordings that flicker like jaguar eyes in the mist. It feels like a shape-shifting excursion where Al Wootton’s tectonic sub-science would fuse with the propulsive energy of a backroom percussive ritual - primed for sweat-drenched, leather-clad basements.

London-based imprint Fragment On Machines prepare to release 'Len Sen', the latest offering from label boss Rupert Galea, aka Jung Latch...Our pick from the release, 'Tensa Violet', spirals into Latch’s mechanical delirium. A semi-metallic thrum of disrupted transmissions and celestial harmonics sets the stage, luring the audience into a labyrinth of ghostly resonances and drone-infused echoes. Stretched-out pulses conjures up a polyphony of shape-shifting oscillations - bubbling synths, punctuated by the skeletal remains of filtered breaks.

Leipzig-based record label Altin Village & Mine conjure up their latest otherworldly transmission, an interstellar pilgrimage by Cologne-based production duo Urban Homes, consisting of Benjamin Riedl and Oliver Bersin...'Alien Nation’ plunges into a cosmic vortex of slo-mo rhythms and cerebral hypnosis. Unfolding like a 5-minute after-hours séance, the track sculpts a Balearic ritual - percussions quivering like seismic murmurs beneath a haze of space-dusted synths. Deep-sea echoes ripple through a misty skyline, while a weightless rub-a-dub bassline hums like a mantra, guiding listeners through a star-strewn nebula of ever-mutating frequencies.

Rome-based record label Glacial Movements prepare to unveil the sophomore album from Danish electronic musician Mathias Hammerstrøm, better known as Amphior...‘Under The Stars’ unspools like an icy reverie - layer upon layer of stretched-out synth vapour, subaquatic bass and distorted analog hauntings. As if mapping out the constellations of a lost psyche, the track unearths deep-seated anxieties beneath blood-red skies, pulling the audience into a twilight realm where solitude and the infinite collide.
