B2 How Is She There In The Fog

A3 Raise Your Head Smell The Air (HVL Remix)

Scenario founder Sebo K drops his debut LP - a seven track mini-album - entitled ‘Patience’ on Rekids in November.

Reflecting on 15 years as a producer, Sebo K has an admirable discography but recent years have been particularly exciting. The German producer’s continual rise includes recent releases on Bass Culture, Robsoul Recordings and Tsuba, whilst his vinyl-only label Scenario has been putting out wax featuring Ian Pooley, DJ Honesty, Jus Ed, Dan Curtin, DJ Deep and Diego Krause. Having cemented a reputation for consistently quality house music, Sebo K’s debut on Rekids exhibits a refreshing sound from the established artist.

Echoing notes and ethereal chords usher in ‘Paradigm Change’ as breakbeats join a moody bassline for the release’s opening cut. Picking up the pace, rattling percussion, ghostly pads and sci-fi inspired synths make up ‘Xhale’, whilst syncopated drums and eerie atmospherics see Sebo edge more towards electro in ‘Transitions’.

Breaks make a welcome return in ‘Restless (Darkness Mix)’, a suspenseful track complete with ominous synths and elements of rave, contrasting to the otherworldly and futuristic aesthetic of ‘Eyes Wide Open’. Amongst the seven tracks are two instrumental numbers called ‘Messier 78’ and ‘Atlantis’, which feature twinkling melodies and serene strings to add a cinematic touch to the overall package.

Hi pals, really excited to present you with our next release in the form of our second adventure out on our vinyl only No Bad Edits imprint. 💚to Levi aka DJ Leaves aka @unknown-mobile

Unknown Mobile - No Bad Edits 002

Dysphoria I Euphoria (Chapter 1)

22.22 (HVL Remix)

This one has taken too long to lineup, but then again hasn’t it arrived right on time? Unknown Mobile flies out of the gate with Clocktower, maintains momentum through Felled Birch, and cools down as Starstruck enters: a real whirlwind of a record for the main room and chill-out room alike. One could say that the artist is influenced by their location in place and time, but its feels as though UM’s sound has been shaped by powers more distant. While the choral harmonies, low-end arps, and melodic meditation transport us through a late 90’s discogs dig, the modernity in production guides us to the future. Long time friend, first time releaser, Unknown Mobile we are happy to have you.

SOBO008 - Unknown Mobile - "Clocktower"

Good news! We'll be releasing a beautiful LP from Unknown Mobile next month called Daucile Moon. 

Daucile Moon, which follows @unknown-mobile releases on No Bad Days, Normals Welcome and Young Adults, started four years ago in Vancouver when Levi Bruce was recovering from a broken toe and collecting MIDI files he found in an old geocities archive. It was finished earlier this year in Montreal with help from Mike Silver, AKA CFCF, who added plaintive guitar to complete the album's placid and stargazing style of ambient and downtempo music.

The album takes its name from an old, obscure Canadian jazz song that Bruce describes as "pretty but also with a serious amount of melancholy," which could also describe his new record. In the vein of Pacific Rhythm label-mate Khotin's standout New Tab album, Daucile Moon comprises drowsy beats and spaced-out loops, referencing the pinnacle of early '90s chillout and ambient while infusing it with the dazed sound of Canadian electronic music in the 2010s.

Bruce's process in making Daucile Moon was long but leisurely. He took the melodies from those MIDI files and moved them over to his analogue outboard setup and then back to his computer, creating a digital-analog hybrid that sounds as pleasantly worn as a dog-eared novel. Live instrumentation, like Silver's classical acoustic guitar stylings on "A Windless March Ouest," mingles with occasional dance music references like the subtle acid squelch of "Ravers Sojourn" or the hazy breakbeat of "Oenology."

The album was inspired by various happy memories, from sharing wine with friends ("Oenology") to a dog that Bruce met ("Simone Can't Swim"). The result is a patient and personal record that highlights the best qualities of Bruce's previous work as Unknown Mobile, with his distinct style of melody and soundscaping set free from kick drums and the dance floor. It's telling that Bruce originally sent the record, at first called Melancholic Songs For Dogs, to his parents and two grandmas—this is beautiful, relaxing music whose appeal is universal.

Daucile Moon will be released digitally across all platforms and on limited edition cassette tape available through our online store, Bandcamp, and Seance Centre on July 14, 2019.

Mastered by Nik Kozub.

Thanks for listening!

Daucile Moon

Unknown Mobile - Oenology ft. CFCF

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-lawrence-transitions-carsten-jost-remix

This quintessentially deep remix of @lawrence_dial from fellow label cohort @carstenjost extends over eight minutes, delivering a track that could be compared to the likes of Larry Heard's earliest releases, due to the bouncy bass line, 808 claps, shimmering melody and reverberated vocals. It's blissfully deep.

Lawrence - Transitions (Carsten Jost Remix) [Dial]

There was a grey haze which hung in the morning air, it was not fog but a low hanging mist which was built of floating moisture amidst the dense expanse of sky. It was to be a rainy day in the city, the bay was cloudy and damp as the people marched along the pier with brightly coloured umbrellas and a great, rushing sense of purpose. This was their little life, work all day and meander between the towering buildings by the sea - it was all they had to live for in this hell...

Echovolt Records are keeping busy this summer, no slacking around here. A new EP from George Earnest & Der Opium Queen is bursting with sun kissed life and energy, perfect summer music with a touch of the balearic legacy which built the good time islands.

PREMIERE: George Earnest & Der Opium Queen - Rainy Day [Echovolt]

READ > inverted-audio.com/unknown-mobile-looping-truths-and-expectations

Lifted from this much versatile and finely arranged collection of laxed-out grooves and soothing, otherworldly atmospherics, the shimmeringly coloured 'Looping Truths And Expectations' is one capable of both pausing the madness around us for a second and slashing a path of light out the darkest night.

Unknown Mobile - Looping Truths And Expectations [Pacific Rhythm]

After debuting on YAM's 'Youandmemusic Vol 2.' compilation only last year, after an EP release to on Hidden Sphere's Fruit Merchant and the launch of the No Bad Days tape series the UK based producer https://soundcloud.com/nativecruise comes back with a lushy 4 tracks 12” on the Italian young label https://soundcloud.com/paesaggirecords . The energy rises towards the title track "Desert Theory", a marching rhythm characterised by chugging wooden drums and ﬂoaty pan ﬂutes. Preorder there : https://www.juno.co.uk/products/native-cruise-desert-theory/734999-01/

Daucile Moon is the name of Unknown Mobile’s debut album which has been four years in the making. The Canadian producer, real name Levi Bruce, has released a number of records on some well established labels such as Normals Welcome and SOBO. 

The album follows his most recent release on the latter and is an explorative 8 track affair on Pacific Rhythm.Shedding the usual kick drums, Daucile Moon is pure listening material and crosses several genre boundaries while trending toward ambient and downtempo. It features Mike Silver aka CFCF, a fellow Canadian, on the plaintive guitar melodies you hear on A Windless March Ouest, Oenology and Copper Bird Bath.

Today we’re giving you a sneak peak at the A2, Ravers Sojourn. A voice tells you to go with the experience as some moderately tense chords build pressure with a looming acid-like bass. The echoing lead does nothing to release the tension but in fact aids in continuing to build it. An uncomplicated yet bewitching piece, the beauty is in its simplicity.

Although the majority of the album trends towards warmer atmospheres, there are a couple of songs that contrast those moods such as our premiere today and another favourite of ours, Simone Can’t Swim, named after a dog Bruce met. Get your pre-orders in as the album is due out July 15.

PREMIERE: Unknown Mobile - Ravers Sojourn

This is a shortened down version of a remix I did for MMOTHS recently. If you want the full length (mixable) version then you can get that from here as part of an excellent free remix package: http://mmothsmusic.com/diariesremixes

It was a nice remix to work on, with some great field recordings, a lovely simple piano riff, and some looped vocal samples which all slotted nicely into the new structure I wanted to go with - something a bit more club compatible than the original, but still hopefully carrying the feeling.

I messed around with the field recordings in the Monolake Granulator a bit, to get some subtle glitch/randomness in there, but other than that I went pretty straight on the arrangement, just gradually introducing the layers and adding a new synth to punctuate the peak, and a new bassline and chord variation.

The idea with the field recording/glitched intro section was to try and make something non-melodic and a bit harsh and cold, in attempted polar contrast to the warmth of the main melodic section and enveloping bass ie I wanted try and make the bleak part emphasise and accentuate the nice part.

So, anyway, here it is, as a free download for all.
