Soshi Takeda (@s0c) returns to the California imprint @100percentsilk for his latest, 'Secret Communication'. The album offers more of what you like about the producer, with even deeper soundscapes designed to transport you to a blissful state of serenity. We're pleased to highlight "Long Dream", an appropriately named piece that flies off above the clouds and embraces the sunshine.

Soshi Takeda - Long Dream [100% Silk]

"Think Pachanga Boys’ Time…but with soul."

The register chimed loudly. He glanced up at the queue of customers steadily gathering and took a deep breath. It was going to be a long hot day.

The shop was small and crowded, outside in the street it was scorching, the block was on fire in the midst of the summer and everyone and everything was looking for relief. He would be their answer…

He wasn’t sure how it had come to be this way, that he was the one to serve. Yet here he was…

From time to time he’d have to check himself, check anything, check something. Then the chime would ring out again…

The made ace, insanely brilliant Brian d’Souza aka Auntie Flo, releases ‘Aker The Lion God’ on 31st October, a precursor to his upcoming album ‘In My Dreams (I’m A Bird and I’m Free)’, out on 21 November.  PRE-SAVE ALBUM ~

Inspired by field recordings from New Zealand and Brazil, the environmental sounds of a conch shell and a bassline influenced by Charanjit Singh’s proto-acid house work is worked into some altogether more ethereal.

PREMIERE: Auntie Flo - Aker The Lion God (Club Mix)

His unmistakable mix of cold currents and warm melodies has made Martin Matiske a regular here at Bordello A Parigi. Amore Galattico is the German artist’s third release with us, an intergalactic voyage with a synthesizer as a guide. The title piece is a bold, yet fragile, composition. Woven around slender drum patterns are flows and shifts, key changes and scaling notes where astral washes blend with romantic flourishes. Beats are bolstered and fortified by harmonic richness in “Cuore”, an analogue space opera of daring complexity and unsurpassable execution. Matiske’s twenty five years of experience are plain to hear in this quartet. His range and musical skill are coupled with an uncanny ability to balance contrasting tones. Glacial chords are buttressed by low juddering bass in “Heaven Knows”, the listener pulled ever skyward in this sublime work. The curtain fall maintains the cinematic and dramatic quality that underscores the EP. Striking synthlines shimmer before understated rhythms, a radiant finale on an EP that takes inspiration from the stars themselves.

PREMIERE : Martin Matiske - Cuore

She was lonely as she strolled amongst the city streets. The sound of shutters rolling as shopfronts were closed for the evening, the honk of horns as people whizzed between traffic lights in the hope of beating the rush hour on the freeway. There was fog in the air, there often was around this time of year as the nights became colder and the evenings darker.

Billboards illuminated the street corners. Some looked up mesmerised by the bright array of dazzling colours as they flashed and flickered. Things people didn't want or need but would come to acquire anyway. That's the way the world worked right?

She was often lonely, from time to time she'd find a shadow or a friend which might be something to hold on to. But no sooner than they were there they would be gone.

Lis Sarroca releases a new EP via Smallville Records - a delicately poised collection of house music and breaks with the usual class associated with the label.

PREMIERE: Lis Sarroca  - Might Be [Smallville Records]

Tucked away on their 2012 debut EP on Fake Music Media, “Ethereal” burst Nova Heart onto the Beijing indie scene with their brand of glittery, effervescent synthpop. The CD only release did not see much
distribution outside of China and now appears for the first time on vinyl care of Alliance Upholstery with an impressive collection of remixes.

PREMIERE : Nova Heart - Ethereal (Magic Words Remix)

The alarm rang with an intense scrutiny. It was urgent and rampant – echoing down the halls and piercing the eardrums. They filed out of each room, one by one, following the procedure.

Outside was dark, it was in the middle of the night, the noise had woken them from their sleep.

In the distance was a faint smell of smoke. He masked his face and looked around for the panic button. The switch which might save them all. In an emergency like this there was only one thing to be done.

Breaks…

Escape Artist is set to release a powerhouse of an EP on Craigie Knowes, think Shed meets hardgroove meets breaks and you’d be on the right lines. Euphoric and energetic for dark rooms and flashing lights.

Far Away Places

PREMIERE: Escape Artist - Breaks In Case Of Emergency [Craigie Knowes]

From Sweden with Italo to Dresden with love. Stockholm's DJ City drops his first release on Dresden's Uncanny Valley with the COSMICOMICS EP, a 100% fun record for all the senses, deeply inspired by Italo Calvino's iconic short story collection.

COSMICOMICS borrows its name from a collection of short stories written by Italian author Italo Calvino, first published in Italian in 1965. The stories have inspired DJ City to a record that aesthetically draws from 80s Italo Disco and 70s science fiction films. In the book, each story is based on a scientific fact about the world and the cosmos whilst using fiction to ask how we understand it. Where Calvino's stories are comical and absurd, DJ City surrenders to the sublime and romantic and moves further into the metaphysical world that Calvino created to come up with three energetic and melodic tracks bursting heavily with fantasy and drama. Deeply rooted in dance music’s history, they shine with Hi-NRG-vibes, strict dancefloor commitment and little easter eggs like that Drexciya-reference in COSMICOMICS.

The cover of the record is a painting from 2020 by Swedish artist Jens Fänge called THE INN. We see a man in front of the entrance to a Mediterranean-style building and a woman in a window on the upper floor. The picture seems to have been broken up into several dimensions, and abstract details make it difficult for the viewer to know exactly what and when the scene is taking place. When shown in Shanghai, the painting was censored by government agents and had to be taken down. A testament to the power of the image. Perhaps it shows our main character, perhaps it shows us the author or the artist. Depending on who listens, who reads and who looks, a multitude of universes open.

Cosmicomics

PREMIERE⚡️DJ City - Pillars of Creation [Uncanny Valley]

India-based label and collective, Padmini Records are proud to announce their first offering in the form of ‘Yaar–Dost vol. 01’,
a compilation of some of the country’s finest purveyors of dance music.
‘Yaar–dost’ is an age-old phrase that literally translates to ‘friends, buddies’ (or thereabouts). Padmini is built around this rather simple concept — to create a community that is truly welcoming, a consortium of ideas, and a safe space to share knowledge openly.

An undulating journey through the varied landscape of India’s rave scene, the compilation is designed to be heard as an album. Beginning with the meditative musings of Hiranya, the album turns to the broken beat explorations of Oceantied, 8-Bit Culprit and Mutable Mercury, before finally building up to the hypnotic grooves of Angus 12, OX7GEN & Inspector Maal.
‘Yaar–Dost’ is an invitation to move; to see the world with the clarity that only a 4 am dancefloor epiphany can provide.

PREMIERE : 8 Bit Culprit - Flutter

Coming via fresh London based imprint What About Never, 'Tape One' by Valerie From The Galerie is filled with quality pastel hued and sun soaked grooves, the sort of vibe that can inject life into sun fatigued limbs for a low tempo dance floor shakedown or soundtrack poolside people watching alike.
