Kate Stein - Mystic Saddle Ranch (Inc. Autarkic, Balam remixes)
Release date : 13 may 2021
Label: Playground Records (https://soundcloud.com/playgroundrecords)

Australian raised, New York based producer Kate Stein makes her debut on Playground Records with ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ a powerful Ep full of hypnotic rhythms and beautiful landscapes, composed by 2 original mixes accompanied by high caliber remixes from Autarkic and Balam.
‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ begins like a train barreling from far away with staccato arpeggios and modulations; like horns warning that it is in a hurry and the energy will not stop. Sensual and seductive at the same time, the track builds with an elegant current of sound. This takes us back to the beginning of electronic sounds, reminiscent of I Feel Love. The glam of Studio 54 crossover with some acid slow electro makes for an irresistible dance ripped dress.
The second track is called ‘Hi-Lo Motel’ and it gets more serious. A bouncing synth marks out a crossover bass with modulations seeping back and forth in alien tone. A smooth and rarefied flight, ecstatic, stealthy and nostalgic.
Autarkic remixes ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ by twisting it with a lot of funk machine. A hoarse, scratchy bass grooves recklessly as a dirty, dragged snare beats his side. Cowbells rattle for flavor as acid modulations elusively intersect. Pads of mystery take us to a break
that is quickly attacked again by the bass to unleash a brazen and shrewd dance.
Balam gives his own perspective about ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ closing the Ep and doing what he does best, mixing synthetic tribalism of acid modulations and frenetic percussion. His bass, his personal mark, pushes incessantly and cadency. He takes us on a sinuous and enchanting journey while chords scatter us through an open space towards infinity.

Aguonėlė (Poppy) was a name of a child who lived somewhere in the fields of Lithuania with her grandparents. The fable says Aguonėlė was haunted by a tricky wolf who kidnapped her and carried into the woods. 
We called a few people we love and showed them the sample of the story that later was used to create this EP. All of them agreed to participate in the ways they could. 
This release was created by the artists, who became personal favourites since the time we met. As a channel, party series, podcast, and freshly formed label, we’re glad to gather those who participated, inspired, and helped us in one way or another. 
Inside you’ll find fine breaks and trance, wavy delics and music to dance. From drum n bass to techno, a bit of house and some downtempo. 
Also, as briefly mentioned above, it’s a debut release for our small group of people who think, share and cooperate for the sake of this project being. 
It’s varied but integral. 
Same, same as us.

THIS IS THE SIXTH UNRELEASED RECORD, COMPOSED IN 2018. THE RECORD ITSELF LEANED INTO A MORE POP FRIENDLY FEEL ON SOME TRACKS BUT I ALSO THINK SOME OF THE STRANGEST SONGS ARE ON THIS RECORD. 

UPSIDE/DOWN

Flashback City

As he walked through the long grass he made sure to pay special attention to the peace and quiet which hung prominently in the air. There was not one sound to be heard in the park, all of the people had gone home for the day and now he was blessed with the opportunity to walk in solitude between the tall trees and the shadowy groves. He took in the nuances of the environment, the small things and the beauty of the individual flowers and greenery amidst what was a celebration for the senses. This was paradise. 

Invisible Inc. will be celebrating five years this May, a wonderful feat for a small label which has punched well above its weight having released some truly stunning music in recent times. The next release on the label is a celebration of the clubbier side of the imprint, this track is from Puma & the Dolphin, a slow moving textured affair for the discerning dancer.

PREMIERE: Puma & the Dolphin - Nuances [Invisible Inc.]

PREMIERE : Bogdan - Drunken Swagga

Three years in the making only to be held up almost another year due to COVID and now finally seeing the light of day, is this brooding monster of a record by Brussels based Strapontin, aka multi-disciplinary artist Patrick Belmont.

Clocking in at over 35-minutes the record is almost album length and spans a multitude of depths and moods with elements of techno, new wave, rock 'n' roll, house and tribal…...all glued together with a uniquely sleazy atmosphere.

Add to this a heads-down-no-nonsense darkroom beast of a remix by techno maestro Sascha Funke and the package is complete.

Strapontin provides us with some insight:
“It started with a desire to move away a bit from my 'dancefloor' side and go into more undefined fields, I wanted to work with blurry sensations that I can't understand. I like mixed feelings. Dramatex 300 is made of that ambivalent mood. The voice is saying 'I'm feeling empty' and 'I'm feeling healthy' at the same time. I like that paradox. Eunuque is a song but is also a character I will develop in a short movie (which will act as the 'music video' of the song). The Eunuque is a character full of anger yet he doesn't want to fight nor has he a target to aim at. A restrained aggressivity is boiling inside him/it that has no opportunity to escape from the body and gain release. The song is the fever he feels from these inner battles. I think Le Bain d'Huile and Anti-sceptical have the same slow and angry feeling. I'm proud of these tracks because they are a bit mysterious to me and it feels like they controlled me more than I controlled them.”

This Album, a child of the Shelter Me Festival in December 2020, is in Aid of Shelter UK and the
wonderful work they do to helping people with homelessness or difficult housing conditions.
The Festival took place over 3 days, across the 3 cities of Manchester, London and Leeds, and
several of the artists who performed live at the event have contributed to this production too.
The track used for the project is entitled Shake Up Your Mind by Steady State which contains a
vocal sample of Ofra Haza from her song entitled Im Nin Alu. All remixes were created with the
greatest love and respect, with one common goal, to help others less fortunate than ourselves
through music, unity and genuine will to make a positive change.
Each and every one of the artists, producers and mastering services have generously given their
time freely to create a unique album of 21 remixes, spanning a colourful musical spectrum from
Dense Dark Dubbiness, through Timeless Techno and Uplifting Acid, to Squelchy Squalid
Chuggers.
This is a limited release set for 05.03.21 with all proceeds going the Shelter Uk.
All of us at Shelter Me would like to thank everyone who has helped, supported and contributed
along the way.

Big love,
Ed Tomlinson, Ells Bells, John Paynter, Julie-Ann Smith & Stephen Molyneux
