If we're talking about <i>Sea Levels</i>, then EP opener "Deep City" sees Melbourne-based producer @klokeuk emerge from a sub-oceanic plateau of disorienting crackle and outwardly pulsating detection blips into the first faint specks of daylight. 

The recent Red Bull Music Academy graduate creates an enveloping swirl of cyclical noise, gently guiding it towards the surface with ponderous dub bass and an unrelenting snare hiss. 

Kloke's distinct ex-pat view of the UK sound galaxy has been described as distilling "the urban groove and bucolic mood of his heritage through the vibrancy of his new environs into a wholly unique soundscape." On "Deep City", the promise holds true, as Kloke adventurously pieces together bits of shrubbery, making for a fascinating vivisection of slouching, dub-inflected, subaquatic house.

Sea Levels is out April 21st on @susrecords.

Kloke - Deep City

The British producer Ital Tek gives a rhythmic turn to Indian Wells' lush and hazy track appearing on his last Pause LP. Closer to his contemplative and melodic-driven efforts, his remix fits perfectly with the Italian producer spirit, adding the typical deep sub-bass he developed and might characterized his sonic identity.

We believe that « everything is a remix »

Remixes are a major part of the electronic music history. The club culture take off on remixes, some of the greatest dance hits where made from remixing original tracks.
Our primary purpose is to highlight this exercise by offering the opportunity to artists to either work on a remix of their choice or offer a track to be remixed by an artist they admire. It is overseen and curated by independent music lovers and supported by The Absolut Company, a brand that is permanently involved in the field of contemporary arts and creation with a tradition of supporting artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol. The Absolut Remix project is dedicated to the art of combining or editing existing materials, to produce something new.

As a start, every last Friday of the month, we will unveil a new remix, from a newcomer or a legend, from disco to techno or IDM and house music. And more to come...

'Games in the Yard (ft. Matilde Davoli)' was originally released on Indian Wells' LP Pause (Bad Panda Records) in March 2015

Glass Vaults - Bleached Blonde

'Take Them All' is the fourth single taken from my forthcoming album 'Make Up Your Own Stories', released on October 5th. 

I always like contrast within music; an array of elements that keeps a song diverse and unable to be specific on genre or style. Its what I wanted from this track, having fairly up front beats and basslines but with pretty and melancholic musical elements on top, along with the amazing vocal by The Slow Revolt! Its one of my favourite songs I've ever written, and goes on quite a journey.

Invisible Minds - Take Them All Feat. The Slow Revolt

'Mantra Moderne' is a stunning, contemporary masterpiece that fuses Anatolian Psychedelia, Brazilian Tropicalia, 60’s European pop and American jazz. A must for fans of Khruangbin, Portishead, Arthur Verocai, Goat, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Cortex and co.

The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album.

The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages: English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.

Dubbed by Kit and Merve as ‘lo-fi-hi-fi’ in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find its way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes its sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape: compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!

The deluxe edition of ‘Mantra Moderne’ features two previously unreleased tracks - ‘Kozmos' and 'Rain (باران)’. It also includes remixes of album tracks from Baris K, Halal Cool J, and Natureboy Flako (who also contributes an unreleased cover version of ‘Senden Baska’).

Tracklist:
1) Senden Başka
2) Mantra Moderne
3) Tyranny 20
4) Pangea
5) Kuytu
6) Yanımda Kal
7) Yürüdüm, Büyüdüm, Çürüdüm
8) With A Sense Of Grace
9) Durma
10) Kozmos
11) Rain (باران)
12) Durma (Baris K Dub)
13) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Remix)
14) Kit Sebastian vs Halal Cool J
15) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Cover)

Kit Sebastian - Rain (باران)

Make Up Your Own Stories is the debut album by Invisible Minds, and a title that couldn’t be more apt. Its creator, after all, is an acclaimed electronic adventurer writing an exciting new chapter of his own. When a sun-drenched swirl of child-like vocals, drum breaks and bright guitar jangles called ‘Yo Mae Leh’ hit the internet in late 2017, rocketing to half a million Spotify streams, no one knew it was the work of Tim Green, the UK dance innovator who’s pulsing rhythms and abyss-like synth murmurs have been making house and techno scene venue walls quake since 2008. Shining a light on a more melodic side to his musical personality, that track – and the others that sit alongside it on his effervescent debut album as Invisible Minds – are “honest and innocent and kinda searching for a feeling” as Green himself puts it. This album’s a story that’s been 12 years in the making – and it’s a story that proves well worth the wait.

Tims father – a keyboardist, who kept Tim’s family home flooded with the sound of artists like Pink Floyd and Joni Mitchell while he was growing up – often joked with Tim about making some “real music” as his house and techno flourished following breakout singles ‘Revox’ and ‘Mr Dry’. As the 34-year-old burrowed further into refined, clubby sounds under his own name, remixing the likes of Friendly Fires and Seth Troxler before being crowned Best Breakthrough Producer at the 2010 DJ Mag Awards, he wrote different kinds of anthems on the side: optimistic splashes of life-affirming electronica full of live instrumentation and infectious energy that, while not quite Pink Floyd, he laughs “should hopefully win my dad’s approval.”

From the guitar loop hypnotism of ‘Autum’ and breathy, balmy summer haze of ‘The Cut Girl’ (one of three tracks featuring newcomer vocalist Howard Hobbs) to the MPC hip-hop of ‘905 Users!’, it’s a record inspired by everyone from Peter Gabriel to Icelandic icon Bjork. Compiling all these songs written across such a long timespan, then working to turn them into a cohesive album, was a strange, surreal experience for Green: like looking back on old diary entries from across his entire adult life. “It’s funny – you go back to a particular track and can’t help but be transported back to where you were in your life when you wrote it,” he says. “There’s a lot of nostalgia in there.”

Nostalgic-sounding some songs may be, but Make Up Your Own Stories is future-focused in its production wizardry. Bit-crunched synth melodies grind up against deep bass squelches on epic closer ‘Take Them All’, the last track written for the album, while ‘Jump Jet’ feels every bit as soaring and propulsive as its title would suggest. “Just when you thought you could come out of the shadows, there comes that poison drizzle in your ear hole,” a ghostly vocal intones over its Radiohead-ish bed of guitar, atmospherics and experimental percussion. Making use of the original Moog Model D and Voyager synths plus world instruments picked up on his travels as an internationally celebrated electronic master – “there’s a Chinese toy piano, a mbira from Tanzania and a kora from somewhere in Africa, but I can’t remember where…” – its sound never stops evolving across its enveloping 11-track runtime.

It’s a new chapter that represents an ellipsis, rather than a full stop, on his work as Tim Green. “I’m not abandoning that side of what I do,” he says, having released his debut album under that guise earlier this year, in what’s turning into a whirlwind 2018 for the prolific producer. “I love how evocative the words Invisible Minds are, and was really attracted to the mystery of that phrase, which is how I landed on the name. It’s something I’d love to pursue and carry on. Hopefully it won’t take another 12 years to do the next one.” As Invisible Minds, on Make Up Your Own Stories, Tim Green’s story takes a glorious tangent.
