Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

We are thankful for their meticulous work, especially to Dietrich for enlisting his fellow engineers to help with the massive remix load, 44 tracks are definitely too much for one person to listen to in such a short span.

Vol.3

A Strange Light (Frank Butters Remix)

Before he co-founded the legendary Sunday afternoon event Body & Soul with fellow New York DJs Danny Krivit and Francois Kevorkian in 1996, Joaquin "Joe" Claussell was the driving force behind Instant House, an eclectic production outfit who released a series of uplifting deep house records, several of which were spun by David Mancuso at the 90s iteration of his influential Loft parties. 

In 1993, Instant House released their deepest single, Lost Horizons, through Jungle Sounds Recordings. The A-side, ‘Lost Horizons (The Mind Travel Saturday Night Sunday Morning Mix)’ is a seventeen-minute and twenty-second sojourn into the vibrant club sounds of early 90s NYC. Driven by a Latin-accented man-machine beat that marches into infinity, it comes backed by two shorter mixes, ‘Lost Horizons’ and ‘Lost Horizons (Percussion Bonus)’. Twenty-nine years later, Isle of Jura presents an official vinyl and digital reissue of this slow-burning deep cut. 

The Instant House story begins in the late 80s at Dance Tracks, an East Village record store established by the businessman, DJ, and graphic designer Stan Hatzakis. Patronised by New York trendsetters like Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan, Dance Tracks was considered one of the world's best underground dance music retailers. 

During the winter of 1991, Stan got together with one of his best customers, Tony Confusione, to make music. A wall street guy by day and a keyboardist by night, Tony was also a serious DJ. Not long after their first recording sessions, they invited another Dance Tracks fixture, Joaquin "Joe" Claussell, to join them in Tony’s state-of-the-art home studio in Long Island. He brought a vibrant, percussive edge to the sample-based tracks Stan and Tony were cooking up. Emboldened, the three DJs began recording together as Instant House. That year, they released the Dance Trax EP. 

In 1992, after Instant House had dropped two certified classics, 'Over' and 'Awade', for Jungle Sounds Records, Stan exited the group and sold Dance Tracks to Joe and his business partner, Stefan Prescott. Following Stan's departure, Joe and Tony headed into the studio for a special recording session. “I just remember how powerful the connection was while we were making that record,” explains Joe, recalling the creation of ‘Lost Horizons (The Mind Travel Saturday Night Sunday Morning Mix)’. “It was a very spiritual encounter in the studio.” 

While laying out the drum patterns, sound effects, and arrangement, Joe explained the vibe to Tony, who played the lush cosmic chords and an effortless keyboard saxophone line over the top. “That was Tony completely feeling himself,” Joe reflects. “He performed majestically.” 

After the release of the Lost Horizons 12”, Joe received a phone call from Cisco International Corp. A plane flight later, he was sitting in their label offices in Tokyo, talking to a senior record executive who wanted to introduce Lost Horizons to Japan. “What they were primarily doing at the time was pressing classical records - we’re talking thousand dollar plus classical reissues - and they wanted to license and distribute Lost Horizons,” Joe remembers. Three years later, Joe and Tony released 'Asking Forgiveness', their final 12” as Instant House, before parting ways with full hearts. 

In the context of his career as a DJ, remixer, and producer, Joe is known for long songs and compositions. As Lost Horizons illustrates, he’s carried that impulse with him since his foundational days. “When I produce, I don’t believe in the beginning or endpoint of anything,” Joe explains. “I really despise the rules. To me, that’s not true to the art of creation. I just believe there is a flow in creation. When we were making music in the 90s, we were restricted by format, but that record could have gone on forever.” 

The 12” is housed in a full sleeve jacket by Bradley Pinkerton based on the original release design.

Especial welcomes the return of Akio Nagase, Osaka’s own 303 specialist, with a second EP of acid infused world music. After the success of his Asia orientated debut, here his ethno-inspired dance comes to and from Africa, the mother. 

With a history of making reggae influenced electronics under the Makedub alias, his development to acid master continues to showcase a skill at fusing samples, effects and found sound in a dub-desk mix that is body moving and catchy in one. 

With a mission to bring the music of the world closer, Acid Maasai Collecthiv sets the scene with TB 303 weaving around dub heavy bass, crossing the Athi river, seeking singers to raise spirits and bind. Countries and continents are tribes and with a reopening world, the dance should encompass all; open minds to bring unity. 

This is exemplified on the ethereal Morisyen Acid. Sound design, Mauritian samples - creole vibrating perfectly with Akio’s acid work and simple but effective “predominately” repetitive beats to uplift like the Tamarind sunrise. 

Acid mantra as mind-gateway continues with Serengeti Summer. An heir to Whoktish, this is not reggae. 808 and 303 in harmony; a jam of man, machine and samples to bring today’s ethno-blue storytelling through consciousness. 

Closing is Jua, interweaving the fabric of life, passing down from generations the primal with the psychedelic beat to communal gathering, Akio presents the music with love and respect.

Taken from "Secret Circuit - Green Mirror LP (Invisible, Inc.)". Out April 10th 2023. Buy here : https://secretcircuit.bandcamp.com/album/green-mirror

Very pleased to announce that after some very long delays the long-awaited double album of new music by Secret Circuit is finally landing next month.

The album is comprised of 21 tracks of new material, 82 minutes of music, all gleaned and distilled down from around 60 demos recorded between 2020 and 2022.

Some of these demos were sent under the name E Ruscha V, others as Only Thingz, but Invisible Inc wanted to capture a sound of Ruscha's that was outside of these in some way: a sound somewhere between the cosmic, otherworldy music of Secret Circuit and the warmer, earthier music of E Ruscha V and the ambient side of Only Thingz, yet which tried to capture both the more emotive AND more experimental side of this prolific and extremely talented producer. A paradox perhaps but it seems we've managed it. Very rarely do we hear modular synths doing something so human sounding... and when juxtaposed alongside slide guitars, live bass and vocodered vocals, we have something very special indeed. Needless to say, it seemed 100% appropriate to release this music under the Secret Circuit name.
A highpoint for the label in 2023, no doubt.
___________

The album comes housed in a full colour reverse board sleeve featuring original artwork by Eddie Ruscha and comes with a colour double-sided insert with liner notes (written in reverse so you'll need a mirror to read them, of course) and more of Eddie's drawing.
Vinyl costs are extremely high at the moment, due to materials going up in price, but we will try and have this special package retailing for as low as possible to make this affordable for as many as possible...namely just £24 (you'll see single disc LP's selling for this price these days).

Puma & The Dolphin’s debut record, the Primitive EP, focuses on firedance grooves, exotic percussion along with a dub and post-punk approach and is coming out on Montreal's @chambrenoirerecords. Also included is a stunning remix by cult producer Michal Turtle. P&TD is a Bulgarian producer based in Sofia. 

The EP opens with this wild chugger. Layering jungle sounds with loose hand percussion, the mood is at the crossroads between Latin and oriental influences. As the track progresses, the rhythmic section is enriched by skippy snares and a variety of vocal samples, sweeps, and melodies, with undeniable firedance-inducing results.
