Play On Records is proud to present Flashed Glass, a new record from electronic duo Sleep D and mixed chamber ensemble Ad Lib Collective. Culminating from a two-year project borne out of a live collaboration in a Melbourne underground carpark, the LP marries the euphoria of the concert hall and the club, presenting a rich sonic universe for the listener to discover. 

Having first been introduced at rehearsals for Play On’s 6th series in late 2018, the two groups hit it off, opting to perform a semi-improvised set together, rather than two separate sets as originally planned. They soon realised their pairing could unlock sounds they wouldn’t have otherwise found on their own, and their idea for further collaboration was born. 

Because Flashed Glass didn’t use formal notation in the creation process, this resulted in charts and maps to plot out each track. This influenced the artists’ sonic interpretations of vast open spaces, dystopian landscapes and expansive journeys. What’s culminated is a record that combines spacious, repetitive, ambient electronica with the gentle, lilting woodwinds, strings and acoustic percussion of modern classical. 

In March 2020, the two groups recorded at Head Gap studios in Preston — layering sounds, building melodies, and striking out what didn’t work — until the COVID-19 pandemic cut things short, twice, due to Melbourne’s dual lockdowns. This resulted in an accidental hybrid work, finishing as a mix of live professional recordings, and DIY home-recorded samples, with the latter including crushed plastic and pulverised sea shells. 

This marks the first release of Play On Records, a Melbourne-based label exploring the intersection of acoustic and electronic music. This release is available on vinyl and digital download.

Well, this one's a bit good! Mix #56 is here and we're excited to present it: 

Abigail Ward is a queer DJ, artist and musician from Lancashire, UK. She's a close family friend of us here at GGHQ, and we're psyched to have this blinding mix from her to share. 

She thrives on creating absorbing multi-genre musical road trips that are guaranteed to elicit an emotional response, be that on a dancefloor, at an art gallery or in your headphones. Twelve years as a counter jockey in Manchester’s best-loved independent record shops, Piccadilly Records, Vinyl Exchange and Kingbee, inspired her open-eared eclecticism. Abs is a well-schooled crate digger, she excels at stitching together oddball tunes from disparate sources and is not afraid to slice up tracks in software in pursuit of the perfect audio collage.

Her abiding musical passions include rare soundtracks, krautrock, deep soul and reggae, and she is equally at ease banging out underground house in a sweaty club, or live-streaming an ambient set from her studio in Hulme. The thread that runs through all of her musical selections is a sense of mystery, melody and a certain voodoo groove. Abigail is a co-founder of Suffragette City, an annual large-scale club event celebrating female, trans and non-binary DJ talent, which raises funds for local grass roots charities.

Luke Unabomber(Electric Chair, Homoelectric, Homobloc) described her thus:
‘She’s like a young Mancuso. Her selections are insanely magical. She’s got that thing. You can’t contrive that or buy or replicate it. It’s deeply esoteric and natural and perfectly balanced. One of the unsung heroes.’

A Dub Techno Journey is a compilation that traverses Dantes circles of Hell, transforming them into hypnotic and profound soundscapes. Each track represents a canto from Dantes Inferno, interpreted by producers from different parts of the world, united by a shared sensitivity for dub techno vibrations. The idea was conceived by Francesco Tamburrano, who envisioned a musical journey blending literature and sonic exploration, and took shape through the collaboration with the label Superordinate, always attentive to visionary projects with an international scope. The result is a dark and immersive path, where enveloping basslines and deep echoes guide the listener on a sonic pilgrimage through Dantes Inferno.

Very quickly after releasing the first Clyde Built compilation, we knew we had to do another one; the response from the artists involved and thousands who checked out the comp itself was so encouraging that we couldn't wait to do it again!

This time around we set out to replicate the high quality and diverse range of music with an entirely different cast of contributing artists and projects and we’re very excited to share the results with you.

It’s worthwhile mentioning that the vast majority of these tracks are unsigned - many don’t even have artist pages - so if anyone is interested in releasing either the music featured or speaking to one of the artists in question, please don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@huntleyspalmers.com and we’ll put you in touch.

Much love and thanks to all involved; Claudia, Murray, Maria, Joel and Gordon at GLARC, Sean, Niall, Lewis, Michael, Gary, Marshall, Tara, Matt, Conal, Stewart, Chris, Tom, Ryan, Matty, Jamie, Rodolfo, Jonathan, Laurie and Ollie, Lewis, Murray, Tony, Jonny and Rory.

Jennifer Touch - Behind the Wall

When Jennifer was a child, her parents had thrown parties in the attic, dancing the night away listening to their favourite krautrock songs. “My parents were GDR flower-power children, forced to live in a repressed society, behind this wall. The song just came out of me and whilst writing it I realised why I make music and where it comes from. It comes from my childhood in East Germany. It comes from that attic.”

Voigt & Voigt – Mülheim Deluxe 1

Mülheim Deluxe is a musical project by the Voigt-brothers Reinhard and Wolfgang. It has its roots in the largest district of Cologne on the right bank of the Rhine: Mülheim. To get there, one has to cross the Mülheim bridge. To some extent, Mülheim is the Brooklyn of Cologne.

The seven tracks on the digital album »Mülheim Deluxe 1« vary between the Voigt & Voigt typical fun-techno-bangers, known from their Kompakt Extra/Speicher or Erdingertrax releases, and some abstract-minimalistic surrealism of Pop. While partying with the ghosts of the Internet’s pop-cinema, genres and rules of taste are annulled; men and machines are pushed to the limits of creative foolishness.

Thank you! Mülheimer Freiheit für alle.

Today there seems to be only one subject on the minds of everyone and it would be a fool’s errand to not address it. Today, however, is also the focus of something much better, something worth many more words, a subject which we are deeply in-debt to for peace of mind and sometimes, a raison d’etre. 

The Dutch collective and Delayed favorite, known as De Lichting is breaking into 2020 with an offering by one of its members, Queniv. Those of you paying attention may remember we also featured Boris Acket’s Znton release back in 2019 and I hope, very much so in fact, that they continue this string of individual releases.

Releases which bring us to De Lichting’s latest, Redesign and our premiere of ‘Viba’. Out on the 21st of March, Queniv has maintained his signature style of blending a multitude of musical elements into what I’d like to fondly quote, “a highly recommended party pack for a wide range of DJ's”. The mark of a great track or tracks for that matter is their ability to fit in many situations and in this case, I’d say Queniv nailed it.

Discos Movimiento Podcast 07: Crjs

When you find DJ Sotofett and Telephones on remix duties for the mighty Joan Bibiloni it’s sure to be a treat. For the 22nd installment in the saft series, two of Bibiloni’s greatest numbers from ‘Born’ (1989), are re-imagined for the occasion.

Sotofett opens up the A side with an extended version of Bibiloni’s ‘El Sur’. Clocking in just under twelve minutes, the so-called ‘mastermix’ is a version in the vein of the extended disco singles from the era of the original. Sotofett’s supernatural dancefloor touch centers around Bibiloni’s guitar-licks that gently slide along and communicate with the other elements of the original. This is a version to close a night with - or better yet - to close a summer set just before
sundown.

The B side contains a reworked version of ‘Sa Fosca’ by another Norwegian artist: Telephones. ‘Telephones Coastal Dub’, is another lengthy endeavor. The ten (and something) minutes long venture keeps in line with the Mallorcan character of the Bibiloni sound, while giving it a subtle touch of dancefloor, complete with the signature lead of the original as the focal point. The extensive intro and the balance between breeziness and firmness is sharply done and will make sure that the version can find its way into numerous settings.
