Love the combination with these Melbourne field recordings mate

@jonnynash: OMDayz, I haven't heard this O Yuki Conjugate choon for ages :) Thanks for bringing it all back!

For our first party in Milan, Suzanne Kraft will no doubt assume his role as one of LA's finest dancefloor forces – but there's a dreamier side to his output.  His forthcoming record, 'Talk From Home', is a gentle downturn into floaty Balearia – all soft melodies, melancholic tones and pillow-light percussion. It's a diversion due in no small part to Kraft's affiliation with London artist Jonny Nash and his label Melody as Truth (on which the record is being released) – an  ultra-distinctive imprint born out of improvised jams with Kraft, Young Marco, Gigi Masin, among others. 

Just in time for summer, Kraft has kindly thrown together a mix in homage to his latest creative meanderings – a toast to Melody as Truth, featuring exclusive cuts from his new EP and also from Jonny Nash himself. Peep the tracklist in full below.

"This mix is a semi-candid snapshot of what I listen to at home and where I was at when recording the MAT record. It's comprised of tracks I was listening to a lot during that month as well as a couple from Jonny (solo & w/ Gaussian Curve) and a couple of my own from the record itself. I hope this serves as a decent introduction to not just 'Talk From Home' but to Melody As Truth (or at least my idea of MAT) as well."

To wrap up our @Antinote-Records takeover this week, we found time to sit down with the big boss man, @Zaltan-Dance to discuss the current French music scene, mainstream boundaries and he takes up the age old discussion of which audio format is best (I think we already know the answer!!)

Second Sight

Second Sight - Debut Album Preview (GOOD-10)

The first in a series of 100% Wax sets for LN-CC from SLIP-D over on the HYPNOELECTRONIX imprint. The mix is a back-catalogue of inspirations from the late 80’s and 90’s UK House and Techno landscape as well as influences from club nights at venues like The Riverside, Empire, Pleasure Rooms and the hedonistic Rockshots. Capturing the energy of the deeper and slower sounds from warm-up sets that have resonated with him, SLIP-D fuses this with an amalgamation of new and old samples to create his raw and distinctive sound. The HYPNOELECTRONIX NO.1 record will be available online and in the LN-CC library from May. @hpnxmusic

LN-CC Store Mix 067 - SLIP-D

It's with great pleasure to welcome long time dear friend Jonny Nash (@jonnynash) who in 2019 released 'Make A Wilderness' with us (MFM037). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hey Jonny, welcome to the series. So, it's already been over a year ago since Make A Wilderness came out. How do you look back on that now? 

JN: In many ways Make A Wilderness marked the start of a new chapter for me, the first steps into new territory - a wilderness you could say! That record was really about exploring a simple question - what kind of sounds resonate with me, and why. I think the record was primarily an exercise in sound, and not necessarily in arrangements or songwriting. I felt it was necessary to open the doors to new sounds in this record, and I feel like I got pretty close to creating the album that I wanted to make. 

MFM: You went to different places to record specific instruments and in certain environments. Why? 

JN: It took me a long time to make the record, not in terms of actually writing the music, but determining what the instrumentation should be. I wanted a finely balanced mix of alien, unfamiliar sounds and organic human sounds, to somehow express a feeling of “ancient future”, the sense of floating in some timeless space that could be millions of years in the past or in the future. I found that the Cristal Baschet, was perfect for expressing this feeling of “deep time”. Capable of beautiful harmonics and also wonderful atonal textures, it was a central part of the album. I contrasted these sounds with familiar instruments such as piano, vibraphone and voice. It was very important to have some sparse elements of voice in the record to somehow keep it grounded on earth. 

MFM: Have you always been that interested in sound and sound sculpturing?

JN: Well, I’m a naturally curious person and I think my brain and also my ears are always developing and learning new things. I think that I am able to hear sound in a different way than I did a few years ago. A big switch from focussing on melody as the dominant element that catches my attention. Of course, melody is still a central element for me but I now spend alot of time thinking about timbre, the colour of the sound and how the distinctive character of a sound sits in context with other sounds in a given composition. New ways of hearing influenced the record and took me to a place where “sound sculpting” was of equal importance as deciding what chords and melodies to choose. 

MFM: You mentioned earlier that the past couple of months your label Melody As Truth got a lot support through digital sales. Does that have effect on your label vision and strategy?

JN: The switch towards digital and especially streaming does undoubtedly have an effect on how I think as a label owner. It is pretty clear that this is an important area of growth and although there are lots of issues with certain platforms and revenue models, I find it important to keep on top of what is going on and try to adapt. In the future I can see the label experimenting more with digital only releases, I think there are interesting areas to explore here. Quiet dynamic music cut on vinyl in 2020 often sounds worse than a WAV file to my ears. I also buy hardly any vinyl myself these days, it is expensive, taxing on the environment and often a form of object fetishism. The other side is that a physical object looks amazing, can sound great, gives full importance to the artwork and design, can be treasured and won’t be lost. So a physical object is almost like an insurance policy for not losing the music too. I guess I’m sitting somewhere in the middle.

MFM: Thanks for contributing your mix. Can you tell us a bit about it?
 
JN: The mix is pretty much a selection of music I have been enjoying or discovered this year. A few older favourites too. I had no idea except to make something that I would enjoy listening to whilst having a walk or reading in the morning.
