Perth-based artist lia t has an ear for capturing quotidian detail and making it feel special. At the very end of 2020, she released sketches222 on Deep Water, a collection of wistful ambient etudes that contained dozens of field recordings, mostly taken during the producer’s time in Osaka. Earlier that year, she also collaborated with Copenhagen-based artist Perko on mini-album highlight ‘Grounds’, a stunning 2-minute snapshot of the inimitable sounds that make up the city.

Her latest release, and opening track on Music Company's forthcoming Vector Fields Vol. 3 compilation, is a little different. Whereas ‘Grounds’ channelled the hum of the urban environment, ‘Sweetapple Lane’ is a more celestial affair—the aural equivalent of an aeroplane ride through a cloud. The track opens with a field recording of passing traffic but it quickly dissipates. Gradually, the piece thickens; the synths intensify and several other electronic elements drift in and out. It’s a noticeable expansion in scope from the producer’s music to date but it doesn’t sacrifice any of the intimacy that makes both sketches222 and ‘Grounds’ feel so personal. It’s more like being able to listen to someone’s thoughts as they fall into a daydream. That sense of reverie is heightened by lia’s clever use of field recordings. The producer bookends the track with them. In the last 30 seconds, she reintroduces one—this time nearer water or a beach—to bring the track slowly back down to earth. It’s these familiar, everyday sounds that add to the song’s quiet grandeur; they make it that much easier to get lost in its many overlapping folds.

lia t - ‘Sweetapple Lane’ is from Music Company’s Vector Fields Vol. 3, out May 28th. All proceeds will go to Firesticks.

Beep Tzt - Split

The jungle was thick and dense, a deep sea of green engulfed their pathway as they wandered between tall trees, wild shrubbery and delicate flowers. It was warm in the midst of the forest, they had been told it might be by those who had come before them. From time to time the wild songs of birds would echo and dance amidst the leaves up above, there were no creatures to be seen but they were certainly there, watching over them as they passed through the thick. Soon the sun would set upon this remarkable place, they would be plunged into darkness as the wild things danced all around. 

Pandit Pam Pam is the moniker of São Paulo electronic artist, Eduardo Ramos. He is set to release a new record on Music Company, a dreamy experimental collection of synthesizer focussed tracks for deep listening. He describes the record as follows...

“I recorded mostly in deep summer in the countryside. Surrounded by trees and lots of sun. I was looking through the window at a small gathering of lemon trees and orange trees.”

PREMIERE: Pandit Pam Pam -  Bondade [Music Company]

A seasoned selector in her homebase of Naarm/Melbourne, Jazz (@spaceswithinspace) is a rising presence in the electronic music scene at large. A regular fixture on the radio (as PBS 106.7FM ‘Spaces Within Space’ host and resident on both Skylab and Hope Street) as well as in the booth at countless parties and events, her creative mixing style and quirky, always on-point selections have seen her become a much-loved contributor to the bustling Naarm/Melbourne scene.

Expertly blending bleepy synthesisers, broken percussion and playful psychedelia, Jazz’s Patterns of Perception 84 is a perfect snapshot of her idiosyncratic style and taste. Recorded on a dark and rainy morning during Melbourne’s recent fifth lockdown, this set steers Jazz's musical narrative into a dark, dystopian direction, offering an energetic interpretation of the unpredictable reality that we find ourselves in.

Patterns of Perception 84 - Jazz

Artist: Pandit Pam Pam
Track: Radio
Label: https://soundcloud.com/musiccompanyco
Format: Digital, LP
Release date: 26/8/21
Purchase: https://panditpampam.bandcamp.com/album/quinto-relat-rio-anual

‘Quinto Relatório Anual’ is the latest release from São Paulo electronic artist, Pandit Pam Pam. The follow up album to his 2020 EP, ‘Quarto Relatório Anual’.  The artist uses much of the same instrumentation, intuition and improvisation more commonly found in performance than cut to tape. 
The two titles are inspired by Throbbing Gristle’s influential 1977 ‘Second Annual Report’, one of the first known examples of the industrial genre. ‘Quarto Relatório Anual’ and ‘Quinto Relatório Anual’ were recorded in the Brazilian countryside, away from the busyness and complexity of  São Paulo life.
'I recorded mostly in deep summer in the countryside. Surrounded by trees and lots of sun. I was looking through the window at a small gathering of lemon trees and orange trees.'
The eight track release straddles  ambient and post-club, the collection feels bucolic and futuristic at once.
'This record is full of mistakes. But I think this is life. I’d rather have those mistakes printed on tape, [over] a very pristine thing going on. Everything is too perfect nowadays and the beauty of life and nature is chance, mistakes, and randomness.'
Recorded to tape using his 25-year-old Tascam 442 4-track, Pandit Pam Pam manipulated the k7 tape in search of new depths of tone. The result is a beatless, ambient, distortion filled release - an ode to isolation, missing friends and long conversations.

Interior Music is an ongoing series which collects long form compositions intended for sleep, meditation, relaxation and enjoyment.

All releases in the series will be 'name your price'. All supporter payments for this music (minus bandcamp/paypal fees) will be donated to charity. For the moment, that charity is the Dhadjowa Foundation.

The Dhadjowa Foundation is being established to provide strategic, coordinated and culturally appropriate support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families whose loved ones have died in custody.

We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work; The Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We would like to recognise that sovereignty was never ceded in so-called Australia and that we are all on stolen land that always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. 

PHENOMENA is a record label based in both Naarm/Melbourne and London. Our debut release celebrates rising stars in the local Naarm scene such as SLAMROSS 1000 and RBI as well as launching first releases for up and coming artists Izzy Locke, Zara and GEX. 

This compilation delivers ten unconventional club tracks by Australian and international artists, curated and refined to illustrate our unique perspective of contemporary dance music. We search for those who share an appetite for original and uncharted sounds, and those who foster the greater music community. 

The compilation is a fundraiser for charity, with all profit from bandcamp going to Black Rainbow.

Format: Digital, LP
Release date: 11/11/21
Purchase: 

'Music For Friends And Family’ is the first full-length release from Australian born artist and composer, mjwilkin.
Spanning pop, drone, electronic and ambient, the release thoughtfully, and effortlessly pushes experiential boundaries, creating an immense soundscape for the listener to delve into.
“Music For Friends And Family [is] a collage of tracks written and refined across ten years and as many cities. A time capsule pulled from laptops, harddrives, studios and field recordings to document time spent with beautiful people in beautiful places.” 
An amalgamation of collected times, feelings and places, ‘Music For Friends And Family’ is a sonic offering for contemplation and escapism heard through the auditory lens of solo explorations and collaborations with vocalists Douglas Hume, and Ruven.
“This record is for anyone with a good heart and a wandering mind, may it become a canvas for your nostalgia as it has mine.”
