They are building a house, half a block down. And I sit up here, with the shades down. Listening to the sounds, the hammers pounding in nails, thack, thack, thack, thack. And then I hear the birds, and thack thack thack, and I go to bed.
Charles Bukowski makes poignant poetry out of seemingly mundane things. It’s simple and considered as much as it is dark. The Fairlight House EP has the same appeal. Simple ideas that communicate with one another. The title track opens with strong drums and hypnotic arps. The bass enters and the track slowly builds towards the main synth line, reminiscent of the Fairlight CMI digital synthesiser.
Modulearic passes around motifs with just the right amount of space between them, offering tension and release throughout. Deep bass hits, swirling synths and strong drums make this one ideal for late nights and dark rooms.
The closing track Deephour Dimension gives the listener more open melodies and hypnotic background synths, this time with a broken beat backbone.

PREMIERE | Herzel & Metropolitan Soul Museum - Deephour Dimension [Polymath] 2021

He held a hollow gaze from the window, looking out over the world and the delicate unease of humanity. Here in his room he was safe from harm and could not be threatened or touched by the venomous poison of civilisation. He was quite happy up here, surrounded by technology and buzzing wires. For this was his den, his original cell, in which he was able to make wild, magical things happen. The very connection of others depended on him and his choices when pressing each button. He could foil it all...

Projections release a new EP on their own imprint Ritual Release. The pair have a stunning legacy in dance and electronic music having released a plethora of material over the years - their latest outing is very special indeed. The release comes with a remix from Khidja.

Whiskey Pickle has been a fan of the mysterious synthy slippery dance floor compositions of Sol Glissant since we first heard them via kindred spirit label Denied Music. We were delighted to find out that Sol Glissant is actually a pseudonym of techno wizard Jason Short who came up via the San Francisco underground electronic music scene. Jason has appeared previously on Whiskey Pickle contributing a remix on WP034 Blue Soul - "Litmus Test Part 2". Here we offer up some of Jason's more recent leftfield cuts paired with a dynamite remix from Indoor Man of Hallucienda. Enjoy!

PREMIERE : Sol Glissant - Space Paint

It's dark in the forest. Especially in the »northwest«. You have to adjust all your senses. But once you have, the forest will take you in his arms. The forest will protect you. Just like Daniel Herrmann's first album for Live At Robert Johnson will protect you.

Herrmann is far from being unknown in the world of music - let alone in the art or photography world. In the music field, he is probably much more known under his Flug 8 moniker where he released five albums on Disko B, Doxa Records, Ransom Note, and Acid Pauli's Smaul Recordings. Under his given name, Daniel Herrmann's relationship with LARJ's label boss Ata Macias goes way back. As an artist and photographer Herrmann was the only one allowed to take pictures inside Ata's ROBERT JOHNSON club, thus creating an iconic series of pictures of clubbers and club life in general. Herrmann’s pictures of the partying punters themselves were presented as wallpaper all over Robert Johnson back in 2002.

With »Enroute« Herrmann enters new territory: It is his most ambient work up to today. And yes, it is a piece of work created during the lockdown. Herrmann's studio is situated in the outskirts of Frankfurt, near the forest - a quite remote place already in-between the Taunus mountain range. Imagine life during the lockdown in such a place … This is where Herrmann set up his former basement studio in the large living room with a variety of instruments besides a cozy fireplace spending warm light and warmth. A warmth that despite its seemingly rather "cold" atmosphere can be heard all over »Enroute«. Once you soak in the sounds (or get soaked into the sounds) of the first tracks like album opener »northwest«, »Fly By Wire« or the 11min »Dark Trace« you might feel this warmth too. A cold warmth you could say, yet a warmth that only modular systems and synthesizers can create.

There is a change of mood with »Intercontinental« - literally as it seems that Herrmann indeed is on an intercontinental journey here despite the strolls and long walks in silence through the Taunus forest. This is also the place where Herrmann took many photographs of the forest and its trees (to be seen on his Instagram account) - and the picture on the cover: This spooky yet fragile high seat in the mist in front of those trees. Yet darkness alone is not dominating this album. Even during these dark days, there was a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. And it shows in the beauty of »Bouncing Rays«.

»Enroute« is done all alone and in total isolation. And one can hear it. But it also invites the listener to be a part of this lonely world. And we all know that being lonely is made easier with someone on your side - »enroute« to a better place. A place that isn't lonely at all.

PS: For all digital music lovers we have included two bonus tracks: The GLOK remix of »Bouncing Rays« and Herrmann's clattering and creaking tune »Economy« - enjoy!

Flug 8 - Enroute LP - Snippet

Motive: Cosmos Edition

We are starting off Tigersushi’s 20 year anniversary celebrations with a compilation of unreleased demos from our roster. 

We thought it’s a good way to give a snapshot of what Tigersushi has been throughout those 20 years, demos being the most direct and honest form of recorded music. Some of those tracks date back to 2001, like Joakim’s Pom Pom, some are fairly recent like Katerina’s Night 4 Day but the real consistency here lies in the refusal of being categorized, there’s a surprisingly seamless flow while we travel between genres (Indie Pop, lo-fi Folk, raw House, Electronica, Ambient) and that is Tigersushi’s DNA. 

No bullshit, no trend hopping, just really talented artists who care about their craft more than their career. We want to celebrate those people and hope you will too.
