@orla_cd’s @cead_cd imprint returns for their sixth edition by once again treating listeners to some freshly unearthed talent, this time in the form of Glasgow’s @yungkamus. As with all Kamus productions, 'Kult' is packed with a rich and crisp spectrum of sound and space – drawing seamlessly on abstract elements of bass, techno and dubstep across an eclectic three-track EP.

CÉAD006 is rounded off by revved up bass-driven remix from Tenesse's @nikki-nair.

Unrivaled Groove Vol. I is a limited vinyl and digital compilation featuring 8 tracks from 10 artists — 5 from the U.S. and 5 from the UK — who come together to show that the connection between the US & UK Garage scenes is only growing stronger. Curated during quarantine, the record is a gorgeous mix of classic and forward-thinking styles, ranging from vocal-heavy, 90s-laden 2-step to NUKG, Breaks/D'n'B, and Bassline. While there is yearning in every one of these tracks — for live music, for community, the club, and even a dash of normalcy — there’s also an incredible amount of hope for what's currently upon us: the return of the rave. Luckily for us at Maison Fauna, Berwick is happy to provide for this return with experimental Breaks track, "La Flamingo." Berwick's unique analog and modular style gives his music an almost improvisational quality and a unique sense of life. When asked about the track, Berwick said, it's a "hug your mates in the woods, glitter all over your face" kind of track, and we can't help but agree.

PREMIERE : Berwick - La Flamingo

The fourteenth edition of SUW (SIde UP Works) literally comes from a parallel world which makes contact with ours through sound infiltrations from the Valencian producer Mundo D, who has shaped a musical channeling towards our simply brilliant reality. Sit back and prepare your mind to be delighted with a great P.E., not only because of the art of its creator, but also because of the two fantastic remixes by the Mexican Colossio and the Berlin-based Brazilian Celestino. Without more words, enjoy !!

Release date: 6 august 2021
Label: Reel Long Overdub (https://soundcloud.com/reellongoverdub)

"Through the gutters of the lovers
I move into you
Forget about all the others
Finally together, as we always were" 💖

Intimacy is the debut full-length from Leeds-based twin producers, SAH. Exploring various intensities and incarnations of closeness, it will help us process and exorcise our shared experience of isolation and distance, of late.

In their own words: “This album is a collection of sounds and feelings based on our own personal meditations over the concept of true intimacy. Whether the intimacy is an attempt to become closer to a lover, a friend or some form of higher power many of us seek true intimacy within every single breath of existence”. ✨

The eight tracks draw inspiration from the diversity of global religions, making references to African spirituals, American Gospel, Spiritual Jazz and Islamic Folk. It aims to “create a transcendent listening experience” that breaks free from dogma and organisation to embrace a higher, more holistic form of spirituality – a power that it is hoped will serve as a positive force in fragmented, depressive times 🌞

PREMIERE : SAH - Call To Prayer

Mountains. Snow. Slopes. Fresh powder. It's become a distant dream, a psychopath's delirium. But the deep connection with the world has already taken place. Sometimes in the stream of thoughts, I catch the pheromones of those white ale trees. Sometimes, I wake up from the vastness of those truffle peaks.  I believe that someday we will connect again. Our love flows in the distance. Is this it? Or is it my fantasy? Or am I out of my mind?

Intellectual electronic music produced by the drummer of 'Gruppa Hmuriy', a Russian post-punk project. A snowy harp, sophisticated percussion and a tenacious rhythm section. Inspired by the Alpine peaks.

PREMIERE : Täino & Vanilla Dinosaurs - Woman On The Tree

Label founder Holly Lester pools together a selection of her favourite artists from across the globe to form the first volume in the Duality Trax Visions compilation series. 

100% of compilation profits will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, who provide medical care to casualties of war in Gaza, Syria, Yemen and much more. The organisation has also worked tirelessly to provide Covid-19 related aid to countries hit the hardest throughout the pandemic and are currently lobbying for a global waiver of patents on COVID-19 technologies. 

-- 

Bouncing from the U.S to Europe, the VA travels through a multitude of moods and genres across seven tracks - including acid tinged electro from New York, breaks infused garage from Chicago, rave-fuelled house music from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track from Estonia. 

Rotterdam duo Black Cadmium step up first with Meliorate; a dark and rolling tom-filled workout, before Chicago based artist Aguila switches up the mood with their sunny breaks-infused garage jam. Paving the way for another summertime roller, Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén provides some blissful tech house before Estonian duo Abdul Raeva pick up the pace with trance inspired club weapon Pearlescent. Rising Belgian artist Azo pushes the limits with her unique mashup of fast paced 90’s rave and acid house before Belfast hustler Optmst beautifully rounds things off with the dreamy breakbeats of Umwaya. 

Keen to reflect the core ethos of the label, the compilation series name serves as a nod towards her ideals of a more equalised future in electronic music - something which is fittingly demonstrated throughout this stellar lineup.

PREMIERE : Azo - Better Days In The Galaxy

What I Breathe

Love Reigns

BUY 12"

It’s no coincidence that Susan has yet another match with the Box. Wait, we mean. Ok, let’s start over. Match Box has a second date with Susan. No one has to perform a rain check here, because the evening is in full effect. Here’s how the story goes.

It’s a dreamy vibe. The wind gushes between our gears as the sunset tickles the scene. We are sensitive to the light. We believe in what is to come. We’re on the hunt. In the far out foggy clearance we are struck by the sparks of a very rare object. Amethysts depict a calm purple variety of quartz. Whatever that means, we’re floating on an unknown cloud. This Amsterdam duo really does this to us, huh? Heavy on the synths, easy on the emotions. A banger in the making, is what is whispered into our ears. Trippy echoes massage seemingly infinite chords, whistles and sounds I’ve never heard before. I really like this kind of.. uh.. you know.

Two drinks down the line and the fluids of life become increasingly apparent. Tip-toeing from left to right, the jumpy stabs of house music stand glaring at our eardrums. We need to have a shot. Let’s order this one called - what was it again? - oh yeah, Fluidum. Down the throat it goes and we notice an increasing pace. That familiar echo rings our bells. Again. This song demands we go with the flow. Let’s do it. A casual stomper. But only if you really sit down and try to understand.

Do you ever read? Have you ever felt that sensation? You know what I’m talking about. The one where you suddenly wake up as a bug, clustered to your bed, crawling up the wall? Or the other one where your mind is oppressed by a nightmarish endeavour that keeps on repeating itself? The drums. The bass. It’s all part of this adventure. Let go of the nightmare. Embrace reality. Because you are free. As you shift into the ease of life you are blessed by an inner momentum. You don’t have to read Kafka to be Kafkaesque. Match Box tell their story and offer you an alternative to repetitive madness by introducing a novel claim. One that will bring us to the next level. Go now, go.

Shall we hit the casino then? Sure. A gamble is what this really is. These boys call it a Mutation Gamble, for it translates into a multiplicity. You kno’wha’I’m’Sayin’? The snares are tender, the futurism is constant. A little breather in the middle segues into an augmented past. Just as we think we know where this is headed, the echoing vocals grab our hand and say: not here, but there. That is where we will commence that feeling of tomorrow. OK, you say. I am with you on this one.

Everyone works hard for a climax. Down the line is where it stands. We really need to lean back. We need to observe. Flattering spirits linger as the background noise fades into a holistic feast of synthesised cinematic culture. This is the culture we strive for. A modular masterpiece is what we are presented. Is this some kind of new technique?

Have you caught your breath yet? Well, there’s no choice here. A mescaline-induced trip from the here and the now is generated in a collaboration between the boxed matches and Exo Moda. An intense click overwhelmingly bangs into a fast-paced anthem. We’re all dancing at this point in time. And precisely time is what we are now, finally, questioning.  It’s been a trip. It’s been a momentary invasion of our mind. It’s been a pleasure. Actually, did someone say it was going to rain? I’ve danced myself dry and am ready to do it all again.

Salt Mines / Life Sciences Division label-head Rudolf C joins Craigie Knowes for both party's first EP of the year. "Gamma!" hits hard across 4-tracks spanning techy-acid, futuristic garage, and peak-time rollers. This is the first coming together of label and artist in the form of an EP - following on from Rudolf C's stellar contribution to the latest release in the label's War Child Fundraiser VA series.

The release of "Gamma!" falls hand-in-hand with the rebirth of Craigie Knowes' in 2021 which sees the Scottish imprint leave Glasgow and return to their hometown of Perth, the opening of their new studio / label-hub and a move to self-distribution, operating primarily from Bandcamp for the first time since the label launched back in 2015.
