Afriquoi - Kudaushe (Anchorsong Remix) (STW Premiere)

There are many moments which can be recalled from the days of summer past. The dying embers of the sun would soon leave this place but for now they would dance in the golden glow beneath the trees. A roar would erupt from a small crowd as a drum banged between the leaves. Feet moved pacily in time and "Ciquita" they would chant euphorically for the whole damn world to hear. This one was an ode to summer madness, an ode to summer dreaming, an ode to summer past.

Ransom Note's very own "Ciquita" has been doing the rounds this summer and has appeared in some far flung locations. Bawrut has soundtracked our 2016, we're not sure about yours. However, now, as we enter the dying embers of the breezy, sun kissed months we unveil a new approach. Our good friend Moscoman steps up to deliver a remix to see in the Autumn as part of a new EP.

With his Alleged Witches moniker, RBMA alumni Christian Kroupa keeps expanding his range of experimentally inclined techno productions. The native Slovenian was recently featured on Scuba’s ‘Fabric 90’ mix CD and follows this appearance up with a new cut simply named after his alter ego. “Alleged Witches” draws attention to itself with the kind of rumbling, off-kilter beat backbone you would expect to hear on a Hessle Audio or Hemlock record. The shrouded vocal sample adds a ritualistic feel to the track.

Alleged Witches’ debut EP is out June 9th via Meda Fury.

The five days were a toil and terror upon the working man. Friday was the be all and end all for a generation lost beneath the waves. He looked out upon the carnage which was the Saturday night high street with a loathsome sense of self despair and and an anxious gaze. This was to be the place within which humanity would unfold, unbutton itself in disgrace for all the perilous world to see.

Deborah Gray and Roy Nicolson formed ARVO in the early 80’s, high on the fumes of European synth-pop. After releasing their sole album, 1984’s Luna, the group evaporated. Like an island vanished from the map, ARVO has since only resurfaced in the realm of misty lore. Now, New Zealand label Strangelove Music are reviving two choice cuts from Luna along with remixes by Australia’s Hysteric and France’s Shelter. We bring you the original version of “Bikini,” premiered this week by Frosty on Open End, his Red Bull Radio voyage around the world. “Bikini” is a samba-hipped twister fit to frolick on the sand with Lizzy Mercier Descloux or Antena. Enjoy this sunsplashed slow-mo synth stunner.

AUF TOGO is the combination of Sasa Crnobrnja (In Flagranti / Mytron & Ofofo) and Clement Cachot-Coulom (The Fabulous Penetrators / Big Girls). Their combined sound is one of vintage recording equipment and instruments, coupled with the tweaks and blends from the modern studio.Please write down in your diary the EP will be available from the 13th of July.

The duo presents a loose, almost improvised sound that works effortlessly within the rigid confines of house music. Psychedelic reverberated guitars meet probing synth lines and a live- sounding rhythm section. Heavy kicks, singing cowbells, deep bass lines and lo-fi guitar licks blur the line between rigid, quantized sounds and the duo’s refreshing human touch. 

Draws on their knowledge of the past and the current club scene, the No Control EP easily glides through deep, warm analogue sounds and tougher studio techniques. Clement's guitar work is reminiscent of late 60’s Garage bands, complimented by Sasa's strong bass lines and driving beats, giving the perfect mix of home listening fuzz and a late-night dance floor.

PREMIERE: Auf Togo - No Control [SaS Recordings]

After a debut outing on our sister label International Black last year with his best friend Mallard, LT (@lg_t) graduates onto Rhythm Section INTL with a stunning debut solo effort: FOREST FLOOR.

Aged just 20 years old, Lewis Taylor aka LT is another prodigal talent
from the north of England, whose association with Rhythm Section goes back to his school days. A fan of the label from an early age, Lewis regularly made pilgrimages to the pool hall as soon as he was old enough to do so. It was these visits with his old school friend Mallard (who had recently moved down to London from Derbyshire to study music) which proved to be a formative influence, prompting him to try his hand at production...It turned out he was quite the natural, with his second ever effort as an 18 year old making it onto this very EP.
Sitting somewhere between electro, house and techno with a healthy
dose of breaks - LT constructs complex arrangements with as much of a nod to the retro summer of love stylings of Lone as to the new age bounce of the Pender Street Steppers. The piano house stabs of ‘Untitled (Chesney)’ reverberate around chopped breaks and screaming samples, anchored down by bouncy organ bass and FM lead synth which really begs the question: ‘How did LT develop such a rich lexicon of club culture references in such a short time?’
We’d be tempted to believe it was just pure luck, if this mastery of rave
aesthetics wasn’t repeated throughout the EP...

Mesosphere fizzes with arpeggiated energy before giving way to a
magnificent yet subtle drop that will serve festival main stages as well as it will back room clubs.
Before the EP is over, LT has one more trick up his sleeve in Forest
Floor - the titular track which is the musical equivalent of watching the sun rise through a misty glade after a night spent alone in the wilderness. With this gentle touch, LT proves he’s more than another kid on Abelton making bangers - he has breadth, incredible musicality and a rare ability to transcript sceneries into sounds. Finishing with ‘North Circular’ possibly a reference to the free Parties on the London Orbital or merely just a coincidence... you decide.

We couldn’t be happier to welcome LT onto the RS INTL roster in what
feels like a fulfilment of destiny. It’s such a great honour to have nurtured and now introduce the next generation via the Rhythm Section platform.

The full Mystery Trip Vol.II mixtape - drops July 10th on Bastard Jazz Records. This project is all about going back to my roots: pulling out obscure vinyl from my global collection, then lovingly chopping, remixing and editing them into new tracks with a contemporary edge and classic Captain Planet touch. All 9 edits have been blended, along with other audio samples and field recordings, into a 45min mix, which will be printed to cassette tapes like my earliest mixes from the late 90's. Similar to Mystery Trip Vol.I, which was listed in Sasha Frere-Jones "Best Music Of 2012", Vol.II leads you on a psychedelic journey to destinations around the world, where you are drawn out of your sonic comfort zone via a soundtrack that bridges styles of music from Asia and Africa to South America, The Caribbean and beyond.

Red Axes are very excited to present the first part of their new project called: "Trips", a multi media venture combining music, film and travelling across the globe in pursuit of extra ordinary collaborations. 

Niv Arzi and Dori Sadovnik are seeking to discover new grounds and sounds, and to record local musicians, indigenous instruments and present workshops for youth music schools.

In March of 2017, the Israeli duo touched down in Africa for the first time, and set up camp in both Ethiopia and Ivory Coast, yielding In Africa, a triple header EP which features three slices of contemporary body music, with both East and West African musical motifs. 

The project will always present a musical release, on vinyl and digital, that was created on the trip, accompanied with a documentary, showing the whole journey.

The Music;
A1 sees Red Axes and seven-piece Ivorian band, Yakomin, intertwine mechanical drum-machine passages with breathing, live percussion and recordings of instruments indigenous to the West African costal region. Amuse’s dusty, afrofunk-leaning synths pair excellently with the celebratory singing and rhythms by students from Abidjan’s Insaac Music School. Addis Sababa’s overdriven, analog electronics escort lesser-known wind and plucked instruments to the sunny finish line. in trademark Red Axes style.

The Film;
An accompanying documentary by Nimrod Von Keren, entitled TRIPS #1 - Africa, is soon to be unveiled, which showcases the magic moments behind this first-of-many, transcontinental, nonstandard collaborative experiences. 

The Show;
On August 23rd, we will present a one of a kind performance with 3 of the amazing musicians we worked with in Ivory Coast, from the band Yakomin. The show will happen at "Sacred Music Festival" in Jerusalem, and this is the most amazing closure, the band and Red Axes could have dreamed of. The artists will prepare a special set up of tracks recorded together, and new organic interpretations for their biggest tracks.
