[MEMETIC Festival]
Kasm + lifeboogie live@TheWAG

Had a fantastic time at this year’s Manitoba Electronic Music Exposition aka Memetic Festival at The Winnipeg Art Gallery aka The WAG.

Adam Hannibal aka DJ Kasm and yours truly threw down some sweet tunes for an amazing group of people who knew how to throw down and showed some serious love for our grooves.

Fortunately we recorded the set which consists of Kasm taking people on a proper journey of some killer deep techy afro followed by yours truly continuing the journey with a mélange of afro tech and deep house bangers with a few left turns to a little bruk & stuff.

Big thanks goes our to Nathan Zahn and the Memetic team for having me back and putting together such a fun and quality event with some killer selectors over the two days.

Huge props to the amazing attendees who brought the energy and we’re the true stars of the event, without you there would be no party.

JM #001 - The Drop - Takeover (DjRum Remix)

Mastering by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering.

JM #001 - The Drop - Takeover (DjRum Remix)- Preview

7" and digital available on Bandcamp
https://bokehversions.bandcamp.com/album/quiet-flash-water-vapour

BKV013 is 7 inches of infectious, Osaka-matured, aquatic dub from 7FO. 7FO-san has been in touch with Bokeh for over a year and kindly showed them round Kyoto on the BKV Japan world tour (we ate a baby squid that had a boiled egg where the brain used to be - crazy).

This is 7FO’s first proper wax outing after homegrown albums made local waves with his fusion of Japanese new age and dub miniatures. Previous albums also had mastering credits by Bokeh alumni and Osaka mixing desk alchemist Kabamix.

2016 saw 7FO reach wider audiences with Water Falls Into A Blank, a cassette and multi-media project via RVNG Intl’s Commend See series. Bandcamp user Standard Grey summed it up best:

“If Joe Meek lived on to collaborate with Harry Hosono and Inoyama Land and make idiosyncratic dubbed out Japanese Minyo and off-world colony exotica... “

‘Water Vapour’ features the enigmatic Sea Urchin - the duo of Francesco Cavaliere (on FX) and Leila Hasan (on otherworldly vocals). They’ve released an LP for Belgian imprint Kraak and Francesco notched a 2016 highlight with his solo LPs on Hundebiss.

This is the 4th Bokeh release to come out of Japan…..

Feel Alive (Dub Version) Single

Free Download

Free Download: Dunmore Park - Feel Alive (Dub Version) [Grrreat Recordings]

The third and final part of the "waldgeschichten" 12inch series highlights and expands upon pole´s distinctive sound, connecting to the first two parts of the trilogy in a charming way. Again a fundamental element is the very specific drum sound embedded in complex dubby structures, seamlessly unified with the warm and deep basslines.

If you have had the pleasure of listening to one of pole´s live concerts recently, then you will immediately recognize the "lurch" and "moos".


 

After the stripped down second part of the trilogy, with its wintery atmosphere, these tracks appear to be floating in melancholy. The field recordings and sounds fade away into echoes, grounded with massive bass.

 

This is a perfect conclusion to the series, offering a foretaste of the upcoming pole album.

A Lurch-SNIPPET

Stargate is a bass driven journey into deep space and inner realities. Revisiting a 2008 jam with label partner Seed Organization, the final iteration combines elements of bass music with dripping dubby leads, lush textured melodies and mystically charged percussive particles. 

Michael Red, the former long-term collaborator with Tanya Tagaq and label owner of Low Indigo cleverly extracts aspects from the original piece and launches them into a futuristic space for his remix. The end product is a bold, sonically powerful piece that could easily lend itself to epic sci-fi visual accompaniment.  

Rise Ashen, the most prolific artist on Balanced, drops a moody head nodding version. The two time JUNO award nominated producer, fresh from recent work with his Silla + Rise project, adds a new layer of bass strata while changing up the pacing of the original and inserting the perfect, solitary lyric - Gaze into the eyes of the infinite…

The ambient version casts away most of the rhythmic elements revealing a pulsating, meditative experience. 

Stargate is a complex multi spectral track that is entrancing and stimulating, introspective and cosmic-seeking.  Reflecting on the significance of Stargate and the long evolution of this release, Kasm adds “It’s important to complicate music, to show nuance, a plurality of moods, a plurality of views, a raw cathartic reflection of life.” 

Adam Hannibal (Kasm) is the co-founder and manager of Balanced Records, the JUNO award winning record label based in Winnipeg and Montreal, established in 2001. He has been DJing since 1995, incorporating an eclectic range of global, electronic and bass oriented genres in his sets. Kasm has remixed and collaborated on numerous projects including work by DJ Brace, Cayetano, Seed Organization, Rise Ashen, the Ukrainian ensemble Paris to Kyiv, Amsterdam's Process Rebel, Swedish soundscape artist Skyscaper, the Iraqi French troupe Aiwa and many others. He also co-hosts Quadrafunk, Winnipeg’s longest running DJ show on CKUW 95.9FM which has been on the airwaves since 1999.  In 2010, he helped co-found the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition (MEME) one of the largest urban electronic music festivals in Western Canada.

Souleance, c'est le duo composé de Fulgeance (Musique Large / MPM) et de DJ Soulist (What the Funk). Depuis la sortie de leur premier EP, Le Monde, en 2009, ils se sont forgés une solide réputation en se réappropriant de manière très personnelle rythmes soul et electro. Comptant parmi leurs fans, Gilles Peterson, Danny Breaks ou Mr Thing, leur premier album, La Belle Vie, a couronné 3 ans de beat-making et de concerts.
Alors que d'autres producteurs se seraient reposés sur leurs lauriers après un premier album, Souleance est retourné rapidement en studio produire La Beat Tape. La variété des styles de cette beat tape est la clef et Souleance ne déçoit pas.
On y retrouve des musiques turques traditionnelles ("Sauce Samurai"), un orgue Hammond funk ("L'Insouleance"), des extraits de western hallucinés ("Tout Doux"), du jazz trouble ("Kipseli Street Interlude"), des rythmes fantômes ("Strongest love"), des mélodies hip-hop cuivrées flamboyantes ("Como Estan Bitches"), des synthés 80iess ("Cocktail Time")...

____________________________________________________________________________________

Following on from the success of their debut LP 'La Belle Vie' from earlier this year, the French duo have been busy in the studio producing La Beat Tape. 20 tracks deep, the release is aimed squarely at the DJs, with a succession of guaranteed party-starters. This is rounded out with some typically quirky interludes, jazzy beat excursions and blissed out trip hop.
Souleance are producer Fulgeance (Musique Large / One Handed Music) and DJ Soulist (What The Funk Paris?). Since releasing their debut EP (Le Monde) back in 2009, they have built a solid reputation for their idiosyncratic take on modern beats. With fans including Gilles Peterson, Danny Breaks, Lefto and Mr Thing, their debut album was the culmination of 3 years of beat-making, touring, partying and drinking too much Pimms. Whilst other producers would rest on their laurels after releasing their debut, Souleance got straight back into the studio to produce La Beat Tape - their sole aim to create tracks that they would DJ with themselves. The result is 20 tracks of pure dancefloor fire peppered with a smattering of chilled, lounge tracks in classic Souleance style.
Like any classic beat tape, variety is the key, and Souleance do not disappoint. La Beat Tape takes in heavy Turkish breaks (Sauce Samourai), Hammond funk (L'insouleance), tripped out western cinematics (Tout Doux), brooding jazz (Kipseli Street Interlude), Shadow-esque breaks (Strongest Love), Just Blaze-style horn-heavy hip hop (Como Estan Bitches), 80s synth-hop (Cocktail Time) and much much more.
The release is available as a budget-priced download with a limited edition 7" containing four tracks that we feel will be most useful for the DJs. With artwork by long-term collaborator Alice Dufay, it's sure to join their previous vinyl releases as a genuine collectors item.

Very honoured to have Kasm (Adam Hannibal) grace us with the next bathtub mix. Adam is one of those talented humans who keeps a hand in many musical areas, steadily pushing the sounds of breakbeat and bass-influenced music in Winnipeg (and beyond) since 1995.

He's one of the original founders of Balanced Records, a Winnipeg/Montreal-based JUNO Award winning label balancing "downtempo, dub, house, world and all good spaces in between", and currently manages the label. Additionally, Adam hosts Quadrafunk, Winnipeg’s longest running DJ show on CKUW which has been on the airwaves since 1999, and is also an Artistic Director of the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition (MEME).


A few words from Kasm:

"Putting this mix together really took me back to the mid 90s chill out rooms. The parties and spaces allowed for an artistic exploration that could cover such a wide sonic terrain… “music for people with 3 ears” as Aphex Twin once said. The rooms were a perfect counterbalance to the high energy of main space and gave your brain a chance to process the entirety of the events along with your own social and personal world. 

When you know the audience expects something different and out of the dancefloor realm, you can really stretch out and still somehow touch on dubby, jazzy, dark and mellow sounds. You can hit relaxing strata but also delve into the essential tension points off the beated path. I feel all good mixes tell a story or reveal one from the listeners’ own experiences. So hopefully this mix takes you somewhere, or at least provides a soundtrack to a good cleansing…"

File Under: Ambient, Future Beat, Dub Techno

1.	Noctilucent Clouds 
2.	Noctilucent Clouds (Kasm remix feat. SuhniSea)
3.	Geocorona (Balanced Mix)

The 40th release on Balanced Records revisits the label’s early ambient directions while carving out a new sonic path forward. Swedish sound designer, Skyscaper (not to be confused with skyscraper) creates layered and textured soundscapes in Noctilucent Clouds that are clearly matched to the spatial and atmospheric themes he explores as an artist. Label manager Kasm takes the title track to new depths with gorgeous melodic sketches, abstract beats and the rich distinctive vocals of SuhniSea. Geocorona offers a minimal dubby techno feel with subtle, punctuated percussive flares overtop cosmic background noise.

Anders Peterson is a sound designer, composer and audio postproduction engineer, who runs GS Mastering & Post, providing audio post solutions. He also runs a small label called Ghost Sounds, and records music under a couple of different aliases, Skyscaper being one of them.

Since 1995, Kasm has covered the spectrum of breakbeat and bass influenced music from drum & bass, downtempo, afrobeat, dub, broken beat and future bass styles. As one of the original founders of Balanced and current label manager, Kasm has been integral to the label's growth and identity both on the international stage and with cultivating artists from the flatlands. He also co-hosts Quadrafunk, Winnipeg’s longest running DJ show on CKUW which has been on the airwaves since 1999 and is an Artistic Director of the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition.

UK based SuhniSea is a music aficionado with an encyclopedic knowledge and radar for the freshest sounds. Her roots as a jazz, hip hop and soul radio show host and DJ gradually extend her selections to include electronic, house and bass music. With over ten years in radio production, including her nationally acclaimed show Mic Check, at CKUW (ckuw.ca) she’s also noted as a music reviewer and writer. Noctilucent Clouds marks her debut as a vocalist. www.mixcloud.com/suhnisea/

As one of the original founders of Balanced and current label manager, Kasm has been integral to the label's growth and identity both on the international stage and with cultivating artists from the flatlands. Recent projects include a remix of Cravo E Canela on Pronto Musique, Rise Ashen's Atma, the Iraqi French troupe Aiwa on Wikkid Records, forming Leaf System, the dub influenced trio with Rise Ashen and The Seed Organization and partnering with an eclectic mix of Manitoba musicians to create the Maestro Ayahuasquero project which is based on the songs of a Peruvian shaman. He also co-hosts Quadrafunk, Winnipeg’s longest running DJ show on CKUW which has been on the airwaves since 1999 and is one of the Artistic Directors of the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition (MEME).
