The first full-length collaboration between Burning Pyre and Canadian Rifles, “The Snipe & The Clam” encapsulates a shared sensibility and vision. Initially seen together on the Vienna Press/Vaagner compilation “A Declaration” in 2019, which was followed up with a second piece last year on Burning Pyre’s Opal Tapes debut, “United Angels”, the two artists cultivate a unique aural world with a singular voice.

Taking a contemporary yet deeply romantic approach to ambient music, “The Snipe & The Clam” showcases a blend of luscious synth melodies and harmonics, set against a heavily organic dynamic backbone. An apt representation of both artists’ methods and modus operandi, opulent glimmering drones flow with a sense of narrative, contributing a magical watercolour-like quality to the album’s eight instrumental pieces. As if lightness met the restraint of a disciplined wrist - every sharp note a pensive flap of wings across its airy background.

“The Snipe & The Clam” often feels like an emotional exercise on the stoppage of time, gliding between loving gestures and precise crescendos, delivering both a flourish of exposition and a reflection on intimate moments. A definitive summit in each respective artists’ discographies until this point, “The Snipe & The Clam” is an elegy to tenderness and finding beauty in minute details.

a ghost has no consciousness
this spaceship is laid to rest
i’m floating in consciousness
this eternal family laid to rest

laid to rest
laid to rest
laid to rest

an opened box of cursedness
i reach inside a dead birds nest
tangle my soul around my neck
this eternal family laid to rest

laid to rest
laid to rest
laid to rest

slip away from my wicked ways (forfeiting every)
i can't find my (altitude)

slip away from my wicked ways (forfeiting every)
i can't find my (altitude)

slip away from my wicked ways (forfeiting every)
i can't find my (altitude)

purgatory
it's not easy for me either here
but i'll be right here
purgatory
it's not easy for me either here
but i'll be right here when you're leaving

i wanna run away too
we're from the same cave
wanna hang out in graveyards
fake little ravestar
dance in the basement
everything changes and goes away

ur angry now and i get it
i get it
do u wish u had never met me
i'm just hoping u say goodbye

[leave me in the nether 
so i can finally be alone
choking on the weather 
never visit our gravestone
never had any ties here
disappear in my bed
keeping all of my friends close 
as i run away in my head

compartmentalize everything
every soul in your attic
they stole your happiness
and i promise i didn't have it
and i swear i did my best
and i never talk about you
but i write songs about this
and i feel fine without you]

Love is an emotional capacity without boundaries. It is the inherent beauty of life and light, flowing from within our body and mind. The alchemy of intimacy and devotion helps us to ascend from darkness, filling our soul with a clear radiant energy. Like a beaming star, our compassion and affection heal us by releasing our trauma in katharsis.

The compilation “No Limits, All Love” is the 12th release of katharsis, celebrating our first anniversary with 10 poignant tracks from artists novel to the label. With the title as a thematic starting point and additional references of gratitude, healing and growth, the contributing artists were invited to interpret their experiences of kathartic purgation and salvation through music.

To commence the compilation, the Egyptian Ma3azef-affiliated artist ABADIR engages us with his spellbinding track “Clearance”, before the British sound-designer Phrixus gets our bodies moving to his wonky “Unintentional Alchemy”. Debuting local Danish artist Bloszum takes the pace down again with the hypnotizing piano-infused hymn, “Beauty Is Only Crystal Deep”, followed by the daybreaking floater “Flamma” by Uruguayan artist Balas De Agua.

Subsequently, French producer Zero Crossing Point delivers a stellar spectrum of emotion on “Our Ascension” ahead of the sentimental receptacle of heartbreak on the track “Vesper” by French artist Awbluu. The energy dives deep into the trancelike state of our subliminal mind on Nexcyia’s “wrapped(up)”, as danish duo J Sliwa, consisting of label founder jjjacob and his partner in crime Lighyer, shoots for the stars with celestial cannons on the track “Light Is Within”. The compilation culminates in climax on the motivational rave-anthem “Don’t Be Sad” by the Swedish YEAR0001-affiliated duo Quit Life, before Santebela closes the album with grandiose piano phrases bathed in reverb on “save me”.

Casey MQ - Glossy Lips

Berlin-based events organisers and label Creamcake are pleased to announce their latest online release, Casey MQ's Nudes EP (released September 28)with lead single Between Waters out September 7.

The Canadian singer, songwriter, musician and producer blurs the borders between ambient production and melancholic soul, distorted club music and electronic pop. A classically-trained pianist, Casey has scored original music for a number of films that have screened at TIFF, SXSW and Hot Docs Film Festival, while producing for other artists including Zaki Ibrahim, TiKA and Cadence Weapon.

Most notably, the Toronto-based artist released a collaborative EP with Paris’ oklou called For The Beasts on Parisian label Permalnk in December last year. A reimagining of pop-star vocal samples in mutated form, Casey MQ carries this preoccupation with dance hooks and synth melodies into Nudes. Five singles swagger through the RnB influences of an updated lounge music for the internet era, similar to contemporaries Dan Bodan and serpentwithfeet, while focussing on delicate, sometimes odd, harmonies not unlike anohni. Lead single “Between Waters” is the more epic of the bunch, where a prancing synthline and crisp kick sustains Casey MQ’s luscious voice on an unyielding EDM high.

The “Between Waters” music video and single release precedes the Nudes EP, which drops on September 28, and Casey MQ will be performing 3hd 2018’s “Energy Exchange” — along with QT, Bob Vylan, and Golin — at Säule on October 25.

there was a time once i thought i could be like you
you should have seen it
all of the meaning in all of what i can't do anymore

there was a time once that i believed in you
thought you would keep me safe from my weaknesses when i'd speak to you

burn it out in the sun alone
fix my body fix my soul
pour the fever from my pores
oh i'm better on my own
cause i know what i'm like on the inside
i should know the way i can make it right
but i don't and i'm warm and terrified
it just feels like a bad dream

and i don't know what's happening
and i don't know what happened to me
and i don't know how i can be clean again
think the dirt settled in way too deep
let it into the rest of me
and i give all the best of me too
i don't like what is left of me
i don't know what is left here to do

..and i don't know what happened to me
no i don't know what happened to me
there was a time once that i believed in you

Smackdown x Paprika - https://youtu.be/MxIY-yM9ISU

‘I just wanted to make good UK Bass music' is what Francesco said to me as we spoke about his remarkably unique approach to electronic music. Considering the three-track sophomore EP, It is evident immediately that this initial incentive was one that he was quick to let go of. We started to notice this in a big way when his first EP 'Pianta Tenera' was sent to us. Our ears pricked up as we listened to this standalone producer amongst a sea of talent. It can be hard to distinguish between unique styles as easily these days; but there was no issue here.

Jaf Ge Nos makes his second appearance on NHS with a release that takes an even greater leap out into theatrical, psychedelic progressive territories that span across 3 starkly different pieces. Often jazzy, frequently emotively eclectic, moving and undeniably rhythmic, Jaf Ge Nos has dialed up the originality tenfold on ‘Un Discorsetto’ and broken through the chains of restriction (Not that he really had any before anyway, but you get the idea). Branching out of the digital realm and skittering into instrumentation to add a whole level of depth and individuality to already obscure sound. We have decided to dub him the 'Nektar of Bass Music'. It's as if Southern American rhythm entered into a deep loving relationship with Prog Rock and they conceived this litter of love children. It's like watching a film that is comprised of every genre in one sitting.

Jaf Ge Nos set out to assimilate into the UK Bass music scene and ended up further away than he ever intended; and we love him for it. Let him whisk you away on an adventure across the three epic stories that make up the ‘Un Discorsetto’ EP.
