Papà Funky (Funclab Edit Unit)

Split release by Piper Spray and Lena Tsibizova — two musicians whose sound can be described as bedroom electronics or low-fi ambient. Lena and Piper Spray are also members of the Air Krew collective along with their third bandmate Sergey Podluzhny, who is on mastering duties for this record.

Following the first track’s title, the album begins with a nostalgic synthesizer melody which pours on the listener like rays of the midday sun, bringing forward recollections of a pleasant half-forgotten time. However, memory not only holds the serene and nostalgic — it can also evoke painful and anxious images or even mislead its carrier by synthesizing new details and meanings.

The album seems to be transforming in a similar pattern. Arrhythmic beats, glitchy effects and faint voices — like spores of the unconsciousness that break through shallow sleep and fill the gaps in memory — gradually come forward, taking over the melodic element. By the second half of the record, the naive nostalgia disintegrates into distant echoes and the sound takes the form of a collage which almost sounds like magnetic tape experiments.

Despite the difference in tone and techniques, the two tracks here are not antagonists. They complement each other, presenting memory mechanisms and the experience of acute reflection in different colors.

Music — Piper Spray, Lena Tsibizova

(013) Noise From Beyond OST by 
Jin Cromanyon, Kind Human Being

- Kind Human Being - Lets Talk / "Lyrics":

Lets talk about the trunk
Being in a blue funk
Сar drives to the grave
Waiting for a dead slave!

The label’s 013 release says about itself by its number, showing you an imaginary OST for an unreleased horror movie by the masters of the genre such as John Carpenter, Mario Bava, George A. Romero and Sam Raimi.

The authors of the music "Noise From Beyond" are: the Japanese composer Jin Cromanyon with his suspense numbers, known for his work with Macadam Mambo; and the Russian villain Kind Human Being (vinyl releases on New Flesh and Fundamental).

“Noise From Beyond" is a 6-track musical crossover that paves the way to nowhere through sinister forests, rivers and mountains; hiding with a car in a deep fog of the night, you will still meet the dawn on the other side of the afterlife...

All Mastered by Dark Crusader Studio 2020.
Only studio .WAVE 16/44 format / NO MP3!

The Siwa Remixes EP comes to us at a time ripe for re-invention. Souq Record’s contributors, old and new, dip into a transportive spectrum of moods as they reinterpret Pandhora's original release. 

Through these 6 tracks, we invite our listeners to musically roam beyond the walls of their home. This EP brings new perspectives to the original Siwa story, meshing psychedelia with sharper, elevated tempos. 

Pandhora’s EP told the flavorful tale of a French duo discovering melodies from sacred Egyptian lands, accompanied by local musicians and their instruments. These earthy remixes continue on a trail of cultural collision, weaving a thread from London to Istanbul. From late-night groovers by Zuma Dionys or Nomad Saleh & Shunus, to the curling energies of Ameli Paul and Nhii, to the lively road companionship of Timboletti and settling dust of Beyhude… our palette is wide, and our stories live.
