Kelpe – If Not Now When

Dundundun

Dun in Outer Space (Ishmael Ensemble Remix)

‘Music For Autumn Lovers’ by Adam Scrimshire is an eight track album of lush, mostly acoustic based, minimal instrumentals eliciting a mixture of feelings for this special time of year.

Scrimshire explains, “Autumn resonates so strongly. There’s something very distinctive in this particular change of season, maybe it’s in how it holds so much “back-to-school” energy all the way through to the primal urge to hibernate and nest on the cusp of winter. For me there are so many distinct, unique sensations and latent memories, smells, visions that I can never quite pin down but hit me repeatedly throughout the autumn months in the UK.

The music in this album is an attempt to try and capture some of those things I struggle to express in words. The way the light changes as the sun comes lower. The way the air feels different as it cools after summer. The feeling of comfort despite the dying leaves and plants around us, making way for new growth.

When it comes to the beginning of autumn, I have a short list of albums I go to every year when the time feels just right. There’s a wistful sadness, a quiet energy, a warm resignation in their songs. I really hoped to make an album that could fill that space on the shelf for someone else. Something to come back to year after year.”

Four tracks originally released on an EP in 2022 are joined by new compositions ‘Hawthorn’, ‘Hazel’, ‘Willow’ and ‘Blackthorn’. Gently finger-picked acoustic guitars cosy up alongside pianos, synthesisers, strings and horns; filtered through an autumnal hue of susurrous production and effects. In turns comforting, melancholic and evolutionary; it feels like an album that can be kept being made and remade forever, like a season in itself.

Kelpe - Just One More Summer

Milan-based collective Just This are proud to present ​X​ - a compilation celebrating ten years at the outer reaches of ambient, melodic techno. Featuring contributions from Just This family and friends, the twenty-track release will be available July 10.

Since launching in 2010 as an event series, Just This has grown to function as a record label and collective governed by community spirit and a mutual interest in the more abstract spheres of techno. Having presented over thirty releases across a ten year period, they have worked with an extensive list of acclaimed artists at the vanguard of electronic music.

Following their success as one of the first parties in Italy to book more melodic strains of techno, the collective has retained a commitment to bringing abstract sonic explorations to a wider audience. As one of the first to host artists like Tale Of Us in Milan, the Just This parties expanded to curate events across Europe and beyond, bringing with them a number of artists whose careers have since skyrocketed.

With this compilation, they celebrate the wide range of aesthetic pursuits that have underscored their intentions from the start. Tense atmospherics and murky frequencies are offset with crystalline ambient wanderings and brief moments of euphoria. Spatial manipulations carve new sonic frontiers as the boundaries between psychedelia and lucidity blur into abstract forms. At times rough, at others meditative, the compilation is underscored by a shared aesthetic belief in the weird and wonderful.

X​ includes tracks from ​Hunter/Game, Mind Against, Extrawelt, Eduardo De La Calle, Alex Smoke, Sterac, Yotam Avni ​and​ Woo York,​ amongst many others, and functions as both a celebration of the collective, and a testament to the value of community and collaboration.
