RELEASE DATE 2ND SEPTEMBER 2013

Over the years he's remixed artists ranging from William Orbit to Queen, given sonic signatures to various movies and brands, sold out venues from Tokyo to LA, Moscow to London and forms a central part of his label -the legendary Twisted Music - who's nights have drawn crowds of up to 12,000 in the last year.

After 15 years and 7 albums, Even Tundra is the album Benji Vaughan always wanted to make. Up until now he has hidden behind various guises (such as Younger Brother, Prometheus and The Zap ) and done much of his work with the Godfathers of Psychedelic Electronica - Simon Posford and Raja Ram.

With Even Tundra the time came to remove the mask and avoid taking shelter in any particular scene or genre. He describes making the album as ' like making a folk record - just me, my sound lab and an emotion or atmosphere i wanted to hear - not a dance floor i wanted to fill.'

The result is unique sound collage filled with understated sound manipulation and melodies that should be heard from end to end to fully appreciate.

The project will also feature a video for every track on the album which Benji has also produced himself , and contain some incredible visual techniques. The video for first single 'Even Tundra for example is quite simply astonishing. It looks like CGI when in fact Benji uses industrial magnets and metallic 'Ferrofluid' (a mysterious liquid used to make computer gear that reacts to and forms solid structures on a magnetic field) to create his other worldly effects.

“The ferro fluid video idea came up when I heard about a mysterious liquid used to make computer gear that reacted to and formed a solid based on a magnetic field . I then searched around on YouTube and came across bizarre nerdy videos about ferro fluid and where they described it was a fluid filled with nano particles of iron and they also demonstrated how to film it using dslr cameras and reversed macro lenses. The water color idea just happened on the day of filming as my kids paint set was lying around.
On the day me and twisted's stage manager/ photographer set up a blue Peter-esque micro film studio in my living room and just played around all day filming the fluid react to very strong rare earth magnets and then injecting water color paint with a syringe. The rest was hours of final cut tweaking by me.” BENJI

A concept with the output that draws you in :-)
Saafi Brothers new album  "Live on the Roadblog" is going to be released on Iboga Records in February 2014.
Music and ideas and the interaction process will always go on, the Saafi Brothers tell us a lot of stories. With "Live on the Roadblog" they walk a deep line between ambientdub orientation and blissed out beats. Luca Anzilotti, George DIN and Rikta join Gabriel Le Mar, Michael Kohlbecker and Groovetitan for the production. 

Sleepless-faced on music Saafi Brothers digged deep into a series of "live recording sessions", rediscovering the emotional depth of "real-time-created-music" after a couple of live shows that fueled the idea of creating an entirely live recorded album. In a jammin´ good time it becomes more and more developing into something more meaningful, working with lyrics and create moments.

The crossing line in this axis is the storytelling aspect that is reflected in the directional lyrics, based on poems by George DIN. It´s about to be off and to experience what there is to experience, being on the road and get a sense of freedom. Performed by Plug and Markie J. "Life on the Roadblog" becomes a selection of short stories where the true soundtrack of Saafi Brothers bounce into.

Finally an undisputed link in the album is the balance of machine language and organic live performance that creates the man-machine aspects of electronic music in their very own language - and on the other side the overall layer is linked to Dub music, in style as a production technique and electronic music that mixes up with electro-acoustic live performance - all in real-time and without auto-sync.

The result is the organic flow and deepness in "Live on the Roadblog", linking the message like secret friends on the road.

Multiverse (Original)

Saafi Brothers - Multiverse (Original)

Animalia is the debut album of electronic music producer Findingthings. It demonstrates an exploration of sound design during her first year and a half studying electronic music production at dBs Music in Bristol. Her music is not easy to categorise into a specific genre and can best be described as experimental and downtempo. The general theme of the album is nature with the title track “Animalia” being made entirely from recordings of animals such as dogs, llamas, owls, horses and birds, collected using a portable recorder. Recordings from woodland, forests and animals feature heavily in all the tracks, particularly in the percussive elements. Various software and hardware synthesisers were also used in the creation of sounds.

About Findingthings:

Findingthings, AKA Charlotte Hughes is an electronic music producer based in Bristol, UK. She is currently in her second year of a degree in electronic music production at dBs Music. She has been making music for 2 years and during this time has become particularly interested in collecting and manipulating “found sound” from nature (hence the name “Findingthings”), as well as sound synthesis. She is predominantly influenced by producers such as Yosi Horikawa, Maribou State, Nicolas Jaar etc. but listens to a wide range of music from psychedelic rock to techno.

SHIFTED

The Kundalini Has Shifted {{ Namaste 2012 }}

When the hell is it? We made that whole thing up. There are no numbers up the sky. I've looked... The'yre not there

Experience with Eternity

We are all different as much as we are the same. We all connect to the same Source of Universal Consciousness and manifest the things we learn in this dimension. This story stretches for thousands of miles, from deep in the Amazonian jungle to the Middle-East and even down in the Australian Outback. Different cultures, different sounds and yet the same message resides in all of them. At times being very melodic and at others a bit rough on the listener, the music will connect you to Mother Earth and the Divine regardless of past beliefs and systems.
