The Past Is a Grotesque Animal

The Past Is A Grotesque Animal

A song for those who stand at the precipice...hold on.
You're not alone. 

Stand-Alone

Richard's previous band, @kites released their final track, 'Orwell Knows', just before singer and frontman Matthew moved to Germany. But Richard and Matthew, despite the separation, couldn't resist the chance to work together again. On a rare weekend return to London last year, Matthew recorded vocals to a captivating soundscape Richard had created.

The result: 'Where The Cherry Blossoms Grow', presents the reflections of a stranger living in a new country.

Where Cherry Blossoms Grow (feat. Matthew Phillips)

On a recent trip to Germany, I was introduced to the talented Toona. 
I hope you enjoy this remix of her recent single "Can't Stop Moving".

Toona - Can't Stop Moving (Stakkr Remix)

Sinchi & Friends 54 is London based Richard Baldwin aka @thesovietunion . We were first introduced to Rich's music by our friends No Strings Attached and the rest as they say is history. We fell in love with his track 'Anamnesis' and we were proud to release as the first on the @phantasm-records vinyl label featuring a special remix from In Flagranti and one from ourselves. Get to know the man behind it all below - 

1) Introduce yourself?

Hi I'm Rich... I’ve been fiddling around with music in some form or other as long as I can remember, and have always been fascinated by synthesizers and drum machines from a young age. I’ve made music in a meaningful fashion since I was a teenager. 

2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?

Being asked to release Anamnesis on the brand new Phantasm Records was a definite high. The original track was recorded some time ago so it’s strange how things work out. 

3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?

I’m working on a few things, mostly trying to utilize the analogue hardware I love so much. I’ve recently repaired an old Roland favourite, so will hopefully make my setup a little more permanent.

Sinchi & Friends 54  - The Soviet Union

Was doing a spring clean of the archive and came across the original instrumental of Where Cherry Blossoms Grow. Enjoy!

Where Cherry Blossoms Grow (Instrumental)

@NightNoiseMusic returns with a new release from @TheSovietUnion aka Richard Baldwin. Baldwin has a signature style that is cinematic and synth heavy and has been formed over the last decade plus. A fine DJ, experienced promoter and self-confessed addict of vintage analogue synthesizers and drum machines, Richard pulls his influences from early electronica, 80s film-scores, and shades of techno right up to the present day. 

This release sees 'The Soviet Union' drawing on all their influences to craft a rugged slice of electronica. 'Emptyhead' is the track and it features additional remixes from Mind Fair, Dance Station and Ondata plus a dub mix from 'The Soviet Union' .

Release Date - 10/12/18

This Jumped-Up Boy In Livery (Wild Combination Remix)

"Gentlemen" from the LP entitled VIVA // 04.09.13.
Full album available at http://lagirlfriend.bandcamp.com/

Gentlemen

Kites was a London band composed of guitarist (Danilo), a scholar of electronics (Richard), former percussionist of The Holloways (Edwin) and a foppish pop-poet with a penchant for silk (Matthew). 

In a 2012 interview, Kites’ front man Matthew, who brings an air of Wildean decadence to the band, described their sound as: “Melodramatic provocation for discontented dreamers”. His lyrics are obsessed over by fans and his interviews have become part of Kites’ myth and intrigue.

Kites began writing tightly constructed tracks in 2010 that successfully blended synthetic textures with more organic instrumentation, creating a sound that was bold, affecting and, ultimately, irresistible. Their intensely physical and energetic stage shows have won them fans internationally and garnered comparisons to New Order, Patrick Wolf and Talking Heads in the mainstream music press. They have supported numerous, high-profile artists in recent months including The Maccabees, Jarvis Cocker, Gary Numan, The Mystery Jets, Peter Hook, Erasure, Bloc Party and many others. 

Their recent release ‘Brother’ and new track 'This Jumped-Up Boy In Livery', have received rave reviews from BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, XFM, Absolute Radio, Strong Room Alive and Q Radio . Enthusiastic support also came from the printed press including Q Magazine, Musicweek, i:D Magazine, Notion Magazine, Artrocker, Time Out, The Evening Standard, The Sunday Mirror, The Sun (Scotland) and across the blogosphere; The 405, This Is Fake DIY, Breaking More Waves and so on. Q Magazine also chose 'Art Tastes Better Blind' as one of their best tracks of 2011 and an essential download in their January 2012 issue. Artrocker Magazine premiered the single’s video.

The band release 'This Jumped-Up Boy In Livery' in April 2012 on CD, 7" and digitally. The band will be playing at various festivals nationwide this summer and are touring the UK and EU relentlessly for the rest of the year.
