________________________

For the label’s second release, Amsterdam imprint yeyeh has brought together two musicians from vastly different backgrounds to celebrate the far-sighted musical potential of the Theremin on the 100-year anniversary of the instrument’s invention.

“Waves” is the product of two weeks of studio collaborations between award-winning composer and Theremin soloist https://soundcloud.com/carolinaeyck and https://soundcloud.com/eversines, an electronic music producer who has previously released music on yeyeh’s sister label ninih. It builds on Eyck’s work composing for “Theremin & Voice”, with both artists playing a part in processing, modulating, layering and arranging vocal and Theremin sounds to
create six breathtaking electronic compositions.

Varied in tone and execution, the album’s six tracks are arguably closer to instrumental pop than academic electronic music. Some tracks bear comparison to the cyclical melodic movements associated with the greats of American minimalism, while others recall the alien, otherworldly futurism of the Radiophonic Workshop, classic ambient music and the sun-bright bliss of early ‘90s IDM. Yet despite these
possible perceived parallels, “Waves” sits on its own as a stunning work crafted from the simplest of musical elements.

The consequences of drawing conclusions too quickly are underestimated. You’ll end up in strange places that you can’t escape from. Only good thing is that you won’t be alone there.

Originally recorded to cassette, these five acidic tracks from Spanish-born producer and record store owner Dip Shim are a paean to his neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden.

The breadth of styles across the EP is impressive, taking in uplifting techno, mid-tempo electro, banging acid, and ambient, all created with classic analogue machines, suffused throughout with that warm tape sound and sweet sweet 303.

Tagir & Indigo Minds - Amuu

There was a gentle throb as the train rumbled beneath the city up above. It travelled from borough to borough between stations, pulsing its way through the endless city. People came and went from each carriage, from time to time they might be so interested as to cast a glance at one another but most of the time they remained solitary and silent, engaged only in the pulse of their technology and headsets. This was life in the present, a blurred reality in which faces were forgotten and replaced by screens. 

ELLLL is an Irish producer and DJ of who we have been following with intrigue in recent years. Her own music has been widely acclaimed and we ourselves have enjoyed what she has released. Now she has teamed up with Irish label Art for Blind Records to formulate the release of a compilation called Gash Trax, a record featuring all female, LGBTQ+ and queer artists from around the island of Ireland.

FM048 - Prince of Deptford (@danielcherney)

If there was a Prince of Deptford, he’d rule his glorious kingdom from The Birds Nest pub, drinking cans outside with his subjects before retiring to his Royal Barge on the Great Surrey Canal. But as it is, Prince of Deptford (who is not the Prince of Deptford, keeping up?) currently lives in Berlin, a city that doesn't hate anyone out after 10pm.

PoD, aka Daniel Cherney, joins the dots between his former South-East London home, his current Germanic residence, and East London party central (global pandemic permitting) Dalston, where he co-runs the night Happy Endings – which also has an accompanying radio show.


Inside this scalene triangle of geo-musical influence is a swirl of minimalist techno, acid electronics, vocodered Italo and industrial broken beats. And at its centroid is Unsustainable, Cherney’s label born this year to provide a home for like-minded artists, as well as his own music, previously released on labels Squareglass, Sonic Moire and Verlag. 

Factor in one more line to join up FM, where he’s served as part of the team ensuring the party runs smoothly, and you’ll briefly glimpse a four-sided triangle – the god particle of polygons.

Mix with Stan Staithes up now on Mixcloud https://www.mixcloud.com/Kitsissut/kitsissut-stan-staithes-050425/


UK/Canadian producer Kitsissut is currently based in London UK. 
 Single release Scranshums was featured by XLR8R magazine in December 2020. 
XLR8R’s Luke Cheadle commented, “really digging this track, super on point groove. It's a playful broken-beat house cut that brings to mind minimal luminaries Akufen and Metamatics, and one that we recommend playing loud.”  
Ambient pieces including She Was Starlight have featured on playlists for Auntie Flo’s Ambient Flo radio station during 2021/2022.
