After a 5 year hiatus, Tel Aviv based artist Naduve, returns to Cocktail d’Amore Music with Hypogeum. Each of these tracks facilitates its own special part in the life of party. Starting off on a hypnotic and forward driven note Echo Wave Bay leads dancers perfectly into hypnosis with its trance inducing melodies which wave upward and downward. Title track Hypogeum begins to pull on the heart strings with its soft synths floating over pastel textures before giving way to the aptly titled FX Jungle, a deep trip into the low lying canopies of your imagination. Ending where we began Thursday Gem explores the same cyclical themes as Echo Wave but in a subdued fashion making it a perfect choice for winding down any raucous party.

Some might say dance music isn’t political. Bollocks to that, it has been, it is and always will be political. It’s important that we remember our roots in such strange times and this new release on Optimo Music seeks to emphasise and define the importance of protest.

Recent legislation has been introduced seeking to ban the right to protest, it’s all gone a bit George Orwell but everyone’s been too busy watching shit TV and buying things they don’t need to notice.

During the 20/21 lockdowns A Man Called Adam’s Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones battened down in their studio-base on the wild, industrial North East coast where Sally grew up. The resulting recordings, released as an album later this year, draw influence from the raw nature and raging seas of the ancient Jurassic coastline, the working men’s clubs, Chemical Cities and seaside towns that fall into the mouth the river Tees. The tracks – from Kate Bush-like wonky pop to arthouse bangers and ambient electronica – explore themes of memory, solitude, expectation and finding peace immersed in the detail and deep time of the landscape.

Ammonite, the first release from these sessions, is a surprisingly ferocious deep/tech-house workout with acidic synths layered over a thundering sub bass and motoric beats. Described as “Carl Craig meets DJ Pierre or Bug In The Bassbin meets Wild Pitch” by one industry pundit, Ammonite - like the fossils embedded in the ancient mudstone – is as hard as nails and as likely to endure.
The sleeves in this series of releases feature iconic photographs taken in the 70s by local photographer Robin Dale of people and places around Teesside.

PREMIERE : A Man Called Adam - Ammonite (Hold On To That) Rave Dub

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/ellis-swan
Track: It Could Be Worse
Label: https://soundcloud.com/quindirecords
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, LP
Release date: 12/10/22

Drawing the night in around his private, unnerving vigil, Ellis Swan returns to Quindi Records with an album of cracked beauty and haunted balladry. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter debuted on the label last year with a collaborative project called Dead Bandit, a vividly produced instrumental set in thrall to the badlands and a laconic, languid Americana.
Under his own name, Swan records intimate, poetic songs in a stark fashion, so fragile they might disintegrate in between your fingers were you to pick them up. He draws the microphone close to pick up every whisper and drags the music through layer upon layer of tape fuzz, leaving room for atmospheric impressions which loom out of the walls like the ghosts of past misdeeds. These pieces play on the natural distortion and delirium which occurs at the farthest end of the night – the hour before dawn might hope to break the veil of darkness.
Swan’s is a hauntological sound, but like the late Israeli rockabilly icon Charlie Megira his process strikes a spooked tone past revivalism and out of time or place. The only anchor which places Swan anywhere is the subtle presence of Katherine Swan providing lyrics to ‘3am’ and lyrics and backing vocals to ‘It Could Be Worse’.
The impression cast is of one man and his guitar, but there are other textures tucked into the music – the muffled murmur of a drum machine or a low frequency organ hum, some desolate piano, other treated percussive impulses which might well have been the work of incidental sprites while the four-track was rolling.

PREMIERE | Ellis Swan - It Could Be Worse [Quindi Records] 2022

Soreab presents his debut, self-released album, Muğla's Chronicles.

"I started working on this music project back in 2016, when I lived and worked in Turkey, in Bodrum (Muğla Province) for six months. Each track is informed by episodes that I personally went through while living in Turkey, like a diary of sounds and voices. During my stay there, I imagined myself as a child visiting Turkey for the first time, experiencing the everyday and learning new things for example how to play an instrument, like the Turkish Lute which is present in each track of the LP."

"I have let this project sit in a folder for some years until lockdown 2020 when in London it felt right to add something new to it, influences I didn’t have when I was in Turkey or simply to dive again into the Aegean Sea from the comfort of my home studio. Whilst keeping it true to its origins, I was able to turn and twist a Turkish Lute into something familiar to my present influences (UK Techno, Leftfield Bass, Dub, IDM, Jungle and especially Club/Rhythm focused Drums and Percussions) fast forward to 2022 and establishing a connection between these two worlds."

PREMIERE : Soreab - The Atlantic Craves a Dance

We’re always happy to welcome a new artist on board. Uranio Empobrecido is the alias of Jorge Gutierrez, the founder and head engineer of the NANO Modules synthesizers brand based and born in Valencia.

He creates his music using his own modular creations together with drum machines. Influenced by electro & breakbeat his music is mechanical, dark and cold as ice. But full of analog warmth at the same time. Here we have three new examples of his raw, energetic and very personal take on electronic music. Moving electrons back and forth!

We instantly thought in Ratlife’s honcho and electro wizard Credit 00 to remix one of the tracks on the ep. He choosed “Bandpass Activated” and delivered a monster of a remix with his very own sound signature.

For the second remix we asked Facets head of Samo records. He delivered a 4x4 dope rework paying tribute to Valencia’s “ruta del bakalao” sound and energy. Perfect way to complete the ep.

Cover art by Pedro Noguera. Mastered by Julen Alza.
