Kinny & Horne- Dignity

XX, Pingipung. A Record Label Turns 20.
This is the opening track for our anniversary release "XX, Pingipung".

2002-2022, that’s 20 years of Pingipung! The German record label celebrates its anniversary with exclusive tracks by a fine selection of artists from the label roster as well as new names. Instead of looking back at the classics, Pingipung chose to compile a kaleidoscopic preview of possible future directions for the label. 
The line-up features playfully melancholic songs by Museum Of No Art, Peter Power or The Notwist, an excursion to the desert by RVDS or a psychedelic take on Dub in Tolouse Low Trax’ remix for the Ainu singer Umeko Ando. Artists such as Anadol, Y Bülbül, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, M.RUX, Sven Kacirek, Schlammpeitziger, Peter Presto and F.S.Blumm are already well known to the Pingipung audience. They contribute exclusive new tracks, adding to their existing output on the label.  
It’s impossible to file this compilation under a genre, which is exactly the case with Pingipung in general - bull’s eye. The collection of tracks is pressed in the perfect format to match the Pingipung jubilee: A 2x10’’ vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

Following Javier Bergia’s compilation album Eclipse, Emotional Rescue returns to Spain for the follow up in Ishinohana. New Age, Jazz Fusion and Eastern influences are prominent, mixing electric and classic Spanish guitar with Indian and Japanese influenced percussion to a spiritual perfection.

A project bringing together Javier Bergia and friends Luis Delgado and Manuel Illán, Ishinohana sees these masters mesh the influences of rock, new age and Eastern percussion in to a cohesive whole.

With a nod to the influence of Pat Metheny throughout, Le Flor De Piedra is removed from their works in Finas Africae or as solo artists, allowing each to flourish in their craft with the framework of a group setting.   Delgado is prominent. His guitar playing ties the album together and his production looks as much to the albums of 70s and early 80s America than to Japan, where the background for the album is set.

While New Age and Jazz Fusion are oft considered areas to avoid, it’s actually the more discerning ear that realises these genres are some of the deepest and most free forms of musical expression.

The passion within Le Flor De Piedra displays as such. To not stop, listen and understand songs like Delta and Lucia and their ethereal reproach would be a travesty. The reissue of such a cult album is something worth more than that.

DARK AMBIENT - MISKATONIC SECRETS

High And Below

Being big fans of Contours, we are delighted to premiere his brilliant edit of "Mangroves" for Pyramid Project for ADA Records. 

Brought together by ADA label boss, Lasta, Pyramid Project finds Contours in collaboration with some of Kenya's most accomplished musicians, such as drummer Katumba, percussionists Abaki Simba Masta and Inspekta, and pianist Mutoriah. The full EP is released on November 13.

Perfect as an early dancefloor builder as well as in a Global Jazz set, Contours’ understanding of rhythm and tension really brings his edit of "Mangroves" to life.

With the original recording being a dramatic piece of Swahili Jazz, Contours uses the grittier elements of the composition to deliver an edit perfect for a cosmopolitan setting. Maintaining the driving elements of the bassline and rhythm section, the tension of the edit is developed by Contours’ synth work and a minimal choice of Mutoriah's riffs to build a more direct arrangement.
