(Rel: M.= Addiction 2002) .. 320 - One of those rare times that a demo has caused consternation within our City Centre Offices family was when Dictaphone s compelling and unbeleiveably complete debut album reached us some time earlier on this year. The main player behind the dictaphone name is Oliver Doerell, a multi instrumentalist originally from Brussels who now resides in the musical heartland of Berlin. The last 3 years have been spent working on the Dictaphone project, assisted by the saxophone and clarinette playing Roger Döring. Their past has been spent in similar fields, Oliver has composed numerous scores for theatre work, and Roger has a film soundtrack for "Alaska.de2000" which was a major box-office hit in Germany. Their first full length work, M.=addiction is a beautifully crafted work that trancends classification with all its throwbacks to Jazz, Electronica and found sound works. Points of reference ranging from the Cinematic Orchestra through to Boards of Canada and down to a deeply unconscious underground aesthetic, the beauty of this album is in its warmth, its accessability and its undeniably microscopic, home-baked construction. One of the loveliest albums that we´ve released to date, retaining a gloriously widescreen cinematic edge, we are immensly happy that this album is finally available to public consumption, warming up the cockles of any who come in its way. Sublime.

Kobza Vajk - Kara Libanon
12" black vinyl with Kobza Vajk's drawings 
PRE-ORDER >>> https://budabeats.bandcamp.com/album/kara-libanon

A&R: Dj Gandharva & Von Yodi
Mastering: Anders Peterson (GS Mastering, Stockholm)

Label: Budabeats Records
Cat. number: BUBE-039
Release date: 18. 11. 2019

The title track is a live recording from 2008, perfectly setting the mood for the whole EP: psychedelic shaman music with powerful oud chords and a hypnotic Middle Eastern atmosphere. 

Kobza Vajk is a Hungarian self-taught psychedelic folk musician who has been playing the oud and other obscure stringed instruments, like kithara or the lute for more than 15 years. His main influences are folk and ancient music of all kinds, what brings these together is his contemporary approach of composing and the oriental technique he plays his instruments with. This release focuses on his original work from the late 2000's with a few reinterpretations coming from established e-music producers.

Stay tuned for other remixes by Perdu, Multi Culti boss Dreems, and long time Budabeats family member, BéTé.

For today’s exclusive track premiere, we are honoured to share with you James Murray‘s slow-burner, titled “In Your Head” which is literally a half of his brand new album, titled "Embrace Storms" [the other half, being another long-player, “In Your Heart”], released as a multi-format split between his very own Slowcraft and KrysaliSound labels. The two pieces sonically capture the weather patterns which are rising and subsiding, rising and subsiding, all on their own, in the caverns of your mind, body and soul, where, instead of fighting, or even worse, identifying with this uncontrollable climate, you can notice, use soft focus, and then let it pass. Let it all pass… The music serves as a perfect meditative accompaniment to your daily routine, in order drown out all of that hum, and accept things as they are…

"James Murray’s new solo work takes the form of two carefully constructed long-form sound collages; twin formations gradually unfolding in continuous, ever-evolving streams of delicately controlled chaos."

The release is out in just a few days, on November 9th, 2019, and is available as a CD from Slowcraft and a beautifully pressed limited edition vinyl from Milan-based KrysaliSound imprint. Highly recommended for the seekers of their inner peace…

Embrace Storms

TRACK PREMIERE : James Murray - In Your Head

2020 plays out to the sound of "Ghost Sounds" by Polaroid Notes, who returns to the British label Whitelabrecs following 2017’s ‘Unsung Memories’.

"Ghost Sounds" treads the cinematic lines of atmospheric piano and electronic ambient music, with unsettling undercurrents which occasionally creep into view. It has been in production since November 2019 as the sound of Polaroid Notes was pushed to develop a wider variety. The recording methods, effects and techniques were painstakingly adapted through experimentation and some truly spooky moments were captured. From here, "Ghost Sounds" became an obvious working title for the album.

The basic approach behind Polaroid Notes album is an attempt to deal with our weird and uncertain times in politics, health, social separation, isolation and cocooning. "Ghost Sounds" tries to capture this strange atmosphere - somewhere between deep despair, silent hope and the wish to wake up from restless and unfullfillable dreams.

The album artwork features photographs by Polaroid Notes shot during heavy snowfall in the first few winter days of 2020 in the Black Forest.

Tracklist:
1. Remember How It Is To Float / 2. We Burn Like Stars / 3. Ghost Sounds / 4. Mute Signals / 5. Beyond The Dark / 6. Silent Dreams / 7. Stellar / 8. When The Moon Dies Again / 9. Night Tunes / 10. Drifting Slowly Towards Infinity / 11. And Morning Comes
