Swap is proud to present the new conceptual mini LP of the artist K21, 'Mount Helicon', recorded on hardware live.

The music style of ‘Mount helicon’ is dub but mostly techno album. Dark and captivating, it will make you fly above the fuzzy mountains of Helicon where the muses dance endlessly. The depth and the rhythm of theses songs create an hypnotic effect on human beings. Let the delicate feeling of ‘Mount Helicon’ guide you to the exit.

Featuring: Elektron Machinedrum, Akai MPC2000, Ensoniq DP4, Art Mutiverb, Akai S950, Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine, Console Fostex 450, Elektor Formant Modular Synth, Ableton Live (just for the voice…).

Eric Michel aka. K21 has been an active member of the French Rave-party movement since 1994, and has released several 12-inches on various underground labels. Commander in chief of 'Y Records', his wide influence line of sight goes from Maurisio, Monolake… but from too Scorn, Bill Laswell, Miles Davis, Afx…

Beside his artist name 'K21', Eric is using various monikers such as 'Kroma', 'Captain Pandor' or 'The Paranoid Black Sheep'... Each one representing his distinct musical playgrounds.

Swap is proud to present the new EP of Nomenklatür, which includes 2 originals tracks 'Minautor In The Lost' and 'Scripto Continum' and also 3 remixes by Samuel Brunel, and the label owners Redj and Zecapx.

French electro duet Nomenklatür is fruit of the meeting in 2005 between Olivier Brucker and Olivier Rossi during Kurbel night organized 5 years ago at the Ostgut's club in Berlin. Two characters with different backgrounds merge and give birth to an original style that investigates the dark face of the techno, distils a fluid and massive electro sound that surrounds you with a synthetic dance universe.

Nomenklatür describes the process in detail: We've first received some voices from Gigi Succes the singer on Aerobic (the project formed by David Carretta). We wanted to make ambiances and modulating sounds around the voices with external sources to create an organic listening experience. We wanted to keep something growing in a cyclical process in order to be efficent in the dancefloor and to get in the mood of old raves.

The 2 originals tracks are recorded with external sources and self-produced sounds using Korg synths (MS 20 & 800 DV), pieces of a drum kits from Elektron Machine Drum, Microwave of Waldorf and a modular rack to create and also hardware treatment effects.

This release includes 3 remixes: Samuel Brunel delivers a Techno remix of 'Minautor In The Lost' and Redj constructed a pur cyclical version of this same original track. To close this release, Zecapx explores the darker side of things with a deep and atmospheric version of 'Scripto Continum'.

Enjoy it!

Release Information:
Cat#: Swap015
Title: 6ft Under The Pole
Artists: Yoshihiro Arikawa
Remixes: Seph, Nomenklatür, Zecapx, Redj, Ghini-B
Release date: 11.03.2013

Tracklist:
1-Yoshihiro Arikawa - 6ft Under The Pole (Original Mix)
2-Yoshihiro Arikawa - 6ft Under The Pole (Seph Remix)
3-Yoshihiro Arikawa - 6ft Under The Pole (Nomenklatur Remix)
4-Yoshihiro Arikawa - 6ft Under The Pole (Zecapx Remix)
5-Yoshihiro Arikawa - 6ft Under The Pole (Redj & Ghini-B Version)

For the new release, Swap sent six artists through various horizons to achieve an experimental research under the pole directed by a japanese scientist.
 
Yoshihiro Arikawa founded Kodaira Tracks, one of the first minimal labels in Japan, and started to release tracks as d'Kawa in 2003. He released music from Kodaira Tracks and labels such as Logistic Records up until 2009.
He is back now with a combination of deep and dub techno are the leading materials shaped within the hands of the producer, always hooking up ourselves. He has recently released EP's on some famous labels like Affin, Labrynth and Hypnotic Room. 
As for the main track, Yoshihiro Arikawa made an underground deep and dub techno track with efficient sound design, slow tension and icy atmosphere.
 
Seph delivers a dubby remix with a half funky half catchy bassline. Build around smooth off-beat elements, somehow glitchy and spicy. When you will heard it, just let your feet loose because of this richly textured groove-infested rhythm.
 
After the warm welcome received by the previous release « Minautor In The Lost », Nomenklatur comes back with an interesting work. A dancefloor oriented remix with a dubby touch, using the originals samples partly in order to stay organic.
 
Zecapx gives a tough bassy remix with powerful hypnotic acid sequences, uplifted by ghostly elements,slamming claps that collide and just penetrate your brain.

The duo Redj & Ghini-B took a deep-driving atmosferic approach that will lead to something really spacey and cinematic, giving a spacious interpretation with a rough grain.  

Then, don't forget that because we are 6 feet under the pole, follow the oxygen and dance in order to escape drowning.
