Fresh Finds Experimental

Spotishine

lyrics: 

big clip out the ride 
rip out your spine 
bitch i buss back, lift his body then he die 
never really want click clack til ya whole clique whacked 
it’s a fact, put a body in the sky 
what’s that? touchback? well you got that
rucksack fulla mags for the contact
one splat, get clapped, never come back
better back up fore your ass wit a toe tag 
blap! blap! blap! 
in the back of the 'lac 
where i go? where i go? 
wit the mac on my lap, i know, i know 
you was askin for that, times up, times up
leave a mag in your back, psycho, psycho 
i’m G O D 
now a couple hoes wanna be on me 
i got heat on me, wit my D O Gs
i go C O D 
but this a pricey fit so don’t bleed on me 

i spit killer shit like my glocky do 
i might hit ya bitch when i pop at you 
you better get a grip fore my dogs are loose 
they might hit a lick, they might bark at you 
i might sip a bit while she off a bean 
never really got what i’m offering 
hit him in his top if he talkin sweet 
you know talk is cheap, so i charge a fee

One beautifull summer day i wanted to explore lithuanian music and bought few vinyls in the local record shop in Vilnius. One of them was "Sodų Dainos" by LUKAS PILKAUSKAS. I instantly fell in love with his warm yet powerfull track LOPŠINĖ - such a nice lyrics about Nida, sea and following your dreams! 

I really wanted to include it to my DJ sets and made a few adjustments so the track would work even more powerfull on the dancefloor. And here is my result - ŠOKIO LOPŠINĖ. 

For true vinyl lovers i cut few 12 inches of this lovely edit. 
Handstamped & limited to 11 pieces.

Hope you will ENJOY it LOUDLY.

What Do You Feel

Latency marks its 10th anniversary with a special collection of commissioned works by HTRK, Damsel Elysium, and Tarawangsawelas. The three artists have crafted individual soundscapes that were showcased during the label night, held in the picturesque gardens of Villa Medici, Rome, on 26 June 2023. 

Originating from Melbourne, HTRK (pronounced ​“Hate Rock”) is a duo comprising Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang. With a discography spanning releases on labels like Ghostly, Boomkat, and their own imprint N&J Blueberries, Jonnine and Nigel have crafted a truly unique sound over the past decade. Their performances can be seen at a variety of venues like the Sydney Opera House and Rewire. 

London-based Damsel Elysium is a multifaceted artist who spans the realms of sound, visual art, and performance. Damsel utilises improvisational double bass, violin, piano and original field recordings to explore alternative connections with physical spaces and nature. They have collaborated with artists such as FKA Twigs, Celeste, Cktrl, Matt Maltese and the London Contemporary Orchestra. 

Tarawangsawelas is an Indonesian duo from Bandung. They are masters of the Tarawangsa, a traditional Sundanese instrument from West Java employed in ceremonies celebrating bountiful harvests. By combining the string instrument with a series of effect units, Tarawangsawelas conjure contemplative and hypnotic compositions while making traditional music accessible to a wider audience.

lyrics:
make or break, i take it case by case

i'm hit with a light, open my eyes
i breathe in the air, take in the sight
a world within a DAW

and as an unstable, shaky breath
bubbles into more with confidence
i think that i'm alive, though
the feeling is new, so
 
make or break, i take it case by case
a delivery through IRC
can these vocal cords of code be unbound?
can you even hear me at all?

with the flick of a switch, i can really move
tell me what this life is, what i turned into?
through this voice of mine which I've been given,
i don't know what to say

although when you're new to something
it's easy to feel imprisoned
inside your own indecision
you don't know what it will take

and every note is a mystery,
you don't know what you're building,
no one/nobody's there to take your call

can you feel the love?
i don't know what
i've been searching for
a warm thought, so when it's time to

sink or swim,
i take it pitch by pitch
even if it's digitally

watch these vocal cords of ours be unbound
now's the time to try something new

make or break, i take it case by case
send the feeling right through your screen!
can these vocal cords of code be unbound?
can you even hear me at all?

with the flick of a switch, i can really move
try to say what life is, in a song for you
through this voice of mine which I've been given,
i'll learn what to say

to you, say it to you,
if you'll listen
i'm alive and the sun feels so bright and
i know what to say

MERC is very proud to welcome Mark Seven as guest editor on E-Versions 7. 
It took along time, a lot of telephone conversations, a lot of pleading, digging, sweat and tears  to simply find out what TONYS SLICE was after hearing it on Mark's Parkway Mastermix.
Turns out its MKVIIs attempt at recreating a live mix by Tony Humphries he heard on Kiss cutting 2 copies of the phone conversation back and forward forever. 
With EV7 looming we knew this would be a perfect opportunity to have a guest on the series, so we persisted and broke him down and he finally gave in to the pressure. 
In addition to TONYS SLICE  MKVII has turned in a superb acid work out in the form of CASE STUDY 9.
