Adam Gillett - Rising Despite Circumstances
LP
TC02: Nostalgic Wavs 03; Rückkehrunruhe;
WLC012

Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for this year’s thematic cluster! The theme is Nostalgic Wavs and each record has been linked to a concept under the rather large umbrella of nostalgia as a function of emotional attachment to memory.

The third record in Nostalgic Wavs is Adam Gillett’s sublime LP “Rising Despite Circumstances” which is our ‘rückkehrunruhe’ selection.

tr.ee/Adam_Gillett-RDC_Feels

Rückkehrunruhe is the sensation of coming back from an immersive journey, finding it slipping already from memory as if it was all a dream, or literally translated to “coming back restlessness”. We’ve categorised it as Reflective, Present; Knowing under the Wist profile on our Nostalgic Wavs map.

Australian born, London based artist Adam Gillett is no stranger to taking listeners on deep excursions. He’s dropped some records on a small handful of labels here and there before starting his own imprint Final Future which has seen him serve up a stream of groovy, sultry, and his signature wonkiness infused tech house singles aimed squarely at smashing the dance floor. “Rising Despite Circumstances”, his first LP, however, opens a window to very different vistas.

Sure many of the tracks feel right at home on the floor but this LP is much more than just ephemeral system heaters, it is an intimately personal and uplifting homage to the beauty of life. This is a collection of blossoms unfolding upward toward clear skies, inner warmth, and radiant bliss and the tracks shimmer along a deft line: both stripped back with restraint as well as cheekily expansive as soulful vocal samples dance around top notch synth work and incredible groove craft.

“Rising Despite Circumstances” is far more nuanced and personable than just a collection of bangers - this is a cinematic and quite often arrestingly tender record full of dynamic organic energy: all underpinned by a good heart, an earnest grin and a barefoot boogie in the sunset. It is an immersive journey well worth going on and leaves one eager to restart just as the fleeting memories of its presence inevitably begin to fade.

It’s a side of Adam that even those familiar with his work have yet to see and I could not be more honoured and deeply proud to present this record on Woodland Creatures.

Secretsundaze - Stand Up

Following up on his collaborative Ep "Middle Of The Road  Less Travelled" with Michal Turtle, HOVE is back with another solo EP on his imprint Light of Other Days. The ﬁve breezy and balearic-tinged tracks were recorded and produced in HOVE’s home studio in Zurich between December 2018 and June 2019.  On "In Motion" HOVE’s sound evolves from drifting and dreamy ambiences into tape-saturated mid-tempo bumpers  right back into shimmering chords, spiked with echoing guitars  and ﬁeld-recordings. As with its predecessors, he interweaves organic sounds with seductive rhythms and percolated ambient pads into a dense yet familiar HOVE sound. "In Motion"  is inspired by the pure feeling of listening to House, Synth-Pop,  Wave, Dub and New Age records. It is HOVE’s third solo EP  and his ﬁrst release of 2019.

PREMIERE : HOVE - Right Outside (Longer Version)

Leading Mexican label Duro welcome countryman Rigopolar for four of his fantastically expansive and expressive disco tunes. The now US based Rigopolar is a cosmic explorer and space sound aficionado with credits on the likes of Tom Tom Disco dating back five or so years. His mix of disco and techno has taken him to gigs round the world, podcasts for Soma and remixes on the likes of Beat is Murder. Brilliant opener ‘Black Mantis’ is a spooky cut with a mysterious lead that takes you into a mystic forest. The drums move things on as sci-fi sounds and withering synths add details to this most evocative musical story. ‘Espiral’ is a colourful, psychedelic scandi-disco classic with looping arps taking you ever further into the stars. Its craftsmanship is second to none as it draws you deeper and deeper in. The scintillating ‘Time’ is another lush cut with plenty of glistening and glowing synths. Always ascending through the mix, they lift your spirits and hands in equal measure while the deeper drums keep your feet moving. Last of all is ‘Crashes’, a slower and more melancholic track that is paired back to a steamy vocal and rolling drums. A poignant one-finger melody brings tenderness to this brilliantly introspective closer. This is an exceptional trip though timeless disco with a difference

We Are One

PREMIERE : Rigopolar - Crashes

Sascha Funke takes control of the first remix, in this case it is 'Lazer In The Jungle' which begins with a heart beat, sounds and percussion accompany, charming minimalism until you start the journey through a conversation of synthesizers marked by arrangements that bounce from one side to another, a celestial pad appears, the textures are acidified giving way to the bass that ends up to get us into the trip. Suddenly, everything disappears, empty, air, the percussions return, the groove begins, the hook of the original theme appears for the first time so that your whole body ends up dancing until the end.

Lazer In The Jungle

PREMIERE : Roe Deers - Lazer In The Jungle (Sascha Funke Remix)

Ombra International return with another five track V/A monolith that reinforces the label’s international status. Each artist on Ombra 012 - all making their debut on Curses’ ever incisive label - hails from a different territory. Lithuania, Russia, Israel, Spain and France all representing… And all
sounding deep, mysterious, sleazy, cosmic and alluring.
Zakmina starts the trip. Building on recent release on Nein and XXX, here he ploughs a thunder like bass chug that gradually builds in its intensity. It’s a perfect scene-setter for the sleazy funk that follows; Salto Honduras continues to make the conversion from DJ to producer with the dark and drum-heavy ‘Betonada’ while Pontias takes us to the edge of the universe on a rocket made of slo-mo techno with ‘Easter Eggs’. Slow, heavy and star- gazing sexy. Dig deeper for more smouldering grooves as Mike Sacchetti’s ‘Dead As Disco’ gets full- on psychedelic in an early 200's Ewan Pearson kind of way while Volta Cab brings this heady session to close with a series of fractured electroid beats, lavish sweeping pads and a grizzly analog bassline that anchors this track deep deep deep into the dance, the night and our psyches.
Something for everyone. It’s another superlative EP from the Ombra family…

Label boss Aimes returns to his home base with a double track ep of chugging acid-tinged left-field techno. Both tracks implore multi-dimensional existiliast lyrics combined with cosmic leaning production.  
 A1 is the title track of course, describing an out of this world existential experience. The track is bouncy, fun, and slightly odd, but certainly danceable. 
 On A2 (which is offered up only on vinyl), Aimes takes the original song and turns it into a club-ready slow-burning stomper with a full on repetitious acidic bassline fit for any sleazy techno set.  
 The remix on A3 comes courtesy of Sean Johnston aka Hardway Bros (member of A Love from Outer Space with Andrew Weatherall) who turns the original into a dark and brooding version with a punchy bassline and cosmic synths.  
 Aimes’ second original on the EP, We Are Eternal, is a massive slowed down acid burner that reiterates the eternalness of humanity. Incredibly psychedelic in nature, the pulsing bass and bubbling acid line is prime for a dark and sweaty rave.  
 B2 comes courtesy of Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara who submits a cosmic, dubbed out flip of the original, taking the listener on an extended spatial journey. 
 On B3 Japanese producer Que Sakamoto and his production partner NT ramp up the bpms for a dark disco rendition of the original.

PREMIERE : Aimes - We Are Eternal (Que Sakamoto & NT Remix)

Her mind had been racing since she first laid her head on the pillow four hours ago. She couldn't seem to switch off. Instead she watched the hands of the clock move endlessly, each second feeling more like an hour. So many thoughts had cluttered her head that night she couldn't begin to disseminate them, so now she tried to think of nothing. Endless, empty thoughts with no beginning or end, with no problems or solutions. But the mind always wanders...

Following releases on Aussie labels like Butter Sessions, Ken Oath and Rhythm Works, last year Melbourne-based producer Furious Frank launched his own imprint, Mind Dance, self-inaugurating it with his Infinity Pool EP. For the second release, he teams up with his former collaborator DJ Fettburger, under his DJ Dogg alias, for three "otherworldly acid squelchers for the late night lurkers".

Twirl returns with a luscious offering from Barcelona’s nightlife stalwart https://soundcloud.com/baldo , featuring the inimitable (and Twirl staple) Josh Caffe. The duo pair up for ‘Mind Games’, a classic Chicago style house burner reminiscent of the great Finger’s, Inc. 
The Original Mix of ‘Mind Games’ whirls and enraptures with its smooth percussive elements, slick pads, and well-paced arrangement. Caffe’s lush vocals heighten the seduction as he weaves nimbly around the track with his sultry timbre. 
The Breaks Mix ventures into the mystique of the rave, adding more muscular drums and bringing the beefy bassline to the forefront. Caffe’s vocals still hold firmly in the center, winding flirtatiously around the pumping track. If the Original Mix is suitable to bring you into the night, the Breaks Version is perfect for diving further into its depths. 
Longtime Twirl family member Hannah Holland flips the track into a pulsating banger for her remix. With chopped up vocals, a driving acid bassline, jackin’ percussion, and twisted pads from the Original Mix, Holland creates a monster of a track that deftly straddles the line between house and techno. 
Industry veteran The Checkup rounds out the package with his energetic, house stomper of a remix. Caffe’s vocals are highlighted, adding a punchier, stuttering kick, extrapolated synth pads and stabbing, moody organ. It is a delightful turn that’s sure to ignite the finest of dancefloors.

FLOWER1 - Clarence Wu - Facing The Sea (Previews)

I still remember the day like it was my last, a day that will never be forgotten from the past. I can still retrace every step, every breath, every word. Every time I realised what I was doing, right up until the moment I got caught, then I blacked out... Couldn’t remember a thing until the police got there, caught me red-handed with all the evidence they needed clearly in my hands.

Miami-based DJ Ray & Goiz return with the second release on their label Open Space, following the debut outing from Goiz last May. The newest instalment, a five tracker titled Digital Lifeline, comes from their close friend, Gateway Shuffle AKA Alexander Folonari, and was written and recorded in the Italian countryside of Chianti. Our pick, 'Green Tribute' confidently merges a nostalgic acid line with slow rising pads and bouncing Balearic percussion lines, whilst creating a hard-to-grasp narrative through its unusual and suspenseful arrangement.

PREMIERE: Gateway Shuffle - Green Tribute [Open Space]
