Moonshots (Jan. 2023)

The wind beat heavily against her face, whipping her hair into a frenzy and urging her to squint against its sheer force. Edging closer to the precipice, and peering inquisitively over the cliff face she quickly gulped and shuffled backwards. She considered herself open-minded, up for an adventure, for trying things she'd never tried before, but she had to draw the line somewhere. And this was her line; her 'absolutely not'.

Lithuanian imprint Electric Shapes are no stranger to voyaging through strange, cosmic and alluring sonic terrain to mine for the very best unreleased gems. Their yearly Unreleased Territory compilation gathers artists who are part of their musical orbit, some who you'll see return year on year and others who are fresh faced and make their debuts for the first time. On the fourth instalment of the series, they've gathered a whopping 28 tracks from the likes of Etbonz and Gem Wallow to Dazion and Full Circle who each in turn venture into psychedelic sludge, trance-inducing waters and dark, mysterious lands.

Unreleased Territory vol. 4

PREMIERE: Full Circle - Absolutely Not [Electric Shapes]

In a world where magic still roamed free, there lived a rare and magnificent bird known as the Kashmiri Red. It was said that whoever possessed one of its feathers would be granted immense power and wealth. Many sought to capture the bird, but it was elusive and could only be found deep in the enchanted forests. One day, a young girl named Lily stumbled upon the Kashmiri Red while on a journey to find her missing father. She was amazed by the bird's beauty and, to her surprise, it granted her one of its feathers as a gift. From that day on, Lily's life was filled with wonder and adventure as she discovered the true extent of the magic within the Kashmiri Red's feather.



Beigean, returns to his own Tava Discs label drawing on his inherited archive of Punjabi folk, Bollywood disco, and encyclopedic knowledge of UK club culture. This release features a quadruple attack of deeply effective, disarmingly personal rave movements.  Beigean's unique  ability to blend cultural heritage with club culture has made him a standout of late.

Listen!

PREMIERE: Beigean - Kashmiri Red

It were as if he were swimming in some sort of thick soup, the air was exhaustive to breathe and engulfed the senses in a dense weighty fog. It was like moving through heavy cream, weighed down by the very thing which kept him afloat.

He wondered how obvious it was to those all around him, did they notice as he weaved slowly between passers by as if in some sort of dream like haze. Did they notice as he tiptoed between the glow of flickering streetlights as the sounds and sirens of the city all around him swallowed it all up like some sort of pointed shark.

Who knew where his mind was? For he did not...

Kulture Galerie kickstart a new venture with the first release on the new label coming on strong and featuring a heavyweight cast of producers. Abdul Raeva, Gene Tellem and Nesa Azadikhah all feature on the first record on the imprint which is run by Metropolitan Soul Museum.

However, it is the Alien D track which we showcase today, music from a producer who we reckon is one to watch at the moment...

PREMIERE: Alien D - Heavy Cream [Kulture Galerie]

Bristol-based DJ and producer Jamie Paton has been at it for almost 15 years. Starting out as one half of Cage & Aviary - a duo alongside pal George Hoyle who charted releases for DFA, Internasjonal and Dissident - Jamie went on to carve out his own path; one lined with heady, tripped out sounds to move the mind and the body.

Since going solo his music has does the rounds on some of our favourite labels, we're talking Höga Nord, Emotional Especial and the dearly departed Bahnsteig 23.

There's plenty more in the works too. In between his other job as a graphic designer, Jamie's been in the studio cooking up more potent electronics, some of which will soon see the light of day on ESP Institute and Multi Culti, along with another fresh project in collaboration with R$N extended family member, Chez De Milo.

Ahead of all that good stuff in the pipeline, we asked Jamie to supply a mix for us, a task he graciously accepted. Across two hours he takes us down a wormhole of hypnotic electronics, leftfield synth excursions and trippy rhythms. Let yourself get lost....

Stream/Download BJF | Pressure 🔗 orcd.co/bjf-pressure

Pressure is the third EP from Parisian DJ and producer BJF (@djbjf). It follows Iridescent and Uprooted, released in 2020 and 2022. A key member of the collective, label, and media Couvre x Chefs, BJF has released original tracks on several record labels (Lowup, Egregore, XXIII, Sacrilejio Records, Météo ) and a bunch of thoughtful edits. His productions have been played on Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM, Rinse France, Hör, BBC, Reprezent, etc.

Just months after the acclaimed Uprooted, BJF is back on the label arm of Couvre x Chefs with an explosive three-track EP ready to sweat clubs and shake festivals. Entitled Pressure, this one reinforces the style of BJF which he refines release after release: resolutely club percussive titles, punctuated with characteristic ad-libs, increasingly (re)worked vocals, and sharp melodies. On the percussion side, the producer from Greater Paris finely selects cuts with precision and reassembles to the millimeter the most boiling rhythms from the four corners of the planet. The result is by nature unclassifiable - post club, hybrid club, or global club - but promises to make everyone agree on the dancefloors of Melbourne to Saõ Paulo via Paris or Berlin.

Jahla - Too Fast - (PA MELE RIDDIM)

When Void+1 intercepted intel of Znzl, an entity with green hair whose appearance has been linked to mysterious earthquakes, it immediately dispatched for "recruitment". After losing 2 ground units during the operation, V+1 resolved to diplomacy and managed to negotiate a deal code-named "Ancestraldatabreach", that contents of will not be disclosed to the public, other than 4 tracks that emerged as a consequence of the process.
"Significant Bound" is the result of Znzl's experimentation with new production techniques. A breakbeat/techno hybrid that might have a mind of its own, seemingly capable of some form of speech in particular segments of the track.
"Obfuscate" is a minimalist tool-track that hides it's underbelly of bass between razor sharp kicks while occasionally glittering in the darkness.
As if Znzl alone wasn't overpowered enough, he calls upon Radical Softness for assistance on vocals in "Alignment" and together they successfully convey the script of a cyborg going to an energy healer for alignment of its chakras (foreshadowing alert.exe).
The contract concludes with "As The Fire Consumes Us", evoking images of silhouettes being projected on concrete walls as they dance around the bonfire.

We remember over a year ago the latest installment of Crysta Ampullaris, bringing together a host of guests from all corners of the country to offer us an eclectic opus, where stylistic boundaries were shattered to give prominence to sound design and a post-covid club vision unique to each individual. While it goes without saying that we thrive on sharing, we must also know how to refocus on the essentials, and it is through reflection on a common aesthetic that this new volume was born.

“Tribe.” A marginal musical style, long nestled in the free party culture, now seems to infuse into the most mental and fast-paced forms of electronic music. We wanted to take a look at our own roots, in the muddy grounds of our regional soundsystems, where everyone is invited to uncompromising sonic journeys. It is where nature, humans and technology come together in a joyful celebration of inner and outer life. The familiar faces from previous volumes are present: Nigm, Slowglide and Ayuji deliver three energetic and shamanic tracks, exploring fast grooves, hypnotic patterns and twisted landscapes. New faces also make their appearance, such as Numa, a founding member of the collective, presenting a generously psychedelic and textured debut track. Additionally, Perdu et Retrouvé from Venus Club introduces a superb dreamy and tribal collaboration with Shonen Bat.

As you can see, this new volume is an invitation to travel, to move and to connect ; as moving and being moved is our mantra.

Tracklist: 

1. Nigm - Rift Of Spirits
2. Slowglide - Ikeda Map
3. Ayuji - The Lost Lagoon
4. Numa - Mapinguari
5. Perdu et Retrouvé & Shonen Bat - TribeAdvisor

“Anchored in the real world to better escape it.” Vague Imaginaires collaborates with marginalised individuals.

__________________________________________________

In the world of sound and song, where hearts entwine,  Vague Imaginaires, with melodies divine,
He weaves the tales of those unseen, unheard, The homeless souls, with stories untransferred.

Les Sueurs de l’Orage, through stormy skies they tread,  Psychiatric patients, where thoughts are often thread,
In their struggles, they find a voice, profound, Within the notes, their inner worlds resound.

Refugees, displaced in lands unknown, Seeking solace, in the music softly sown,
Versatile records, the canvas they employ,  To share their pain, their hopes, their joy.

With each chord struck, and every lyric penned,  These marginalized souls, they find a friend,
In Vague Imaginaires’ world, they’re not ignored, Their melancholic experiences, now adored.

For music has the power, to heal and to restore, To bridge the gaps, to open every door,
In the embrace of these verses, we all unite, To listen, to empathise, to see their light.

__________________________________________________
 

Vague Imaginaires collaborates with marginalised individuals; the homeless, psychiatric patients, social workers and refugees, infusing his music with their melancholic experiences. Blending melodies and synthesizers with the everyday sounds of life, his music transforms the mundane into a dreamlike world, like flying in a dream.

“Crickets in a palm grove, rain on a barn, freshly cut pieces of wood clicking, spring water running on froth, birds in the meadow, coal clattering on a fire, thunder on the lake, soft waves on the beach. These enchanting sounds that make places what they are.”

We’re premiering lead track Les Sueurs de l’Orage.
