Zauberstab V.A. Volume 1 is a compilation of electronic bedroom music made by contemporary artists that belong to similar sonic spheres.

The A side feels like a holiday in an exotic landscape; the kind of place you don't want to leave. The B side then goes in a slightly deeper meditative direction, but not too far, since the sparking disco-infused psych exploration of ’Space Surfari’ will hold you back from falling into the void of the unconscious.

What comes next is the sound that would welcome a moonlit night sky. The C side slinks into a minimal synth oriented exploration, ending with the intergalactic hopeful drift of ‘Har’.

The last side will provide a comfortable seat on this hypnotic journey. ‘Été 2017’ is an ode to the late summer nights, a mind-driving loop carried by gentle percussive sounds, filled with some bass deepness. The next tracks are the right balance between a hug and a breeze of fresh air for your mind and soul.

At this point you might find yourself wondering if it’s a good idea to open your eyes or just keep them closed for a bit longer and thoroughly enjoy all of the details of this story.

But, why not? This one is, after all, a record to build beautiful memories with.

Zauberstab V.A. - Volume 1 (LIOVA01)

ret is interested in music and sound, looking for new ways to think about the two. He djs (as ret and his alter-ego Rıza); co-hosted radio shows (Bankpank, means, Madem Evdeyiz and A.I.D.); reads, writes and edits texts on sound; works as a music director (karga and kargART); co-organizes independent festivals (multiRAID, parAID, bankparnaval, Açıkppqqmm); compiles music (Noisy Ground, In Sync); participates in collectives (A.I.D., ppqqmm, Açık Alan) and sometimes steps away from the underground to manage a major string orchestra from Istanbul (Istanbul Strings). When djing, he is after mixing tracks and samples off context to accompany everyday politics, in search of an expression of meaning beyond sound.
