Wojtek Kurek - Eai 21 [ppt45]

Gapside, a collective originated out of Brooklyn NY, debut their sound on Sida A, with a 15 minute collage of jazz samples, a whopping contrabass, modular rhythms and a tale about Jazz, Adam and Eve.

What lurks in their imagination, they snatch with no hesitation. A location with no nation, only wibration. In a place where the basslines walk down the boulevard freely and the parks full of mighty swings, 3 kids from the Gapside of town, young kings without crowns, presenting the introduction with this session, to turn the frowns upside down.

First up they made the oceans, and then the trees and the birds and the bees. So sit back, listen, and say “AHA!” The outlaws are out of hiding...

Yo yo yo! I kinda fucked up the uploading format, so the high-end sounds a bit off. Soundclouds re-encoding is a pain in the ass. If you download it you'll hear it in its true form.

Anyways, here is "Sandsborg".

Fantastic Twins - Lost In Germany EP

A1) Why Are You Here? - 8.04
A2) Wrong Place Wrong Time Wrong People - 8.15

B1) Fur Stunden Lang - 7.42

The fourth AF Trax release is a three track EP from our long time ally The Fantastic Twins, who has the following to say about her EP - 

This EP is a small collection of works I crafted over the past couple of years in the process of working on my live show. I have been performing versions of these tracks countless times and yet never played them twice the same way. To me, they have been material in constant motion, so shaping them into a “finished” form was a risky challenge. Something I was also wary of - would it mean they would become set in stone? Would it mean I’d have to somehow “rationalise" the music - via the mind - as opposed to letting it run into the wildness of its physical live experiences? 

Whilst editing these tracks into a format that could be released, I realised that instead of shaping them into the mould my mind first intended to give them, I could in fact use the power they revealed each time I performed them to an audience and inject some of that energy - as much as it is possible to capture and recreate it in the studio - back into this EP. Then of course, it meant letting go on things I usually like to control more, and better. 

But isn’t it the power of music to let it take you where you didn’t plan to go? And how incomplete would the music be if our inspiration didn’t feed off the collective experience of dancing to music together? I’ve lost myself (and my twins) many times throughout the process - not only on German soil - I have sometimes landed in the wrong place, but I may have found one answer yet in the form of another question. Why are we here if we can’t dance?

That reminds me of the words of Pina Bausch “Dance, dance or we are lost”. Lost in our internal struggles as individuals (or imaginary twins). Lost in a society where our relation to the other is often marked by fear, power or violence. We feel the need to resist. Yet nowadays, taking a political stance as an artist is too often being instrumentalised as another tactics or accessory to gather more popularity, reducing the political message to nothing else but a branding attempt. Isn’t it anyway the power of capitalism to assimilate everything, even contradictory or once-upon-a-time subversive voices? All to end up on a “Rave” or “Feminist” H&M t-shirt. Slogans that have been emptied of their initial force and substance, now replaced by their commercial value. I strongly doubt that more empty words poured in vain on social media will help us much. But, like Pina Bausch, like JD Twitch, I have always firmly believed in dancing as a physical, social and fundamental act that leads us to share a common space with others and embrace otherness. Standing together, dancing together when everything else forces us to divide. 

May the music on this EP be, I hope, a possible answer to its own title.

Innershades presents a heavy and vibrant trip through electro, new beat, techno and acid on Ocular Unity, the 12th release on our main label.

Following up on his 'Aalst To Charlois' rave weapon released on last year on MTRON005, the Belgian producer continues to push his signature sound in new directions, maintaining harmony and once again underlining his undeniable strength in producing hypnotizing electronic music for the floor.

From the A-side's fast paced force in 'Ocular Design' and 'Cycle of Life', to the introspective journey 'Zuiderpark' and all-powerful slow drive of 'End Life', Innershades comes full circle on Ocular Unity and adds another stellar record to his already impressive discography.

Innershades - Ocular Design [MTRON012]

Slacker returns to the Lobster fort this time with a sublime four-tracker combining a mixture of melodic electro, addictive breaks and nods of dub-techno on the LT-UNDR series. 

'Leviathan’ kicks off the EP with abyssal acid lines leading into swelling melodies and heightened tension.

‘Next Time’ takes us on a rhythmic journey, galloping through dusty breaks and sparkling synth lines on a space voyage of hinting dub techno.

On the flip side, ‘Last Train To Sector 4C.31’ sends us into a dream state. Melancholic strings and distant sirens are followed by a lost voice of longing which then combines with crunchy pads to create an ethereal sense of reverie. 

Ushered by a croaking distortion buffered with calming tranquil chimes, ‘Journey Past The Clouds’ massages intricate drums and peaceful nostalgia leaving a feeling of amplified harmony.

Special Request returns from hibernation with four albums he made in his underpants. 

Of the new material, he tells us: 

"I had a right fucking doss making this. Fuck all that conceptual guff m888" 

Strictly bowel-evacuating bangers. Those of a nervous disposition should also watch out for incontinence. 

Many people think you can't do anything truly NEW in electronic music. 
Special request disagrees. He elaborates: 

"nah, that's bollocks" 

Upon playing some of the new tracks to a friend, the question "are u alright m8?" was asked. 

Now you, the avid listener, can answer for yourself.

New lovechild of BAR club in Rotterdam, this one year old label releases different musical vibes but always related to club culture. After 2 brilliant various releases including Sacha Mambo, Fader, Zombies In Miami and Pin Up Club, this 3 issue features The Hague’s bad boy JEANS and Milan’s rising duo Younger Than Me for a special super dancefloor-friendly selection.  Grand Theft Auto, damn, some of you may know how perfect it is to satisfy your appetite for destruction, and that heavily hypnotic breakbeat is definitely the perfect soundtrack for off road mountain downhill in garbage truck or a bazooka gang war in the streets of San Fierro; in mean, in the game of course. Built around a pumping acid bass, big beat drums, weird background works and brilliant melodic breaks, close your eyes and you will instantly will be in the middle of Rotterdam’s legendary club,  peak time mood. Out on may 28th.
