New York-based label Kindergarten Records is thrilled to unveil Ayesha’s (@aye5ha) debut album, ‘Rhythm is Memory’ – 10 boundary-pushing tracks, a shape-shifting percussive journey with electric moments. While intended for maximum dancefloor impact, Ayesha’s first LP is also conceptually thought-provoking and playful, exploring how bodies store and channel creative knowledge.

Ayesha - Rhythm is Memory (KINDER016)
Out on Kindergarten Records on November 3, 2023

Ayesha - Tactilia

First-time collaborators Belia Winnewisser and Luca Durán have struck a balance between low end pressure, day-glo hyper-pop and hyper-fwd braindance on Präsens Editionen.

Set for release on the label arm of Lucerne’s ever-inquisitive zweikommasieben magazine, ‘Tid’ is the handiwork of kindred spirits committed to embracing hybridity in all their endeavours. Decidedly contemporary gear from two of Switzerland's foremost innovators.

Sitting alongside remixes from RHR and Low Jack, our pick, ‘Luz’, pairs Winnewisser’s hauntingly disembodied vocals with precision-tooled club dynamixxx.

More full-throttle biz from @toma-kami as he jumps back on the ‘Speed Oddity’ series.

Set for release on his Man Band label, ‘Speed Oddity vol. III’ deploys accelerated styles to exhilarating effect. Peak-time, breakneck rudeness that darts between genres with reckless abandon. 

Our pick - the appropriately titled ‘hash mix’ of ‘Blades’ - marks a departure from what we've come to expect of the series. Low-end surge still intact, Kami opts for smoked-out breaks while ditching the original’s hard-edged ferocity in favour of gentler hues and woozy rolige. 

‘Speed Oddity vol. III’ is out November 17th on Man Band.

Ma Sha - Elastik EP

Release date: 27 October 2023
ma-sha.bandcamp.com/album/elastik-ep

Nervous Horizon is delighted to welcome New York-based producer and DJ Ma Sha to the roster with a high-voltage three-track EP titled "Elastik".

For her Nervous Horizon debut, the Kindergarten' honcho immerses herself in a solitary sonic journey drawing inspiration from the concept of self-isolation-induced time distortion and the interplay of the diverse rhythms intertwining in her environment. From the quick motion of people outside her Ridgewood apartment juxtaposed with the slow, fluid movements of her indoor plants, to the intense traffic on Myrtle Ave contrasting the flowing red light shadows on her studio walls, Ma Sha blends warped reality and sound exploration forming the perfect collage.

Shaping her distinct solo sound with a focus on finding a balance between her critical thinking and intuition, each track resonates with different emotional states. By aligning heavily time-stretched elements with chopping and granulation techniques, Ma Sha skillfully incorporates the altered time concept within the tracks' structure. If "KV December" mirrors unpredictable emotional fluctuations, in both "Myrtle Warp" and "Psyspi" vocal textures' shifts and layered synths co-exist with bold and sharp percussion. Accompanied by a fresh take by Ehua on one of the originals, the EP unravels around a warped perception of time while consistently maintaining the playful atmosphere that defines Ma Sha's personality and the music that truly inspires her.

Before I start releasing new music next year, I have to let go of one thing first. 

Not many people know, but last year in April I lost all my project files (thanks Dropbox backup!). My entire project folder, and everything that I worked on for the past three years were instantly wiped out. This included what would have been my second album. Written during the pandemic, It was not yet finished but I had almost 25 demos to pick from.

At first I was deeply upset and sad for days. Eventually I started to get over it: I was never fully into the album – I liked it but also had my doubts, that it wasn’t as strong as my first album – I didn’t know how it would’ve been received, as it sounded like nothing else I’d released. So I put it aside, tried to move on with my life, eventually forgot about it.

Seven months later, my mum was taken into biopsy for suspected stomach cancer. During that time I stumbled upon that forgotten album. I remember listening to it on repeat after all those months; it helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. 

Fortunately, my mum has recovered now, but this incident made me realise that this project can’t sit on my hard drive forever. In these trying times, I believe it's worth sharing this music with the world, hoping it can bring some positivity and comfort to those who listen.

So here it is, Stella Remota. What was for me a light guiding me out of the darkness. What would have been my 2nd album, now for you all to enjoy. 

Thanks for your support, as always. Lots of music coming in 2024.

PS: Bandcamp Friday is in two days. All the money generate from this release on the day will go towards Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)
