Dear friends of Four Heads; Infinite Pleasure return with their first various artist EP, and we know that you’re going to love it. 

We feature Rotterdam based, @taylanalan’s 'Emotion Scape', a tune has the warming capability to distance the everyday office worker and take them on a trip into pure unadulterated bliss. 

Revert back to your younger years, step into the book being read to you at the time. The sun is gleaming down in happy land as the bunny rabbits glide through luscious greenery, the birds sing and the rivers flow. Work isn’t a thing, no one works in Taylan’s Shangri-La, yet in reality you do work, quite a lot, and the unwelcome, intervening acid stabs at 1:45 are a grim reminder of that.

PREMIERE: Taylan Alan - Emotion Scape [Infinite Pleasure]

The time was half past midnight and the day from before had been wiped clean by the clicking noise of the clock. It hung abruptly upon the wall within the factory as the workers looked up from below with a dazed expression. They had been confined to the metallic blur of the industrial space for far too long and had forgotten what the greenery of the outside world and the jungle looked like. Grey was all to be seen within the blurry discourse of this space and time was relative.

Midnight Tenderness is set to release a brand new EP on the rising Australian label of the moment Ken Oath. The imprint is in fine form as they deliver another jazzy take on house music purpose built for the discerning dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Midnight Tenderness - Terme [Ken Oath]

Fred P’s fresh ‘Perpetual Sound’ imprint continues its journey with 'Lush Culture', a split EP that finds the label head alongside like-minded soul, Deetron. 

 

‘Liquidity’ opens the EP: a slowly-bubbling, elegantly shuffling house trip that pairs liquid, deep chords with irresistible percussion. ‘Lush Culture’ finds the New York-Berlin producer in his most sophisticated mode, channeling pure early-hours dance floor ambience via a rolling, charismatic beat amid a subtle but intoxicating build.

 

Handing the reins to Deetron for the flip, ‘Sweet Science’ sees the Swiss maestro punctures the weightless mood with a heavier, stepping bassline that blossoms into a blissful analogue state that rolls on and on, mastering sublime cosmic tension with each powerful breakdown. 

 

Fred P returns to conclude the release with ‘119 Black Key Experiment’, a sparkling, ambient sign-off that explores the retro-futurist influence at the beating heart of the label’s aesthetic.

Fred P - Lush Culture

What is the sound of the end? How does one acoustically convey that something is over? Computers have had a shutdown sound; movies play a melody while rolling credits and even the end of human life has a sound attached to it, courtesy of Chopin. Heatherbrae, an excellent track from Thomas Gray & Liam Ebbs feels like it's a sountrack to an end of some sort. Its deliberate and sparse pacing of someone who's no longer rushing, its "I-am-at-peace" synth chords as well as casual and relaxed drumming all seem to say: "It has been a lovely experience; I laughed and i cried, I've learned and I've grown but now it's over”.

After Francis Harris' third album 'Trivial Occupations' gained magnificent resonances during press and listeners - his “meandering, spine-tingling loveliness” (DJ Mag, USA) became an album of the year in several publications - here is the Remix-EP with two very special reworks.

While the left-field ambient waves of 'Trivial Occupations' still linger in the ears, Joaquin Joe Claussell and LNS tamper with the two bit more beat-driven 'Minor Forms' and 'St. Catherine And The Calm' for two new interpretations that totally break the chains.

New York based DJ, musician and producer Joaquin Joe Claussell, label-owner of both Spiritual Life Music and Sacred Rhythms Music is looking back on a list of countless works on Labels like Vega Records, Brownswood Recordings and Wonderwheel Recordings. Famous for his percussion-driven Afro-House tracks which are influenced by his Puerto Rican background, he also has a deep connection into New York’s local Jazz Scene. Claussell's Cosmic Arts Version of Minor Forms features the outstanding Jazz-pianist Bennett Paster with skillful and organic Piano lines. The track opens up with indistinct vocal chants and distant piano-tinkles alongside scattered drum hits. This moody, steady swelling beginning follows on the vibe of the original’s jazzy trumpets. As the bass, played by Claussell, hits at some point, the whole track turns into a fusion of  virtousic synth and piano melodies, underlined with excentrical drum rolls. A turn back into the lighter ambient-spheres finally ends the wildness.

"No different than how I approach producing remixes," says Claussell, "my goal first and foremost is to initiate a connection with the original composition. What this allows me to do is become intimate with the piece in a way that it almost becomes one of my own. Once the relationship is established, I then sketch out the ideas in my head - then on to the canvas - hence whatever format, whether that be DAW or Tape that I feel can most appropriately assist me in getting the job done. As it relates specifically to 'Minor Forms', I envisioned it becoming a journey that moves in 4-parts (Deep Wilderness, Morning Light, Jazzstosphere and back into the Wilderness). The ultimate goal was for the remix to become a story that continues moving through different atmospheric scenes and melodic emotions-all the while respecting the brilliance of the original story. An important part however, is that i need to feel the original composition before i entertain the idea of  agreeing to do remixes. And so, hats off to Francis Harris for creating an inspiring piece of music to begin with."

The lively breathing nature of 'St. Catherine And The Calm' is what Laura Sparrow aka. LNS is most fascinated about, so her approach for her remix was to “utilize Francis organic sounds and approach it both via hardware electronically, and using real instruments”, she says. Her Sister, Nadia Sparrow, who is a professional flutist played over the track, creating a goosebump-atmosphere, that is permeated by floating tape-delays of the originals’ piano and vibraphone. Calm and breakbeat-like drums provide the basis for this breathtaking harmonic adventure. LNS, originally keeping the spirit of Vancouver’s underground scene alive, is now at home in the Berlin’s equivalent. Not only her love for Detroit and UK-Techno during Djing, but also a great variety of musical influences mirror in her productions. On her recent releases on DJ Sotofett’s Label Wania and her self-released Recons One EP she shows off a interesting mix of short edged electro and leftfield electronica.

With almost thirty minutes playtime, Trivial Occupation Remixes leaves the impression of listening to an entire album that continues telling the story of the original.

Fede Lng returns to self-owned Axe On Wax with Flight Mode EP; a cloud drifting four cut EP containing two originals in which the man himself describes as "the most chilled stuff I've ever done". It's not gone without notice, with his two previous records now veering away from his hallmark dance-floor lead work and taking on a more considered melodic form. The two remaining tracks come from Ciel and Yu Su, who step up to remix duty this time round, showcasing two unsurprisingly beautiful re-imaginations of the original cuts.

Our cabin attendants are superbly designed, but there's only one problem: when they've served on so many long journeys, fatigue begins to set in. For example, they might want to laugh, but the smile would be slow to come. They might want to cry, but the tear wouldn't well up till the next day.
