Petr Ullmann, the only member of the DWP (Down And Up) project, is a classically trained musician, composer and producer from Prague, Czech Republic.

Despite his strong background and roots in the local synth-pop and EBM scene of the 90's, he is coming with his solo debut "Spirography", a 4-track EP only now, in 2022. After a 10-year break from making any music.

Now more subtle and soundscape-oriented, but still on dancey side, also influenced by Drum & Bass, Trip Hop or IDM. By collecting and using a diverse range of natural samples, he creates his moody melodies, always playing with a various atmospheres.
 
A pile of trippy and bassy synths, happy highs, deepy lows with bright lights, hidden and late rooms, all ending in one big madness.
"Life is hard and full of polygons which someone has to pilot."
This is "Spirography" by DWP.

DWP "Spirography" (MAI 8)

The formation of the band was just a side effect. Bratislava, Slovakia, based Nekosené Lúky started as a trio of old friends who wanted to try to produce some bluesy noise, and since then it has continued in everything they find interesting. Loud guitar, lyrics in the native Slovak language and rhythmic support of two former drum'n'bass DJs, each in his own profession, but with live instruments.

"Víno Staré" is their debut release for Mai Lei Bel and offers a collection of six songs inspired by blues/stoner rock and indie pop, which together bring a juicy portion of - as they say - happy blues and stoner pop.

Nekosené Lúky "Víno Staré" (MAI 9)

“I often find myself betrayed by my memories. I feel as if they warp my view of past events to a point where I am left with mere illusions.”

Dreamy ambient electronica with elements of shoegaze and post-rock. Lush lo-fi ambiances with dusty glitched beats sometimes penetrated by noisy distortions and drony walls of guitar-like synths. Each track represents a certain phenomenon associated with memory and the passing of time. A critical reflection on the effects of memory-driven decision-making.

“Our views and ideas are often subconsciously based on our memories, not realizing how warped, distorted and incomplete those may be. I find it terrifying how rosy retrospection, nostalgia and saudade deform our emotions towards people, places or events and since there is no way to relive the past and fill in the circumstances and important details we missed or simply forgot, we must yield and live blindly by the few partial experiences that we remember”, Adam Mészáros a.k.a Absorver says.

Fatum

Disordered Kind "Fatum" (MAI 1)

What started as a one-off jam session has ended up as a complex concept and a project.
Marek of Perial, Daniel of Disordered Kind and Michal put their own projects from the time to one side and dedicated themselves to the creation of their own universe under the name Anacle.

Although operating from different countries, their long-time friendship and mental/sub-conscious connection gave the Anacle project a special identity: hybrid production, based on highly improvised performance, dark, hypnotic, mystical techno for special fanatics, weird parties or eternally dreaming home listeners.

Their debut album “The Pornacle Prophecy” leads you to a galaxy where Past Lives align with future lives; where glittering Unicorn drinks coffee with Belladonna and her Butterflies. Where Dinozord tells Lullabies to Randy, so he isn't afraid of singing Orpheus. Where no one asks you any questions and nor do they expect any answers. Just open your mind to it.

Out September 27, 2019 on coloured double 12" vinyl (green transparent & pink transparent), CD & digital.

The Pornacle Prophecy

Anacle "The Pornacle Prophecy" (LEI 3)

When, at the start of 2002, he announced his definitive departure from Zóna A, the whole of the rock underground community in both the Czech and Slovak republics were in shock. He laid the foundations of the group 22 years previously to this split and with his trademark compositions and unique guitar style he enabled them to become legends on the Czechoslovak punk scene. Only a few people understood why he left. Maybe only he himself...

But that is typical of him, classic Leďo (who would know him by his real name – Jaro Lederleitner?) The sort of person who never compromises on his ideals and principles – even though his own actions are incomprehensible to others and often quite painful for him in the final analysis.

In the disappointment yet also the final relief of this break-up, Princovia (The Princes) were formed in 2002. The project on which he embarked with huge enthusiasm, new passion, ideas and verve under the new alias of the Prinz von Sternberk, had serious problems almost from the very beginning. Numerous changes to the group's line-up, false dawns and premature endings took their toll on the productivity and output of the group. The single official album "Čo Takto Otvoriť Hubu?!" ("What About Opening Your Gob?!") came out in 2005 and apart from this, as a result of the precarious existence of the group, there were just one or two unofficial recordings....

After a long period of searching for and trying to get the right chemistry among the group members, Tomáš Faktor, a.k.a Faky, became a loyal partner to Leďo over the last seven years. As a result of their combined efforts (together with the help of a few guests and two different drummers), they present their album "Márna Snaha" ("Doomed Attempt"), the first official release of Princovia in 15 years.
Colourful, partly bitter-sweet pop, sometimes rock but still punk in its feel.
Simple Power Pop, - so very typical of Leďo's post-Zóna A work.
The bold declaration of a matured musician who knows exactly what he wants to play, how he wants to play and what he wants to say.

However, at the same time as Princovia announce the release of their new album, we must share some news from the complete opposite end of the emotional spectrum, namely, that this album – from this perspective with the apposite name of "Márna Snaha" ("Doomed Attempt"), is unfortunately also the last which Princovia will be making....

Márna Snaha

Princovia "Márna Snaha" (LEI 5)

Originally comes from Košice, Slovakia, but after he first visited the iconic Rotterdam techno club Perron in 2014, he decided to move to the Netherlands.
Now operates from Rotterdam, but travels as much as he can to Bratislava, Slovakia, where he collaborates with fellow DJs from Slovakia and Austria in various collectives such as KOHM, aMT or Anacle – experimental, synthetics created adventures with the sound of a modular system, live recording and rough edits, filled by drum lines.

Analog or Digital – he has no longer any preference.
Hypnotic repetitions are essential substances for Michal’s production as well as performance. His inspiration comes from different kind of music therapy techniques. However, always within the framework of a techno subgenre. Live improvisation and adaptation during performances on stage is a key element in all projects where Michal participates, as he believes it makes the creation more organic.

After releasing an ambitious album with a three piece project Anacle “The Pornacle Prophecy” last year on Mai Lei Bel, Michal is delivering his debut solo 6-tracks EP “Moonshaft” which takes you to the adventurous trip where techno and electronica meets experimental with IDM. Despite the prevailing feeling from his darker techno background, the whole EP sounds pretty subtle and shows what a diverse production Michal is capable of.

Moonshaft

Michal Basar "Moonshaft" (MAI 3)

Ática are Carlos and Guille, the union of two nerds from La Zubia, Granada, Spain.
Both of them grew up playing music in some local bands and orbiting genres from progressive-rock to post-hardcore.
At the beginning of 2019, with the intention of being freed by the complex functioning of “leading-guitar” bands, they joined forces to form a project using just bass and drums. From the beginning they have tried to mold their sound obeying the voice of their guts and anxieties and the result is a cavernous, dirty and infectious sound.
Their self-released digi only EP “Ática“ from January 2020 was loud enough to attract Mai Lei Bel interest in the band...

Explosive, dirty, noisy, sometimes maybe even brutal.
All of these words could be used to describe their brand new recordings and debut for Mai Lei Bel. Listening to the 8-tracks (!!) EP will overwhelm you with such a huge influx of energy that you will have trouble recognizing whether or not you happen to be right at the live gig.

Punk/garage/noise/post-punk/alternative/post-hardcore/grunge/indie rock played and recorded as loud and honestly as possible.
This is “1” by Ática.
Just bass, drums and voice.
And a lot of power, distortion and noise.

Hivemind

Odd Ashes "Hivemind" (MAI 5)

“Throughout years of learning and experimenting with various approaches to music-making I developed a strong passion for sound synthesis and design, the practice of which enables me to get lost in my own soundscapes, textures and atmospheres,” Adam Mészáros says - composer & producer from Bratislava, Slovakia, the only person behind the Absorver project.

After releasing two digi only EPs - self-released “Attribution” and Kaiseki Digital release “Obstinate Light”, he joined Mai Lei Bel in the spring of 2020.

His debut for the label, 7-tracks EP “Absorvations”, is showing Adam’s melancholic nature in combination with ethereal downtempo electronica at its best.

Thematically the EP attempts to portray an inevitable cycle of feelings. From a cold harsh unknown (Raureif), from where you wish to return, followed by a journey through glances of hope and relief as you approach familiar territory (Thaw) into a brief moment of comfort (Soils), which is soon replaced by everyday annoyances and uncertainties before finally regressing once again as all which made you leave or yearn for a change in the first place reemerges in unbearable cacophony and you want all of it to just freeze ... until you need it again (Tumult).

Musically the overall atmosphere of each segment is conjured by distorted, glitchy instrumentation, minimal repetitive melodies, beats and samples with tape-like lo-fi processing. Synths, saxophones, warped guitars, unintelligible vocal samples, ambient textures, experimental randomizations.

Absorvations

Absorver "Absorvations" (MAI 6)

Tommie Robin Wiese (1988 – 2020) was a composer and a producer from Rotterdam, Netherlands. He was a great guy, a nice man, a perfect friend.
From an early age, Tommie was engaged with spirituality, art and music. Throughout his life, he sought to deepen his knowledge and awareness. His music is a manifestation of his daily research of the musical, spiritual and human plane.

He was able to find beauty and meaning in any kind of music genre. Collaborating with different people on different projects, he touched upon various styles and genres such as rock/pop – playing a bass guitar in a rock band – as well as he was an avid listener of hip hop, house, techno, experimental electronic and ambient music.
In his own music, he found it difficult to choose one style to express himself through. Constantly thirsty for more and in search of perfection, he was looking for a way to consolidate his knowledge of life, music and spirituality into his music pieces.

Tommie had a passion for modular synthesizers which he loved to collect and experiment with and was continuously busy studying a topic or improving his skills on new instruments and gear. He’d be creating music all night till early morning which didn’t always make it easy for him to finish a track to his own satisfaction.
However, with his most recent productions, he started to get more in touch with himself and with what he wanted to express. He found that the depth and healing properties of music, especially hypnotic electronic music, deeply resonated with his soul.

As a person, Tommie was an excellent listener and could discuss any topic you could think of with an open mind, an ability that reflected on his approach to music too. One of his biggest artistic inspirations was the visual artist Alex Grey. What Grey did with painting, Tommie was trying to do in his life and music, showing us there is more than one layer in everything.

Sadly, Tommie left us very early and very unexpectedly in March 2020…

Thanks to his family and close friends, Mai Lei Bel is able to deliver Tommie’s posthumous EP titled “33” releasing under the moniker TRW (Tommie Robin Wiese).
A six tracks collection of melancholic IDM & electronica in combination with atmospheric techno & experimental.
