Can you hear the stellar system of my bloodstream!

From Deep Sound Learning (1993 - 2000).

Jimi Tenor can look back on a career spanning almost 30 years, in which time he has released more than 20 albums on such renowned labels as Warp Records, Sähkö and Kitty-Yo. Pop artist prestige holds no sway over the Finnish composer and multi-instrumentalist. Never resting on his laurels, he continues to hone his unique sound, which draws on elements of jazz, Afrobeats and experimental electronic music.

Bureau B are excited to announce the arrival of a new Jimi Tenor double album!

Release: April 9th, 2021

Jimi Tenor - Doin' Alright

FKR113
Miquela E Lei Chapacans
Miquela e Lei Chapacans

Released 14th October 2022

The first progressive girl group of the French Occitan language pop scene bring you folk funk, sun-baked bossa, Coltrane jazz and their own brand of punky “Dizco rural” against an untouched French Balearic backdrop spanning the late 70s and 80s.

If even the most assiduous of European record collectors consider the Occitan language music scene to be France’s best-kept secret then it’s as fair to say that the incredible multifaceted recordings of langue d’oc prog girl group Lei Chapacans has spent the last four decades hiding in plain sight. In all fairness this overlooked treasure chest of minority language excursions into folk funk, Balearic, bossa, John Coltrane penned jazz, baroque psych, Palestinian poetry, comedic synth skits (and even the rawest form of femme-fronted multiingual punky disco) has been stowed away in inconspicuous photographic record sleeves, falsely evoking something closer to contemporary C&W while oft-misplaced in record shop cassette racks alongside “traditional” spoken-word and scholastic albums. So for the uninitiated, don’t be too hard on yourself.  The fun starts here.  For those who are familiar with the rare and sought-after one-off solo album by Occitan singer Miquela and have craved for more, then you’ve come to exactly the right place. Lei Chapacans (a name that roughly translates to The Vagabonds) is the all-girl vocal group assembled by Miquela herself just two years after her debut release, having toured the word and snubbed major label record deal offers with a steadfast allegiance to the protection of the Occitan language in which this album is primarily penned and performed (minus a small amount of German and sarcastic English in one rebellious instance). For European collectors with a penchant for French savoir faire, but have further yearnings for folkloric femme funk, then it’s time to look towards the Occitan sunset where you will meet Lolo, Miquela, Sophie, Irena and Denise.

These amazing, and undeniably culturally important recordings might have taken some time to find a wider audience, but for music lovers, crate diggers and vinyl vultures alike there are still a lot of tasty morsels out there to be scavenged and devoured, ask any self-respecting Chapacan and they’ll concur wholeheartedly.

Miquela e Lei Chapacans

Dizco Rural

Miquela e Lei Chapacans - Dizco Rural

Under a dark indigo sky, cloud-like nebulae stretch across the heavens as stars pulse softly at the edges. A gentle tide of strings—long and sharp bows, warm harmonies, whispering tremolos—lift you weightless through the hush of space. Close your eyes, and allow unheard notes to drift through your mind, and settle into calm.

Journey's End

I began this piece around 3 years ago, when I had hit rock bottom mentally and emotionally.  I had only created the intro portion and had forgotten about it, only to resurrect and finish it this year. This is part of a series of deeper, more moody, but uplifting pieces that I plan to release as an EP.  I hope you enjoy the journey, and stay tuned for more!

And as always...
~Thank you for listening~

We can't say enough how much we love this New Waveish synth pop tune. Basso find!

"Intersection With Loneliness" - Ungoogleable Private Press LP - Germany, 1984

"On this 6-track album, the musical world of Golden Ivy comes full circle as he introduces these seemingly different elements to each other. On one hand, there is the cold precision of programmed rhythms pulsing through the base layers: echoes of the urban industrial cityscape in which it functions. On the other hand, the sliding howls across the strings of the violin reaches much further out into the wilderness. And still - melded together - they manage to convey a feeling of “home”.

Taking inspiration from the fourth world concept of Jon Hassel, Ivar finds a delicate path where influences of folk music from various cultures can be captured and contained within a modern frame of mind. The violin and flute are present throughout the album like a red thread. Perhaps they are the perfect instruments to capture the melancholy, isolation and beauty of being alone with nature, and of being home in oneself.

But there’s also Ivars jovial sense of humour that peers through, for instance on the pirate fantasy of “Long John Silver” or the jittery bounce of “Game Vän”. Oddball touches of lefthanded debauchery pass by here and there, but the focus remains on simplicity and repetition. The compositions are focused and tightly harnessed to the rhythms which carry them. "

'Dead Guitars' is taken from Seefeel's self titled album, their first for 14 years.
The album is releasing Jan31/Feb 1, and coincides with a special headline show at London’s King’s Place on the same day.
The band have also just announced a run of UK and European dates in March.
"(Seefeel) underpin their dream-glossed, loop-heavy soundscapes and tunes with a heavy powerhouse of a rhythm section. The show was punishingly loud; played with a professional politeness that skirted-over any ‘it’s great to be back’-bullshit.” - Loud + Quiet, live review

Seefeel - Dead Guitars (taken from the album 'Seefeel')

The soundscape 'state of sympoiesis' was composed by Mona Sachße and Sophia Lökenhoff.
Field recordings, natural breath, voices, live singing, and conceptual composing were essential to this collaboration. In the process, we discussed notions of an utopian sympoiesis and how a holistic being could feel, look and be like, some keywords: softness, slowness
togetherness, trust, and commitment, emotional breathing: 
connecting to the source within
rising and building up, getting alive
radiation

op. {{*}} 001 is a pilot performance piece by Sophia Lökenhoff. 
It marks the first edition of an ongoing project, a multimedia performance series that deals with 5 – 7 generations/transitions of a fabulated figure called IAGA.
