Ariana Grande & The Weeknd - Love Me Harder (Linear Curb Remix)

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/pop_ambient_2023

A contemporary product of relentless capitalism has been a trend called slowness for several years now. In order to counteract the perceived fast pace of the times in which we live with a little deceleration, sustainability and relaxation, phenomena such as Slow Food, Slow Travel, Slow Fashion or even Slow Cruising, the tourist sailing of the world's oceans with somewhat smaller cruise ships "away from the mainstream", have been introduced into the world. 

That slowness is more than the opposite of speed, that elements, things, sounds that move as if in slow motion unfold a special power, precision, aesthetics and beauty, doesn’t need to be explained twice to ambient musicians. The 23rd edition of the Pop Ambient compilation, compiled as always by Wolfgang Voigt, is no exception, but instead provides the proof. Already with the first tracks of Leandro Fresco/Thore Pfeiffer, Gen Pop (Burger, Pfeiffer, Würden), Morgen Wurde feat. Tetsuroh Konishi and Max Würden up to Triola's gloomy and melancholic "Kupferblüte", the feeling of a slowness and calmness not experienced before, of an exceedingly lively standstill, creeps over us. A mental state that resembles dreams, in which we follow strange events as if paralyzed, yet awake and sensory. 

The Cologne-based Sono Kollektiv, an association of experimental artists Annie Bloch, Stefanie Grawe, Joel Jaffe, Alex Linster, Luis Weiß, Moritz Riesenbeck, Lukas Schäfer, Emily Wittbrodt and Max Würden, is represented for the first time with two contributions on Pop Ambient. The two works, the fragile "Bolzano Sessions IV" and the rather light-flooded "Bolzano Sessions V" (only available on CD and in the digital version) nestle perfectly into the musical whole of this year's compilation, not only in terms of their majestic leisureliness. 

In Jens-Uwe Beyer's "Nero", melancholic guitar chords reduced to the bare minimum are carried away by the wind like leaves, the reverberation holding the last note so long that it almost comes to a stop in the ear. If you like it synesthetic, look at the once again ravishing cover artwork by Veronika Unland right at this moment. Colors and shapes in which there is both everything and nothing to discover. Both feel equally right. 

The final third of Pop Ambient 2023 begins with Reich & Würden's herbaceous "Receiver," a track so dignified and carried by pads reminiscent of the sound of bagpipes that it would have perfectly punctuated her majesty the Queen's 8-hour funeral ceremony - a wonderful example, by the way, of the spiritual confluence of deceleration and precision that eventually turns into trance. 

The slowness is joined by togetherness at the end: Pop Ambient veteran Joachim Spieth cooperates with American sound artist zakè on his literally weightless "Air", Thore Pfeiffer co-produced the wonderful "Instinct" with Scottish brother duo Andy and Mike Truscott aka Kinbrae. California duo Patrick Hills and Morgan Fox aka Blank Gloss close out the vinyl version with the yearning "Down At The Heel," while that honor falls to debutant Ümit Han on the Pop Ambient CD. "Sieg über das Ungute" (victory over the unpleasant) in all its beauty brings us painfully back to reality.

Mar io Artist Info
Mar io has been exploring the realms of electronic music since the 1990s, finding himself mostly in techno and house landscapes, including excursions into downtempo and ambient. His special emphasis lays on groove and atmosphere, and Mar io's style is subject to constant evolution. Even after many years, his learning process does not stand still and the goal is to get better with each new track, EP or album. Usually he produces with Cubase in combination with hardware synthesizers and drum machines.

In 2018, Mar io also founded the Soundcloud channel "Akoasma Europe", which has since grown steadily and organically and has become a permanent fixture on Soundcloud; this is the basis for a steady and expanding collaboration with various labels and artists.

Loomis & Ink Ft. Kaybee - ‘Resolution’ 

 Resolution (Original Version)
 Resolution (Heritage Mix)
 Resolution (Nova Mix)
 Resolution (Outro)

———————————


Dropping on the highly esteemed Architecture Recordings Imprint, legendary Drum & Bass producer Ink teams up again with cinematic artist Loomis along side soulful, powerful vocalist Kaybee to deliver the nostalgic ‘Resolution’.

Consisting of 4 mixes to inhabit the different corners of drum and bass, the original is a rolling soulful feast; with cinematic piano melodies and organic strings, infused with sweeping vocals, stabbed bass and growls to take you to the deepest melancholy, yet inspirited realms.

With a nod back to the early drum and bass days that have shaped the scene today, the Heritage mix infuses big emotive pads, multiple bass layers and stunning vocals, laid over driven breaks; delivering a punch and skirting from dark to light, with exactly the right balance of emotion and drive.

One for the DnB purists, the Nova Mix ticks the boxes for those that inhabit the darker corners of the dance floor; distorted, menacing amen rolls, moody pads, stabs and reversed piano moments, all underpinned by a dangerously dark bass and punchy subs. 

To finish off the release, we’re treated with a beautiful, beat-less cinematic outro which highlights the more melodic ingredients; with lush layered strings and emphasised bass crescendos, the Outro is the cherry on the cake of this quintessential drum and bass release.

The release drops this Friday night (17th Feb 2023) @7pm (GMT) with an exclusive band camp digital release along side ultra limited 10” hand cut dub plates - containing the Original and Heritage Mix. Check out Architecture Recordings Bandcamp page for more info.

Across usual other audio outlets within the next few weeks.

Westend Ghetto - Labarb Mushreher [house 123bpm]

Moving firmly into its fourth decade, Tresor Records launches a new 12″ series, with a new generic sleeve design, intentionally available at affordable prices as an antidote to high vinyl costs.

In April 2023, Tresor Records will unveil a new EP from DALO entitled “GUM”. DALO, aka Nadia D’Alo, is one of the founders of the R.i.O label and half of the duo INIT. After several years of performing as INIT with Benedikt Frey, she had her solo live debut in Berlin in 2022. This record follows releases on labels such as ESP Institute and Warning. “GUM” showcases DALO’s expert mastery of rising tension through analogue sound sources, as it swings in and remains with minimal changes and accentuation.

The mix is accompanied by an interview with Brown Jr., who discusses collaborating with Detroit visual artist Abdul Qadim Haqq on his recent book, the influence that Drexciya have had on his work, and the best scenarios to enjoy their music in. Read the talk at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Carhartt WIP Radio April 2023: The Myth Of Drexciya

In the artist's own words:

"Couldn’t be happier to share with you my new album “Malana”, which is out today on @noisymeditation

It is my most adventurous project so far and I’m grateful it found a home on the mighty @noisymeditation label - props to @godfathersage for the trust, freedom and encouragement.

Consider it a concept album about a spiritual journey.
Much of the music is inspired by a number of life-changing travel experiences. Indeed, many of the field recordings used in the album were recorded during these travels.

Seeing Malana released is a deeply meaningful milestone for me and I hope you will appreciate the music in it."

Godfather Sage In The Mix

This Is My Ravetastic Jungle Set From Frequency 97.3 FM Richmond VA 4.22.2023

IT WAS DURING A DIMLY LIT SEANCE, held in the depths of a forgotten jazz club, that I found myself in the presence of her spirit. The air crackled with anticipation as we called upon the ghosts of the past, and in that moment, I felt a deep connection with the legendary blues singer.
    "Etta James, if you're out there, please join us," I beseeched, my voice quivering with reverence. The room fell into a hushed silence, and a soft whisper seemed to ride the coattails of a chilling breeze. The unmistakable essence of Ms. James permeated the air.
    Suddenly, a figure materialized before me, her shimmering form taking shape in the center of the room. It was Etta James herself, her eyes filled with a wisdom that only years of soulful living and heartache could bring. Her presence was both awe-inspiring and humbling.
    "Etta," I stammered, barely able to contain my excitement, "I've always dug your sound so much!"
    She regarded me with a hint of curiosity, a ghostly smile playing upon her spectral lips. "Well, ain't that somethin', darlin'. What brings you to summon me from the beyond?"
    With a mixture of nervousness and determination, I explained my musical vision. Trip hop, a genre born from the fusion of electronic beats and haunting melodies, had been echoing in my mind. I had always imagined Etta's timeless voice soaring above the atmospheric soundscape, infusing the music with her raw emotion and captivating presence.
    "I want to create a track that captures the essence of your voice, Etta," I said, my voice trembling with earnestness. "A collaboration that transcends time and genre."
    Etta studied me for a moment, her ethereal gaze piercing through the layers of my soul. I held my breath, awaiting her response. Then, a glimmer of appreciation danced in her eyes.
    "Well, honey, you've got yourself an intriguing proposition. I've sung my heart out on countless stages, but a trip hop track? Now that's something different," she said, her voice a velvety echo. "But why should I lend my voice to your music?"
    I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "Etta, your voice has a power that transcends generations. It carries the weight of experience, of heartache and triumph. Combining your soulful vocals with the ethereal beats of trip hop would create a sonic tapestry unlike anything the world has heard before."
     As she considered my words, her spectral form seeming to shimmer with newfound excitement. "You know, darlin', I've always been one to take risks. Maybe it's time I stepped into the unknown once more."
   A flicker of hope sparked within me as I realized she was open to the idea. 
    As the seance came to an end, and Etta prepared to return to the realm of the departed, she whispered, "Let the music be our bridge, connecting the worlds of the living and the dead. I'll see you in the notes, honey."
    And with those words, she faded away, leaving me with a sense of profound gratitude and a determination to bring our collaboration to life.

Music by and production: Belial Pelegrim
Vocals were sampled from Etta's "You're the Fool", track, from her 1970 album, 'Losers Weepers'.

Ad Astra Electronic Radio featuring Meaux on 10/21/23

II: composer I producer I human being :II

MARIE WILHELMINE ANDERS is a wanderer in music. Musically and instrumentally trained since her earliest childhood, she received her first technical training as a sound engineer at GDR television. She played keyboards in a punk band in the East Berlin underground music scene, created field recordings and sound installations, studied classical composition at the University Of The Arts Berlin, and graduated as a music teacher at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart. In Stuttgart she was an active part of the experimental improvisational scene playing piano as well as a set of electronics. There she founded two ensembles, "Unterton" and "Hammerhaus", both of which brought together groove and free-flowing improvised forms from different perspectives. Additionally, she initiated and directed “momentmusik"—a concert series for experimental and improvised music, visual arts, performance and spoken word, which established the connection between her ensembles and the national and international scenes. 

In 2005 she ended her concert activity and moved back to Berlin. Eager for new forms of expression, Marie learned to play the electric bass, and began producing her music using DAWs and publishing it under the pseudonym Marie Wilhelmine Anders.

Marie's conceptual thinking and her craft as a modern classical composer allow her to congenially translate non-musical concepts into a modern electronic language, influenced by techno, electronica, ambient music and drum & bass. Between 2018 and 2023 she released 6 albums, 2 EP’s, over 10 remixes and more than 20 mixes. As a producer, Marie likes to work alone and independently. She is also increasingly in demand as a remixer.

Her best friend writes: "Marie works her way out of all restrictions and experiments with styles and musical directions.Thereby she adapts formal means and creates something very much her own out of it. As always, I am impressed by her accuracy in everything she does. Marie is the secret Phoenix among my friends, who every time after it has turned to ashes, puts on a new and even more splendid plumage. I have great admiration for her consistency, uncompromising artistry, unconditional honesty, absolute fidelity and loyalty. One speaks of the Phoenix as an eternally youthful bird. And he can fly.”
