[mulemusiq275] Simone de Kunovich - (Return to) Mondo Nuovo

Release Date - 21st January 2022

“Mondo Nuovo” is a trilogy concept by Venetian born artist Simone de Kunovich. 

It is the story of an exploration into an imaginary remote area of our planet, an exotic place where Nature is still uncontaminated, answering only to its own logic. 

Following the first chapter on Superconscious Records, Simone de Kunovich takes us on a journey amongst peaceful native tribes (“Cerchio Magico”), obscure esoteric rituals (“Serpiente Cosmica”), psychedelic delusions (“Paradiso delle Sabbie Mobili”) and breathtaking discoveries (“As I Was Moving Ahead..”) 

Once again the project has been inspired by his Cinema studies, which were focused mainly on 70s World movies by the likes of Herzog and Jodorowski - “Mondo Nuovo” is an intricate and rich opera of sampling and layering, capable of connecting bits from obscure Italian libraries, vocal shots by the G-Man of “Half Life” and monologues from Louis Malle’s 1981 cult movie “My Dinner With Andre”.

A2 - Serpiente Cosmica

The Barcelona-based duo Iro Aka are about to self-release their six track compilation, Ametrine Horizon.

The release ranges from acid-infused downtempo on Indigo, to ambient breakbeat on Blooms In, to psychedelic dance-floor euphoria on Oort Speis. Today, we’re happy to bring you 7 minutes and a half of melody and rhythm on Fukushia, the release’s closer.

The track starts out with a thumping kick, steady percussion and a floating pad, sustained throughout the track with the exception of a few mini-breaks as well as an extended breakdown at the halfway mark. The bleep inspired melody keeps our attention for the duration of the track, before it disintegrates and nothing but the synth pad remains until the track comes to a halt. Fukushia, part of the Ametrine Horizon compilation, comes out on February 11th, 2022. The track as well as the full release are now available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

PREMIERE: Iro Aka - Fukushia [Iro Aka]

Today we’re happy to premiere Tart Jam from New York based DJ and producer, Aspetuck, who’s no stranger to Delayed. Whether it be through his most recent album released on Oslated, all original mixes, ambient sets, or one of his recent self released bandcamp EPs, Griff aka Aspetuck is never far from our minds or speakers here in Brooklyn.

Like a musical kaleidoscope, turning and twisting, snapping melodies in and out of focus, Tart Jam seems to evolve and bring the listener on an acidic journey. Each minute ending with different moments than the prior, but all made cohesive by an underslung bass line giving that all important groove.

Tart Jam and the rest of the Mind Wandering EP will be out on December 15th, under Marco Malpeso’s Wex Records imprint and their Telomere Plastic sub-label.

PREMIERE: Aspetuck - Tart Jam [Telomere Plastic]

Happy to present to you: the debut release of interdisciplinary, Korean artist Minju Oh. Studying at the HfG in Offenbach Minju’s approach to making music is always one that is strongly influenced by a second visual layer. The artist herself describes the 6 tracks on this tape as: “a lighthouse to the universe”. Cosmic disco, rough Chicago house, breaks and atmospheric, computer game influenced sounds can all be found within. Enjoy ***.

[PP079] EDEN BURNS & CHRISTOPHER TUBBS "Tubbs & Burns Vol. II“ (snippets)

Cham Dance is a timeless slice of back-to-the-future house music by the São Paulo-based duo Kurc and Chausi. Merging 80’s nostalgia and 90’s rave influences, the EP evokes the past in spirit, when rules weren’t yet written and our romance with transcendental machine sounds was in its early days. You can find freedom within the tracks and unity around the album. Vigorous beats and ethereal pads that bring about the first light of bliss to a packed summer dancefloor. This is a record you sit and listen as a whole, something that in our current time is rare. A journey into sound.

Premiere: Opal Sunn - Minority State [Touch From A Distance]

Espècie Invasora

Massimiliano Pagliara was born in Tricase (Lecce) in the deep south of Italy. Already as a child he listened to diverse types of music: rap, classical, reggae, dub and 60s rock'n'roll. Coming from this small village, he and his friends created a small musical world for themselves, spending a lot of time every day playing records in his basement and at private parties.
Upon moving to Milan in 1997, Massi embarked on an academic career and eventually earned his diploma in theatre, dance and choreography at the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in 2001. While discovering the fashionable and alternative club scene of the city, his imagination was captured by experimental electronic music such as Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Autechre and Mira Calix. Naturally these avant-garde sounds eventually found their way into Massi's original body of work.
After finishing school he ventured to Europes underground capital Berlin, where he continued his studies in contemporary dance, but also dived into the city's explosive techno nightlife, particularly the renowned OstGut club. Massi's interest in electronic music found its peak in 2003 when he finally began to pursue DJing with a passion. Ever since he's been spinning records across the world as well as some of the most popular underground venues in Germany – among them Tape Club, SchwuZ, Tresor, ://about blank, Robert Johnson, and of course Berghain / Panorama Bar, where he holds a residency.
Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to productio. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he's holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. 2011 saw the release of his debut album Focus For Infinity (on Live At Robert Johnson), followed by his sophomore LP With One Another in 2014. February 2017 saw his debut release on Ostgut Ton with the EP Time And Again. Since then, Massi has worked on various EPs, remixes, single track, all culminating in the late 2018 release of his third full-length solo album, titled Feel Live. February 2020 saw his debut on Munich's label Permanent Vacation with his new EP Nothing Stays In One Place For Long, in 2021 he's added the third part of his Uncanny Valley label trilogy with the EP Connection Lost Pt. 3. His latest album See You In Paradise releases in October 2022, once again with Permanent Vacation.
But he’s not always alone: Massi has been collaborating with luminaries around town such as gui.tar, Snax, Daniel Wang, Lemercier & The Lala By, Discodromo as well international artists. This lead to several side projects over the last decade, such as [sic!] with the two members of gui.tar, The Rimshooters with the Brazilian DJ and producer Rotciv, Egyptian Nipples with the multi-instrumentalist Jules Etienne, Banana Moon with Luigi Di Venere, Couple Looking with Chris Cruse to name just a few.
There's an ongoing lust for dialogue when it comes to Massimiliano Pagliara – be it through his collaborations and solo productions, during his DJ sets, with his own music label Funnuvojere Records or on a personal level. The world of dance, movement and communication is deeply rooted in Massi's life – when you know how to move yourself, you easily know how to move others.
