Matthias Zimmermann - Karyn

Time Zones is the dance music project of Dan Gentile and Jack Murphy. The two began making music together in 2014 while living in Austin, Texas. Their work is rooted in the appreciation of soulful house music and dollar bin disco singles.

The Vibe Shack EP wears its influences on its chipboard sleeve. Crackling litigation-worthy samples loop over an assembly of live (read: non-quantized) tracked instruments, including a Korg PolySix, Roland JX-3P, modular synthesizer, and a broken x0xb0x, giving each track that lively, human touch. Also included is a punchy Unknown FM remix of the title track. The tunes have been mastered hot by Benoit D at Perception Mastering for maximum dance floor impact.

Thoughtful and understated, the Vibe Shack EP combines witty sample-work, live instrumentation, and analog synthesis to create 4 sonic collages. By marrying 70’s soul and disco samples with more subtle classic house themes, live bass and keys, Time Zones’ take on a familiar palette manifests as fresh, inventive, and playful.

Boh oh boy! 2020's been a weird one. From natural disasters to a global pandemic and race riots, this year has already seen it's fair share. Amidst all this chaos, labels plough on, dedicated to releasing great tunes, no matter what the circumstances.

Sydney based dance unit Of Leisure are one of these we speak of. Flying the flag, these guys are proud to announce the second instalment of their club compilation series Blue Line Steppers. A bundle of music to move your limbs too, made just by humans from Australia and New Zealand. A host of those who feature are artists who probably aren't on your radar yet should be. Names like Chetch, Freda and Penelope Two-Five all offer up really swish cuts.

Our focus is on the A2 from Ginoli, 'Highest Point'. Ginoli's yet another name that might not ring any bells but maybe the psych-rock band POND will...?

Having drummed with Western Australian based POND (who share band members with Tame Impala) for many years, Ginoli's stepped out to flex his club muscles. Greeted by synths that remind us of taking off from the tarmac plus a delicious kick, we're quickly on our way to the sky. Perky KORG sections and rolling drum combinations then knock down the doors and we've got ourselves something really lovely! It's almost like the tune will stop abruptly and we'll hear the captain's voice over the intercom, laying down a spiel on the weather and current cruising altitude

There's an air of pure joy on this one, no judgement. Flail around however you see fit. For our mind, 'Highest Point' isn't polarising, it'll be loved by dance fans far and wide. So, grab yourselves a grin from ear-to-ear and visualise lifting off, destined for a foreign land with Ginoli as your mighty conductor!

PREMIERE: Ginoli - Highest Point

Flumo and ANMA Records join forces once again - this time for a collaborative project between UK based Contours and Yadava. Cosmic Echoes was built over numerous jam sessions fusing live percussion, bass, drum machine, synthesizers and field recordings to create a raw EP full of soul and warmth.

‘Start First Finish Last’ opens up with smooth keys and alluring bass solo. The drum and percussion interplay keeps the up beat rhythm flowing, allowing for the bass to enhance on a Balearic and laid-back dance groove. ‘
‘Udu' takes the vibe on a more beat-driven road, with interlocking Kit and Udu patterns, floating keys and rolling synth arpeggios cutting in and out of the groove. ‘Speaking Through Broken Shells’, gets back on the bass and drum heavy interaction, with lots of influences from UK jazz scene.
 
The B-side starts off with a more familiar house groove. ‘Low Slung’, is a nod to the eyes down moments on the dance floor, with raw hats and shakers swirling around synth swells and heavy synth bass for introspective bliss.
‘Cascades’ swaps over to an atmospheric soundscapes, with plenty of stereo play and rich sound quality, making it easy to get lost in a jungle of flutes, keys and rain-line percussion notes.
 
NIAN’s remix of Cascades, takes the atmosphere up a beat and subs the rolling bass with broken beat rhythm, while Skygaze remix, of the same track, adds liquidity and reshapes the atmospheric sound into a more dance floor orienting mix.

PREMIERE: Yadava & Contours - Cascades (NIAN Remix)[Flumo x ANMA Records London]

We are living in hard and troubled times, but in these moments we're not to give up, but rather to seek as many handholds as possible in a world that seems to be falling apart.
Caring for music (which is a bit like taking care of fragile people) is certainly something that makes us feel healthy, that gives us the push that allows us to breathe, to look ahead towards a bright future.

Flexi Cuts is glad to introduce "New Breath Anthology", a collection of original tracks that focus not only on quality (as usual) but remind us that music doesn't have to stop; the vibration can and must continue.
This is the new breath that we need.


DJ Rou - If You Wanna Get Dry? https://soundcloud.com/djrouhomequest
Our friend DJ Rou returns on Flexi with an excellent track from his studio in Bologna town; the evocative title " If You Wanna Get Dry?" is a development of rhythm, groove and vocal talks typical of this "breed horse".

PREMIERE: DJ Rou - If U Wanna Get Dry [FLEXI CUTS]

So, here we are. An insanely annoying and devastating year goes to an end and I can’t say I’m mad about it. It brought loss, tragedy, and tremendous hardship to many of our doorsteps and my heart goes out to all of you who got hit the hardest. But after all, I can’t help but see the positive side of things and say “thank you!” to all of you who made me keep my sanity in all those months of social distancing and solitude by being amazing artists, DJ’s, musicians, or just a part of this community. May 2021 be a better, brighter, and more social year for all of us!

Please support the mentioned artist on bandcamp.com or any other platform of your choice!

Have a happy New Year!
