For Jesse Somfay music has always been about communicating and sharing immense feelings which he finds impossible to convey in any other way. His Borealis alias was born as a twinned satellite to his work under his birth name. Much like conjoined twins, the two share the same heart and breathe with the same lungs, and even though they speak of similar things, they do it from two different vantage points. According to Jesse, it is better for something to be felt in whole than to be defined and reflected upon in approximation, and this album - his sixth to date and second under the Borealis handle - is a truly wholesome, boundless, gorgeous emotional experience on both the end of its creator and its listener. 

Glittervoice is Somfay's most energetically intense work to date. It is both euphoric and dysphoric and the music itself cannot be pigeonholed into any particular genre - hints of techno, oldschool trance or rave complement each other just to ultimately get lost in an artfully crafted trademark sound. It’s easy to allow this multifaceted, hyperlayered, continuously shapeshifting aural multiverse to deprive you of any form of reason, activate all senses and carry you where no music has before, regardless of where you listen to it. Glittervoice’s 16 tracks encompass everything from visceral warehouse techno to stylish ambient compositions via rapid hypnotic drum loops and trance synths of cosmic proportions, all filtered through his unique etherial aesthetic. 

Having something equally introspective and weighty yet exceptionally club-friendly is a rare feat that could soundtrack any modern techno mecca - be it a big dark room or an open air festival. 
The emergence of Borealis meant an unexpected turn for Somfay, but at the end of the day, much like its worthy genre-defying predecessor, Glittervoice is yet another album not of this reality - a sonic guide to entering “the flow”.

Borealis - Streamsnare

Ransom Note Records present new signing Natasha Bai, with her debut EP ‘Transsib’; an oneiric voyage through the world of the Russian DJ, musician, producer and vocalist.

“Transsib, short for ‘Trans-Siberian Railway’ is the 9000 km of railroad that connects Moscow with Vladivostok on the Russian Far East. The building of the Transsib Railway helped the founding of my hometown many years ago; Novosibirsk. It’s 50 hours by train from Novosibirsk to Moscow and during this time little life happens” - Natasha Bai

Promoter of the legendary Siberian group «Сто Своих» in the early 2010’s, Natasha Bai now lives in Moscow and plays at the likes of Simachev Bar and tours Russia with «ДК Детка» (‘de-ka-detka’). She is also an NTS, Kiosk Radio, Test FM and Gop Tun regular guest and has released two EPs under her ambient-pop alter ego; Altai Princess. Her debut EP on Ransom Note Records features four track blending genres and imaginary worlds.

Opening track ‘Romantiko’ welcomes skitty beats alongside poppy vocal snippets summoning electro kicks; engaging sonic distortion and synth melodies. “It’s like a bright sunny morning when you wake up happy”.

Title track ‘Transsib’ is a stand-out on the EP for its proggy-trance inflection and ethereal synth keys, mimicking “the sounds of a moving train.” A genre-bending frenzy and a rapturing refrain recall the sound of inertia.

‘Your Kiss’ is inspired by “unhappy love, which happens especially when you’re young.” Expect acid euphoria and eagerness for love and lust, where Natashas’s vocals address the subject of romantic distress.

Closing track ‘Just Say’ is “a little intervention” from her alias Altai Princess, whose music focuses on the outer reaches of ambient-pop. The track notches the tempo down in Altai territory, with the kicks atop the longing lyrics “just say there is only me”.

Transsib EP is a symbol of growth, of “moving through life and moving towards your dreams. From my hometown to the city of my dreams, from my first steps in music to my first EP, from childhood through youth to adulthood. It’s a never-ending journey.

PREMIERE : Natasha Bai - Your Kiss

Sometimes I turn up to a gig for my 6am slot, and the room is pitch black, deafening, and sweat is dripping off the roof, and I think, hmm, what should I play?

A lot of my solo tracks aren't quite right for this sort of atmosphere, so I've been working on a new project designed more for dark sweaty holes in which we like to spend our weekends.

It's a collaboration with someone I have been working with for many years, who is releasing under the new name - Satirist. The first vinyl + digital release coming next week on Berlin's Killekill label. No pretty melodies this time. The name I will be releasing this work under is - SKEW (because it's a bit off).

You can hear the rest of the EP here:

You can find the new Satirist facebook page here:

I won't be making any new pages for my Skew project, as I think there are already enough facebook artist pages out there in the world.

Taken from "Dan ChiCharron - Mordicus EP (Skalbiankė)". Out November 21st 2023. Buy here : https://skalbianke.bandcamp.com/album/mordicus

Meet Dan ChiCharron, a new family member of Skalbiankė. This time, we lean towards more intensity with his new EP Mordicus. Dimmed vibes, strong basslines and sharp grooves confidently lead throughout the whole release. Persistency is the key and Dan knows that. The artwork features a classic car resting in a pool, a visual metaphor for Dan’s journey - where the familiar meets the surreal.
Release the handbrake and dive into weird landscapes. Dan will show you the way.

Out Now on Digital & 12" Vinyl: TurboRec.lnk.to/crazydream
Release date: June 16, 2017

When Steve Lawler first sent us “Crazy Dream,” he told us that he had made the record “specifically with Turbo in mind,” thus sending us on a quasi-lucid journey down a rabbit hole of self-discovery from which we have only recently emerged.

Most labels would simply talk up a nuts-to-the-wall floor-filler with a killer “White Horse” bassline from an acid house legend and be done with it, but the fact remains that if we forgo an opportunity to learn more about ourselves as dance music imprint, we are doing our fans a disservice whether they could possibly be expected to realize it or not.

We hired a board-licensed Forensic Poet to parse the track’s lyrical references to nothing being “quite as it seems,” “feeling naked and confused,” and rising above “the push and shove.” What was he trying to tell us? The poet assured us that all it meant was that Lawler admires Turbo and thought the track would be a good fit, and that we should put our clothes back on, wipe the confused looks from our faces, and stop pushing and shoving one another because everything was exactly as it seemed. We paid him his $25 and did as we were told.

For the remixes, we took a track made especially for us and enlisted a diverse cast of Turbo All-Stars to spin it into a release for everyone, a proprietary practice we call "Human Alchemy: The Future of Generosity™.” Finland’s Jori Hulkkonen, Belgium’s Charlotte de Witte, and Argentina’s DJs Pareja trace a beautiful global triangle for lovers of acid bangers, stripped-down techno, and tripped-out weirdness, respectively. At Turbo, giving party people what they need is more than just a crazy dream. It’s a crazy reality.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
