Switzerland’s Mina Records turns to the new partnership of Our Loving Sun for its 12th release, and serves it up with a standout remix from countryman Ripperton. Our Loving Sun is a new band project that sees Swede Anders Ilar and American Chris Yard team up to create a melange of ambient, dub techno, acid, pop and synth wave music with plenty of orchestral additions and guest appearances. 

Opening track ‘To Disappear’ is a swelling electronic composition filled with subtle bass guitar riffs, soaring vocals and clouds of melody that all blissful blend into one another. Like Trentemoller but at his most warm and romantic, this is rich and ethereal music. 
The same track gets remixed by Tamed boss Ripperton off the back of his own latest full length. The result is a typically long – 8 minutes –track that is epic in ambition. It takes a while to unfold from just a kick drum, but by the time it’s in full flow is a dramatic
concoction of frosty percussion, chilly icicle like melodies and a frazzled bassline that would fit perfectly into one of Ame’s most cultured sets.

‘Come Apart’ is more rooted to a steady and propulsive kick drum but again the soundscape above is awash with various guitar lines and celestial synths that light up the track from behind with a heavenly glow. There are shades of everything from Joy Division to Depeche Mode, Kraut rock to New Wave bottled up within, and it makes for absorbing listening. 

Finally, ‘One Source’ slows to a deep dub wise swagger. The vocals are haunting and ghostly – so too the lone guitar strings that get plucked – and the whole thing sounds like a huge underwater chamber with gentle currents churning and piercing beams of light shooting down through it all. 

Our Loving Sun manage to sound organic and electronic, old and new at exactly the same time. Is a clever tick masterfully pulled off, and recognition must go to Mina for unearthing this exciting pair in the first place.

Following on from label-head Masaya's ‘Angel’ EP that picked up support from the likes of Peter Van Hoesen, Osunlade and Vince Watson, the ever-impressive Mina Recordings is back this March with Sabota & Grenier ‘Two Hands’ with remixes from Sei A and Sam K

‘Two Hands’ is a moody yet powerful opener featuring ethereal and emotive vox that reverberates around whirring atmospherics and soft arpeggios while it’s counterpart, ‘Piece by Piece’ is similarly melodic with honeyed tones, spongey production and hushed vocals mingling with airy pads.

First up for remix duty is Aus & Turbo Recordings man Sei A. For his version of ‘Two Hands’ he tears through to the other end of the musical spectrum with a no-nonsense techno cut cultivated for late hours and dark rooms. Last and by no means least Sam K delves into upbeat percussive rhythms, shimmering modulations and oscillating keys to round things off in deep and dynamic fashion.

Sabota & Grenier ‘Two Hands’ EP is released on Mina Recordings on TBC March 2015.

M014 - Sabota & Grenier - Two hands

Masaya’s ‘Remember’ on her Mina Records is an evocative, low-slung house track led by tender, sultry vocals. Tight drums are marked by pure nostalgia, backed with acute low-end and echoing percussion that pushes the track forward. Cadenza Records co-founder Quenum completely reimagines the cut, its soft pads brought to the fore, while the six-minute remix rides a chugging techno beat alongside the original’s drifting vocals.
Chilean-born, Switzerland-based Masaya has been a driving force in the Swiss electronic music scene since 2001 while releasing on notable labels like Chapter 24, klaus:elle, and John Digweed’s Bedrock. As the founder of Mina Records, she’s worked with Swiss talents like Ripperton, Agnes and Chaton, as well as international producers like Rene Breitbarth, Pawas, Clara Moto, and Petar Dundov. Remixer Quenum is a revered figure in the techno scene with a career spanning over 30 years, starting as part of Access 58, performing live at iconic venues and collaborating with artists like The Advent and Umek. Later, Quenum co-founded Cadenza Records with Luciano while putting out releases on prolific labels such as Transmat, Cocoon, and Fabric.

Song 01 - A little part of shade feat. Germain Umdenstock

This is the first song of the album. I did it with my good friend Germain. 
We were in Italy for holidays and we recorded that song by a hot day in july at the rooftop. 
The original recording has way more elements basically but after several listening i was more convinced that the guitars all alone will be the best way to release it and i chose it to open the album.
