Criminally underrated. This sound gives me that same smart, alternate dimension, designer drug from the future feeling i get from later Radiohead.

Boomkat Product Review:

Heavy-duty Indian soundsystem carnage by its leading proponent DJ Smiley Bobby, on Uganda’s immense NNT - unmissable for anyone wowed by recent videos of Indian sound clashes, priming the label for incoming heat by DJ TSR.

A proper mazza from Maharashtra State in Western India, DJ Smiley Bobby’s ‘Dhol Tasha Drum Exercises’ presents nearly an hour of up-to-the-second, electronic re-interpretations of ceremonial drums. It’s a full-frontal example of the rave energies in BRIC countries currently catching fire internationally, paralleling innovative mutations of Baile funk in Brazil or from the Svbkvlt lot in China with a ruthlessly rough brand of dancefloor discipline that sharply bends tradition into the hot present. Yr ears will not deceive you - DJ Smiley Bobby’s gear is frankly some of the sickest we’ve heard in a minute and we expect this introduction to be prized by any ravers unsatisfied with Western club music’s increasing tendencies to imitate-not-innovate.

First formed by the late Shri Appasaheb Pendse in the ‘60s, Dhol Tasha Drum exercises were originally performed on a sort of acoustic kettle drum but became electronically adapted in recent years thanks to the likes of DJ Smiley Bobby and peers including DJ Aasif, DJ Ammy, and DJ TSR, the latter of whom is due to drop an album with NNT this year. DJ Smiley Bobby’s introductory session finds the sound at its stripped down and breathless best with a ceaseless battery of drums and percussive madness that truly puts willing bodies thru their paces as the mixtape steps from side A’s 90-110bpm workout to its 150bpm ‘Hard Drum Sound System’ on the flip.

Also kinda mirroring the way DJ Plead has flipped Arabic drum styles, how Bilou XIV have transposed Senegalese mbalax drum patterns onto machine grids, or DJ Diaki’s Malian balani knee-ups, we’re certain this one will light up the pleasure centres of proper dancers everywhere, and dovetail with the sort of thing Beatrice Dillon makes, or anyone who’s been scouting zones where Indian bhangra and UK rave music bump fists, a la Mick St. Clair’s remixes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Un-fucking-missable!!!

DJ SMILEY BOBBY - Dhol Tasha Drum Exercises from Maharashtra (sampler)

The roar of the engines ignites the atmosphere of the garage. The metallic clinks blend with the deep rumble of the bass, creating a mechanical symphony that awakens the dormant assembly line. A technician, wrecnh in hand, is busy solving an issue with a faulty hose. She inspects every corner of the engine, from the recently drained oil filter to the perfectly intact cylinder head.

Another mechanic is about to check the clutch. He engages the 3rd gear with precision, while the rhythms infiltrate the workshop. The radio station broadcasts catchy beats, a fusion of scrapyard club and broken noise, forming a sonic canvas that envelops the space.

The sound of percusion guides the movements of the mechanic, revealing the nuances of each action. Post-pop covers and remixes intertwine, creating an unexpected soundtrack for this mechanical inspection session, accompanying the rotations of the wheels during three drifts.

"Troisième Vitesse" is a unique fusion between the world of Garage 83-C and the unrestrained creativity of club music. The metallic noises converse with the sonic experiments, creating an immersive experience where mechanics and electronic sequences come together.

It’s with great pleasure that we welcome an old friend and contemporary, Yamaneko, to the Little Corner label with ‘jbreezesunset’.

Six years after his relocation from London to Tokyo, this EP recalls the sound of his early era-defining LP’s 'Pixel Wave Embrace' and 'Project Nautilus' on Local Action, told through the time-worn lens of acclimatisation and assimilation in another country. Where those records often touched upon Japanese ambient music and videogame soundtracks with an outsider's admiration from afar, this EP refocuses the ever-present influence of grime, techno, funky, new age and even Mr. Oizo-like glitch from a new distance and mindset. And though this record is more beat-focused and surprisingly club-ready than other recent works, the space and distance between each kick, clap or meticulous SFX-grabs are just as important as his impeccable sound selection and design.

With charming artwork to match from one of Yamaneko's personal favourite new artists and illustrators Léa Siffert.

Listen to 'Breezes In The Wave Wires' now - available in full in all the usual places July 25th

Breezes In The Wave Wires

"Wayu" is a new spiritual journey, where deep electronic rhythms meet the soul of Africa.
Born from the collaboration between Nato and Sahalé, this track invites you to lose yourself in a hypnotic trance, guided by soaring melodies and african voices.

A slow-burning blend of downtempo grooves, analog textures, percussions, and chants — Wayu is both grounding and elevating.
It’s not just a song, it’s a ritual: one foot on the earth, the other floating in the sky.

Nato & Sahalé - Wayu

Equiknoxx are one of the hottest, most innovative dancehall squads from Jamaica right now; Bird Sound Power is their debut collective show of strength, packing 12 avant, crooked riddims by core members Gavsborg and Time Cow, plus Bobby Blackbird and Kofi Knoxx, with vocals by Kemikal, Shanique Marie and J.O.E. (R.I.P).
The set was parsed and pieced together by Jon K & Demdike Stare , and now thanks to link ups via Swing Ting’s Balraj Samrai (a longtime livicated supporter), it is issued on Demdike’s DDS imprint, replete with Jon K’s sleeve design.
Easily identified by the squawking bird idents peppering their cuts, Equiknoxx productions have been big in the dance since Gavin Blair a.k.a. Gavsborg produced Busy Signal’s billboard hit Step Out in 2005, followed by key instrumentals for Beenie Man, Aidonia, Masicka, and T.O.K. - with many released on 7” thru their Equiknoxx Musiq label, and some of which, such as Aidonia’s Negative, are included in this set.
Bird Sound Power arguably marks up the most striking riddim album you’ll hear from JA in 2016, weighted with the potential to open up perceptions of current dancehall thanks to the mad character and broad reference points of its producers, encompassing King Jammy’s foundational digi-dub and Dave Kelly’s Mad House sound as much as rugged New York hip hop and the wigged-out, feminine pressure of Virginia Beach’s Timbaland or The Neptunes.
The oldest tune inside dates to 2009, but the rest are relatively recent dancehall mutations, including a number of exclusives produced in the last 12 months. Each one reps for Equiknoxx’s unique aspects, such as Jordan Chung a.k.a. Time Cow’s brilliantly bizarre, layered arrangements of film samples, sawn-off hooks and digi-tight beats, whilst also a result of as their distinguished family vibe,
Bird Sound Power exists in a paradox, contemporary but classic, and with as much potential to turn new heads onto current JA sounds as Mowax’s Now Thing set back in 2001, which remains a key touchstone for all fwd looking producers..

気鋭の電子音楽家、宮田涼介の5thアルバム。
幼少からの空想・絵空事・物語の創造と、
感銘を受けた事象の表現・昇華によって紡がれた、
珠玉のピアノ作品集。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
殺風景な街並みに 次第に灯るあたたかな光。
優しく頬をくすぐる風のような 自然にそばに寄り添うメロディー。
fraqsea/aya (Shelling Vo&Gt)

なぜか子供のころによく遊んだ公園を思い出させるような、
ノスタルジックな雰囲気を持ちつつ、あくまで現代的なピアノソロ作品だと思います。
日本人ならではの作品として耳にとても残ります。
Wataru Sato/Gecko (Composer, Pianist)

映画音楽のように鮮明な、音による場面描写。そして溢れんばかりのノスタルジア。
まるで誰かの、ないしは宮田涼介の記憶をそのままCDに漬け込んだようなそんなアルバム。
自分の思い出を聴かされているような。
それは不安でもあるし安心でもあり、例えるなら裸にされてしまったような羞恥心さえ湧いてくる感覚。
車両の少ない電車の中でオレンジ色に輝いている麦畑を横目に見ながら幼馴染の友人とお話をしている自分の姿が見えます。
そんな思い出無いのに。
harogi（かろうじて人間 Vo&Gt）

5th Album "films" Crossfeed Sample

released on Dronarivm,  March 17th

release page : https://dronarivm.com/2017/03/03/lorenzo-masotto-aeolian-processes/

“By the moment my hands touch the piano and I begin to compose, my conscience starts a journey, leaving my body. During its wandering shows me pictures of the places it encounters, creating a sort of connection between my unconscious and my fingers. The colors, the landscapes, the faces of the people it photographs along the way are so clear in my mind to allow me to portray those images, using only the sound that a piano can paint.” 

- Lorenzo Masotto 

Lorenzo Masotto’s journey with music began at the age of nine when he started playing piano. Graduating from Conservatorio di Verona, he consequently started studying composition and jazz. Lorenzo also plays in a prog/post rock band called Le Maschere di Clara, directs a male voice choir, writes music for film and theatre, and teaches piano and composition. “I’ve never only thought about writing in just one music style,” he says, “I love all music, and everything I write increases my confidence and ability to write from a wider perspective.” He has published two albums, “Silk” in 2015 (Alfa music) and “Rule and Case” in the 2016 (Preserved Sound).
