Barbatuques is a Brazilian collective that produces music mainly through their bodies, like beatboxing, clap of hands, whispers, finger claps, hitting their chests, tap dancing etc. resulting in stunning sounds. Now hot Italian producers Milangeles and The Clerk have teamed up to rework Barbatuques´epic "Baiana" anthem in contemporary bass style.

Oren Ambarchi 
'Live Knots' (PAN 53)
2xLP/CD/DL

Live Knots, Oren Ambarchi’s first release for PAN, presents two live realizations of ‘Knots’, the epic centrepiece of his Audience of One (Touch, 2012) release. Built on the interplay between Ambarchi’s swirling, guitar harmonics and the metronomic pulse and shifting accents of Joe Talia’s DeJohnette-esque drumming, the piece merges the organic push and pull of free improvisation with an overarching compositional framework.

‘Tokyo Knots’ presents the complete recording of a duo performance of the piece by Ambarchi and Talia recorded at Tokyo’s legendary SuperDeluxe in March 2013. The performance builds gently on the foundation of Talia’s insistent ride cymbal and the shifting tonal bed of Ambarchi’s rich overtone-drenched guitar, eventually going into a free rock free fall of buzzsaw harmonics and crashing drums. From within the maelstrom, Talia picks up a pulsing motorik rhythm that leads the piece back to where it began, with the addition of the shuddering, elastic tones of a hand-played spring reverb unit.

‘Krakow Knots’, recorded live at Unsound Festival in Krakow in 2013, works with the same basic structure but stretches it out to nearly twice the length and adds strings played by the Sinfonietta Cracovia, led by Eyvind Kang on viola. The strings expand the piece’s textural range with lush chordal blocks, uneasy dissonances and occasional Ligeti-esque swarms of micro-activity, the swelling string tones intensifying the ecstatic nature of the piece as it moves towards its mid-point crescendo in which Ambarchi unleashes a particularly malicious continuum of stuttering harmonic fuzz. The strings then enter with a series of swelling chords, announcing the piece’s final movement, and reaffirming the uniqueness of the tonal and compositional language that Ambarchi has patiently developed over the last two decades, in which the influence of post-minimal composers such as Alvin Curran, Gavin Bryars and David Behrman can be felt alongside the inspiration of raw free jazz, harsh noise and academic psychoacoustics. The final moments of the performance pit Talia and Crys Cole’s amplified objects and spring reverb textures against a field of gently gliding string glissandi before the audience erupts in much-deserved applause.

Oren Ambarchi 'Live Knots' Unsound Krakow excerpt (PAN 53)

Peter Broderick - Red Earth

The first single to be taken from the forthcoming album, Upper Hell, released worldwide on Howie B's HB Recordings label on April 27th.

Album Release: ‘Upper Hell’
Release Date: 27th April 2015
Label: HB Recordings

“ timeless,organic and quite simply beautiful “ – Norman Records - 10/10

“ an enlightening, everlasting album” – The List - 5/5

“a quiet, emotional power” – The Scotsman - 4/5

“Deliriously inventive” – Clash Magazine 

'Album of the Month’ – Monorail Records

“…Ela Orleans is a revelation. Both utterly timeless and of the moment…” Rough Trade 

“She is Moondogmatic in her intransigent commitment to producing compositions of subtlety and incongruent beauty. These are polysemous confections which make you feel that you are listening to pop music for the first time again” – Time Out NY

‘Upper Hell’ is the sixth album to be released by pop noir collagist Ela Orleans. Produced by Howie B, it’s due out on 27th April 2015 and will be released on his new label, HB Recordings. Howie was introduced to Ela’s music by his sister and was so wowed that he offered to produce an album for her. She is also the first artist signing to HB Recordings.

Inspired by Dante’s ‘Inferno’, ‘Upper Hell’ is an intriguing, cerebral body of work that sees Orleans push her pastoral pop roots into more cinematic terrain, experimenting with carefully considered sound art segments and complex electronic textures.

Ela has been flirting with the dance aesthetic for a while under another moniker TRACT so Howie’s offer to produce this album allowed her to explore that further with this album.

Orleans is a Polish musician now based in Glasgow. She was a member of the genre defying Glasgow band Hassle Hound, has played with various luminaries of the New York experimental and noise scenes and is a composer for the screen and theatre.

During her career this hugely prolific artist has released five solo albums and collaborated on several more. Her 2012 album ‘Tumult in Clouds’ won the Mercury alternative the Dead Albatross Prize in 2013 and her work has won her admirers in The Pastels, David Lynch, Thurston Moore and Ian Rankin.



Ela Orleans - The Sky and the Ghost

In 1998 I bought a Juno 6 synthesiser for £40. For who knows how many years prior it had lain dormant in my High School Music department. Over the years it taught me many lessons. On the night I parted with it I wrote this tune.

Lost Map are excited to welcome latest signings Bas Jan, the London experimental post-punk trio built around the remarkable and distinctive voice and songs of multi-instrumentalist and composer Serafina Steer. A brilliant, bonkers, shape-shifting song about the weird tedium of a text message spat (“Drop it? Why don’t you drop it!”), Argument – available to stream and share now – is the first single to be revealed from Bas Jan’s forthcoming debut album Yes I Jan, due early 2018. The track was produced by Leo Abrahams. Serafina is one of the latest winners of the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Awards for Artists.
