It’s no coincidence that Susan has yet another match with the Box. Wait, we mean. Ok, let’s start over. Match Box has a second date with Susan. No one has to perform a rain check here, because the evening is in full effect. Here’s how the story goes.

It’s a dreamy vibe. The wind gushes between our gears as the sunset tickles the scene. We are sensitive to the light. We believe in what is to come. We’re on the hunt. In the far out foggy clearance we are struck by the sparks of a very rare object. Amethysts depict a calm purple variety of quartz. Whatever that means, we’re floating on an unknown cloud. This Amsterdam duo really does this to us, huh? Heavy on the synths, easy on the emotions. A banger in the making, is what is whispered into our ears. Trippy echoes massage seemingly infinite chords, whistles and sounds I’ve never heard before. I really like this kind of.. uh.. you know.

Two drinks down the line and the fluids of life become increasingly apparent. Tip-toeing from left to right, the jumpy stabs of house music stand glaring at our eardrums. We need to have a shot. Let’s order this one called - what was it again? - oh yeah, Fluidum. Down the throat it goes and we notice an increasing pace. That familiar echo rings our bells. Again. This song demands we go with the flow. Let’s do it. A casual stomper. But only if you really sit down and try to understand.

Do you ever read? Have you ever felt that sensation? You know what I’m talking about. The one where you suddenly wake up as a bug, clustered to your bed, crawling up the wall? Or the other one where your mind is oppressed by a nightmarish endeavour that keeps on repeating itself? The drums. The bass. It’s all part of this adventure. Let go of the nightmare. Embrace reality. Because you are free. As you shift into the ease of life you are blessed by an inner momentum. You don’t have to read Kafka to be Kafkaesque. Match Box tell their story and offer you an alternative to repetitive madness by introducing a novel claim. One that will bring us to the next level. Go now, go.

Shall we hit the casino then? Sure. A gamble is what this really is. These boys call it a Mutation Gamble, for it translates into a multiplicity. You kno’wha’I’m’Sayin’? The snares are tender, the futurism is constant. A little breather in the middle segues into an augmented past. Just as we think we know where this is headed, the echoing vocals grab our hand and say: not here, but there. That is where we will commence that feeling of tomorrow. OK, you say. I am with you on this one.

Everyone works hard for a climax. Down the line is where it stands. We really need to lean back. We need to observe. Flattering spirits linger as the background noise fades into a holistic feast of synthesised cinematic culture. This is the culture we strive for. A modular masterpiece is what we are presented. Is this some kind of new technique?

Have you caught your breath yet? Well, there’s no choice here. A mescaline-induced trip from the here and the now is generated in a collaboration between the boxed matches and Exo Moda. An intense click overwhelmingly bangs into a fast-paced anthem. We’re all dancing at this point in time. And precisely time is what we are now, finally, questioning.  It’s been a trip. It’s been a momentary invasion of our mind. It’s been a pleasure. Actually, did someone say it was going to rain? I’ve danced myself dry and am ready to do it all again.

Following a trilogy of albums for the label, @luke-vibert returns to @hypercolourrecords in June for his next LP. ‘GRIT.’ Featuring 12 tracks of bouncy acid jams suffused with playful energy. The rulebook’s not being rewritten here, but perhaps it doesn’t always need to be.

GRIT

Luke Vibert - Gas Logs [Hypercolour]

The four-tracker kicks off with a jungle-infused club tool: "Cafe del Mardcore", which combines a relaxing vocal with sweet synth harmonies for a zen-like rave atmosphere. "Ausgefallen" carries you further into the groove with its sublime sampling and eery vocals.

On the flip we have "Dream Team", where influences of electro and footwork can be heard combined with ethereal pads and sizzling percussion. B2's "Take It" rounds out the release with a mystic 140 bpm roller, whose uplifting chords and infectious vocal make their way out of the club and into your heart.

The digital version of the EP comes with two remixes by local talents jpeg.love & UrbnMowgli. jpeg utilises their otherworldly voice on a cloudy reinterpretation of "Dream Team'', which presents a subtle take on jungle, floating on soft pads and chopped up beats. UrbnMowgli, meanwhile, steers things towards a different realm of the dancefloor with his electrobreaks remix of "Take It" which dissects the original and reconstitutes it as a main room banger with fresh cheeky vocal samples and rough 'n' raw synth-lines.

Mozambican live artist and producer Nandele kicks off our sub-label Human Endeavour’s 2024 schedule with an ode to his home city, Maputo.

As a key figure in the capital’s electronic music scene, Nandele has earned a reputation for producing hypnotic analogue beats shaped by his wide-ranging tastes; spells in grunge bands, boom bap crews and hip hop collectives, and releases for Tresor, Cotch International, Already Dead Tapes and our own Ransom Note Records, are just a few footnotes in a nearly 25-year long career.

Plans for a full body of work for our R$N sub-label have been in motion for some time - Nandele’s track ‘Incomati’ opened the label’s first ever release in 2022 - so this EP marks an important chapter in the imprint’s journey.

Across the EPs six tracks Nandele weaves field recordings captured around Maputo with tense rhythms; at times they crawl and slither, at others they rumble and clatter.

Lead single and opening track, ‘Sou Plastiko (Meu Lugar)’, is a prime example. Dripping with suspense, its rhythmic skeleton is fleshed out with trippy vocals, ringing synths and sharp, crisp percussion.

Cin Cin is pleased to present its 8th instalment and it’s a down under double header ! First up is Melbourne's Statue who give us a pair of percussive workouts engineered for maximum hip wiggling.  Statue is a mysterious percussion-based structure erected by Tom Gould. Whilst laying down the foundations in cult Melbourne bands NO ZU and World’s End Press, the release of two EPs under the moniker Statue has solidified it’s presence within Melbourne’s dance music culture. Base and Face are site-specific structures created for the club. The Base and Face are fundamental elements of a Statue whilst also referring to the facial contortions that occur in the club during the early hours of the morning. Commissioned by Cin Cin, Statue casts a peculiar shadow on the dance floor. Come visit.
On the flip fellow Melburnians Ara Koufax take us for a swim with two prime time cuts of pseudo-psychedelic acid nouveau. Another dope one on Cin Cin ! Preorder here : http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/statue-ara-koufax-base-test-dream-pre-ord-cin-cin/145676

Your freedom - your illusion.
“Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
After playing in the city many times and hosted a legendary party at Opium Club, the relationship between Calypso and Vilnius became a quite strong.
This is why eclectic mexican imprint invited Lithianian capital's local talent Plot Pilot to share a release with label boss Thomass Jackson for the next Correcciones chapter. 
The A side is Jackson's time to deliver his two edits. First one is a bongo driven, afro robotic vocals, breakish trance extravaganza. While the second one goes straight for the chin with it's vocals who comand you to work work work! 
The lithuanian boys deliver a cosmic track full of psychedelic guitars and bleepy noises on their first one and for the second one, and the one we are premiering here, they pay tribute to the lithuanian seaside where every summer the famous Ant Bangos festival takes place.

PREMIERE #1082 | Thomass Jackson - Lavora! [Calypso] 2020

The drums were electrifying and enticing, they shimmered and danced between the walls reverberating with a deep echoed pulse. It were as if some great 808 waterfall was plummeting down a cliff face into a deep blue lagoon as the stab of a flickering melody played out atop the repetitive beat. This was beautiful, melancholy music. This was the sound of another dimension in a place and state far, far away. 

KSKY is set to release a new EP on 10010, it's a well crafted collection of tracks which takes the listener and dancer through worlds unknown. This track was the highlight of the record for us, a shimmering melodic affair which is perfect for those special 2am moments.

PREMIERE: KSKY - 808 Waterfall [10010]

Moshi Moshi Records started off as a hobby in 1998. Set up by three friends who had jobs working for major record labels. It was intended as a way of working with the bands that they loved but which didn’t fit in with the agenda of the day-job taskmasters. Early single releases from Zan Lyons, Kathryn Williams & Pedro and J Xaverre earned the label some plaudits. And sold a few records. Over the next five years Moshi Moshi slowly started to build a reputation for interesting, slightly leftfield, low-key releases. Then in 2004 things changed. For a start Moshi stopped being a hobby and became a fulltime job. Very soon after, Hot Chip and Bloc Party arrived and Moshi Moshi quickly became a name known to more than a few. Chart success followed with Yeti and The Rakes and higher-profile album releases from Architecture In Helsinki and Au Revoir Simone helped lift the label onto a new level. Then from 2006 onwards came artists such as Hot Club De Paris, Tilly And The Wall, The Wave Pictures, Slow Club, James Yuill, The Drums, Summer Camp, the list goes on.

In late 2006 the two remaining Moshi Moshi founders decided they wanted to get back to their one-off 7” release roots and the Moshi Moshi Singles Club was born. The intention was to try and release one 7” each month by a new up-and-coming artist. It would be limited to 1000 and only be available in a select group of indie stores. The artwork would be restricted to one colour and be designed by the bands themselves. Now some 40+ releases later the singles club’s roster makes an impressive list – (including) Kate Nash, Late of The Pier, Friendly Fires, Lykke Li, Florence and The Machine, Kindness, Dananananayckroyd. Disclosure. In 2011 Moshi Moshi expanded its remit by partnering up with some very talented young A&R folk to set up the imprints Tender Age, Not Even, Apricot and Dream Beach. Working under the Moshi Moshi umbrella these new labels have already yielded a clutch of exciting releases by artists from as far afield as Kenya and Seattle.

At the same time as running the record label Moshi Moshi Management has been quietly guiding the career of Metronomy and Slow Club as well as producers Ash Workman and Ollie Bayston. From 2012 this side of the business started to expand dramatically and now features a sizeable roster of emerging artists.

Looking back on the Moshi Moshi roster (particularly since the label ‘went fulltime’ in 2004) it’s a collection that bears comparison with any of its peers. For a label run by two people with no financial backing, it’s nothing short of an inspiration.
