What you know

In the cold and dreary winter of 2009, alone in his bedroom and hidden from the darkness of the world outside Justin Paul Vallesteros had begun working on something that would change his life forever. What began as a couple notes played in experimentation soon transformed into vibrant melodies that soon shook Vallesteros’ musical foundation to the core. Guitar chords laced over pulse sating synth melodies and drum rhythms was a departure from Justin’s previous work; he began to create the dreamy nostalgic pop music that is Craft Spells. Justin is a California native who now finds residence in the mid-size town of Stockton, the heart of California. Craft Spells is the epitome of the recent uprising of the DIY music scene. Coming from a place not known for its musical history or impact on music culture it seemed destined for Craft Spells to stay as a bedroom pop project with no final destination in sight. But soon the shear amount of blog volume his work began to generate was unimaginable. Sites like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork’s Forkcast took notice and thus began the never ending worldwide posting and re-posting on blog after blog of Craft Spells. The sound is led by Justin’s blissful voice, backed behind beautiful guitar melodies over heavenly synths, pop basslines and looped rhythms. Captured Tracks has released 7” single for the song “Party Talk” and will release the debut LP due out in Spring 2011 called Idle Labor. 2011 is going to be a busy year now that Justin has set up a live band for future touring. Keep a look out for tour dates in Europe and US come the new year. In no time at all, Justin has been able to move out of Dave Brubeck and Pavement’s shadow to create something his own which he shares with the ever continuing admiration of the world.

Go Astray: “Keep Loving Me“ EP

Emerald & Doreen Records can`t just stop loving her. 

After her solo release and an EP as a part of trio KLANGLIEBE, Klangschwester now sets in scene her third apparition as part of duo Go Astray. 


Karl Gruender and Klangschwester were gone astray while drifting on the same musical wavelength. When he was a child, Karl must have been fallen into a pot of magic potion with a lot of creative and productive energy in it, which is now gushing out and out of him. Since they met on the net, Klangschwester is taking paradisiac soundbathes in these effusions. Inspired and spurred, she puts her voice into rainbow bubbles, watches them flying over the sound, and waits for the moment that they burst.


All they say themselves on their “Keep Loving Me“ EP is as short and sharp as their sounds are long and winding: “Unfulfilled aspirations, secret wishes. Doubt and questions. Contrasts. Dark sides. Sexual attraction.”

All Emerald & Doreen has to add: Introspective, broken bass with longing vocals on the original tracks “Keep Loving Me“, “Touch“ and “Bittersweet“. Plus a massive collection of equally brilliant remixes: Haioka takes it to a wonderland, Fluss creates a hymn that will stay on your head for days, Copycat arranges a nu disco stomper and adds a symphony version of equal elegance, the Dead Sea Captains open the electro-house floor, and the always amazing Theatre Of Delays just have their fun at exactly this stage of moving in and moving out.

Un souffle de vie, une route intérieure.
Ce morceau est une traversée : entre passé et demain, entre souvenirs et lumière.
Composé dans un moment suspendu, avec une touche latino légère, en souvenir des couleurs du monde.
Un DevSong.

Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire - Codebreaker

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.
