Exploring hybrid music styles and outernational, borderless musical influences, DJ soFa’s Elsewhere compilation series continues with a sixth instalment, and the second to appear on Kalahari Oyster Cult.

Always ahead of the tide, the Kalahari Oyster is a fine specimen when it comes to the discipline of next-level sound-snooping. Meticulously curated by Belgian sonic globetrotter soFa, Elsewhere XX showcases a dozen outstanding tunes, each dwelling in their own personal space between the imaginary worlds of post-kraut, DIY synth-punk and odd-pop ballads.

Melting these genres with contemporary club music is the mission here. Doused in a thick fog of arcane machine talk, tribal rhythms and cosmic synths, Elsewhere XX is an invitation to escape the hall of LED-backlit mirrors that we’ve so mistakenly come to call our “reality”.

Gathering artists from all corners of the globe – including Radio Hito, Anatolian Weapons, Eylul Deniz, Dame Area and Electronic Body Girl – soFa’s curation lays the groundwork for a unique and thoroughly immersive listening and dancing experience. Through a carefully selected suite of like-minded, yet diverse joints, we run the gamut from distorted funk (“Anita”, “Confiture") and cross-pollinated electroid blueprints (“Walk Away”, “An Abhainn Mhor") to oddball synthpop (“Credo” & Twin Peaks cover "She Can't Die"), reverb-soaked audio safaris (“Fifty Fifty (Anatolian Weapons Dub)") and static-filled postpunk (“Umani”).

soFa's Elsewhere series started in 2017 and this is the sixth compilation to date. Shifting focus with every new instalment, the compilations have previously appeared on labels likes Music For Dreams, Emotional Response and Crevette Records.

PREMIERE: Sam Media - Simple As Fuck [Kalahari Oyster Cult]

Dropping their second Corpus compilation, Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury showcases gems from the label, past and present. Focusing on remixes from early digital releases, augmented with a brand new mix of Timothy Clerkin, these four dance floor weapons see a release on their rightful format, 12” wax.

Opening proceedings with a meditative, shadowy remix of Timothy Clerkin’s Primary Function, Berlin’s Shokh takes us down into the depths, showcasing his masterful production skills with a lofi trip into the darkness.

Naïve records boss Violet immediately ups the tempo with her skippy, bass-laden take on Apollo View’s II, ratcheting up the original for maximum pumpiness!

Label friend Bawrut chimes in next with his dance floor destroying mix of False Flag from Dark Circles – phasers set firmly to Raze Everything To The Ground And Leave Nothing Standing, Bozza’s inimitable, weaponised Acid will stop the most ecstatic of clubbers in their tracks.

Rounding off, Italian Stallion Younger Than Me takes Shun’s I’ll Never Reach Your Level and turns up the Rave- O-meter to eleven, introducing some vigorous 303 and breakbeat action, pushing it to maximum gurn!

PREMIERE: Shun - I'll Never Reach Your Level (Younger Than Me Remix) [Insult To Injury]

This is one of those stories that starts with a boy finding a book in a dusty attic. 'Weird Legend' drags you across contrasting seascapes, offering different lighting from song to song. Abundant in field recordings from this former sailor officer's favorite beaches of Crimea, this material has sounds of the sea and ocean as a main inspiration. Both gentle and moist in its melodies and as harsh as techno can get in its beats, D. Yaroslav’s (@dyaroslav) debut takes a strong stance and doesn’t fall out of character. Once again, WhyPeopleDance (@whypeopledance) are helping the ones in need. The Dug Up The Bongo founder reached out to the collective with this entrancing material to help Kyiv’s humanitarian fund “Grains of Peace”, started by “20ft radio”.

New releases by label boss Imanol include two remixes by Mahkina AKA Alex Aguayo and Giama respectively.

These three original tracks are inspired by the global crises between pandemic, war and devastated markets bringing the old school break sound to our ears and the usual house we provide hand in hand with these three Latin American artists

Groovie bassline accompanied by classical synthesizers with a lot of arpeggiators and endless dance loops. "Hundidos" (sunken) has some original vocals by Imanol itself and the lyrics indicate the aforementioned concept. Break N°2 is a part two dub version of the first track produced with similar instruments. "Dr. Jekyll y el Mr. Hyde" samples a Cortázar reflection of loneliness which frames very well what the pandemic was for the artist.

Artist: Mahkina
Title: Hundidos remix

Every track has its own spirit, in a kind of a 90s journey way.
The compilation is a fascinating mixture of weird cosmic and slow goa sequences to more emotional places with powerful bassdriven downtempo techno and slightly trance influenced anthems as well as distinctive tribal acid easiness with melancholic pads and epic melodies. Furthermore it involves faster loaded minimal hypnotic synth sounds and dark UK-House with a big-beat touch to it. Raw liquid floating sharp breaks melts into rave stompers which are inhabited by sensitive living microbes vibrating jungle atmospheres.

PREMIERE: Rambal Cochet - Data Rush [Terra Magica Rec.]

The nomadic life was all they knew, for as long as they could remember they'd moved from place to place, with one eye constantly looking over their shoulder. In this day and age it was impossible to remain undercover; to don a new identity and pitch up somewhere for an extended period of time. No matter where they went, what buses, trains or planes they boarded, eventually they'd be tracked down and there was no knowing what would happen then...

After welcoming PCL to Slow Motion's Wrong Era off shoot back in June, label boss Fabrizio Mammarella makes his return to the parent imprint arm-in-arm with Italian retro-futurist producer Bottin for a brand new project: EYE-BM. The pair were jamming at CIMM studios when the release came to be; it's a melting pot of their combined musical passions. Backed by a remix from Italian synth wave icon Alexander Robotnick, the EP features three original tracks to get your body moving, which blend EBM, electro, Italo disco, cyberpunk and new beat.

PREMIERE: EYE-BM - 2 [Slow Motion]

"Begin again in this moment... Put your arms at your sides, perhaps take a few deep breaths, lose your focus in the process of breathing... You will also perceive bodily sensations and emotions and the full flow of your experience, simply absorb these phenomenon as they appear in consciousness and attune to the breath... It doesn't matter how long you've been lost in thought, just notice that in this instance and come back to the feeling of breathing, to the raw sensations of movement."

Up next on Glasgow's Sounds of Lava Lava is local producer Kieran Apter. He's the man at the helm of CB90 Dance Recordings, a label that's been home to the likes of Brain Dancing, Man Power and his own productions which touch on house, techno and acid. Now he brings a slice of the latter to SOLL with 'Begin Again', a hypnotic acid-driven cut carried along by raw, shuffling drum programming and a distorted vocal meditation, which is backed by a remix from another Scottish rising star, Liam Doc.

PREMIERE: Kieran Apter - Begin Again [Sounds of Lava Lava]

Facets’ Impulse EP, out this October on Dischi Autunno, is made for the sweaty confines of the dancefloor’s fog-filled spaces—ones that flicker with strobes and neon lights, alight from the energy of the crowd. The New York City by way of Belgrade producer pillages the hypnotic beats of the 1980s Belgian new beat movement on his four track debut EP. With the additional flavors of Italo-disco and freestyle, all overtop the decidedly EBM bassline movements, the EP’s grooves are dangerously addictive as it twists and turns through moody atmospheres. Impulse was written during lockdown and, as Facets notes, was put together in haste: “It was produced somewhat fast,” he says, “and just had this impulse to finish and work on music at that time.”

“My Voice” finds strength in its repetition and trance-like rhythm; its clandestine and mesmerizing sample sets the attitude for the rest of the EP as it demands, “Relax… and accept it.” The track “New Dawn” feels like an extension of the new beat artist, Shakti, with its Middle Eastern-influenced synths that bellow over its chugging bassline. Acting as a peak hour track, “Impulse” demands attention with its synth stabs akin to the Rhythm Device banger, “Acid Rock”—here, Facets’ own interpretation is a powerful addition to the new beat genre. Finally, “Rush” manages to blend dance aesthetics together to create a sleek, polished result that could be compared to his fellow label mate, Curses. Impulse is an exciting first offering from Facets as an arsenal of reimagined underground club tracks that are fresh but, at the same time, remain familiar as a tribute to past dance movements.
