DBA015.5 ALI KING - SESSION 24

A beautiful, emotional track from the Italian artist Elisio, now given a pulsing, deep house rhythm. This remix is built around a melancholic piano and a smooth, hypnotic Afro House groove.

Focused on creating an organic, late-night vibe with syncopated percussion, warm pads, and a dreamy atmosphere. This is designed for the deeper side of the dancefloor.

Original Track: Elisio - Non è l'oceano

Remix by: Bruno Marafini

Non è l'oceano (Bruno Marafini Afro Edit)[FREE DL]

The track "Still Frame" by "Unknown Artist" immediately immerses listeners in a melancholic yet serene soundscape. It opens with gentle ambient textures and ethereal synth pads, establishing a spacious and introspective mood. A subtle, deep kick drum and hypnotic synth arpeggios gradually build a steady, flowing rhythm, evolving into a sophisticated deep house groove. The processed male vocals, almost whispered, deliver emotional and reflective lyrics, notably "You're a still frame... moving in a silent story... quiet low," which resonate deeply with the track's title and atmospheric essence. This piece masterfully blends a driving, yet unhurried, electronic pulse with lush, evolving melodies and a profound emotional core, inviting contemplation and introspection. It's a perfect soundtrack for moments of quiet reflection or late-night drives.

Portable - This Horizon Remixes
Label: Khoikhoi Records
Release Date: 14 February 2020
Format: Digital
Buy / Pre-Order: https://khoikhoirecords.bandcamp.com/album/this-horizon-remixes

Portable’s magical ‘This Horizon’ sees its release on the producer’s own Khoikhoi Records imprint on 14th February which is taken from his forthcoming Album 'The Transit Of Mercury' which is already getting the nod from Laurent Garnier, Honey Dijon, Ben UFO & Motor City Drum Ensemble, the package includes variations by the South African’s Bodycode alias, duo Bergemeann & Legget as well as a version from Johannesburg producer Sound of Xee.

While the original is a whirlwind of poignant vocals, floating melodies entwined in a tight leftfield house groove, Bergemann & Legget’s cleverly strips back, delving in the intensity of the single. It really is a testament to Portable’s ability to build an unsettling sense of beauty.

Sound of Xee makes his mark with a slow-building, progressive, rolling take, slipping into its own frenzy of percussion – a Khoikhoi mainstay at the forefront of South African electronic music in full force right here.

And finally, Portable’s own Bodycode moniker leads ‘This Horizon’ further into club territory with the seriously good ‘Bellycloud’ remix – jutting keys and 4x4 energy ending things in a place of all-out party.

PREMIERE : Portable - This Horizon (Bodycode Bellycloud Remix)

‘You Are Eternity’ is the third album to be released on Stroboscopic Artefacts and comes from two of the minds who have shaped the label since its earliest days: Dadub. Recorded over a period of two years, but containing fragments and ideas that stretch back a decade ‘You Are Eternity’ has been mixed together to form a continuous piece rather than twelve discreet tracks. The effect? An immersive journey that encompasses the descriptors brutal, ferocious, ambient and aqueous.

It would be easy to describe the album’s structure as that of two halves, but it’s not that simple. The structure that Dadub has developed is cyclical at its most compliant, and elliptical at its most oblique. Within these forms the sounds that emerge run the gamut of electronic music. ‘Existence’ and ‘Unbroken Continuity’ explore futuristic, atmospheric states. ‘Path’ swaggers with rippled dub. Embedded into ‘Truth’ is a polemic sample of Henry Waxman questioning Alan Greenspan. And the same record houses ‘Transfer’, a staunch cut that’s more than fortified to do some damage.

In the studio Dadub’s process is nothing short of alchemical. Their characteristic sound originates from entirely digital sources, but their sound treatments reanimate this raw material filling it with warmth and human emotion. The source loops and synthesised lines are run through countless channels and complex chains of effects to arrive at a destination unrecognisable from the points of origin. Dadub are true sound materialists.

Knowing that Dadub place so much emphasis on process, it’s all the more interesting to hear their collaborations with other artists and ‘You Are Eternity’ is graced by fellow SA cohort Edit Select, the sound experimenter Øe and Ninja Tunes stalwart King Cannibal. It is indeed King Cannibal who teamed up for the album’s most ferocious cut ‘Transfer’. Whereas ‘Experience’ ft. Øe is a hazy slither of atmospherica. And the only straight kick of the entire record is to be found on the track with the most elusive subject matter, ‘Circle’ ft. Edit Select, a collaborative elegy on the ultimate unknown. ‘You Are Eternity’ tends towards spaces that are undefined, that are unquantifiable - this album is a foray into Jenseits.

The album title hints at the almost spiritual origins of the album, Dadub’s search for music that goes further, that spreads away from the confines of the time and place in which we find ourselves, music that seeps into the cavern of the eternal. Tucked into ‘Vibration’, the very first track, is a sample of the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He leans close and says: Music is a spiritual gift, and those who misuse it, die young. Sage words. ‘You Are Eternity’ is a record that refuses to take any chances, Dadub are clearly producers intent on being around for quite some time.

We're no strangers to Philip Budny here at Bolting Bits, keeping a close watch - since his first forays into the world of blissed out house music on Church's Volumes compilation, to his recent outing on Let’s Play House - it’s been a joy watching his music develop and bloom. It’s an even greater pleasure to premiere Belfast, the A2 off of his debut album “Shades of Blue”. Coming out on Philip’s own ‘Aronia Records’ imprint, the 7-tracker is Philip’s most expansive and cohesive work to date. Belfast, built on a bed of chilled out rolling drums and embellished with all sorts of hazy ambient synthetics, is a beautiful tune perfect for any comedown, or increasingly frequent bout of the quarantine blues. Closed-eyed, foot tapping and gentle hip swaying house music at its best, pretty much what we’ve come to expect from Philip Budny.However, the more ambient leaning pieces of the album see Budny delivering some of his most exciting work yet. A personal highlight is the title track, ‘Shades of Blue’, featuring beautifully emotive harmony - played through gliding synths reminiscent of his breakout tune ‘Eclipses’ -and super groovy sparse percussion, which are some of the more left-field and exciting rhythmic arrangements he’s offered up so far in his discography. Likewise, Moritzplatz, 2013, with drifting new-age piano riffs, rainsticks, detuned deteriorating strings, ambient field recordings little a tiny touch of percussion, is a beautifully crafted moment on the album. Such cuts see Budny tread newer ground both melodically and rhythmically, and the payoff is truly rewarding.All in all a serene, soothing journey from start to end, a perfect companion for quarantine daydreaming, ’Shades of Blue’ is a must-listen.
