VOLLLAST

Untitled(2) - A New Pass

The Dial Records co-founder is back with his first album in 17 years. If you're at all interested in contemporary European electronic music, you'll know that this is a big deal. 

And that's why we're letting you listen to the whole thing right now! Perishable Tactics is a sombre, melancholy affair, that drifts and dips, the musical equivalent of headlights peeking in and out of thick fog. You'll love it.

Perishable Tactics

Carsten Jost - Atlantis II

Following their eponymously titled 2016 arrival on Midland's Graded imprint, as well as a recent follow-up on Dark Entries, @Solitary-Dancer return to the label on which they made their debut. Once again, this three-track 12” blends electro, ambient, and acid to superb, undeniably modern effect.

With a running time of nearly 12-minutes, the title track 'Transmitting To Heaven' is an ambitiously sweeping cut that subtly moves through its various shades, from electro and acid, to strobe-lit 90s rave.

The B-side kicks off with 'Birth of Saturn', built around an arpeggiating synth that shifts and morphs throughout the track as the intensity ascends. The 12” closes off with 'At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss', a slow burning ambient piece that is as sombre as it is cinematic.

Solitary Dancer - At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss

In late 2016, Thomas Gandey and Danny McLewin — known from the popular disco-influenced electronic music collective Psychemagik — emerged from their studio in London, England, claiming to have produced an extended musical arrangement, both entitled, and containing the sounds of, shakuhachi. Furthermore, they insisted, for the purposes of this production, and a further album of related arrangements to be released subsequently in conjunction with the successful German record label Kompakt, they should be referred to henceforth as Ghost Vision.

Shortly thereafter, the audio recordings described by Gandey and McLewin came into the possession of noted Los Angeles degenerate, DJ and nymphomaniac* (citation needed) Dirty Dave, who was quick to relay the hallucinatory qualities of the duo’s productions to fellow DJ and trusted hallucinogenic expert Paramida, of esteemed German musical imprint Love On The Rocks.

Paramida, recognising the innate quality of the sounds presented to her, decided that such recordings warranted immediate release through her audio distribution channel, and not without remixes. Quite without thinking of the Eastern origins of the instrument which had given the recording certain sonic distinguishments, and of course, its title, she enlisted the help of two musicians named Alex — one from Tokyo, and one from Kyoto.

Both Alex From Tokyo — the acclaimed producer of electronic sounds known for his prior releases on popular German label Innervisions — and his counterpart, Alex from Kyoto, better known as Al Kassian, rising Tamagotchi on Paramida’s Love On The Rocks imprint and his own label, Planet Sundae — turned in striking reinterpretations of Gandey and McLewin’s composition. It was reported that upon their arrival and first listening at Love On The Rocks headquarters, wild dancing broke out almost immediately and did not stop for 36 hours.

The resulting package of stereo recordings was finally released for public broadcast and manipulation by disc jockeys in early 2018, to much rejoicing, from England to LA, throughout Europe and Japan. It marked the first release for the label in their fourth year of operation, during which there is much more to come.

Koehler opened into the hill a spacious wound and digged out ribs of gold. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. Side A, behold a wonder! They but now who seemed in bigness to surpass Earth's giant sons, now less than smallest dwarfs, in narrow room throng numberless—like the conjurers of 'Light Magic' beyond the Tuscan mount; or faery elves whose midnight revels by a forest-side or fountain some belated peasant sees, or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon sits arbitress, and nearer to the Earth wheels her pale course: they, on their mirth and dance, intent with jocund music charm our ear; at once with joy and fear our hearts rebound. Such place eternal justice has prepared for those rebellious; as far removed from the rave and light of a sunrise set as from the centre thrice to th' utmost pole.  Oh Side B, how unlike the place from whence they danced! There the companions of the artist’s departure, o'erwhelmed with floods and whirlwinds of tempestuous fire, he soon discerns; and, weltering by his side, one next himself in power and next in crime, long after known at the ESP Institute, and named Koehler. If he whom mutual league, united thoughts and counsels, equal hope and hazard in the glorious enterprise joined with me once, now misery hath joined in equal ruin; into what pit thou seest from what height fallen: so much the stronger proved he with his thunder; and till then who knew the force of those dire arms. Farewell, happy fields, where joy for ever dwells! Hail, 'The Grand Illusion', receive thy new possessor — one who brings a mind not to be changed by place or time. These two songs will sit you dove-like brooding on the vast abyss.

Our Starry Universe is an independent record label from Brooklyn. It was the obvious progression of three veteran New York DJs, producers and avid record collectors as an outlet for their musical projects.
The label is about music for inspiration and relaxation whether you are on the beach or riding off into the sunset. With a fondness for studio magic, cool sounding synth lines, perfectly unquantized machine drums and reverberated warmth are celebrated. The music is uplifting with sublime synth melodies and reverberated tones.

A Separate Reality is the collaborative vision of NYC producers Nick Chacona and Tim Wagner. Nick has released on 20/20 Vison, Hector Works and Moodmusic, while TV and film composer Tim Wagner has worked with 33HZ and is the producer of Amy Douglas Solo Recordings, including the monster ‘Never Saw It Coming’ on DFA. Along with Amy Douglas, Nick and Tim were also members of Sunrise Highway, having released on Tensnakes True Romance.

Following on from the well received ‘Everywhere You Look’, which made the rounds in Ibiza and New York last year and was in high demand due to its very limited run, A Separate Reality deliver this maxi EP with a title that is slightly tongue in cheek, but is also on the money. It’s a record about the meeting of technology and spirituality. A meeting where you don’t really know what is going to happen, you only know the possibilities.

These six tracks are a journey into a world where Psyche-tinged Cosmic beats flirt with sparkling Electronica and Chug. Like the soundtrack to a surf movie playing over in your mind, it’s a sonic realization bursting with sunny synth sounds and full of good vibrations.
