It is one of Kusuma’s strong suits to produce tracks with a disco kit that go beyond the usual confines of the genre. Here’s a fine example of this. With latin percussion, arpeggios and several layers of melody, the robotic feel is still present but less so than on "Automatone". There's an element of darkness, as hinted by the track title, if they had discos in Tolkien’s universe, DJs would probably spin this.

Two years after the release of his acclaimed debut the “GONG 3000” EP on I’m a Cliché, Jakarta’s best kept secret is back on Cosmo Vitelli’s imprint with four terrific original tracks. Jonathan Kusuma is a producer who has managed in the space of a few releases and remixes to develop a signature sound which mostly relies on taking disco and EBM elements and putting them in new and unexpected contexts, offering us a glimpse of what modern dance music would sound like if house and techno had never existed.

Narcotic, hedonistic, abstract and particularly efficient on the dancefloor, Kusuma’s music is always about quality and never about quantity and so we are particularly thrilled to share with the world the four new tracks that constitute this EP.

A Few Things From Ivan Smagghe...

MOLTO MOLTO AMORE-IS EDIT

Craig Bratley has been carving out a distinct and somewhat peculiar discography since his debut release ‘Free Music’ landed in 2004. The foundations of his tracks are often weighty and driving, leaving the outer layers to go intricately wild.  

Andrew Weatherall stands tall among British dance music’s most prominent figures. He’s been killing it for decades, and shows no signs of stopping. ‘Play The Game (Andrew Weatheral remix)’ stretches the track out into a mesmerising, 10-minute masterpiece that goes both minimal and maximal as it traverses through spidery percussive lines and crashing guitar chords. Check it out below.

First on the scene is HLLW (pronounced as 'hollow') who churns out an organic drum'n'bass banger with eerie layers of odd vocal echoes and a gurgling bass rumble. 
Label boss Kenneth Bager himself sits down with the trio to rework the material into a dark brooding extended mix that could easily fit the soundtrack of a John Carpenter flick. 
Last up and fresh on the scene, Upping the tempo considerably the NYC duo of Bryan Mette and Justin Strauss (yes, THAT Justin Strauss!) dons their Whatever/Whatever mantle to flesh out the original into a much more hungry club creature, agile and warmer yet with that air of New York cool that really hits you on all levels.

Silent Riders - I See You (Whatever Whatever Remix)

In this first days of 2019 we have the fantastic new track from Discos Capablanca's Golpe De Estado - 'Liquido'...
When we say 'new' this is a track which has existed in some shape or form for a decade, a production from Hugo Capablanca and Oklo Gabon was reportedly rejected from a label for being too weird.  A decade on Marc Piñol heard the track, was blown away by it and asked Hugo to remix it.
The result is a shonky New York influenced lo intensity houser chock full of live instrumentation.  Bongos, sax, flute and freejazz which would not sound out of place in a Kenny Dope or Louie Vega set, think Nu Yorcian Soul remade in the Catalan and you are somewhere near close, but not close enough. 
Do yourself a favour, hit play melt away.

PREMIERE | Golpe De Estado - Liquido (Marc Piñol Remix) [Discos Capablanca] 2019

A year after the success of the first Princes Of Abzu أبزو موالي release, mystical Lyon based imprint Hard Fist comes back with a superb second volume that is once again dedicated to Arabic cultures. Like the first compilation, Vol. 2 gathers a strong cast of international artists from Russia, France, Turkey, Germany, Japan and Israel. All are united by a common passion for Middle- Eastern and North African sounds and are fascinated by the deep psychedelic effects of the melodies and the transcendental power of the rhythms. Trying to build cultural bridges across the world, powering connections between dance floor activists, Hard Fist thinks of Princes Of Abzu not only as a compilation but as a tool to give space for expression to local legends like Kaan Duzarat in Istanbul, or upcoming artists such as Linja or Feller who debut here on wax. Mekine U Teksi introduce the EP with a progressive but super intense track starting with ambient atmospheric synths which remind you of a night walk in the middle of the desert, before building the intensity in their Anatolian post-kraut universe. With the excellent ‘Sine’, Lyon based five-piece band AYMA collaborate with one of the most iconic producers in Istanbul, Kaan Duzarat, who owns the Analog Culture records store and together they cook up a magical Turkish house anthem. Written as a tribute to the cult Istanbul club of the same name, Japanese DJ Que Sakamato and his studio shadow NT offer a cerebral dark disco cut mixed with Oud samples and cosmic synths on ‘Minimüzikhol’ to great effect. Coming from the Ural Mountains in Siberia, the mysterious LINJA debuts here and delivers a breakbeat percussive banger, full of crazy weirdo FX, based on strong and raw acid basslines. To close this fine compilation, label debutant and edit master Feller delivers ‘Strange Night for Hassan’, a track built on a Darbuka solo played by the percussionist Nadav Dgon and deconstructed by the producer. Supported by strong kicks and rising acid lines, this cut is definitely the most intense of the lot. Princes Of Abzu is a hedonist movement that cares more about vibes and feelings than borders and nationalities and that is perfectly represented here again with this second offering in the series.

Over the last month, the music and events industry has entered unchartered territory due to the Covid-19 lockdown, and artists and online media have found themselves in a financially vulnerable position with much more time on their hands.

To help some of those artists, and provide Ransom Note with much-needed financial support, three weeks ago we reached out to some friends of the website with the challenge to make a track in collaboration with another producer, musician or vocalist, remotely, in 10 days. The result is ‘Pen Pals’: a compilation featuring 15 collaborations from 32 artists.

Due to the current situation we’ve increased royalties for all artists involved and, whilst the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions apply, accounting will be processed fortnightly. Profits from the compilation will also provide financial support for Ransom Note who have been heavily impacted by the halt of the events industry.

PREMIERE : Manfredas & Fantastic Twins - Gimme Pizza

Timothy Clerkin lands at Sprechen with an E.P. of depth charging chuggy acid units for the late night low slung sleazy fanatics, this slo-mo frenzy is for you.

War Wolf gets us off to a thumping start with war call style chants, panpipes (yes panpies!) and an twanging style bass line that sounds like a Jew's Harp made love to a 303. Serious one to file under 'acid-chug-ALFOS balearic-cosmic style shenanigans.

Acid Drive  does indeed drive at warp factor speed and is heavy on the acid! Peak time punching the air tackle that will surely tipple a few braincells over the edge.

Finishing things off is Tim's very won reprise remix of Night Giant's Bleak House cut..originally supposed to drop last year but held back for his debut E.P. Here he eases off the throttle of the original and goes in for something that wouldn't sound put of place during a sundown set in Croatia.

Vibes & Love from:

Nick Warren - "War WOLF IS A WINNER BABY!"

Flash Atkins - "On for The Guvnor...tracky, chuggy, head-mangling tackle for inner space and getting walloped to"

Michelle Manetti - "Acid Drive is super cool"

Jon Dasilva - "loving the Acid Drive..as always :)"

Andy Buchan - "War Wolf is a chuggy heavy hitter!"

INCOMING : Sascha Funke & Niklas Wandt  - Kreidekreis #MultiCulti

release date : 2020-11-03

Buy : https://multiculti.bandcamp.com/album/kreidekreis

Follow-up EP for Multi Culti from this Berlin duo merging sleek Krautrock influences, decades long production experience, jazz-percussion chops and funky German vocals. 

'Kometenschweif' will sound the most familiar to fans of Sascha Funke's club-ready tracks, with percussive and vocal flourishes from Niklas Wandt.  'Kreidekreis' takes the tempo down while ramping up the trippiness, a circular journey into funk bass, synth prog, and again, a percussion masterclass. Finally 'Weg Vom Leder' sounds like a lost Falco tune, brought up to date.

On the remix side, Alexander Arpeggio somehow manages to swing 'Kreidekreis' into a digital reggae slowburner, while Whodamanny turns Kometenschweif toward indie-kraut-wave bop.
