It’s some four years since the release of Bison’s acclaimed debut single, “Way To LA”, the result of a series of productive
studio sessions between Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy, longtime collaborator Ben Smith, krautrock legend Holgar Czukay and
vocalist Ursula Major. Since then, Murphy and Smith have made a number of return trips to Can’s Innerspace Studio in
Cologne, where Czukay famously conjures his out-there musical magic.

The result is ‘Travellers’, the quartet’s long-promised debut album. It is, by anyone’s standards, a deliciously dubby and
intergalactic concoction; a fearlessly atmospheric blend of krautrock and dub disco-inspired grooves, delay-laden horns,
quirky percussion, stargazing electronics and eyes-wide-shut vocals. The dub influence is particularly notable given
Bison’s love of “versioning” tracks. Three of the tracks - “Way To LA”, “New Moon Boy”, and “Familiar Stranger” (the
latter two mixed by Conrad Idjut, who also turns the album’s title track into a clandestine, French-horn-laden late night
masterpiece) - appear in “Day” and “Night” versions. Meanwhile, previous single “Mandy” - a murky spaced-out stroll
though the collective Bison hivemind - is also included in two forms, with the Balearic stoner rock of the “Power Boy Mix”
offering a sun-kissed (but still deliciously atmospheric) reinterpretation.

Highlights are naturally plentiful, with Ursula Major’s half-spoken, half-whispered vocals wrapping themselves around
spacious rhythms, shuffling drums, twinkling, effects-laden guitars and low-slung basslines. ‘Travellers’ is an album rich
on other-worldly intent, sparse grooves and thick, enveloping production. It’s exactly the sort of album you’d expect from
musicians and producers of this calibre. We may have been waiting a while, but Bison have definitely delivered.

Familiar Stranger (Night)

Anna Domino joins Kenneth Bager & Findlay Brown on luminous art pop single 

‘Don’t Look Back (Eurydice)’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
The cult pop singer conjures a spectral drama from the track’s halcyon production, wreathing the warm pads and joyful strings in the cosmic myth of Eurydice and Orpheus.
 
‘Don’t Look Back (Eurydice)’ will feature on Bager’s collaborative album with singer-songwriter Findlay Brown, set to come out in 2025. Brown’s vocals feature on the track as well, merging with the gauzy threads of Domino’s voice.
 
The collaboration has its own musical wellspring. Domino’s synth pop of the 80’s is a particularly revered item in the Balearic canon, which Bager – the veteran dj, producer and compiler – has played his part in assembling.
 
Anna Domino says about the song:
 
“When I heard the music Kenneth sent me, it suggested the feeling of a really good high.
 
What the lyrics describe is the seductive dream that a drug can provide - the genuine joy at being in a beautiful place that just happens to be hell. The question becomes - how do you find your way back home from such a nightmare.
 
So it is a story about Eurydice and her decision to leave the underworld. She speaks to Orpheus of her fascination and fear of the place as she leads him through it.
 
When I was a child, I saw the movie Black Orpheus and it broke my small heart. The power of that film has never left me.”

The Swan And The Lake - Romances Jaune - s0853

Electronic artist Grassskirt makes his comeback with new single ‘Starry Night’, an atmospheric guitar-laden downtempo cruise that perfectly soundtracks the feeling of summer approaching.
 
‘Starry Night’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Grassskirt produces downtempo music with equal parts Balearic warmth and Scandinavian sophistication. Groovy feel-good beats with a penchant for the grand, cinematic motifs, created with a mix of acoustic and electronic elements.
 
Grassskirt, aka Jørn Kristensen, released the critically acclaimed album Hey Music Lover back in 2003 and has since focused on DJ’ing. Returning now to the Music For Dreams label, he is planning a second album, which is set to drop late 2025. ‘Starry Night’ is the first single from the album.

Я так хочу (Remix)

B. DreadMan (John Talabot's Dusty Edit)

Magpie (Morgan Geist Remix)

Joakim - Samurai (Meditation Tunnel Remix)

Jascha Hagen shows his tremendous feeling for soulful and groovy rhythms. 
'Heroin' is pure love and lets us think back to warm and cosy summer days. 
The ep contains four diverse remixes by Datastix, Who is That, Zoltan Solomon and E. Bergmann.


The orignial is a very smooth and sweet deephouse track which prepares us for the coming summer days. 
While Datastix deliver a chillstep remix the other three artists which are for the first time on Auditive Records 
keep it to the 4/4 rhythm but differing from each other. The Who is That remix shows a good feeling for deep and housy sounds. 
E. Bergmann's remix is chilly but danceable at the same time and Zoltan Solomons dubby techno version completes this extensive ep.
