Commencing the 10th anniversary celebrations with a free compilation entitled Erased Tapes Collection VIII, Erased Tapes also welcomes the iconic Penguin Cafe to the roster amongst tracks from new signing Daniel Brandt (of Brandt Brauer Frick) and Peter Broderick’s duo project Allred & Broderick. It also includes recent compositions by Rival Consoles, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Ben Lukas Boysen, Douglas Dare and Immix Ensemble & Vessel, as well as a previously unreleased soundcloud.com/ryan-davis remix of Erased Tapes stalwarts Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm which was recently favoured by Aphex Twin and an exclusive edit of Woodkid & Nils Frahm’s score for JR’s Ellis, with spoken words by Robert De Niro.

The Story before: 

When i heard the Album Trance Frendz of Olafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm for the first time, i directly felt a connection to the song they both started together at 00:26. The fine textures of the synths and the subtle evolution in this one-taker brought up the idea of having a version i can play in the late nights on the dance floor but which also would work perfectly for listening in your comfort zone. 

The drums and way of how the remix should flow came naturally and as i had the song standing i layered the original stems here and there to have the track playing in some kind of canon. As i was very happy with my personal version i sent it out to https://soundcloud.com/olafur-arnalds, https://soundcloud.com/erasedtapes & the rest of the participants of this project. Gladly Olafur picked up my remix and forwarded the song to the label which lead to having this unofficial version approved to share with you out there. I hope you like it and thanks to Erased Tapes and all involved for the support :)

Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm - 00:26 (Ryan Davis Rethink)

universal_love

"The overall concept of BLK Muzak was to combine a beat maker aesthetic to a historical and political landscape of afrofuturism. I wanted BLK Muzak to be a conversation with our iconic symbolism. The symbols that have always sustained marginalized people and those that are at the very heart of black music." - Ra of Mourning [A] BLKStar

Creating songs of both eulogy and revolution, the expansion of 21st century black consciousness is felt in waves through Ohio's Mourning [A] BLKStar. A force that has deep conviction, purpose, and weight, songs are voiced through the lens of chopped up drum grooves, stark melodies, and historic sample pulls. Afrofuturism is felt in paramount form within the group, scheduled to give the world their sophomore LP BLK Muzak (Glue Moon Records) July 14th, 2017. The album will land on LP and digital formats, followed by select touring in their region. Mourning [A] BLKStar is bringing forth a conversation that aligns with the political and emotional state of this world, drawing together modern day spirituals of reverence and despair.

Formed behind the vision of group leader Ra Washington, BLK Muzak paints a vivid picture of the complexities surrounding the human condition. A survey of life is distilled through the fabric of the album's soul, encompassing themes such as spiritual ascension, structural counter balances in society, diverse communal values, the unchaining of the spirit, love for self, and revolution. Every word and lyric is galvanized into the diaspora of 21st century African-American culture, serving as both a force of light and a schematic to survival and independence.

Taking on influences as wide ranging as Eddie Gale's late '60s spiritual jazz opus Ghetto Music and the world-renowned works of poet, playwright and essayist June Jordan, BLK Muzak is life through sound. With the group comprising vocalists LaToya Kent, Kyle Kidd, and James Longs, a full spectrum of knowledge and harmony is offered. Scintillating vocal runs spiral over smoldering synth bass and hard hitting snares and kicks. An arena where the presence of a Dead Prez and a Gil Scott-Heren are pulled into the same tapestry of culture. The name of the group finds a shared passageway to multiple worlds and reflects the importance of the music, showing honor and acknowledgement to the lives that've died at the hands of police, along with the beauty and expressive legacy of African-American artistry.

When looking at the roads that led to the creation of BLK Muzak, it's important to understand the history of the group. Group leader Ra Washington plots out the following timeline, "It was originally just me doing what I've been up to for more than a decade: make a batch of beats and record over them. But this time I wanted some different voices around me, so I invited LaToya Kent, who I've known since high school, and James Longs who I've known for at least five years. We recorded twenty songs and then after listening back to the roughs, we decided that maybe this could be a band. We enlisted a jazz singer named Kyle Kidd and went back to the studio and recorded eleven more and from that we put together BLK Muzak. I think for me it was a real reflective time. One of my best friends had been murdered and I was kind of floundering in making. I didn't know if I should keep going because it hadn't been that much distro of the projects and I felt like maybe the idea of making a living as an artist was a misnomer. LaToya was itching to record and James had never done it professionally with original content. So I think we were all looking for a spark but we didn't want to just make something, we wanted it to be impactful and original."

BLK Muzak will be available July 14, 2017 on Glue Moon Records and will be offered on vinyl and digital platforms.

Though beats and fuzzy hip-hop instrumentals may be all the rage, jitwam (apparently from Manipur, but currently based in Brooklyn?) offers something more out of the box with his original slow-motion funk, dusty soul and cassette-spun R&B.

Recent features include Moodymann’s inaugral mix for DJ-Kicks, radio support from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC), collaborations with Inkswel and Paul White (MCDE, R&S), and live shows played at the now legendary Low End Theory parties in L.A and with Yuusef Kamaal (Brownswood).

"Scrimshire's edits are synonymous with our imprint, and every one has been of the highest quality, often hand-picking the more obscure works you never knew you loved, from some of your favourite soul voices.

And as we turn 21 (release-wise) he pulls it out of the bag once again, rework Chaka's string-laiden "Some Love" into a monstrous dance-floor destroyer; adding some serious sliced and diced funk chops to Merry Clayton's percussion heavy version of "Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow"; and finally, subtly and tastefully turning McNeal + Niles' rare slow and soulful treat, "Summertime Love" into a late night Balearic beauty.

The perfect summer soundtrack and another sure-fire Dubplate winner!" -Wah Wah 45s

Having enjoyed the swell of love for their 'Absent Without Thoughts' track, from the All Day I Dream 'Summer Sampler', label boss Lee Burridge once again teams up with Lost Desert for a new release on Get
Weird.
Aimed squarely at the dancefloor, their new three track salvo opens with the title cut 'K Bug'. 
A steam train of a track it slowly gathers pace as it moves forward. It's chugging groove and fat bassline have been whipping crowds into frenzies when played by the pair and now its ready to be unleashed for all.
Backing it up is 'Hinduma'. A track that's known to cause the mouth to contort when mouthing out the wonky synth line. Resistance is futile.
Closing out the EP is 'Reply To Sender’, a slow burner with a trippy ethnic melody and a drop that goes all mystical.

Kiasmos mark their return in 2017 with a new 12” EP titled Blurred — available worldwide on October 6th via Erased Tapes.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever.

Words from Ólafur and Janus, August 2017: 
￼ 
￼￼“To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to ￼write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” — Janus Rasmussen

￼“Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” — Ólafur Arnalds

￼The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms.

The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD.

This is a rework over one of my all time favourite artists Nina Simone.

|||| Lyrics ||||

Come ye ye who would have peace 
Hear me what I say now 
I say come ye ye who would have peace 
It's time to learn how to pray 

I say come ye ye who have no fear 
What tomorrow brings child 
Start praying for a better world 
Or peace and all good things 

I say come ye ye who still have hope 
That we can still survive now 
Let's work together as we should 
And fight to stay alive 

I say come ye ye who would have love 
It's time to take a stand 
Don't mind abuse it must be paid 
For the love of your fellow man 

I say come ye come ye 
Who would have hope 
Who would have hope 
Who would have hope 
Who would have hope

A fixture on the San Francisco dance music scene for the past decade, Jackie House, is the alter-ego of Jacob Sperber, one of the founding members of Honey Soundsystem. Jackie House  contributed to LAGASTA’s compilation Vol. 8 his killer epic edit of Don Ray’s 1978 classic track “Got To Have Loving” that clocks in at 10-minutes. (He started working on this, right after he heard Horse Meat Disco's Luke Howard play it in Croatia last summer). It’s great disco ride from start to finish! Absolute fire.
LAGASTA’s annual “Late Summer” compilation series turns 8 this year! Features lots of exclusive tracks, including Cooper Saver’s brand-new remix for Perel, previously unreleased edits from Balako, Joutro Mundo and Jackie House, Harrison BDP’s sublime new track “Standing In The Rain” and Earth Boys’ remix for their own tune “Put Me On”. It also includes much-loved gems available as a free download for the first time, featuring Man Power, Palmbomen II, Seb Wildblood, Keita Sano, Antenna, Carrot Green & Selvagem, and E Ruscha V.

Diboujone - Why To Compare

Originally released on Shapes Of Rhythm (@shapesofrhythm) in 2017 as a part of his "Southern Uplands" EP, Octo Champ (@octochamp)'s Lacuna gets the remix treatment from Germany's David Hanke. While the original was more on an start-of-the-night Disco-House tip, this flip is a tad deeper with added keys and synths to also appease the fully electronic heads. Best known as his Renegades Of Jazz (@renegadesofjazz) alias, David Hanke has been in the music game for longer than most. With over 100 remixes to his name, his skills in re-crafting tracks to fit on a floor is almost second nature!

Shapes Of Rhythm have been kind enough to give this one away as a Free Download, so take it and spin it!

SF Bay Area's TRKRNR (Track Runner) team up with Trailer Limon (one half of SF's The Pendletons) to create two insta-classics for the dance floor and the bedrooms. 

The A side, Stimulate, a a playfull sex-funk exploration that will elevate dance floors and get pulses racing, while on the flip is "No Summer Days", a smooth, vibey Sade-esque track. This record definitely showcases TRKRNR and Limon's love for creating classic sounding songs that would be at home played back to back with Rick James or Blondie. 

TRKRNR (Track Runner) based in Richmond, California, is comprised of childhood friends Saul Vallens (Allen Valenzuela) & multi-instrumentalist and singer Gyrefunk (Vincent Czekus). The two musicians and dancers, who grew up together in San Jose, Ca., draw on deep backgrounds of house, hip hop, rock and pop to create a future facing, genre-busting sound that is both soulful and highly danceable. Employing everything from kalimbas, djembes, synthesizers, guitars, bass and basically anything they can get their hands on, the two continue to turn out friendly, crowd pleasing music that is modern yet classic. They are at home making four on the floor bangers as they are making psychadelic beat pop, dreamy lounge and tightly produced hip hop.
