Y Bülbül follows his kaleidoscopic 'Fever' LP with a double dose of avant-pop mixed with spiritual awareness recorded in collaboration with award winning film maker Rose Glass.

Turkish-born, London-based musician and producer, Y (for Yiğit) Bülbül,  crafts his own contemporary avant-garde pop projections with a rich musical heritage shining through from the 1980s and 90s, creating colourful, trippy yet joyous music.

The BAFTA nominee and BIFA winner writer/director of 'Saint Maud', Rose Glass, features on spoken word, contributing to the "spiritually heightened" yet frivolous sensibility of the song.  This collaboration with Rose also led to a special and equally frivolous video, due to be shared on the day of release. 

Backed by "Confusion Dub", "Aspiration Nation" is taken from a private press, ultra limited lathe cut 7". Due for release later this week, housed in  hand-made, watercolour painted sleeves and limited to only 41 copies. Both songs will be available digitally too.



Bülbül himself describes the song as "a right laugh, the track itself and the video too (also out on 6th Aug - watch out!) - bountiful blessings to Rose Glass for teaming up with me on this one. Surrender yourself to Rose's sublime narration and let the magic rinse you inside-out and remember: When said' 41 times, a ‘Mashallah’ is guaranteed to bring good luck and fortune to the intended... Mashallah to this inter-disciplinary and inter-planetary collaboration."

Antipodean Anomalies 2 is Left Ear Records' most ambitious project to date, a compilation that took over 4 years to license and includes 17 artists across a double LP. AA2 picks up where the first iteration left off, with co-compilers Chris Bonato and& Bridget Small continuing to dig through the music of the geographically isolating and maverick landscapes of Australia and& New Zealand.

As with the first iteration, Left Ear continues its to excavation ofe the music from these vast micro-scenes that evolved out of a number of small community-focused domains, creating their own unique reinterpretation of musical influences from near and far, spanning the years 1980 – 1992.

The compilation scopes an overlooked epoch from Adelaide, presenting acts such as the DNA Lounge, TCH & Will Kuiper. A close-knit community of like-minded mates that made distinctive electronic music together throughout the 80’s, all of which remained unreleased until now. Holbrook Buchanan capture the ambiance of Perth’s heat prodded afternoon’s perfectly with their track Hunger, a breezy 9-minute minimal-jazz jam that includes kalimba, water samples & conga. Furthermore, artists like David Watson & Colin Offord use samplers and handmade instruments to offer a more abrasive and experimental aesthetic.

To round out the compilation, artists such as Jane Stevenson, discovered a 7” at an op-shop and found the needle stuck on the word, ‘Aloha’. Using tape loops, she chose to highlight imperfections rather than hide them and in unison managed to cross boundaries of time; the 60s (album voice) and the 80s (my voice), of location; Hawaii and Australia, and of language; “Aloha and Hi”. This ethos echoes the compilation's vision, to champion artists that implement impromptu creativity, and who have a desire to create regardless of their surroundings and resources. AA2 signs off with the Back to Back Zithers, drawing inspiration from the haiku poems of Basho. To illustrate this, Kari set a Kacapi improvisation to the backdrop of the cicada chorus of summertime in outer Melbourne.

Lost In Translation

Dreems is the solo project of Sydney DJ Angus Gruzman – a man who can fairly claim responsibility for inspiring kids towards the dance floor for over a decade. As Gus Da Hoodrat, he was a long-serving member of the Bang Gang party crew and he’s ensuring the good times continue with his involvement in the Motorik label and the regular parties they throw. 

His mix for i-D is the kind of journey that only someone with an impressively eclectic record collection could take you on. Angus describes it as a “mix that was made with a certain rug in mind (it knows who it is). There was no more than a chair and a packet of empty crisps on the rug that I was playing to that evening. It's an intimate mix formulated in my mind for the open space of your mind. It’s 100% vinyl, 100% vibe and 100% me on the Persian rugs.”
Rug up and listen in.

Dreems: Music To...Cut a Rug To

"Balearic Social make their first foray into the vinyl market with the otherworldly dancefloor genius of the mysterious and mystical Eirwud Mudwasser. Hailing from Bucharest, this sonic sorcerer calls on the sun, the moon and all four elements to summon a quartet of restless spirits to your turntable. Opening cut "Ziggurat" rolls in on a moonlit tide, bringing future primitive percussion, naive synth melodies and eerie pads to a distant shore. As those airy leadlines begin their astral projection, the rumbling bass and fizzing synth hold you down in the centre of the dancefloor. Now you're loosened up nicely, the limber rhythm of "Shivers" begins to work its hypnotic magic, putting you into a dancefloor trance with tribal polyrhythm and rattling percussion while ? instructs you in the fine art of transmutation. As the horror veteran peaks, the track breaks out into a killer voodoo groove topped with island melodies and echo drenched vamps - undeniable dancefloor magic! Eirwud keeps things nice and psychedelic on the flip, conjuring "Caldafar" out of the early morning mists in a shimmering swirl of chilly vibes, percolating sequences and deep bass chug.It's Dense, exotic and totally trippy. Last but not least, "Spirala" harnesses the power cosmic, beaming out pulsing radio waves and stellar melodies over a mogadon-paced zero gravity beat."
