The Ordeal

From its modest beginnings, the Swiss label Creaked has carved out a unique, colorful, adventurous and independent path of its own in the music world, appealing to both music fans and Djs with its eclectic sounds and textures. Growing international networks and community from Vevey to Manchester and Berlin to San Francisco, the imprint was first launched in Lausanne during the summer of 2004 before moving its office and headquarters to Biel/Bienne in 2018. Over two decades, surviving musical evolution and seismic industry shifts without losing its main position to support electronic music from experimental avant-pop to club sounds and beyond, the label keeps helping define the development of genres by unveiling records from newcomers to established artists. 

To mark its 20th anniversary, Creaked announces the release of "Music Falls into a Mysterious Void", a compilation bringing twenty new and exclusive gems, ten original cuts and ten remixes of emblematic tracks taken off its back-catalog that shaped the label's history with its artistry roster from the early days to the present. Freshly joined by the two brand new signings Nic as Well and Olive T, current artists such as Owelle and Inuit Pagoda rub shoulders with old pals like Larytta, Mochipet, Julien Aubert, My Panda Shall Fly and the late and greatly missed Bloodysnowman. 

With tracks including the dubby-slow-dance reinterpretation of Consor's ‘Monoski’ (2006) by Torchon & Ganj, the gorgeous IDM journey ‘Know Better, Do Better’ by Hrdvsion, the Me&Mobi’s post-electronica surgical cover of ‘Thot’ by Gaspard de La Montagne and the psychedelic-drone-ambient ‘Hamada’ by Al-Sarwib, this celebratory release encompasses a broad and stylistic range of the label's output. 

Highlights of the compilation contain Baltimore mastermind The Soft Pink Truth's rework of 2010’s ‘All Men Must Die’ by Sutekh, Bristol artist Galtier with his slamming remix of ‘Stride’ by Isolated Lines, ‘Who Took This Base Out?’ by Zürich geek minimal techno producer Cosili and pop wave hero Buvette's remix of ‘Clair de Lune’ by Los Orioles. 

While UK artists Ikonika appears with her infectious remix of Oy's ‘First Box Then Walk’ and Elsa Hewitt transforms Verveine's ‘Veine R #1’ into a subtle and delicate version, Parisian hybrid house genius Sunareht rounds off the ceremony with his majestic remix of Scarlett’s ‘Give Up’. 

Mastered by Samuel Vaney and art designed by Monokini, this selection of tracks is way more than just a compilation— this is 20 years of music activities, all packed together in one. Creaked’s tale is the slow rise of a real indie record label with multiple sounds and a wide roster from the ground up, learning through error and success, listening and always adapting without becoming jaded or losing its passion. With "Music Falls into a Mysterious Void", the label showcases its forward-thinking vitality through looking behind and braving into the future.

PREMIERE || Cash From Hash - 2000 [NEHZA XXIII]

Stepping out of the frying pan and into the fire, eatmybeat welcome Belgian producer D-Nite to the label. He brings the heat on his latest release after previous drops on signature labels such as Erbium Records, Fine Grains and excess. This five track EP titled “Ai Amor EP” explores a variety of styles including UK Funky, Bass and a unique take on drum-driven Techno. The Liège based artist displays his production prowess with immaculate synth design and ethereal soundscapes.

We open with ”Ominous Arrival”, which as the name suggests, lures you into its depths with ghostly vocals and succulent melodies. You won’t be misled when the drums kick in and set the fist-pumping club energy, which carries throughout the EP. “Sine DNA” is the natural progression, introducing synth patterns and pads which sound like they originated off-planet, with the drums still packing that oomph. “Circular” begins to lean into the techno side of D-Nite’s musical expression, while still building from the previous tracks with new tastes and textures. The hypnotic synth lines weave in and out as the bass goes deeper…

The vibe switches as we move onto “Ai Amor”, tempting the tastebuds with its tantalising UK funky tones, whilst experimenting with bongo patterns galore – this one’s punchy but sweet, like grapefruit. Finally, the project wraps up with “Amargo” which brings all the previous tracks together in a crescendo of synth stabs, bleeps, and rolling drums.

The “Ai Amor EP” drops on April 17th on the eatmybeat Bandcamp page & JunoDownload and all other digital retail platforms on May 1st. Keep it locked!

Release Info :

Sankt - Canopy Drift [Crux Axul]

Sankt’s first full-length album Canopy Drift hones in on previous genre experimentations and offers multiple compelling configurations of ambient, fuzzed-out breaks, IDM and warped electro.

Washes of birdsong, bleeps and hyaline drones interweave on Eosphoros, the album's opener, laying the ground for the serpentine Underglow, on which a creeping hum of a rhythm is bolstered by snarling bass jolts.

Wryl is where the album really takes up speed, its forward momentum adorned by fractured voice snippets and scuttling high-hats. The tempo is then upped again by Xerosere with its fuzzed-out pads and meticulous breakbeats, before the melancholic Floaters throws a bit of a curveball with crunchy and blown-out 90s electro, broken up by playful glitches and drop-outs.

On Parhelion, a concise exercise in elegiac splendor, bell-like plucks float through the spectrum as the record finds a brief resting place. In contrast, the dubby title track morphs wet sounds and pulsating textures to erratic ends, just as Pfund Dub reframes UK Garage-y shuffles in a minimalist, yet blown-out fashion.

Filtered pads usher in Creeping Nightshade, in which levee-breaking drums relentlessly waltz onward in the company of heavily deconstructed whispers, industrial-sounding squelches and bass salvos.

Time-stretched and curling amen breaks return on the penultimate Peripheral Visions, which is interjected with hazy and sometimes somber organ chords. Noctilucent, the last of the three interconnected ambient pieces structuring Canopy Drift, closes the record out with recoiled piano reductions, as reverb tails droop off into the distance.
