Cry Cry Cry

For me, this DJ set was all about doing a deep dive into sound and exploring various releases of psychedelic dance music from some of my favorite labels. I hope you enjoy these Late Night Edition vibes, and have some memorable sonic discoveries of your own. The vast majority of these productions are 2021 releases and I believe showcase a very fresh, distinctive, and modern psychedelic Forest/Night-Psy sound.
A warm thank you 🙏 my friends for all of your continued support, and for listening. Together we are strong. Setlist and buy link details below ⬇︎

And as always, a deep gratitude for all of the immensely talented artists showcased here in my mix.

HARDKISS

########### Intercepted Admirals Transmission#########
Commander Fullyard was cruising through the Peep Durple system when the voice of Admiral Krank came in over the radio. It had to be done. One Colonel Hardy had turned renegade, establishing his own fiefdom among the Simmippians. According to the highly classified intelligence wire, Hardy had committed the highest crimes against groove, outlawing shuffle beats of all kinds and limiting musical expression to tonedeaf folk music. 

And now the swampy assignment: Operation Mango Wood. Hardy must be brought to justice or eliminated immediately. Was there any way out of it? Were there not several other officers capable of carrying it out? Didn’t Krank owe him a favor or two? Did the Commander need to remind the Admiral of how he came to his rescue in Operation Bass Guitar Part Rearrangement? Nothing doing. These orders came directly from Her Majesty Herself. She wanted- nay, demanded- that Commander Fullyard do the job. 


##########################
I thank the Admiral for this opportunity! I, Cmd. Fullyard, fully obeying his will from now on, accepted the new supreme command in regards to any further additional space missions satisfying the highly royal needs of her Majesty! May she survive us all and may her burial chamber-like sten... ermmm sme... errrrmmmmm ..... FRAGRANCE never dissipate!

#########################

(Operation) Mango Wood

Its hot and wet in the jungle, tonight
Laser axe hummin', red glowing, ready to bite

Mango Woood, Mango Wooood, Mango Woooooooooooood

A royal spacesuit soaked and boiling
Swampy assignment, highly annoying

Mango Woood, Mango Wooood, Mango Woooooooooooood


##################

This one was a real journey and along with the other collab i did with the mighty @texmex-shaman. The Admiral (@user-766619428) sent me the base and groovy drum pattern long long ago, early 2021, and it took quite some time to find the initial spark to go mad, but then it was a real blast. Kinda started sampling the whole thing and deformed it into something i never thought it would sound like. Recorded some stuff in the flat  (little child drum, etc.) and refined some axe-chops from our woodwork session early in 2021 along with some VOX and other little space pixie dust, b3 vst and synths. Later on he added the amazing guitars and additional fx - me finally trying to squeeze everything into the mix. Thank you so much for doing this with me. I hope this will be not the last one!

I also want to give credit to my parents in law and my love, which were so supportive in finding the right place for the shoot and helping me with my artistic vision to come true. This was quite a wild ride and it couldn't have been done all by myself! (That little forest fishpond was cold af... haha)

Thanks for the community for all that support and wonderful comments and reposts, likes and such. We are a real great "family" and i am glad to have you all!

Cheers,
CMD. SF

Album 1981 - in the right order:
https://soundcloud.com/steve-fullyard/sets/1981a


This is the story of a man, which is probably in his prime, or on his way there, being totally drawn towards electronic music and synthesizers. 

In a state where he is highly working on his physical and mental skills and trying to pretty much live at fullest in the present day, there is still this longing back for and into the 80s, influencing his actions ...

One fateful day, there is this one paper ad, this one thing, which changes ... everything!

Enjoy this audio-visual journey into another world, and time.
HQ Version can be bought directly on Bandcamp.

Shabboo Harper - Nobody Else (Original Mix)

bird.beat

A recent astronomical event was, quite obviously, at the root of this odd musical piece. I accidentally came across a few posts on the social networks conveying a certain degree of confidence in this astrological occurrence, but I honestly couldn't afford to share their flaunted optimism. I couldn't recall any idyllic connection between Jupiter and Saturn, so I thought that a recording of an acapella singing performed by my wife about 10 years ago might have best fit my initial sonic atmosphere. It was an improvised sung rendition of an Arabic poem composed by Said Bin Ahmad al-Busaidi (d. 1803, feel free to check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Said_bin_Ahmad for a short bio) that seems to have been used as lyrics by several modern Middle Eastern artists. I thought of it as a suitable fictional outlet for a broken hearted Saturn.
On the other hand, my everyday life subsequently offered me a chance to observe this "great" conjunction from a socio-political perspective in the country where I'm living in. I had the opportunity to take a field audio recording of a riot that took place not so far from my home in mid-January (feel free to check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dI90RFsEF4 for a short account of the current situation), and I thought that it would perfectly give expression both to the disappointment of local people against those who have been managing political power since the so-called Arab Spring in 2011 and to the sympathetic, balanced reaction shown by law enforcement and the government itself. In order to sound politically correct, I thought it was appropriate to give voice to the establishment as well, to "Jupiter" if you like, so I googled around and found an awesome video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJVq78A4Y0) starring the guy who's been behind the scenes of this brilliant democratic experience in Northern Africa during the last 10 years. I extrapolated a few audio samples from his declarations and used them in the first sequence of this piece.
I finally added a few instrumental and vocal parts, then I processed all of the audio recordings through a heavy, meticulous sound design work. Hope you'll appreciate the result.
EDIT: One year after its original release, I created a video for this track… You might like to check it out at https://youtu.be/0c9fyvCDqiU

LYRICS (a partial rework of Said Bin Ahmad al-Busaidi's "Ya Man Hawah" ; sadly this text field doesn't seem to properly support RTL scripts, but I guess most of the listeners will only read the English translation I provided below):

JUPITER:

We try to avoid any sort of exclusion.
We opt for the dialogue... Consensus.
We faced many problems.
All our policies are based on the notion of consensus.
I don't deal with "if", I deal with reality.
We try to go to the consensus.
There isn't any paradox.
To avoid any sort of extremism, democracy is the solution.
We need international cooperation, regime cooperation, development, democracy, dialogue, consensus... Consensus.

SATURN:

يا من هواه
أعزه وأذلنـــي
كيف السبيل إلى وصالـــــك دلني
أنت الذي حلفتني
حلفتني وحلفت لي
وحلفت أنك لا تخون وخنتني
فلأدعين عليك في غسق الدجى
يـبـلـيـك ربي كـمــا أبلـيـتـنــي

Oh you who love
Oh you who passionately love
May you be cherished and may I be humbled
Show me how shall I ever find the way to get back to you
It was you who made me swear, and you swore to me
You swore you weren't going to betray me, but you cheated on me
So I'll pray against you in the dark of the night
May the Lord afflict you just like you afflicted me

UroboroSoroborU (Part The Veil)

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
