BONUS TRACK +++ Mme Chugarr & Chöko Aba - Distance (Moon's Voyager Rethink)

get it here: https://lnk.to/Rampue-BubblebathTrance-ATribeCalledKotori

This long-awaited project from A Tribe Called Kotori marks the collective's first full-length venture, featuring the immensely talented Rampue. Known for his phantasmagorical soundscapes, Rampue navigates the realms of electronica, abstract music, and balearic-infused progressive house with exceptional mastery. Based in Berlin, this virtuoso manages to mesmerize and elevate listeners through twelve extraordinary tracks, forming the foundation of this resplendently textured sonic journey. His compositions oscillate between understated euphoria and riveting exoticism, reflecting his prowess in evoking contrasting emotions through his music.

The creative journey leading to the birth of 'Bubblebath Trance' is a tale of irony and serenity intertwined. As Rampue recalls, "It all started and ended in the same moment: my cherished feline companion, my laptop awash with an unintended bath, and alas, a dearth of backups." This unfortunate series of events led to an outcome echoing a kind of chaotic tranquility. This serenity, born from stepping into a bubbling primitive chaos, permeates throughout the album, enriching the overall listening experience.

Rampue's debut album subtly imitates the "euphonious strains" of iconic PlayStation 1 video game soundtracks from his youth. The music sweeps listeners into a paradoxical emotional experience—imbued with nostalgia, yet vibrant and dynamic. It’s as though listeners are offered a bird's eye view of the world below, allowing them to rise slowly through the atmosphere's layers towards uncharted territories.

Rampue’s artistic mastery shines in ‘Harmonie,’ a true paragon of his unique take on classic electronica. The track radiates a poetic flame, consuming and transforming all within its reach. Picture yourself riding a chocobo across the sandy expanses of North Corel while this composition echoes in the distance. It paints a vivid scene for Final Fantasy VII aficionados.

The album embraces a rich variety of musical hues and subtleties. From the brass-heavy coastal jazz influences in 'Schattenschranz', to the chopped-up, trip-hop-adjacent electronics in 'Inside', Rampue demonstrates his ability to shape-shift across genres. Other tracks like the joyously chaotic 'Tripomatic', and 'Ich hasse Sonne', with its cinematic flair, contribute to the diverse soundscape.

The album’s eponymous track, 'Bubblebath Trance', is a piece both exuberant and deeply moving. It could well serve as the album’s centerpiece—a lucid dream of dancing shapes, colors, and sentiments to envelop your consciousness. It elegantly drifts from a liminal state of awareness into the rapids of one's inner turmoil, offering a mirror into the artist's inner world.

To round off this musical odyssey, the tranquil ambient tones of 'Die Leiden des hungrigen Fruehstuecks' seal the album with a stamp of affirmation. 'Bubblebath Trance' emerges as a rare class of albums—one that creates its own lexicon apart from the usual norms and expectations. It educates the listener with its new language, weaving through their ears, challenging the boundaries between the real and unreal.

This album exists as an ethereal object, withholding its secrets even after countless listens and awe-inspiring moments. It's an ever-evolving musical enigma, with its meaning and interpretation left to the listener's perception. It resists being confined to any singular definition, instead unfolding in real-time to the rhythm of the listener's heart and mind. The release date is set for August 25, 2023, and is sure to be a milestone in Rampue's career and for A Tribe Called Kotori.

A Good Friend Is Hard To Find (This Other Place Blues Edit by Andara)

Howdy bird watchers!

By now you might know the drill.
The songs are free, but you need to take them all!

This time, we got a mixed selection of a remix, an original, a cover, an edit, what-have-you... Crazy, right?
And all that for a smile and your attention.

We packed together Gunilla, who made a beautiful interpretation of Koze's Drone Me Up Flashy, MAUGLI with an original composition that makes your bum-bum go loco, Do You Love Me in a Trap-like reimagination by Echoel feat. Di.Aria and finally a psychedelic, time-dilating edit of Omega's inexpressible Gyönyhajú lány, thought of by Severin Onderka.
A rich and healthy snack, with all the nutrients you need for this upcoming time of dirty weather and low temperatures.

Enough weird words, now go off, enjoy your free music and tell your friends, to tell their friends, to be our friends.

Peace out & love in!

Umeko Ando’s “Ihunke” hits right in the heart. This summer, we received enthusiastic responses to the “Ihunke” vinyl re-issue from all over the planet. So we invited a group of great international producers to remix the repetitive, mantric vibes of Umeko Ando’s Ainu folklore songs. It comes as a vinyl EP with six remixes and as an 11-track digital package.

Umeko Ando - Atuy So Kata (RLHBSLCN Remix)

My fingers burn in the breakdown
This part of everything behind me
I fade into off the headlights
Crushing every feeling that's in me

These walls you've built never come down
One's a crowded number when you're one
Lights flicker still in your eyes
All across the ground I own

You hear things that you can't see
Echoes on and off
Thoughts spinning out of me
Watch the ripples forming.

Time never leaves until it's over
Shadow falling never stay
Deep treble lights that they cover
Softly slipping down my face

You hear things that you can't see
Echoes on and off
Thoughts spinning out of me
Watch the ripples forming.

I'm walking on fire...
I'm walking on fire...

Time's never still in my mind
Stay where I belong in your fumes
I'm pushing back deeper lies
Still wait, open to you

You hear things that you can't see
Echoes on and off
Thoughts spinning out of me
Watch the ripples forming.

I'm walking on fire...
