Unknown Artist - Lost My Pixie Mind

STABLO No. 9997 - A

Meet Vern, a talented DJ from Constanta, Romania, whose passion for electronic music was sparked by the hypnotic sound of live techno and trance sets. Although he had little connection to electronic music growing up, he quickly became fascinated by the energy and audiences at events like Kudos and Kristal Mamaia; events which helped turn him towards a path in electronic music. 

After experimenting with different genres, he settled on techno and tech-house, and began producing music that caught the attention of labels and audiences alike. With a focus on improving his sound and learning more technical skills, he continues to evolve as an artist, drawing inspiration from his favourite artists like Sublee, Sepp, and Nu Zau.

Premiere: B2 - Vern - Orizont [Micro Orbit]

Despite taking its name from a rather ludicrous imagined instrument, its been apparent from day dot that Lobster Theremin very much mean business. Since starting in the latter half of 2013 with Palms Trax's instantly beloved 'Equation' EP, Jimmy Asquith's label has churned out wax at a rate of knots. Whilst each release occupies its own stylistic niche, a 'Lobster Theremin sound' has gradually crystalised over time - with the label now recognised for its dusty interpolations of classic Midwestern American House and Techno.

Their latest release continues down this path, with Asquith once again unearthing a gem of an artist in the shape of London based newcomer, Ozel AB. His four track 'Crimes' EP starts with 'Sidestep To Your Left', a smokey cut that sultrily emerges from the mid-winter gloom. The press materials liken it to a, 'forum weirdo's reinterpretation of Moodymann's 'J.A.N' - which isn't far off the mark at all, given its ever so slightly off kilter Motor City throb. There's a slight distance about everything here too - from the detached insouciance of the sampled vocal, to the insistent yet softly lashing chords. With the EP's other three tracks continuing down the opaque trail blazed by the likes of Actress and his Werkdiscs cohorts, 'Crimes' is a collection that's deep, dark and imperfectly formed.

Arash & Quasar - Truth and Star - it’s electronic duo from Russia, two friends, DJs, collectors of rare vinyl records, musicians and painters.
Pavel Grachev @apollontelefax and Vitaly Zhulkov @vitalii_quasar.

The guys collaborate with such global labels as Hard Fist, Fauve Records, Calypso Records and Whypeopledance

Arash & Quasar also film interesting programs from their travels and tours called DIG LOTO, where the main characters go searching for rare old records with their best friend Vestax Handy Trax, and share musical treasures with people on their YouTube channel.

“Arash & Quasar was born out of pure pleasure, juggling pieces of different sounds. Basically, we take interesting records with oriental old forgotten music, find some really catchy elements and feel that something new and beautiful can come out of it if we put our own arrangements, synthesizers and drum machines on it. Perhaps this can be compared with how to make a collage of different clippings from a magazine. Only instead of pictures it's sounds.

Legowelt is nothing if not imaginative. 'Omnibus Babylon,' the latest EP from the veteran Dutch producer and synth maestro is said to be inspired by space odysseys and ancient mysticism. Although the full record won't arrive until late August via Clone West Coast Series, we were given the chance to debut the floaty melodics of "Golem Memory Bank" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Omnibus Babylon EP

Legowelt "Golem Memory Bank" [First Floor Premiere]

Strange things happen in strange settings under strange circumstances… or so we thought. This is a tale of trivial things happening to common people in ordinary circumstances, but to exceptional results, both for the music and the somewhat bizarre narrative it conveys. After all, everyone involved has a penchant for surrealism: Tessuto with his manifold militant personas and Mutado Pintado and his storytelling comic character. 
MFK is the type of Gesamtkunstwerk that allows for this poliphony, one that  encapsulates all the atmosphere in a salacious musical base and allows for rich reinterpretations, either it is us deciphering its lyrical content or a stalwart such as Virginia rewiring its rhythmic potence. 
Let's say you can consider this something for your mind, your body, your soul and your mom's.

PREMIERE : Tessuto Ft. Mutado Pintado - MFK (Virginia Remix)

Body Promise returns to the tape format with a 12 chapter missive from the Australian underground.  With this stellar survey of corporeally-minded music, they compile some of the most interesting mutations of modern dance music. ​Smooth Sensation marks the third and final installment in the Body Promise compilation series.  
 As the reels begin to spin, ​Fia Fiell​ (One Third of Jaala) builds to a textured wash of sound that eases the listener into the varied and exhilarating world this tape compiles. The leisurely, dubbed-out atmosphere of Low Flung​ and ​Freda & Jackson​'s contributions preface the bass-heavy boisterousness that both ​HED Ardennes ​(Fishing, Body Promise) and ​Letabruthaknow ​(aka Setwun)​ ​favour. Fishing's ​The Ghan​ opts for a hypnotic approach that slowly binds the listener in its spell until they realize it's time to flip over the tape.  
 Waterhouse​ collates broken filaments of sound into a fissured mirror,  reflecting odd visions and ghostly presences. ​Lou Karsh​'s electro transmission has a spacey, introspective edge that it shares with the dissociative acid ​Andy Garvey​ has programmed for her return to the label. Both ​Lucy Cliche​ and ​DJ Yoni​ (Holy Balm) have been working at the nexus of DIY production and unruly electronics for aeons, each contributing demented dancefloor directives that are shot through with personality. We close with ​Emily Glass​’ alien oddity, a pendulum that swings from shuddering intensity to eerie ambience until the tape stops spinning.

PREMIERE : Andy Garvey - Welcome To Infinity

Behind The Sun (Dub) is the track that gives you first glimpse at the sound palette of this first record on russian label "Potential Move". Unlike many tracks with 303 bassline widely known for being used as a warehouse weapon knocking bricks hard out the wall, this track shows that it can have a bright, dreamy and somewhat, a romantic take on the genre delivering it in a very unusual way. The bassline is being accompanied with a blissful, lush pad adding a bit chorus and delay to taste creates a very harmonic vibe where all the elements are perfectly coming in together. If you’re looking for a jam that would be a soundtrack to your bright moments, don’t look no further - this one will do the trick without a doubt. We’ll stop from here and let the music speak for itself. We hope you’ll enjoy this beautiful piece of music as much as we did.
