Let Love Rumpel (Part 2)

Springbrunne

Nicolas Jaar - John The Revelator (Sonar 2012 Live Edit)

It’s some four years since the release of Bison’s acclaimed debut single, “Way To LA”, the result of a series of productive
studio sessions between Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy, longtime collaborator Ben Smith, krautrock legend Holgar Czukay and
vocalist Ursula Major. Since then, Murphy and Smith have made a number of return trips to Can’s Innerspace Studio in
Cologne, where Czukay famously conjures his out-there musical magic.

The result is ‘Travellers’, the quartet’s long-promised debut album. It is, by anyone’s standards, a deliciously dubby and
intergalactic concoction; a fearlessly atmospheric blend of krautrock and dub disco-inspired grooves, delay-laden horns,
quirky percussion, stargazing electronics and eyes-wide-shut vocals. The dub influence is particularly notable given
Bison’s love of “versioning” tracks. Three of the tracks - “Way To LA”, “New Moon Boy”, and “Familiar Stranger” (the
latter two mixed by Conrad Idjut, who also turns the album’s title track into a clandestine, French-horn-laden late night
masterpiece) - appear in “Day” and “Night” versions. Meanwhile, previous single “Mandy” - a murky spaced-out stroll
though the collective Bison hivemind - is also included in two forms, with the Balearic stoner rock of the “Power Boy Mix”
offering a sun-kissed (but still deliciously atmospheric) reinterpretation.

Highlights are naturally plentiful, with Ursula Major’s half-spoken, half-whispered vocals wrapping themselves around
spacious rhythms, shuffling drums, twinkling, effects-laden guitars and low-slung basslines. ‘Travellers’ is an album rich
on other-worldly intent, sparse grooves and thick, enveloping production. It’s exactly the sort of album you’d expect from
musicians and producers of this calibre. We may have been waiting a while, but Bison have definitely delivered.

Familiar Stranger (Night)

The long anticipated follow up to Magik Cyrkles and Magik Sunrise comes Part One of Magik Sunset. 

With more than a year spent tracking down the artists and licensing the music both parts of Magik Sunset will be a fitting end to the Magik series that has seen Psychemagik unearth some incredible music.

Sunset picks up where Sunrise left off with another fine selection of tracks mainly released in extremely small numbers, sometimes only on private presses and only reaching specific parts of America and Europe. 

Should you be able to find the originals they would cost you thousands.

Both parts will be released on gatefold double LP's and Double CD + Digital.

Part One Tracklist:

Bobby Brown – My Hawaiian Home
Kathy Stack – Summer Wind
Mother Funk – Sunshine
Jack Adkins – American Sunset
Greg Sonnleitner – Misunderstood
Nathan Perkins Band – Soul Keepers
Crossection – Over Again
Majik – Take Me There (Psychemagik Edit)
Al-Dos Band – Doing Our Thing With Pride
Jake Hottell – Horizon 
The Electric Connection – Groovy
Gene Lawrence - After Sunrise
P'cock – Telephone Song
Terry Brooks & Strange – High Flyer

Psychemagik present Magik Sunset Part One - Mini Mix

It's no secret that we're big fans of Henrik Schwarz explorations into the classical realm, what with bringing you his Trialogue last year.

When news of an album on Sony Classical, we were obvously keen to hear it. Titled 'Instruments' the LP' main focus is on, you guessed it, the instruments themselves. "​I wanted to see whether this music still means anything when you take away all the synthetic sounds and the beats."​ An interesting approach, considering the more formal and tested approach electronic musicians take when presented with an orchestra.

Electronic artist Grassskirt makes his comeback with new single ‘Starry Night’, an atmospheric guitar-laden downtempo cruise that perfectly soundtracks the feeling of summer approaching.
 
‘Starry Night’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Grassskirt produces downtempo music with equal parts Balearic warmth and Scandinavian sophistication. Groovy feel-good beats with a penchant for the grand, cinematic motifs, created with a mix of acoustic and electronic elements.
 
Grassskirt, aka Jørn Kristensen, released the critically acclaimed album Hey Music Lover back in 2003 and has since focused on DJ’ing. Returning now to the Music For Dreams label, he is planning a second album, which is set to drop late 2025. ‘Starry Night’ is the first single from the album.

Grassskirt - Starry Night - s0894

NYC-via-London singer and producer Baba Ali builds a low-tempo house cut around an old school groove that harks back to Prince. Recently tipped by Gold Panda as his one to watch in 2017, Baba is a serious talent to keep an eye on.
