Kompakt unveils the third volume of Jörg Burger’s “Velvet Desert Music” compilation series, dedicated to music that hits the sweet spot between the cinematic, the (pop) ambient, and the psychedelic. With “Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3”, Burger and his friends wander afar, taking trips away from, or adjacent to, the dancefloor that’s acted so long as the crucible for the Kompakt aesthetic. Like its predecessors, it’s a gorgeous, lambent collection of late-night mood music.

Because it’s such a broad church, “Velvet Desert Music” admits all kinds of new experiences, as well, with Burger looking for music that “goes beyond the desert to explore different corners of the velvet universe”. Indeed, of all the volumes in the series, this third installment feels closest to an album made by a true collective. The roster has changed, with new contributors Flug 8 and Seb Martel, both with his trio Las Ondas Marteles and with Chocolate Genius and Zsela as La Finca, joining regulars The Novotones, Mount Obsidian, The Golden Bug, Paulor and Sascha Funke.

Burger himself shows up alongside Fritz Ackermann of The Novotones and Max Würden and Thore Pfeiffer, in The Velvet Circle. Their contributions are pure lush life electronica: “Our Tribe” hitches a ride with a low-slung groove, flickering psychedelic reels of acoustic guitar traipsing across moody bass and taffeta layers of drone; their opening remix of Flug 8’s “Puerto Rico” gently introduces the album with softly tangling electronic tones, while guitars, drenched in reverb, pirouette in the background. Mount Obsidian’s remix of Burger´s The Black Frame “Sacrosanct” spins around the listeners ears like a kaleidoscope catching the reflections the sun makes in San Luis Potosí’s ornately decorated churches.

La Finca’s electronics and voice miniature, “What Clouds Say”, is a masterclass in poetic restraint; Martel’s “Dark Mambo”, remixed by Burger, is one of the collection’s big surprises, for it indeed does what the title says, a drifting, surrealist take on the mambo form, full of pensive chords, rich with unrequited longing, a breathy saxophone whispering under the song’s sly rhythmic carriage.

Old friends reappear, too: Golden Bug’s “Es Cucuruc” is a muted slow burner. The Novotones chime in with a slyly propulsive, Krautrock-esque charmer, “Liberty Bell”, and the guitar-led tone-drift of “Valley of Oblivion”; Paulor’s “The Last Coke in the Desert” is a chiming, lilting dreamscape; Mount Obsidian are joined again by vocalist Charlotte Jestaedt for two modern takes on early-hours art song, „Fade“ and „Marole“, the closing track of the compilation, which is a spooked requiem for times passed. Sascha Funke’s “Mathias Rust” is a lavish dancefloor dream, vocal samples drifting through the song as it slowly envelops the listener in its opulent radiance.

What’s most compelling about “Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3”, perhaps, is the way everything sits together so tightly, so neatly – it’s the album in the series so far that feels the most like it’s been made by collaborators in one long, playful session of experiment and exploration; everyone’s on the same page, exploring the fractured wastelands, dust squalls, sunburnt scapes and psychedelic cacti of the psyche; burnt sienna, desert lilies and willows, fairy dusters, yucca and greasewood… an extravagance of blooming, riotous colour, erupting from the sun-cracked landscapes within each of us.

This is just a taste of the rich pleasures of Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3, a triumph of a compilation that takes the psychedelic visions of its predecessors and looks for the desert within, a dusty kiss, a road-movie hallucination flickering on the listener’s eyelids, a cinematic projection from deep inside the mind.

De Cierto Desierto

Multi Culti's astrological archive expands into lunar phase with deep trips from CROWDPLEASER, BIRD OF PARADISE, DREEMS, NICK MURRAY & KRIS BAHA.

The trip begins with Swiss journeyman Crowdpleaser teaming up with Egyptian homie Mah'mood for a majikal rendition of pre-Islamic poem YASMIN, featuring hauntingly beautiful vocals from Tunisian wedding singer Habib. <3

UK-native BIRD OF PARADISE joins the crew, fresh off releases on Throne of Blood and Correspondant, with 'The Holy Mountain,' a Jodorowsky-scale epic that sounds like the full-moon party you should've gone to instead of that disgusting frat-party you landed at down the beach.

Label guru DREEMS comes up to bat with the herbal Sine 'O' The Tymes, refining the entire funk of Princeness and bottling into an acid genie bottle, bumping along with a few lazy cowbells in tow, until finally giving way to a frankly astonishingly pretty finish. Masterful. We are all feeling this one.

Finally, Australian doof dingos NICK MURRAY & KRIS BAHA bring up the tempo, rocking out in their inimitable style with electrified guitars, and hypnotic grooves that speak to a lifetime of overhearing digeridoos. 

We live in a beautiful world, ladies and dudes... cherish it in all it's different forms, love it more than you judge it, dance and don't be afraid. Never forget we're in this together: we are all one mind.

That Moment

PREMIERE - Leonor - That Moment (Playground Records)

Here we are, finally.
Every time I play my live set, this is the moment of maximum pride, when I can finally show to the girls that I am fucking brilliant and highbrow.
This track, for which I will certainly be haunted by the Zappa Police, is a tribute, on my knees, with my head bowed. to the greatest of all. him. Frank Zappa.
So, now 100 lucky people can download it for free and use it in their cultural gatherings. Thanks to me.
