Rain EP

Ivory (IT) - Rain

Ivory - Rain [ST030 - Exit Strategy]

Dim Kelly Feat Lou Zweegers - So Good (Club Version)

Catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? While we’re feeling the spirit of William S. Burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &ME went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category ‘dance track’ for this one.
The meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you’ll find on this A-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. The way he’s kneading the lower frequencies, how he’s channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. Good vocal-selection, for that matter! Then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season.
“Locust” on B comes in with some smoothly looped E-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. But then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up that’s ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. Two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. Or differently put: a flawless double-A-side.

&ME - After Dark (Preview)

"Lucid Water" is like a nocturnal adventure under moonlit waves, the 11th gem in Around Midnight's collection, guiding listeners into the depths of Ary Sya's sonic ocean. The EP flows with the organic fluidity of a dream, with Lucid Water and Yes I Do serving as the luminescent core.

In "Lucid Water", Ary Sya's soundscape is a mesmerizing journey through a surreal aquatic realm. It's as if the music is the very current that carries you along, with its deep, pulsating rhythms mirroring the heartbeat of the ocean. Electronic melodies ebb and flow like phosphorescent creatures dancing beneath the waves, while ethereal textures create an immersive environment, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.

"Yes I Do" is an invitation to a sensual dance, an anthem to love and passion that envelops you like a warm embrace. The sensual voice that caresses each word, each breath, transports you to a state of bliss, where only the present moment matters.

Chambord's remix is a transformative tide, sweeping listeners into a hypnotic trance. Their interpretation of "Lucid Water" is like a nocturnal ritual on the shores of consciousness. With pulsating beats and atmospheric swells, Chambord's remix plunges you into the depths of a moonlit reverie. It's a journey into the subconscious, where the boundaries between the self and the universe dissolve into the shimmering abyss.

Gorgin's remix of Yes I Do, on the other hand, is a whirlpool of energy and innovation. It's as if Gorgin has captured the essence of a wild, untamed river and distilled it into sonic & acid form. With frenetic rhythms and kaleidoscopic soundscapes, Gorgin's remix propels you into a swirling vortex of sound and sensation. It's an exhilarating ride through a labyrinth of beats and melodies, where every twist and turn reveals a new dimension of sonic possibility.

In essence, "Lucid Water" is not just an EP—it's an odyssey into the unknown, a journey through the uncharted depths of electronic music. With Ary Sya's original track as the guiding light, and Chambord and Gorgin's remixes as the currents that carry you along, this release is a testament to the boundless creativity and imagination of the artists involved. It's a reminder that in the vast ocean of sound, there are always new worlds waiting to be explored.

2015 saw Damian Lazarus create his most ambitious project to date in The Ancient Moons, producing a full length album ‘Message From The Other Side’ with a wide assortment of vocalists and collaborators from around the world. They went on to support Roisin Murphy on tour, gain acclaim from the likes of Dazed & Confused and Lazarus became the final coverstar of the year in the UK”s Mixmag magazine.

Now the tracks from ‘The Other Side’ have been reinterpreted by an assortment of stars, from techno stalwarts Juan Atkins & Kimyon Huggins, to German experimental talent Kölsch, and Acid Pauli’s sprawling fusion of weirdness. The original material is ploughed in new and surprising directions by Black Butter’s own Gorgon City and Mehmet Asian, resident at Berlin’s infamous Wilde Renate club.

Talent from Lazarus’ label Crosstown Rebels, including Francesca Lombardo, DrumTalk and Israeli trio Red Axes also produce their own visions for the music, all of which retain the mysticism of the original with added dancefloor appeal. The final four tracks revisit some of the biggest moments from the Moons to date, as the album revisits interpretations from Jamie Jones, Dixon, Serge Devant and &Me.

Co-produced by James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco, Arctic Monkeys, Florence & The Machine), The Ancient Moons was always a unique project, which has now been stretched to include the flavours of some of the most exciting artists shaping the musical landscape right now.

Recorded in Mexico, LA and London, ‘The Other Side’ features instrumentalists from Mozambique, Guinea, Pakistan, Egypt, America and even Mexico’s own Yucatan Symphony Orchestra.
