Synthfest

Born in Milan to a Cameroonian father and a Polish/Lithuanian mother, Dawidowicz's moved to Jerusalem at age six. They have spent their childhood in a Jewish ultra-orthodox environment, playing the piano within the context of religious ceremonies and dreaming of becoming a fashion designer and musician. After waking up from the reality they were raised in, they moved to Venice and started to explore the world outside of the mental barriers of religion. While completing their fashion design degree back in Milan, music was their medicine, and they quickly started developing the practice of storytelling through the medium of sound, serendipitously pursuing their father's path as a disk jockey in the vibrancy of the Eighties and Nineties cosmopolitan Milanese nightlife. Their search for home and their devotion to music brought them quickly to Berlin, where they currently create, live, and love.

Sanctuary of Ideas is a very personal and optimistic journey by Nathan Dawidowicz. A spiritual path, as cosmic and adventurous as Nathan’s trajectory, with beautiful twists and psychedelic twirls into their personal rabbit hole. A record full of memories and positive affirmations, filled with jazzy yet psychedelic Cosmic and Krautrock elements. A fusion of inspiration and a perfect reflection of Dawidowicz's heritage.

Idea`s Eve is a stargate to our ancestral power. The source of our inspiration is connected to our past - to the spirits of our ancient memories. Dawidowicz leaves a lot of space to breathe in this magical opener. Enchanting melodies and bubbling sounds surround the listener while his voice keeps repeating a mantra of an ancient love spell. A track where you feel your DNA spiraling up the ladder of evolution. Yet so natural and healing.

Full Moon Dance is the spiritual continuation of the first track. A swirl of magical melodies, yet jazzy but truly cosmic walking up the ladder to another dimension, where warm moon rays and fluffy clouds surround love. The synth lines represent the playful and smooth moon rays reflected on a rhythmical heart-beating ground where tears can be joyfully spent to honor the emotions we usually oppress.

To close the EP, Nathan Dawidowicz worked a half a year to finalize the last track in full detail. 23 Minutes and 18 Seconds long is the Capricorn Rising Over Jerusalemite Temple. This story is where the listener is brought to a higher level of consciousness. Against the rules of our consumerist world, Nathan Dawidowicz focuses on a dramaturgy full of patience for our own lifetime. Acidic lines come and go, powerful synth solos trigger unknown brain parts, and an epic melody accompanies the listener and lets dark emotions melt in a brass-filled part where a voice tells us that time is on our side. The song ends with an epic twist and promises a new start, where our most lovely memories stay in a vortex of light. Beam me up Nathan

Nobody knows what it means, so we ask boys from the island for an explanation. “Grange e divadi asi” - in our language it’s like an anxiety attack, but in a good way". Psychedelic funk at its best for the closing of the EP. Dance version by Italian finest comes by Fabrizio Marmmarella.

This is the first record on Slow Motion’s sister label, Wrong Era.
Wrong Era takes the name from our monthly Berlin party and has a focus on international artists who are dealing in all things electronic and discoid. The first release comes courtesy of Kruton aka Milo Smee (Bintus, Power Vacuum), who brings four tracks of mechanical funk and tweaking disco. Included in the package is his remix of Friction by Gold Blood, a track that has long been a secret weapon for a few select DJ’s. There are also three brand new original tracks of heavy EBM jams that are guaranteed to keep dance floors moving all night long. Wrong Era arrives in a physical format with a bang!

In 2004 I was asked to remix Nitzer Ebb’s “Murderous”. I always had an interest in the music labeled as “EBM” including bands like Front 242 and it even had a strong influence on the band that was then started by myself called “Alloy Mental”. It’s always been a simple connection between punk and techno. 

I had long wanted to work with Douglas (J McCarthy) again but we had never actually met each other or spoken before, so it wasn’t until last summer I saw a news story saying that Nitzer Ebb were touring again and it just sparked the thought that I really should try contacting him again. I sent a message and then forgot about it. A few months later I got a message back from him and within a couple of days flights were booked to Belfast and he was coming to spend a few days here writing music with me. We got on extremely well and had an amazing few days talking, drinking and occasionally making music. 

The results are here in this EP. I wanted to capture a take on something punk that is just drums bass and a vocal, while slightly reminiscent of 80’s bands like DAF or Cabaret Voltaire, using a power beat from the famous Linn drum machine so it feels like a kind of stiff disco beat and just stripping everything else away to leave it bare and raw for the dance floor.

Available from all good digital outlets from June 14th 2019.

Директор Всего (The CEO Of Everything) is the new project and an alter ego of Andrew Lee (also known as Obgon). His character of the CEO may inspire you to do your job after hours, lead you to success or fire you. You may ask: fire from where? From everywhere! A new wave
of dismissals is postponed due to the release of the first Директор Всего single «Форс-мажор» (“Force majeure”), that includes the remix by Simple Symmetry. The executive director of consciousness and subconsciousness has an album, live performances and many other things in plans.

“Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of releasing a debut album from a new artist called Meetsysteem. This is the remix EP of that album. A couple of years before that I found out Ricky (Meetsysteem) co-produced a couple of tracks I released, so I asked him for his own music. (Ricky is the kind of guy that just makes music on his own and will hardly ever talk about it unless you ask him). A year ago he finally sent me a couple of demos. There were a couple of house and minimal tracks and two pop tracks in the package. They were all great, but these two pop tracks really stood out. Turned out he had about 20 more of those weird poetic dutch pop songs. In the next 6 months we worked closely together to compile, edit, mix and master the tracks - to eventually release the album Geen Signaal last June. The album is completely different from anything we’ve released before. It’s been the most intense but also most rewarding record I’ve worked on so far. In contrast to the album, this remix EP was probably the easiest process for a release. All of it came together spontaneously. I’m super happy the originals inspired others to give their twist to it.”

PREMIERE : Meetsysteem - In Heaven (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)

The next 12 incher on Wrong Era is made by Marching Machines, a duo made of two Belgian powerhouses: Dimitri Andreas and Spacid. Their love for electronic machine manipulation and their musical history that spans over 2 decades, built an excellent foundation for this brand new project. “Lonesome” is a slow burning dark electro track with howling and gloomy synths that flow into acidic tendencies. “Desolat” continues on the emotional path of the previous track, embracing solitude on a broken rhythm, ending up in arpeggiating classic and cosmic italo track. In succession of that, there’s “Driven” which moves up to dancefloor dynamics by using harder and raw sounds, combined with an analogue pulsewave sound generator and building into a release of energy with wavy synths and smashing snares. The final track is a remix of “Lonesome” by one of Wrong Era’s label bosses Fabrizio Mamarella. While the original idea is still intact, the remix is a definite bigger and faster version, implying a stark contrast that still remains powerful, perfectly made for the dancefloor.
