Pho Beat Bazar embodies the classical atmosphere you breathe in an Asian Market, a jumbled stand where who is patient enough to root around can find the oddest goods.
It's a shared virtual place where different artists come close together through the power of music.

PREMIERE | XCI - SAFETY CAR [PHO BHO]

Inspired from Romanian cultural heritage, be it film, dance or musical instruments, Folclor Abstract is a glance back to the roots in search of a meaningful future.

The first track is inspired from the soundtrack composed by Cornelia Tăutu for the Romanian historical adventure film "Buzduganul cu trei peceți" (1977). The film presents a politicized version of the events that led in 1600 to the unification of the three Romanian countries, in the aftermath of a victorious battle against the Ottoman invasion (Călugăreni, 1595). Dance your way through as the story unfolds.

Dans cu balans is the result of a personal fascination for the cimbalom, an instrument of high versatility, frequently used in the Romanian fiddle music. In contrast to orchestral performances, which adhere to the composer's notes to reproduce a work faithfully, fiddling is also open to improvisation and tends to produce rhythms that focus on dancing, with associated quick note changes.

Searching for inspiration within Romanian folklore, I found Ivan Braga who was on his own pursuit of cultural heritage, experimenting with a variety of traditional instruments and rhythms from different regions of the country. Doba lu' Braga is Ivan's modern take on Romanian drum patterns performed on a traditional Moldavian drum (dobă) with an uplifting twist and arrangement for the dancefloor experience.

Reverie is an expression of the creator's state of mind. Lost in thought, stolen by imagination, haunted by memories, liberated by dreams.

BUY : https://cosmovitelli.bandcamp.com/album/as-she-rolled-another-ep

I’m a Cliché presents Cosmo Vitelli’s As She Rolled Another, a digital-only EP featuring an original track and gathering alternate versions from the Berlin-based artist’s vaults. It comes a few months prior to his new album planned in February 2022 and entitled Medhead.
 
As She Rolled Another is born out of Vitelli’s desire to share a newly produced track along with significantly alternative versions of existing music, which were created for pleasure. Indeed, Vitelli wanted to play with existing material to take it in strikingly different directions, prior to his album's release.

The unreleased track features singer Izzy Lindqwister and additional production by Krikor. It is a plodding post-punk, dub-infused affair, intimate and insidious at the same time.

The EP also includes two club-oriented tracks he released on Les Disques De La Mort and Malka Tuti along with an alternate take in a kosmiche mood of his collaboration with Julienne Dessagne of Fantastic Twins, also found on his 2019 Malka Tuti EP

Guillaume Blanjean, better known by his stage name Atlas Castle, is a French producer and label owner based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Long sleepless nights and a certain vision of aesthetics brought this project to life with the idea to create a musical base throughout which he could play whatever he would feel like, without any boundaries, mixing electronic energy, melodies and samples to forge his own sound.
Seduced by the #DAWless community back in 2020, he decided to step away from the computer and embrace the hardware path with his first electronic devices. Atlas Castle brings you here on a new musical journey, mixing cinematic, raw, minimalistic and electronic music. Coming back to basics through direct live performances.
When not active behind his machines, he happily runs his own independent music label & collective: Petite Victory Collective. His label is keenly placed to explore the intersection of music and art through interdisciplinary creative collaborations that blur lines between ecology, sustainability and hardwares.
Writing music has recently presented itself as a challenge, with a notable absence of inspiration. However, whether inspired or not, my creative process remains constant. It is a necessity for me, as it serves as a means to express myself. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Golden Forest Record for graciously welcoming my new EP: ‘FVRS' into their catalog.
The collection of live sessions does not adhere to a specific conceptual framework. Instead, it primarily represents my experimentation with samples, serving as a medium through which I can share my current mood and vibe. It showcases a unique fusion of ambient, techno, experimentation, imperfection, and minimalism, all of which underline my dedication to capturing the unfiltered essence of my musical journey.
I sincerely hope that you will find pieces to hold on to while listening to this musical experiment. Each track has been performed live on the Elektron Digitakt, ensuring a raw, authentic and under-produced experience. By deliberately embracing imperfections, I invite you into a world where creativity flourishes beyond the confines of conventional norms - Golden Forest

Prince Of Denmark - (In The End) The Ghost Ran Out Of Memory (Night Talk Reinterpretation)

Taken from the acclaimed debut LP 'The Soft Bounce', Phantasy is proud to present expansive remixes of two album tracks. 
 
Daniel Avery ramps up the atmosphere with an airy, drifting electronic mantra, pulsing with gliding motorik propulsion perfect for late night escapades. 
 
On the flip side, BTU, an amalgamation of producers Babe Terror and U, take album closer 'Third Mynd' and recast it as a mind opening sixteen minute collage of found sound, drone and atmosphere, a psychedelic opus befitting Jon Savage's otherworldly speech. 
 
Two very distinct trips into the outer reaches of electronic sound. Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore…

After more than three years of silence as a producer, Efdemin a.k.a Phillip Sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the “continuous DJ mix” format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. This CD-mix, named Naïf, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers (e.g. Margaret Dygas, Sebastian Mullaert, Steve Bicknell, Jeroen Search, Pom Pom, Marco Shuttle or Gunnar Haslam) along with an additional ten that feature Efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). The release condenses his decade-long DJ-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno.

Owing to his additional projects, such as collaborating with PAN artist Konrad Sprenger on a modular organ system to be installed in museums, or scoring for a Neue Musik ensemble, the Berlin-based Efdemin is known as hiker between the worlds . His regular stints at Berghain or Panoramabar, his partnership with established labels (e.g. Ostgut Ton, Dial, Sushitech) and the leadership of his own Naïf imprint all demonstrate that since more than a decade. 

Naïf consists of completely unreleased / never-before-heard material from both himself and valued collaborators, all of which will eventually manifest as EP releases: two will be available on Curle, with an additional five on his own Naïf label. All of the individual contributions are combined here in a painstaking assembly process that took an entire year to complete, and the result is that the album flows with an almost paradoxical effortlessness from one style to the next; a conscious choice on Efdemin’s part to give this release a longevity well beyond the typical lifespan of genre-specific DJ mixes. Besides the strong collection of tracks from well-known and undiscovered producers alike, it ́s Efdemin’s own contributions to the mix that stand out and reinforce his unique position.

This becomes evident once the album kicks off with spectral, distant bells and homemade modular synth sounds leading into more unreleased Efdemin pieces, „Watte“ and “Sirius,” whose deep dub resonance locks in the attention of those who were merely curious at the beginning of the trip. Later in the mix we find the weird electroacoustic textures of ‘Laveline’, a collaboration with the aforementioned Konrad Sprenger The standout composition on Naïf is Efdemin’s infectious microtonal techno “Move Your Head.” where Sollmann’s voice hovers over distorted 808 patterns and immersive justly tuned synth pads, pointing the way towards the formative, trailblazing influences – Silver Apples, This Heat and the drone aesthetic of Tony Conrad – which embodied the seeking spirit of techno before the genre as we now know it existed.

Throughout the remainder of the mix, a supporting cast of favorites turn in everything from blinding energy (Steve Bicknell’s “Running Man”), to unrestrained ecstasy courtesy of Inland / Ed Davenport, to the overdriven lockstep groove of Cassegrain’s Rhyw. The final bow comes in the form of the Efdemin track “Love,” which both pays homage to classic house tracks and refer to his early productions at the same time. 

Naïf is a release that will take several listens to fully explore, with each successive listen unearthing a new discovery: building a new future from the most resilient musical materials of the past. Thus showing Efdemin’s unique vision of the music called techno.
