[ OE 009 ] : Suemori - Maebashi (Snippets)

Zauberstab Volume 1 is a compilation of electronic bedroom music made by contemporary artists that belong to similar sonic spheres, to be released in LIO Press, a new label based in Barcelona founded by Alicia Carrera. The A side feels like a holiday in an exotic landscape; the kind of place you don't want to leave. The B side then goes in a slightly deeper meditative direction, but not too far, since the sparking disco-infused psych exploration of 'Space Surfari' will hold you back from falling into the void of the unconscious. What comes next is the sound that would welcome a moonlit night sky. The C side slinks into a minimal synth oriented exploration, ending with the intergalactic hopeful drift of 'Har'. The last side will provide a comfortable seat on this hypnotic journey. 'Ete 2017' is an ode to the late summer nights, a mind-driving loop carried by gentle percussive sounds, filled with some bass deepness. The next tracks are the the right balance between a hug and a breeze of fresh air for your mind and soul. At this point you might find yourself wondering if it's a good idea to open your eyes or just keep them closed for a bit longer and thoroughly enjoy all of the details of this story. But, why not? This one is, after all, a record to build beautiful memories with.

Strapontin - Sasnal Park (EP)
Release date : 05/07/2021
Pre-order : https://abstrackrecords.bandcamp.com/album/strapontin-sasnal-park-ep

Second release of the year already from the party music people of Abstrack. This time, it’s Brussels based artist Strapontin whose original production is on the menu, with re interpretation from several gifted companions. The multitude here is no excuse for genericity or easy recipes, rather a fertile playground for toying around with a wide range of vibes and moods.

Matches is a poetic, sensual spoken-word piece. The song feels like a flower about to blossom, though with plenty of hybrid DNA in it. In the end it leaves the way wide open for further emotions to get through. And they do.

Sasnal Park is the emotion of wander : looking for something forever, but for what? The drums make you believe that you found it but they turn out to be a mirage, and so does every tangible element of the track. A beautiful journey in the end even if you don’t know where you’ve been.

Family Diner … no ambiguity this time : a mystical roller as dark as it is trippy. Or maybe more trippy. Either way, not sure you can resist dancing to this one played out loud. Lose yourself to screaming halfway through, but only to fall back well rooted in those dancing feet afterwards.

On the flip, remixers put it where they’re expected to : A Strange Wedding takes the wandering “Sasnal Park” on the Edge of trancy club music, closer to the roots of Abstrack parties.

Feon turns the belter “Family Diner” into a road roller : sirens and massive subs engage into a memorable fist fight.

And home man Vidock choses the very dreamlike “Matches”, adding quite a touch of dancefloor but not removing one inch of dream.

A digital bonus of great value is delivered by the hands of anatolian weapon, remixing Sasnal Park. This time, no messing around : it's full on club mood, the acid line and the the powerful beats turning the wander and the dream into a strangely haunting dancefloor weapon.


Strapontin

Besides being a dancer, performer and visual artist, French-born, Brussels-based Patrick Belmont aka Strapontin is a DJ and producer who mixes up slow and rough techno with thrilling soundtracks and groove driven disco.

While the world was (still) burning in 2020 Strapontin released two banging records on Hard Fist and Invisible Inc. uplifted by stellar remixes from Sascha Funke, Damon Jee and Thomass Jackson. He also created his own home-made video game with the movie director and partner Yvan Megal with whom he realised most of his music video. Early 2021 marked his explosive return on Optimo with a collaborative EP with Philadelphia's psychedelic duo Zillas On Acid.

Patrick Belmont is also a soundtrack composer and performer in the contemporary dance collective Poetic Punkers, and works with choreographers Lorenzo De Angelis, Baptiste Conte and Ikue Nakagawa.
He also unveiled his first art exhibition in ZSenne Artlab (Brussels) in 2020.

Kodokushi or lonely death refers to a Japanese phenomenon of people dying alone and remaining undiscovered for a long period of time.

Simon Crab in his most elegant contemporary style. A heavy dose of emotion (maybe disturbing!?) from the man behind the hugely influential alternative music band Bourbonese Qualk.

Lush soundscape, meticulous programming whilst still containing the dub DNA, what a conquest of freedom!

Unmistakable and inimitable Detlef magic on the B-side. Tolouse Low Trax serve a cerebral utopian idea long to 7,42 minutes.

Music for the head... and body! It's coming out in May, limited to 200 copies.

When Laura (Ondula) makes jokes out of my kind of extravagant elegance, or about her elaborated saturday-night hair-style, she says that’s “macadam mambo”! When I first listened to her saying this I found it very appropriate.

Sacha Mambo, the man who together with Guillaume des Bois, started the notorious label Macadam Mambo, has been one of Diapason highlights. During the past years Sacha and me were part of the same international underground party scene and ended up putting out a couple of my most known releases, which preluded to the most recent EP “That’s when the Animals turned into humans” made with Laura under the name As Longitude and featuring Twoonky and Paul Arambula. If I remember well, Laura, Sacha and me made the agreement exactly in mid July 2018, in Berlin, just before the night at Sameheads began.

The recent lockdown forced Sameheads to cancel our latest two episodes. Shifting to this hidden virtuality, we want to keep the tradition alive and have reached out to some of our past guests and assembled a Diapason Compilation Tape Vol. 1 featuring new music from some of the artists who inspired us.

For the seventh relase of the Worst collection, our infamous A Strange Wedding takes a deep turn on the great unknown.

Keeping in mind the « ritual » and « cosmic » adjectives often associated with his music, he built a mystical artifact fallen from the skies, quite litterally indeed. « Black Magic Rituals » is a wizzard's book full of smart spells to open the space and time continuum. Whether it is made of shimmering stratospheric soundscapes or built in between constellations of the inner world, A Strange Wedding goes beyond his own forms to explore half-step industrial leftfield dub as well as mental-driven deep techno in the style of italian masters. Oscillating from far distances to intimate odes to infinity, this crystal maze of sharp music stands as a usefull toolbox for total mind liberation, and marks a step even forward into's A Strange Wedding sonic journey.

To be continued, of course.  

----

Pour le septième opus de Worst Records, notre cher A Strange Wedding prend un tournant assuré vers le grand Inconnu.

Prenant à la lettre les adjectifs « rituel » et « cosmique » qui sont souvent associés à sa musique, il sculpte ici un artefact mystique tombé des cieux. Littéralement. « Black Magic Rituals » est un grimoire de magicien gorgé de sorts ouvrant autant de brèches dans l'espace-temps. Qu'ils consistent en des paysages sonores scintillants ou qu'ils soient tendus entre les constellations de mondes internes, A Strange Wedding s'aventure ici dans les franges liminaires de ses formes musicales fétiches, d'une leftfield dub industrialisante à une deep-techno dans le style très mental des maîtres italiens. Oscillant entre des dimensions lointaines et des odes à l'infini de l'intime, ce labyrinthe cristallin s'ouvre comme une boîte à outils pensée pour la libération totale de l'âme, et marque un pas décisif dans le voyage musical de A Strange Wedding.

Jusqu'au prochaines frontières, assurément.

Psyclones: Tape Music 1980 – 1984
 
Since the early 1980s the Eureka, California based duo Psyclones freak out in music. As one of the most long-standing DIY duos, Brian Ladd and Julie Frith created a body of work, that flirts with Ambient, experimental industrial sounds, New Wave, Post-Punk, Synth-Pop, and all that electric jazz. Besides a few hard-to-find vinyl releases, they published their music regularly via cassette tapes on labels like their own imprint Ladd-Frith or other famed 1980's underground tape labels like Cause And Effect from Indianapolis, legendary San Francisco based Subterranean Records, Sound of Pig from New York, Insane Music from Belgium or the Spanish label Auxilio De Cientos to name but a few.
 
Now, Notte Brigante is dropping “Tape Music 1980 – 1984” – a detailed compiled sampler on Psyclones early output, that was scattered over diverse tape releases. A nine tracks long trip into the work of a highly underrated band, that never lost their drive to explore new avenues in sound. “Tape Music 1980 – 1984” displays their artistic impulse with a strong, minimal leaning post-punk feeling, spreading the early magic of a once new genre, that liberated rock music briefly from its bombastic male driven professionalism. Psyclones liberated large, while adding the repetitive patterns of drum machines, witchy female singing, cool male chanting, Tuxedomoon-ish weirdness, darkish synth sounds and dubby big city Angst to their cocktail of music. All balancing between icy wave coolness and nonchalant neon funk. Insane Music for sane people, smokers, rain lovers, midnight movers and all those cats, that can’t cope with the pre-written consumer life reality. If you chose to eat “Tape Music 1980 – 1984”, make sure to wear shoulder pads, bring an ashtray and turn your inner fog machine on.

Music recorded on cassette by Julie Frith and Brian Ladd between 1980 and 1984. LP mastered today from the original recordings.

Out around March 2nd, 2021, edition of 300 copies. Buy Vinyl & Digital: https://nottebrigante.bandcamp.com/album/psyclones-tape-music-1980-1984
