“That singular feeling of possibility when hearing a new piece of work that instantly resonates will never get old for me,” Gi Gi told me in an interview earlier in the year. “It’s what I’m always searching for as a listener and selector, and what I strive to one day achieve in my own work as well." 

The Austin-based artist’s statement could be from one of the many like-minded producers making electronic music in the US right now—not least the artist on remixing duties here—but it feels particularly apt when listening to any of the Texas producer's work as Gi Gi or Kept, especially ‘OYC (Jung DJ Remix)’ from the forthcoming Era Mauro Remixes.

On Era Mauro, the US producer directed his focus squarely at the dancefloor. The same is true for most of the remixes on offer here, except for Jung DJ's reinterpretation of ‘OYC’ which falls somewhere in the territory between ambient and techno. The track possesses a lot of the qualities present on the New York producer's recent Lillerne release; there's a kinetic energy to the song—largely down to the immaculately mixed drums—but also a spaciousness that lends itself to a more introspective, solitary environment. Like so much great music to be released by US artists lately including Ben Bondy, Purelink and Pontiac Streator, ‘OYC (Jung DJ Remix)’ lies at the intersection of beats and ambience with no strict adherence to one specific sound or genre, just an honest desire to craft interesting and exciting electronic music people can resonate with. Speaking as a fan, it's safe to say that ‘OYC (Jung DJ Remix)’ succeeds in doing that.

Been feeling all sorts of moods recently and ended up making an evil-sounding dancehall/grime/dub crossover skit that I was really happy with which should sound really pants on your phones but i’m hopeful it’ll tingle a few noses on a large rig. Quite a short tune actually but a looooot of love went into it, whilst working with a bunch of new techniques and equipment.

Love and shouts to Accidental Meetings for signing it. In really good company on the compilation and all proceeds go to mental health charity, Mind. 

Head to Bandcamp 😎

Artist: @simon-off
Titile: joyful discontent
Label: guides
Release date: 17.11.2023
Format: digital / cassette (edition of 50)
Mastered by: LXC
Artwork: Marta Sieczkowska
Simon Hafner aka Sun People is well known to fans of fast tempos, having released music on labels such as @exitrecords @rua_sound and @through_these_eyes. Hafner presents a wide range of music and guest mixes on his monthly Sub FM radio show and is also releasing music and doing A&R for the label @defrostatica.

His latest cassette on the Guides label, titled Joyful Discontent, is a tribute to minimalism, referencing the works of Frank Bretschneider and Mark Fell. The starting point for this release was a JMT VDR-1 drum synthesizer, characterised by its intuitive aspects, its limited sonic capacities and the challenge to stretch the machine's possibilities. This one instrument informs the structure of the album, fixed in tempo, track and total length. Reducing his tools to a bare minimum, Hafner explicitly refers to specific genre traditions inherent in this radical form. Structurally and sonically, the spirit of clicks & cuts (e.g., Komet’s ‘Rausch’) can be heard, as well as influences from dub, ambient and minimalist drum&bass and footwork.

In his thinking, however, Hafner goes further. The idea of interlocking all the pieces, complementing the overall grid of constraints, provides the frame for a playful exploration. The result was also fuelled by intuitiveaction, such as when a single gesture and decision changes the direction of a process that takes place in real time. When composing, despite the track’s live act structure, he produced recordings that could function as parts of a jigsaw puzzle that can berearranged freely in any order, thus opening the way for a reinterpretation of the whole. This is also why the album will be available in two versions, both as a mix of combined tracks, and as eight individual pieces that make up the whole.

Despite so many formal constraints, Joyful Discontent still sounds accessible. The pieces produced by Hafner move in the direction of Mark Fell’s compositional approaches, where music is devoid of evoking emotion, rather, aiming for a neutral and non-imposing environment for the listener. 

(with the kind support of the city of Graz)

This release is also available on the artist's bandcamp page. If you want to support him directly, I encourage you to do so.

In time for the holiday season is a gift from the Belgium based imprint, Initiate Records and their ‘Winter Nights’ compilation. The release clocks in at an impressive 28 tracks centered around a common idea as the label states, ‘we asked the artists to follow the theme of “long winter nights” and to translate that emotion into music. What results is a varied compilation going from lightness to darkness.’

Our premiere for today was born from the mind of Box 5ive. With prior releases on Well Street, Comic Sans, and Twin Systems, the London artist is steadily growing a solid repertoire. Starting off with disembodied voices and warm bass lines, Duty Free evokes whispery scenes of wind swept roads, those moments of travel late at night, where none are around. The ever present serenity, and introspection as sounds are muted by snow, the only companion, the thoughts within one's mind.

Duty Free, and the rest of the Winter Nights compilation will be released on the 23rd, of December.

PREMIERE: Box 5ive - Duty Free [Initiate Records]

Next up on co:clear – a somewhat new direction for London-based producer, Box5ive. Perhaps an artist more usually associated with trudging, UK-bass divagations (via contributions to Panel Audio and Well Street Records), his debut LP ensues a wistful gear change that speeds straight through the apex of your serotonin receptors.

Caressed by synths that cry euphoric tears, ‘Grey Space’ is a full-length trip that fuses adept drum programming with serenading melody, offering a majestic listening experience that glides amongst emo-bient clouds and free falls into dazzling electronica.
