Nils Frahm - Says

In celebration of both artists performing in London this month, Max Cooper is offering this wonderful remix of his dear friend Nils Frahm, who'll perform an electronic set on October 18 as part of The Hydra: Erased Tapes label night at the Village Underground.

Tickets available via Resident Advisor:

A second remix of Juno track 'For' can be downloaded via XLR8R:
http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2013/10/download-max-coopers-new-remix-n

In Max's own words:

'Nils Frahm is one of the best artists out there in my opinion, with pretty much the best live show I've ever seen. But aside from all that, this was just a really enjoyable remix to work on because the original is such a great piece of music, and seemingly so well suited to what I wanted to do with it - which was to try and turn Nils' instrumental jam on his Juno, into something house/techno/club/44 compatible, but still carrying the class and feeling of the original. It was one of those remixes that just seemed to fit and flow easily, with minimum strain and maximum enjoyment on my part - usually a good sign for a remix (the one's that have to be forced never seem to quite get there).

Not only is this one of the best remix projects I've been lucky enough to be involved with, it's also available totally free for you to download and share as you like, courtesy of Erased Tapes and Decibel festival where myself and Nils played last weekend, as well as XLR8R, who were good enough to first feature the 'For' remix.

And of course, it's also a thank you to YOU for listening an supporting my work over the years....thank you and I hope you like the track!....

ps if you're in London on the 18th, Nils is playing an Erased Tapes showcase at Village Underground.'

'Frahm's beautiful, clever piano melodies are a perfect match for Cooper's emotional, distinctive breed of production, blurring lines between the recital hall and the dance floor.' – Earmilk

After releasing his critically acclaimed album Spaces in late 2013, and a completely sold out North American Tour in spring, Nils Frahm will return for the autumn run of his Spaces Tour with a special gift to his fans: an exclusive stream of album track 'Said And Done'.

'Touring the US again? I hope my folks at home wont get jelous but it is just starting to become some serious fun! Expect me to return with more crazy ideas about how to wreck an old New York Steinway and more tips: how to manage travelling UNITED AIRLINES. There will be more half broken tape delays, overclocked synths and hopefully I can score another silly drum computer. I am very much looking forward! Plus, if you want me back, I am coming. See you soon!' – Nils Frahm

His feverish playing is so stimulating that it's slightly nerve-wracking' – Pitchfork

'If you've ever caught Nils Frahm live, you can attest to what a powerful experience it can be' – Exclaim!

'It’s a powerfully moving experience watching him create all manner of sounds with his fingertips' – KEXP

'He had the audience laughing, at the point of tears and ultimately on their feet with a standing ovation' – Resident Advisor

Taylor McFerrin - Already There (feat. Robert Glasper and Thundercat)

Every now and then we come across a gem hidden in the depths of Soundcloud, unheard and undiscovered, waiting for their music to grace the world's ears. Making soft, soothing, piano laden goodness, we got in touch with Latvian beat maker <a href="https://www.facebook.com/broove"> Broove </a> to kindly ask him to create this week's Slumber Session and boy has he delivered. It's mid-week wind down time. Drift into Broove's dreamscape.

"I had a dream. It was a regular day – with a big, sleepy yawn I stood up from the bed, washed my face, ate a peanut butter sandwich, put up my clothes, and started to pack my bag for the university. When I was ready, I came to the door to open it, but couldn’t do it. Something wasn’t right. I tried to open it again, and only then I saw how my hand went through the door handle. Immediately after realizing that, I found myself lying in the same bed, thinking „What the hell just happened? Was it a dream? It was so real!” I’ve never been so confused in my life. If things in dreams can be as real as in everyday life, then what does ‘real’ even mean?"

Slumber Session: Broove

Sleep time. Oozing you in with a seductive blend of downtime jams are the intuitively talented, multi-instrumentalists <a href="www.facebook.com/novoamorsongs">Novo Amor </a>& Ed Tullett. Amor, the moniker of Wales based Ali Lacey teamed up with Brighton based Tullett to bring the highly anticipated single 'Faux' through Dumont Dumont and Brilliance Records, describing each of his songs as a moment of Zen. Reflecting that Zen in this mix, its time to tune in and zone out to the dreamy sounds of Novo Amor and Ed Tullett. Night night.

https://soundcloud.com/edtullett

"This mix was chosen to reflect the ups and downs of sleep - deep, meditative moments, crashing highs and lows, haunting nightmares and cleansing quiet tones. From the huge walls of 'Consumed', the honest glow of 'Pretty Little Life Form', to the tiny 'Radiant', it's a mix that shows sleep for all that it can be."

As announced by XLR8R, Rival Consoles crafts a delicate interpretation of German duo SpringerParker's 'Libretto'.

'West preserves the warbling Norwegian vocals of opera singer Lilly Jørstad and the piano melody from the original, but he also puts his own touch onto the track, layering it with fuzzy synth bass, drums, guitar, and rustling noise' – XLR8R

The remix can be found on SpringerParker's new EP 'Polar Circle & Remixes', alongside a remix of 'Arctic Flowers' by Benoît Pioulard.

MORE INFO:

Since the year 2008, Springer Parker have been traveling through the Polar regions of Europe in a motor home, aiming for the northern Norwegian territory of Finnmark with its eight seasons. During the course of their artistic voyages of discovery, they observed and studied the region collecting photos, sound recordings and stories for their archive – memories which the artists have now embedded in contemporary music, compositions on landscape, the environment and the people.

All of the field recordings woven by SpringerParker into their music have been lifted from the aural archives they have compiled on their travels and are intimately connected to the theme of each piece. Hence "Arctic Flowers" features recordings of thawing permafrost in Knivskjellodden on the Magerøya peninsula, as well as the Gulf Stream climate catalyst where it ends in the Porsanger Fjord. On "Mørketid", or "Polar Night", the dark season which lasts for several months as the sun stays beneath the horizon, SpringerParker deploy recordings of a snowstorm which engulfed them all of a sudden. They affixed contact microphones to wooden Lavvus structures, the traditional tents of the indigenous Sami people, to record this force of nature.

For the centerpiece of their composition, the so-called "Libretto", they enlisted the services of opera singer Lilly Jørstad from Russia, but now living in Tromsø. To create the typical unison of word and song as found in opera, for example, the artists asked the vocalist, 24 years old at the time, to put the noteworthy temperature readings of the region into song, using names of places and data provided by meteorological institutes for the year 2010.

The Remix of SpringerParker's LIBRETTO is done by Erased Tapes artist Rival Consoles. His interpretation of this song is so very delicate and again demonstrates the range of the electronic wizard from London.
