Atomnation marks its 100th release with Peter, Barbara, Beth & Friends, the stunning debut album from Blomfelt & Narby. The immersive nine-track record arrives on May 27th and is a widescreen listen that fuses acoustic and electronic sounds with loose field recordings and tightly programmed drums.

Finnish-born Henrik Blomfelt grew up in Gaspar Narby's homeland of Switzerland, but the pair met on the dance floor of a pool club in Peckham while studying in London. Gaspar’s indie pop solo project was rewarded with a broad sweep of tastemaker tips from new music and electronica media alike, while Henrik had co-founded Resolution, an audio-visual collective and event series. The two eventually moved in together, but it's only a couple of years later, when Gaspar visited Henrik’s homeland of Finland, that they began making music together. They wrote half of the tracks that appear on the LP there, using an old piano, a cassette recorder found on location and their laptops. The second half was finished back in London.

The artwork's photos were taken by Henrik's brother Mikael on a trip to Mount Etna, Italy. "The surreal colours and vastness of the otherworldly landscape really resonated with us," they explain. "Our writing is mostly instinctive, but notions of colour, texture and space are definitely our focus. We often wonder whether our music is for the club or for the living room, perhaps Mount Etna is the true answer.[laugh]"

Wherever you listen to this emotive album, it cannot fail to resonate because of the way it draws you in close, yet builds expansive landscapes to surround this intimacy. There are beautiful contrasts throughout, such as the malfunctioning machine sounds and perfectly angelic female vocals on 'Peter Is OK Now,' or the frantic nature of the drums on 'Barbara Just Left' which are at beautiful odds with the soul-soothing chords.

Depending on where and when you listen to the likes of 'Trevor Left A Message' you will either ride the suspensory grooves to a higher state of enlightenment or get lost in the sombreness of the bass. As much as tracks like 'Kevin Has Been Thinking About His Taxes Too Much' carry enough weight and dynamism to power a dance floor, there is also an aching vulnerability to it that lends itself more to isolated listening on headphones. Elsewhere, the lo-fi chords and skeletal garage grooves of 'Tiffany Finds Faith On Fridays' might get your head down in a club, but the organic nature of the keys and warming vocal hums also lift your spirits.

Between the album's more propulsive moments, you are brought back down to earth with ambient tracks like the devastatingly insular 'Beth Is Crying' and hauntingly melancholic 'Jim Lost Control.' It is that duality - those off-set layers, opposing textures and the tension between private inner feelings and extroverted dancefloor joy that make this such a powerful album.

Peter, Barbara, Beth & Friends brings together the real and the abstract, the imagined and the lived, into a compelling record that moves you both physically and emotionally.

Placyde - An Everlasting Journey In The Middle Of Nowhere (Original Mix)

LANDSIDE 

Landside is the  debut collaboration between Italian producers Hunter/Game and the Icelandic band Kúra.
The sound draws as much from the deep vibe and  melancholy ambience of Kúraʼs  reflective, dubby moods, as the more insistent groove of Hunter/Game's dancefloor roots.
Fanney Osk 's vocals  are like clear warm breath in a cold mountain breeze.  
Vibrating  waves are set against synths and melodic leads that break the languid feel like the arrival of an intense storm.
Landside Part 1
"A visionary journey into uncharted lands, ranging across uncrossed soundscapes, merging abstract atmosphere with boundless emotion" 
In this first remix EP, two wildly different producers offer up their own original takes.   
Max Cooper's remix is as gorgeous and melodic as always, setting Fanney's vocals floating over a sea of warm synth work and surprisingly driving percussion.  Benjamin  Damage, meanwhile, fires hard into the dancefloor, digging  a channel of tough grooves  within the ambient melodies and mellow vocals.

PREMIERE: Sonya Rubleva & El.space - Attraction (Victor Norman Remix) [Exotic Refreshment]

Artwork by Christian Thoelke ( www.christian-thoelke.de )

Carsten Aermes has been delivering top notch production via his Phon.o moniker since the early 00's. His trademark has evolved, but kept aconsistent kernel formation: futuristic chord developments, bass epicness and colourful patterns from the city known for its damp, grey halls of techno. 

The four tracks bring you strong, nonconformist rugged and dancefloor dedicated beats right from the first bar. On »We Just Begun« he plays with a watery microtonal intro that would feel at home both in Colundi or in a Bristol club. On »Back To Black« he lets the percussion take the lead, kick drums swinging over a thick bassline and triplet rims. »Overtake Without Catching Up« is the Ep's more narrative track that brings together driving drums and melancholic synth patterns, keeping it psychedelic with a rolling bassline that stretches across the harmony. »Bright Sun« opens already nervously and tense, with a pulsating Chicago-style chord opening the way for harder but somehow slick drums. The bass/synth melody work releases the tension and opens up, perfect for those dancers or dj's listening beyond the beat.

PHON.O – Get Over It EP released IDEAL EUROPA in May 17th.
Mixed by Cesar Urbina a.k.a. Cubenx, mastered by Jan Siebert.

Back To Black

Wait stranger, take a look around.
Have you ever noticed how many things are happening around, that everything has its own rhythm, its sense of time and space. And all about that is interconnected. Time... It's what points the way, making you different from whom you were a moment ago. It is worth remembering, it flows in only one direction, and therefore causes such a strong interest.
Let the rhythm of time pass through you and give it free rein. And then it becomes clear that the present moment is something elusive. This is the moment when emotions, events and space merge together, when you catch yourself of thinking that the moment you are living is eternal. But only here and only now.
If you could choose which moment to pause and make it last forever, which one it would be?

In the compilation, the theme of time was used as a foundation. Each participant revealed it in its own way, original and unique. Each of them knows exactly how to stop time and grasp the moment of eternity. Pleasant journey.
