Plaid – The Digging Remedy

Pedal to the metal, he raced down the street, gathering as much speed as he possibly could. Why did he leave it to last minute? He'd had so many opportunities to tell her how he really felt and so far he'd scuppered them all. This was his last chance, he'd already heard from friends about her plans to embark on a new chapter, but he hoped that he could be part of that. Pulling up to her place, he noticed the darkened windows and the empty driveway, was it too little too late? All the signs pointed to one answer: she'd already left.

We always admire the passion and determination that goes into label work, even more so when that hard work translates to a huge milestone. Dutch imprint Atomnation have reached their 100th release, and to commemorate the occasion they've invited London-based producers Blomfelt & Narby to take charge with what marks the pair's debut album. Though both grew up in Switzerland, they met on the dance floor of Peckham pool hall Canavans whilst studying at university, and quickly found common ground in their love of electronic music. 

Fast-forward a few years and, after moving in together and visiting Blomfelt's birthplace of Finland, they began embarking on a musical path together. Some of the tracks written during that visit to Finland are housed on this immersive LP, Peter, Barbara, Beth & Friends, which draws from electronica, breakbeat, garage and ambient, marrying synthetic and organic sounds with field recordings, intricate, skittering drums and celestial pads.

Mårble is the alias of musician and multi-instrumentalist Anton Glebov. "1691" is his first solo long-playing album after quite a long break, and this is a great comeback! The album is filled with spiritual and spaced-out jazz-inspired music, recorded mainly by Mårble all by himself in his former studio in Saint Petersburg during the years 2021 and 2022. The studio was a big inspiration for Anton. He and his friends made a really special place, where instead of their home studios, they finally had no limits and could play and record music with ease. Even the name of the album is an homage to the studio; the number of the studio's door was 1691.

At the time when the album was in the process of making, Mårble was listening to a lot of Afro-Cuban music and Latin jazz. You start to hear it from the first seconds, and it's such a unique blend of these genres and his rich musical experience and vision. "1691" is full of different moods and echoes, and yet it is a really complete work. The album starts with the track "Unified Force" and ends with "Magic", those are two "new-agy", spiritual tracks where your mind just wants to drift on the soundwaves peacefully, but in-between you get a huge variety of compositions. Each one has its own unique story that needs to be heard. Some of the tracks on the album are more intense, like "Chomga", "3th of December" or "Pedritto", where suddenly you get sounds of slightly distorted trumpet or singing in Portuguese/gibberish, and other tracks with a more relaxed atmosphere, like "Jr. Pomidor" you can almost call Balearic. Also, can't forget to mention the great work of saxophone and flute player Slavik Ipatov who has recorded parts for tracks "Boss Latinoss", "Yog Cave" and "Pedritto".

The artwork for this record was made by an artist Alisa Gvozdeva, who's been working on previous Mårble releases a lot. On the back of the "1691" vinyl record cover, you will be able to see the drawing of the studio, thanks to which the recording of this album became possible.

"1691" is a truly great and unique album from start to finish, and we hope you'll enjoy it just like we do.

Johanna Knutsson’s ‘Somnis Vius’ (meaning ‘Vivid Dreams’ in Catalan) project materialised after a search for relaxing and meditative music proved fruitless, inspired to make her own selection she began to collect field recordings as she travelled. 

Comprised of natural soundscapes and forgotten gems in her record collection that she otherwise could not make use of in her usual Techno sets, the tape serves as a post-party comedown soundtrack as much as it does an aid to sleep or meditation.

C60 Tape with risograph printed sleeves, made with Technics 1210, CDJ 800 and RE20 Space Echo.
