Bien avant la téléréalité, Lee Harvey Oswald avait compris comment passer à la télé pour gagner rapidement en notoriété.
Ce morceau ainsi que sa face B, ne sont jamais sortis. On a voulu nous faire taire.

Something slightly different from me this time. Perhaps you can tell me how to catergorise it (be kind)? :-)

Phonica Premieres: Beesmunt - Soundsystem - Sensual Works [HONEY SOUNDSYSTEM]

@Roam-Recordings 38th release comes from Italian producer Luca ‘@DJ-Rocca’ Roccatagliati. Having previously released on Compost, Classic, Sonar Kollektiv, rekids, International Feel and currently working with Daniele Baldelli and Dimitri from Paris his impressive acid disco narratives were perfect for Roam Recordings.

The EP starts out with DJ Rocca’s original ‘Maccheroni’ - a stunning blend of jazz, latin rhythms, and analog melodies. Joining the EP for a remix is New York’s Eric ‘Dr Dunks’ Duncan (half of legendary DJ & production duo Rub n Tug & also half of DFA's 'Still Going).  The EP continues with ‘Aula’, another excellent original from the maestro DJ Rocca. ‘Aula’ keeps with the theme of blended jazz, latin rhythms, and analog melodies, but in a much more subtle stripped down fashion. 

We fell in love with Black Spuma's remix straight away though, the production duo of Lauer (Tuff City Kids/Talamanca System) and Fabrizio @Mammarella (Telespazio) who have a history of quality releases on labels such as Running Back, Beats in Space, Permanent Vacation, Rollerboys Recordings and International Feel. Together they rework Rocca’s ‘Aula’ into a head nodding house music for house people textured track with a body moving bass line. A superb addition to the strong cast already on this EP.

Release date:
20 April 2017

In late 2016, Thomas Gandey and Danny McLewin — known from the popular disco-influenced electronic music collective Psychemagik — emerged from their studio in London, England, claiming to have produced an extended musical arrangement, both entitled, and containing the sounds of, shakuhachi. Furthermore, they insisted, for the purposes of this production, and a further album of related arrangements to be released subsequently in conjunction with the successful German record label Kompakt, they should be referred to henceforth as Ghost Vision.

Shortly thereafter, the audio recordings described by Gandey and McLewin came into the possession of noted Los Angeles degenerate, DJ and nymphomaniac* (citation needed) Dirty Dave, who was quick to relay the hallucinatory qualities of the duo’s productions to fellow DJ and trusted hallucinogenic expert Paramida, of esteemed German musical imprint Love On The Rocks.

Paramida, recognising the innate quality of the sounds presented to her, decided that such recordings warranted immediate release through her audio distribution channel, and not without remixes. Quite without thinking of the Eastern origins of the instrument which had given the recording certain sonic distinguishments, and of course, its title, she enlisted the help of two musicians named Alex — one from Tokyo, and one from Kyoto.

Both Alex From Tokyo — the acclaimed producer of electronic sounds known for his prior releases on popular German label Innervisions — and his counterpart, Alex from Kyoto, better known as Al Kassian, rising Tamagotchi on Paramida’s Love On The Rocks imprint and his own label, Planet Sundae — turned in striking reinterpretations of Gandey and McLewin’s composition. It was reported that upon their arrival and first listening at Love On The Rocks headquarters, wild dancing broke out almost immediately and did not stop for 36 hours.

The resulting package of stereo recordings was finally released for public broadcast and manipulation by disc jockeys in early 2018, to much rejoicing, from England to LA, throughout Europe and Japan. It marked the first release for the label in their fourth year of operation, during which there is much more to come.

LOTR017 A2. Ghost Vision - Shakuhachi (Tokyo Black Star Atlantis Remix)

“In the mist of the night, a driver locks his rimmed glasses to his face, fasten his seatbelt and stomps his foot on the gas. An array of beams and city lights flow in a continuous spectrum that dissolves into lines as the car speeds up. It’s only a matter of time before his journey turns into a tunnel of light. Off he goes into the distance to test the space time continuum limits of speed and sound with aboard of his car only courage and humility.”  

For his first EP, Romain FX digs deep in his emotions to pull out four Italo & House infused tracks full of musical surprises.  

The first one reflects the constant speed his home city (Hong Kong) has to offer, the track invokes a dreamy sense of infinite travels and speed. 
The A2 called Kě Ài meaning cuteness starts off as a smooth melodic vibe and get’s more intense in emotions as the track develops, filled with smooth Juno pads and round Korg M1 bass line. 

His third track Fray has bit more of a dark heavy end but still has this signature switch of vibes throughout the track with some more jazzy vibes and surprising little vocals throughout the track. 

And to close of his first EP, Romain FX finishes with a full 90’s dream house track full of flutes to end the ride on a joyful note.
