Part I - Ghosts (Cinematic Mix)

Visual Collaboration with Mako Miyamoto
http://www.makomiyamoto.com/

Lyrics
You've confessed all you had to do
Youth possessed out of fear that they never had to lose
Are we changing I need you to say that
Tomorrow we're safe from our yesterday

Who are the Ghosts watching over us
Who do we follow when we're lost and we've had enough
Who are the Ghosts watching all of us
Who do we call to know we're not here alone in the dark

Pluto - Scatter Plot (CMD-Z)

Since Four Triangles was founded by https://soundcloud.com/asok-four-triangles to release material from previously unheralded artists working in the space between house, techno and vintage rave, it seems fitting that the label’s second release should come from an analogue explorer still making his way in the world. You may have stumbled across @jonasfriedlich ’s debut solo 12”, a thrillingly forthright collection of hardware workouts that slipped out, unheralded, on Molten Moods late last year. Title track “Smartphonejungle”, where short bursts of junglist energy puncture another intoxicating, post-apocalyptic throb-job. It’s acid, but not as we know it.

Molten Moods 4
Catalogue Number: Molten 4

A1: Kessel Vale - Voguing Geisha
A2: Skee Mask feat. Jonas Yamer - Fanta Ocean
B1: Konrad Wehrmeister - Xenomorph
B2: Jonas Yamer - Insgeheim

12" vinyl: www.moltenmoods.de
Digital: https://moltenmoods.bandcamp.com/album/molten-moods-4

Molten Moods releases another finely curated various artists record with tracks by Skee Mask, Kessel Vale, Jonas Yamer and Konrad Wehrmeister. Kessel Vales opening track "Voguing Geisha" is an unconventional breakbeat masterpiece following his sense of harmony and rhythm already shown through previous releases on Tanstaafl Records and Rhythm Nation. As the track unfolds it reveals musical storytelling by integrating a technoid polyrhythmic loop structure into melodic synth figures, slowly deconstructing in the end. Skee Mask collaborated with Molten Moods labelhead and Carl Gari member Jonas Yamer on "Fanta Ocean", it being the first release outside of his Ilian Tape homebase. The outcome is a moody IDM piece with cinematic qualities, complex but soothing. The B-Side begins with "Xenomorph" by Konrad Wehrmeister, who is known by his releases on Public Possession and SVS Records. This trancy yet distorted and detailed electro banger surely takes on the role of the records dancefloor highlight. The closing track "Insgeheim" is delivered by Molten Moods head honcho Jonas Yamer. Here groovy kicks, distorted chords and a psychedelic pad are woven into one compelling 10 am techno track. The common thread of Molten Moods 4 is four young Munich artists going on a joint trip into idiosyncratic electronic music. The resulting tracks intertwine as one modern and diverse techno record. Out on 12" vinyl and wav by the end of March 2018. Mastered by Manmade. In the tradition of Molten Moods' cost-conscious design strategies by Paul Bernhard, the record comes with a xeroxed low budget sticker set.

Pursuit

The Waves

Cleveland is forever in search of the brown note. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. Side A’s 'Tusk' is a beautiful paradox—rhythm programs that churn like the inner workings of a grandfather clock, unmistakably mechanical, yet fashioned through muted analogue instrumentation that paints a deceptively organic picture. The crystallized jangle of FM synth voices toy with the softened drum patterns and vibrant animal-like chord gestures over nearly seven minutes of splendor. On side B, 'Aku' digs further into mysticism, manifesting digital jungle themes, cleverly abstracted through erratic bleeps, distant tribal drums, atonal flutters and synthetic bird calls. The cinematic quality of Clevelands production shines through both tracks, but its 'Aku' that sweeps us from reality to embark on a moonlit expedition in search long lost treasures, proving Cleveland a virtuoso skilled in building complex narratives with sound. These two songs will modulate your frequencies.

Available on 12" & Digital
https://captainover.bandcamp.com/album/no-one-ever-really-flies

Next up on the ever-eclectic XVI Records, a shadowy figure steps into the spotlight: enter the mysterious Captain Over, whose dark yet soulful bruk-infused tracks soundtrack the next stage of their voyage towards the sun.  For his debut outing, Captain Over calls on the abstract vocal stylings of the legendary Trim (Roll Deep, 1800 Dinosaur) on opening track ‘SICK’. 

Showcasing why he’s one of the most iconic and forward-thinking MC’s to grace the mic, Trim’s dulcet tones twist through a jungle of shuffled beats and subterranean sub-bass, an eerie child-like melody drifting overhead.

Sequrity

from the debut album, 'Bad Contestant', out June 8th http://lnk.to/badcontestant

dead girl got her face up to the sky now, 
sunk on the street curb it’s a bad town

new things to cry about everyday, hey
this is the city of a million pints and pain

grim reaper finally arrives
guess there always is an end to amusement rides

I heard a line in a movie last night go
no one wants to hear your misery, they’ve got their own

alive girl on a bike riding 51
she never saw the truck coming it’s a cruel town

but somebody’s gotta die every day right
peacetime calls for a human sacrifice

night comes there’s light in the trees
guess there always is a moon no matter who’s deceased

I made a note to myself on my telephone
no one wants to hear your misery, they’ve got their own

misery
