For The Birds - Izzy Locke (PH002)

Our EP on CockTail D'Amore out now on vinyl and digital April 2022.

A1 - Phantom

It’s been more than a week since Russia has invaded Ukraine, destroying Ukrainian cities and shattering the lives of millions of people, whose world will never be the same again. The Ukrainian music and culture community is devastated by the shocking crimes of the Russian government. We wish for peace in our country above all, and we are doing everything in our power to support the people of Ukraine.

Right now It is most critical to raise funds for the Ukrainians bravely defending their country, and for those, who had to leave their homes behind. Therefore, Standard Deviation has joined forces with @Mystictrax — a Ukrainian label run by Lostlojic, for our most important release: РАЗОМ ЗА УКРАЇНУ / TOGETHER FOR UKRAINE — a compilation by 65 Ukrainian and International artists to be sold exclusively via Bandcamp. All profits from this release will be split between the following charity funds, supporting the people of Ukraine:

- The ‘Return Alive’ Fund, helping at the Ukrainian front 
- National Bank of Ukraine Fundraising Account for Humanitarian Assistance 
- ‘Ukraine Pride’ Fund for LGBTQIA+ soldiers and LGBTQIA+ people affected by the war
- ‘Голос Дітей’ Fund, helping children affected by the war

We would like to express special gratitude to all the artists who got involved, mastering engineers who helped supporting the project, Poly Chain and Omon Breaker, who co-curated the release while being in the midst of war, Wolfgang Tillmans for providing the artwork, Julia Crescitelli for her video art, Ivan Tsanko for providing the typography, Modern Matters for helping with the release.

We are sincerely grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to every soldier, every volunteer, every activist, every person who brings us closer to victory and freedom.

Bours? - File May Occur [BDd033]

Space Shift

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

Void Century

ALU Premiere: West Code - Flip The Mood [PC011]

A pulsing signal calling out leads to a small neglected synthesizer found in a dry meadow. It is excavated and turned on. The lights miraculously shine bright and melodies start to sing. The sounds resonate across the entire valley and rejuvenate all that surrounds.

Lost In Translation

une nouvelle version de ce trip hop que j'avais composé en 2022
 PAROLES
Tu restes
 Comme une parole interrompue
 
 A des années lumières
 Comme un cœur en hiver

A des années lumières
 Rien n’efface ton ombre
 Dans l’oubli rien n’est sombre
 Du joli nom d’amante
Ni le thé à la menthe
 Ni les lèvres mi-closes
 Ni le vase ni la rose
Ni la beauté du chant
 Ni le désenchantement

C’est comme si c’était hier
 Hier
 A des années-lumière

A des années-lumière
 Comme un oiseau qui chante
 Le cœur dans la tourmente
 Et moi qui m’impatiente
 Comme si c’était hier
 Hier

A des années-lumière
 D’étoiles la poussière
 Dans les grands yeux gris-verts
 Des enfants de la terre

Et nos mains sur la table
 Jouent au marchand de sable

 Tu restes
 Comme une parole interrompue
Comme les voix qui se sont tues

Dans l’oubli rien ne sombre
 Dans les années-lumière
Rien n’efface ton ombre
 Pour un cœur en hiver
 C’est comme si c’était…
 Hier
_______________________________________________________________
You stay
 Like an interrupted word

 Light years away
 Like an heart in winter

Light years away
 Nothing erases your shadow
 In oblivion nothing is dark
 The pretty name of a lover
Nor mint tea
 Nor half-closed lips
 Neither the vase nor the rose
Nor the beauty of singing
 Nor disenchantment

It's like it was yesterday
 Yesterday
 Light years away

Light years away
 Like a singing bird
 The heart in turmoil
 And I who get impatient
 As if it were yesterday
 Yesterday

Light years away
 From stars to dust
 In the big gray-green eyes
 Children of the Earth

And our hands on the table
 Play Sandman

 You stay
 Like an interrupted word
Like the voices that fell silent

In oblivion nothing sinks
 In the light years
Nothing erases your shadow
 For a heart in winter
 It's like it's...
 Yesterday

À Des Années - Lumière

/больно махать с пирона вслед/
drawn people wave to us
from the compartments - carriages

it's time for them

they draw promises - to come back..
and that they already miss you
that they are so sorry..

and on the glass of the heart
they write..
with paper with tears in their eyes

and then erase..

cold or sadness on their faces?

and it seems that they are yearning and suffering
but the train has started moving
and they forget..

drawn people wave to us
from the compartments - carriages

where?
where -
they will go now
so that our love does not burn out..

it doesn't matter to them -
where to draw feelings..
and then erase everything..
erase..

and forget...



нам машут нарисованные люди 
из купе - вагонов

им ехать надо

они рисуют обещания - вернуться ..
и что уже скучают
что им так жаль..

и на стекле сердцА 
выводят ..
с бумажными слезами на глазах

а потом стирают ..

на лицах их простуда или грусть

и будто бы тоскуют и страдают
но поезд тронулся
и забывают..

нам машут нарисованные люди
из купе - вагонов

куда 
куда
они теперь поедут
чтобы любовью нашей не сгореть

не важно

им - где чувства рисовать ..
и всё стирать
стирать

и забывать ...

trains.

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel  --MD—effected vocals
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, trippy synth
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and seed idea 
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began about half a year ago, as part of a three song set that Ken started with some really cool beats. Josh was first to the trough for here, laying in his fretless bass groove to complete the foundation and give it some tonal direction. Stephen came next and laid in the really trippy textural guitar that you hear throughout. JJ was next with his serious, no joke organ playing, which sets the mood for the whole thing. Last, but not least, Tez joined by adding some really cool accent guitar throughout.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so we tapped Stephen to do the honors on this.
  We had originally made this and the other two song with the intention of having The Mysterious Decibel and his friend Modes About Me sing on them. However, life got in the way, so we sat on them. Finally, MD let us know that he wasn't able to complete the project with us, much to everyone's, including his, disappointment. However, MD did lay down a rough vocal demo for us, which Stephen very ably processed to sound almost like another instrument in there. So, we're releasing this song as a tribute to them both, with gratitude, especially to MD for all the great work he's put in with us. If you're not familiar with either of them, do yourself a favor and check them out. Modes about me is at  @modesaboutme and the link to The Mysterious Decibel can be found in the link in the cast of characters above. 
  This is an example of what it sounds like when the whole band composes a song together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Skin & Wisdom is the followup to Mood Exhibit's world percussion album Vibrations Empowered Within.

- Every traditional culture throughout time has had its drum. Drums have been used for communication with mortals and immortals. Drums have been used to celebrate mortals and immortals. Across the globe, drumming has been part of the history of people both grounding themselves and transcending this world. With this shared history in mind, it becomes easier to imagine the possibilities of uniting cultures through drumming. Often, we think of differences when we consider various cultures, but drumming speaks to what joins us.

- Animal hides, such as those from a goat, sheep, or calf, were stretched over a frame or shell to create the earliest drum skins. These organic materials offered the endurance and resonance required for sound production. Drums were employed for signalling, communication, and religious rites in many ancient societies.

Hi!
I am experimenting with shorter ambient pieces at the moment. It is kinda strange to use so few ideas and sounds in a song, but these kind of challenges are pushing you to new territories you might never see otherwise. 

Expect to see a bunch of new music in this style so i can give you a whole list of music to sleep / chill / study to. : )

This is the 3rd of 3 album preview pieces for the album "above a darkness of earth." Our wish, with this piece and with the whole album, is to offer a calm, meditative piece to help towards a deepening connection with the earth and each other.

Thanks from the team, Henry Koek, Paulo Chagas, and myself, Wilhelm

Here is the poem that I wrote which inspired this music:
Hum, just above, a darkness of earth

River runs nearby,
gurgles and murmurs, 

sounds out 
under submerged tree trunks, 
pale and immersed in the flow.
Blackness of deep night 
has 
already settled here.

Still,
fine, serrated leaves whisper with the wind,
gently hover over darkness.

Stems from last year
still 
rise up,
Still,
connected to dark earth.

Purple blossoms, in rows of hearts
Still,
hum quietly 
to each other,
just 
above a darkness of earth.

Hum, just above a darkness of earth

studio n*2 [120bpm] w/Night Note

Hell Yeah series File Under Balearic Gabba continues its mission to bring some vital, previously digital-only Balearic Gabba weaponry to vinyl for the first time. This second volume has again artwork by Planet Luke and features Wallace next to new school stars SIRS and Pedro Bertho.

Tartan Records label head and British talent Wallace opens up with a remix of Sewell And The Gong's 'Better Words' that has been a real summer hit for label head Marco Gallerani.
The original came on Jason Boardman's fine Before I Die label and is one of those jams that transcends genre and wins over techno heads, Adriatic beach groovers and festival main stages alike. It is "proper Balearic Gabba" says Marco with its tropical percussion, humid pads and watery droplets all adding lush atmosphere to the dubby drums. The chords and reedy leads are beautifully delicate but get floors in a blissed-out, loved-up trance.

SIRS is an artist on fire right now and already impressed on this label with his remix of Aura Safari which is one of the year's standout Balearic house jams. He has a new single on the way for Hell Yeah but first flips label mate My Friend Dario's 'Tellaro' into a wobbly, psyched-out dub disco and breakbeat chugger. The zippy synths and shimmering keys are underpinned with a taught bassline and playful vocals that bring great fun and irresistible party vibes to any set.

Hell Yeah mainstay Verdo then has his 'Boulevardier' remixed by Pedro Bertho, a rising talent from Brazil with a steamy South American style. This one is a modern beach classic that unites both young and old heads with its frayed analogue drums and snappy percussion joining the dots between 80s Chicago house, new age and Balearic with its big piano chords and phased bass all getting hands the air.
