For Geotact's second outing Fiesta Soundsystem brings six tracks of eerie, densely knotted rhythmic mutations, spanning barrelling 4x4 right down to amorphous textural fluctuations.

“In an eternal instant the illusion of time dissolves. Distant memories and imminent reminders of a world without boundaries, a mass of humanity lost and found in the flickering light of the inferno.”

CR006: COMMUNAL

A multifaceted, internationally spanning project bringing together 10 of the worlds most exciting, independent record labels and DJs. Officially fusing a multitude of entities together on a single project to embrace and uplift each other in a world seemingly more fractured than ever.

Initially derived from the concept of ‘bootlegging’ the key focus of the project was to explore how different labels could co-exist and compliment one and other through visual identities and musical outputs. Bootleg culture allows for unexpected and exciting results to be birthed due to its subversive, illicit nature. Embodying this ethos with blessing from the contributing labels has allowed for a progressive crossroads of creativity to come to fruition, whilst financially supporting and platforming independent creators.

COMPILATION
 Each of the labels involved offered a selection of artists and releases from their roster to work on the project. Tracks were pooled together from each label and selected by artists from other labels to be bootlegged using only the original track to work from. The practice of bootlegging music is age old within dance music, and this compilation sees artists from around the world dismantling and reconstructing partnering labels music in their own vernacular. The compilation spans 17 tracks and sees some of the global scene’s most interesting DJs venture into new musical territories working on a contrast of genres.

Communal

1. Clouds - Another Day (Plata Bootleg)

Millie & Andrea are Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, fellow labelmates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12” releases between 2008 and 2010. It’s been four years since we last heard from them but they now return with “Drop The Vowels”, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013 / early 2014, it’s an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of Anthony Shakir as much as it does Leila’s incredible debut ‘Like Weather’, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favour of something much more visceral. It’s an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalised, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response.

Opener GIF RIFF brings to life a Gamelan edit stripped bare before the over-compressed ‘Stay Ugly’ breaks out with a tumbling, broken arrangement situated somewhere between Richard D James and Jai Paul. “Temper Tantrum” and “Spectral Source” follow, versions of tracks originally released on the second and third Daphne EP’s respectively, the former a rugged rave anthem tempered by blue strings, the latter a proper dancefloor destroyer recalling Shake’s mighty ‘Madmen’. ‘Corrosive’ flits between a fillibrating, arpeggiated steppers rhythm and a brutal jungle breakdown, while ‘Drop The Vowels’ further explores and strips bare bass & drums before the slow but jacking warehouse killer “Back Down” provides pure percussive abandon. Quay ends the set with something quieter, a sublime coda made entirely from field recordings.
