Mist or Cloud EP - Magic Carpet

Yesterday, Tomorrow EP- Lost Palms

Gargantua EP- 3 Feet Deep Records

Emerging from the Bristol underground in original style, @r_amu proves definitively that three is the magic number with this head turning 3-tracker for Magic Carpet’s third record.

Mist Or Cloud on the A-side is pure alchemy, a soaring force majeure infused with graceful atmosphere. Best enjoyed at 10,000 feet! The B-side brings us back down into our bodies for two kinetic tracks that conduct raw energy and movement for the dancefloor. A stellar debut from a promising talent.

A - Mist Or Cloud
B1 - Mirrored Me
B2 - 2049 Rain

Ramu • Mist or Cloud EP [RIDE03]

Authenticity was hard to come by; the way they dressed, the way they talked, their opinions on everything — it was always the same. They mirrored one another, stealing the most interesting parts of culture, news and the arts and packaging it as their own opinions and thoughts. They'd never strived for originality; they barely knew themselves...

It's almost a year on since Lisbon imprint Magic Carpet took their first steps into the label world. Since their inaugural outing from Berlin-based producer Phyzikal Flex, they've added a second from Baby Rollén and now their on to lucky number three courtesy of Bristol's Ramu. Marking his debut EP, it's comprised of three tracks that call out to the dancefloor, working together elements of breakbeat, electro and jungle all wrapped up in dreamy atmospheres.

PREMIERE: Ramu - Mirrored Me [Magic Carpet]

Exclusive: Ramu - 2049 Rain

The third ride on Magic Carpet comes from Bristol-based Ramu – maybe naming himself after a river in New Guinea, maybe after a fizzy Japanese lemonade or a small village in Bangladesh. As tempting and multifarious these options are Ramu's Magic Carpet debut musically takes the same line: it's a bit of Breakbeat, a whiff of Electro and Jungle, but it is not a mishmash or arbitrariness. It's simply music in its pure- and rawness with three different approaches to it merged in this three tracker. Three however seems to be the magic number for this release – three tracks and the third Magic Carpet ride. The B2, 2049 Rain, is – in defiance of the speculations regarding Ramu's artist name at the beginning – hinting at the eponymous track from the Blade Runner movie. Unsurprisingly 2049 Rain starts as a rather minimalistically held approach with a dark and almost dystopian yet futuristic industrial tone that in the course of time softens. The latter is reached by Ramu adding spacey deep chords and a breakbeat-sequence which is partly enriched with little scratches and HipHop-esque vocals before modulated 8-bit sounds and the beforementioned chords cohere and take this one home – to the clubs where it belongs.

Ramu's EP Ride 03 will be released later this summer on Magic Carpet.

art:cast special | Ramu

After contributing the third ride on Magic Carpet, Bristol-based producer Ramu delivers the next art:cast for the special series or in other words: Joe, Ramu's real name, comes up with an hour packed with energetic music skillfully switching back and forth between House, Breaks, Piano Acid, Rave and wobbling UK Bass-influenced tracks. What feels and seemingly is a potpourri of various styles in combination results in a brilliantly merged sound-aesthetic that culminates in an blissful hour that urges one to dance. Like a heavy swell Ramu understands when to musically ease up and then again takes up pace to create points of friction in his art:cast. And if one does not miss the dancefloor after dedicating yourself to Ramu's music you've never loved the floor enough.
