Mixed from St. Petersburg by @qwqwqwqwa

Новый микстейп записал для нас прямой наследник Гост Звук флейвы и современного звучания бейс-сцены Бристоля – петербургский продюсер Гриша qwqwqwqwa. 

Гриша работает в магазине виниловых пластинок Культура и по средам участвует в авторской передаче Staff Choice на @testfm_radio в компании селектора Shorlax и Kid Cope, куда они время от времени зовут гостей и рассказывают о неочевидных находках на полках магазина.

Следующий час Гриша проведет нас по тонкой эмоциональной линии через весь микс. Его созданный braindance-мир ходит ходуном от трека к треку и упирается в ещё неизданные работы qwqwqwqwa.

Мы рекомендуем вам познакомиться с двумя последними релизами Гриши и поддержать их. Первый из них это дебютный альбом Fashion Music For Scammers, который вышел в прошлом году на экспериментальном лейбле @ne-sm, а второй вышел в формате EP Low Priority в этом марте на французском лейбле @grid-records.

As Ki Oni, Chuck Soo-Hoo creates balmy soirees of bubbly minimalism and buzzy weightlessness. And while Ki Oni graced our 2020 Halloween compilation, his proper Geographic North debut `An Evening Stroll to the Garden Party` sees the L.A. resident and dublab delinquent bring two mini-magnum opuses that are rife with romance. Here, Ki Oni art directs an entire evening in a half-hour of moonlit mystique and lascivious luxury.

“Pergola” wanders and wades through an indulgent, glimmering din of gauze. As the sun begins to set, Ki Oni graciously takes your hand with his dear and deft touch, descending down the path to the scene of the sublime. There, melodies bloom and perfume on the scented scaffolding that towers toward the night sky. 

On “Ornamental Plants”, Ki Oni cultivates a cerebral conservatory of flourishing flora. A sweetly scented stream of saxophone, wind chimes, and other terrestrial trimmings blur in a warm fog. Elsewhere, curious wildlife traipse around like some enchanted dream sequence.

'An Evening Stroll to the Garden Party' delivers two side-long odes to the night, ultimately heightening Ki Oni’s place as a consummate charmer and melodious master of ceremonies.

Ki Oni - "Ornamental Plants"

"𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘈𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢, the first single from my upcoming album 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 is out today on all platforms via Leaving. You can listen to the single and pre-order the album via arushijain.bandcamp.com / leavingrecords.com

As you listen to the first track, I encourage you to picture yourself as the conductor of an extraordinary orchestra, where pink ink and weighted paper, fine needles and shiny brocade, buckets of water and oceans of buckets, hula hoops, and pom-poms all harmonize in composition. Now, picture yourself in an audience. Can you feel your body naturally attuning itself to the rustling of leaves in the wind, the gentle undulations of grass throughout the day, and the melodies of the birds residing in your backyard. You are the spectator to an orchestra of deer shaped clouds, of flora in a forest reflected on a lake surrounded by wheat, of bellows of air that coolly blow through your hair on a hot summer day. Whether you are the conductor, the musician, or the audience — imagine an orchestra 🍃 🎷 🦩 💦 🧶

𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 has been in the making since fall of 2022, so it feels special to begin sharing my inner world vision with all of you today. More on the album soon, it releases on March 29. I hope you enjoy listening to the first single ✨"

INSIDE THE DREAM (Remixed and remastered)

Improvisational psychedelic journeys recorded in Vilnius, Lithuania as part of Bunkersesh project.

Bunkersesh is an underground music project that was based in Vilnius, Lithuania 2022-2023 exploring the world of psychedelic atmosphere. The name bunkersesh comes from the location where this music community formed and created their musical haven - a real bunker in the centre of Vilnius. This is where musicians of different prisms found deep connection through the full spectrum of sonic creation, often exploring memories of ancient tradition, inevitable psychedelia, unsettling atmospheres - all expressed through a futuristic synthesis in the feel and groove of the music that finds them.

This was given to me by James Izzo (Thread) back in 1999. It is unclear as to which song or songs he has remixed by Pan Sonic (Panasonic back then).  RIP James, you're missed.

The closure of fabric has seen a reaction that has been completely humbling and overwhelming to all of us on the team here, from over 150,000 signing a petition of support to raising in excess of £300,000 in donations to help our legal fight. 

Support has come from every corner of the industry, with fundraising events at a number of different venues being held up and down the UK. This response perfectly encapsulates everything the electronic music community represents.

Both fabric Records and our artist led label Houndstooth decided a release that embodies this spirit would be a further powerful way to demonstrate the collective power of our community. We asked artists associated with both labels to donate a track to the cause, needing to act fast we gave a deadline of just 3 weeks in total, from inception to final master. The brief was simple, we asked for a previously unreleased track, either brand new or an alternative version of an old classic.

The response has been far greater than we could have ever anticipated, with an array of amazing artists delivering stunning tracks. Given this generosity every track that has been submitted is featured on the release, meaning an incredible 111 tracks make up the final running order, presented in alphabetical order.

Due to touring and time constraints many more artists could and would have like to have been involved, and we can’t give enough thanks to all the labels that have generously allowed their artists to contribute.

In the era of the playlist, this compilation represents a comprehensive overview of electronic music from the outer fringes of experimental explorations right through to music aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

Ahead of the court date which will determine the long term future of fabric nightclub we’d like to present this compilation as a document of this moment in time but also as the perfect embodiment of everything fabric is and stands for.

Conny Frischauf - Parapiri (Single Version)

Originally composed for livestreaming events during the ongoing lockdown of 2020, Felisha Ledesma presents two extended pieces as a debut album, “Sweet Hour”. Ledesma’s first full length release arrives after much experience in creating collaborative works with artists such as Isabella and Angelo Harmsworth, site-specific installations, and high-profile festival performances.

Both pieces were realized using a new software synthesizer, called “AMQR”, which Ledesma built for personal use in collaboration with Ess Mattisson. Contrary to many digitally-based compositions, a distinctly warm and organic palette pervades these recordings. An almost playful leisurely pace is employed, engaging the listener to listen deeper; the pieces gracefully evolve with special attention to subtle shifts in stereo field and sonic coloration.

The time-of-day titles illustrate the two distinct moods conveyed: "7:00 AM" integrates field recordings and a hardware modular synthesizer, taking the listener through a psycho-acoustic journey exploring various nooks and crannies of subdued auditory rivulets: perhaps a hidden woodland brook, a sunny glen, a crunchy gravel walkway. "2:00 AM" harkens to the memories of nightclubs, opening with a synthesized arpeggio which could lead into a dancefloor-ready stomper. But instead, Ledesma steps back, allowing the arpeggio to develop into an encompassing ASMR-like timbral massage. The two compositions are united in a slightly melancholic grasping for connection; are they unfolding or are they unraveling? Ledesma does not answer the question outright, but instead finds joy in superposition and sublimation - while creating a space for the listener to inhabit, to live in, and to re-connect.
