Following the success of Azu Tiwaline’s Subconscience remix, we welcome Davis Galvin, Flug 8 and Symmol to remix trance-inducing (The) Rooted Sky by Wave Arising.

We are pleased to welcome Tunisia & France based artist Azu Tiwaline, who takes the ever-so-delicate Subconscience, and adds a driving four-on-the-floor groove. Azu turns it into a full energetic, dirty techno workout! Pulsating drum rhythms, scattered percussion, and ethereal vocal atmospheres transform the track from a transcendental journey of life force, into a club-infused trip into the rave!

Next up, the eclectic Pittsburgh-based artist Davis Galvin, takes on Electric Shrine. Already an ambient ensemble, Galvin takes us to a higher level of ambience - with a much slower, more meditative approach, the result being an 11-minute ruminative piece.

Long-time R$N ally, Flug 8, based in Denmark, takes us on an outer-space journey with a Linndrum-esque drum machine keeping the groove in his remix of It Comes and Goes. The original, being a slightly disconcerting ambient exploration, has been reworked into a signature Flug 8 space-infused track.

Manchester based artist Symmol and team member of the R$N label takes apart hypnotic Monin Yiri and reconstructs it in his own unique IDM-infused picture. Starting the track as a minimal affair, Symmol allows this reimagination to slowly grow with ethereal, guitar-like tones Radiohead could only dream of! Scattered percussion and drum elements keep the groove nodding along in an entrancing almost trip-hop-inspired manner.

Wave Arising - (The) Rooted Sky Remix [R$N42R]

https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/MirageEP

Ransom Note Records are delighted to announce the debut EP from mysterious new artist, Double Body. They have bestowed upon us four scuzzy, Lo-Fi dance floor destroyers that brim with hypnotic patterns and mesmerising, looped samples. On remix duties, we’re over the moon to welcome Justine Forever to the fold. As longtime fans of her music, we’ve wanted her onboard for some time and she doesn’t disappoint here, turning the bounce factor and squelchy House sounds up to eleven.

Eponymous track Mirage sets off at a roaring pace, right out of the gate. Heavily processed 808s lead the way, with a slightly disconcerting vocal punctuating the rhythm and bass attack here and there. Inducing a threatening air of menace, this is one for the latest of late night discotheques.

Hallucination is a natural corollary, opening with the same era of vintage drum machines and unnerving synth lines. However, it morphs into a rapturous club stomper, thanks to a sanguine choir of chants. This joyful ensemble lifts us heavenwards, evoking past ritualistic places of reverence.

Dropping the pace a little, Apparition takes us in a new direction, with some celestial synth work and larger than large reverbs. Double Body’s inimitable vocal sample editing returns, with bursts of humanoid oral syllables underscoring the ethereal synth soundscape stretching out before us.

Rounding off, the aforementioned underground legend Justine Forever remixes title track Mirage, transforming it into a straight up House banger! The menacing atmosphere of the original is juxtaposed by a bouncing bass line, EBM-like drum patterns and Italo melodies, challenging you to not bust your finest angular moves on the floor.

Double Body - Mirage EP [R$N47]

https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/StrappedOutEP

Ransom Note Records are psyched to welcome the mighty Rupert Cross back to the fold with a brand, spanking new record, in the form of Strapped Out EP. Featuring the inimitable vocal talents of R$N stalwart & interdisciplinary creator C.A.R., Cross and Raunet have supplied an assemblage of devastatingly raucous tracks that will have you bouncing off the walls, floors, ceilings and fellow club goers corporeal bodies.

Eponymous track Strapped Out is first out of the gate, immediately setting the scene. Mechanical polyrhythms intertwine, falling into an automatic groove of impulsive contortions. In juxtaposition, C.A.R. lends some humanity to proceedings with a vocal performance that seems cooly spontaneous, but a little investigation reveals Chloe’s trademark lyrical wisdom. Fair weather dancers beware!

Next up, Blue Line takes some of the same ingredients, but adds a pinch of Moroder (if he was a Goth) and a generous splash of Post-Punk riotousness. A rolling, Disco Chuggathon, its slight melancholy creates an addictive listening experience. Best enjoyed poured over a 3am dance floor in a sweaty, low ceilinged club.

Pepper provides some respite from the machine funk onslaught.. but only slightly. A lethal stab of bass lunges forth from the speakers and collides with the solar plexus. Once we regain our breathe, we realise that we’re immersed in an anxiety tank, with dissonant, staccato plinks and plonks darting back and forth between ours ears. The feeling of existential suffocation has never been so pleasantly welcome.

Dreamland, Dreamland’s warpy warpy intro prefaces a jolly excursion into a theme park for machines. Fun and levity are on offer in abundance, but all must conform to the mechanical overlords. Stepping outside of the strictly gridded lines is forbidden, as we bowl along the automaton highway, greedily imbibing everything on offer.

Lastly Miles Vandersteen remixes Strapped Out, somehow upping the J.G. Ballard vibes with distorted, metallic blasts & rote drum patterns. If the original was built with the purpose of obliterating the dance floor, then this extended version aims to take down the whole club and the surrounding buildings to boot. A weapon of truly epic proportions, this is a timely reminder that humanity should consider carefully what munitions we choose to develop. “Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds”.

Rupert Cross - Strapped Out EP [R$N48]

https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/Skynet

German electronic music producer Daniel Herrmann, better known as Flug 8, announces his fourth album on Ransom Note Records, 'Skynet' - a minimalist electronic meditation on societal contradictions created during the pandemic era. 

Recorded in Germany's Taunus Studio before Herrmann's relocation to Denmark, 'Skynet' represents a deliberate step towards stripped-back production methods. Working with just a drum machine and an analogue synthesiser, he crafted each track with an intentional focus on essential elements before carefully layering intricate additional aural textures over it. 

The album emerged from Herrmann's observations of systemic inconsistencies during the global covid lockdown period. While not explicitly political, Skynet channels these observations into compelling electronic compositions that invite listeners to draw their own conclusions. 

“I felt the need to do something critical of the system. For me it was more about reflecting on a number of inconsistencies of that time, juxtaposing them as counterpoints and in this way getting inspiration for the respective pieces.” 

The project benefits from the masterful touch of renowned producer Jörn Elling Wuttke, who handled the mastering duties. Elling Wuttke was one half of the amazing The Primitive Painter with Roman Flugel whose self-titled 1994 lost classic album of sonorous IDM got a fitting reissue on Apollo a few years back. Further, Biotech features collaborative vocals from biologist turned singer, Hans Trapp.

Skynet marks a significant milestone in Flug 8's discography, serving as his final album produced in Germany before embarking on a new chapter in Denmark. The result is a powerful bookend, a goodbye to time’s past and a testament to the ability of music to process and reflect upon challenging times.

Following up on the runaway success of his Dream The Dream compilation, Richard Sen returns with a dance floor focussed interpretation of Mind Over Rhythm - Kubital Footstorm.  In his own words: “This is a progressive breakbeat version and I tried to keep the original 90s vibe to it, but add my own personality. Because there were no separate parts available to use, I had to take samples of audio from the finished original. I added my own synth sounds and drums so it became a proper remix, rather than just edits.”
Dropping just in time for festival season, this dance floor stomper is undoubtedly going too soundtrack the summer!

Mind Over Rhythm - Kubital Footstorm (Richard Sen Remix)

Following up on the runaway success of his Dream The Dream compilation, Richard Sen returns with three dance floor focussed interpretations of tracks from the record. 

In his own words: “With the remixes, I took 3 quite different styled tracks, UVX (trance), Bandulu (percussive ambient) and Mind Over Rhythm (progressive breakbeat) and tried to keep the original 90s vibe to them but add my own personality. 

Because there were no separate parts available to use, I had to take samples of audio from the finished originals. I added my own synth sounds and drums where necessary so they became remixes, rather than just edits.”

Dropping just in time for festival season, these variations are undoubtedly going too sound track the summer!

Biotech, the lead single from Flug 8’s upcoming Skynet LP releasing in April, is a methodical & entrancing acid techno anthem featuring guest vocals from Hans Trapp. Looping 303 motifs & resonant drones work hand in hand with driving percs & filtered basslines to showcase the stripped back approach taken to the production of Skynet, with only a drum machine & analog synth, focusing first on the bare essentials

Flug 8 - Biotech [R$N49]

Following the contemplative explorations of previous works in the series and hot on the heels of the beautiful Cosmos from E Ruscha, Stella Z's "Figs" emerges as a delicate meditation on growth, patience, and the hidden life of fruit.

Ransom Note Records are over the moon to welcome illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub to the fold for the debut 12” vinyl release with us, Tears Maker Chant. Head honchos of the wonderful Delodio label, Stéphane and François, mark the 50th release for R$N Recs, and this is without a shadow of a doubt an incredibly special one for us. So, sit back and ready yourself for some inimitable Froid Dub cuts; laid back but pounding, graceful yet aggressive but above all, thoroughly danceable.

First single On The Nose enters next, with a delightfully soft, round bass that feels like bouncing around a padded room. Inside a Zorb. On MDMA. More echoed, analogue motifs dart from left to right, confirming with strong conviction that our chaps from Paris put the Dub in Indubitably Fantastic.

Second single Control (Special Mix) opens side B… with a capital B. For Banger. Another Space Echo heavy workout in the lower frequencies of the audio spectrum, this is testament to the old adage that less is often, a hell of a lot more (to paraphrase).

Control (Special Mix)

FROID DUB - Control (Special Mix)

Only one week to wait until the Mother of Mars remix EP! Six brand new versions designed to pull the epic kosmische drift of 'Seed 2 Sky' into some strange shapes.

Today we're premiering a remix by @esso-ess - the recording project composed of Chris Stoker [Bad Passion] and the excellent Jamie Blanco who's released for the likes of Futureboogie. Their version of 'Seed 2 Sky' takes its inspiration from the warmth and throb of Kraftwerk’s motorway music and reimagines it set in the stars, creating a pulsating mix that’s best heard while travelling the vast arteries of an unknown life form.

PREMIERE: Mother of Mars - Seed 2 Sky (Ess O Ess' No Wobble Cuts Remix)

If you've never heard of @annalann before, consider this your long-overdue introduction. The Latvian-born, Tel Aviv-based artist makes wildly experimental pop that's heavily informed by underground dance music. So naturally we saw fit to pair her up with R$N Records star @c_a_r for a special release...

Today we're putting out a 'Cholera Reinterpretations' package, which features Anna taking on her favourite track from C.A.R.'s new album 'PINNED'. And what's more, you can download both remixes for free via the link above. Don't say we're not good to you!

The 'Runway Edition' plays host to Anna's own vocals, and was recently featured as the soundtrack to Gal Shenfeld's spring/summer collection 'Heroes' at Tel Aviv Fashion Week 2018.

Anna is also a talented director and visual artist, and we're looking forward to working together on some exciting releases later in the year. Stay locked for more details.

Bawrut - I Hear Voices

Back in February, @c_a_r aka Chloé Raunet released her second album to huge acclaim from the likes of DJ Mag, Resident Advisor and Trax Magazine. With Raunet taking on the mantle of producer, singer and songwriter, 'PINNED' refined her palette of glimmering electronics and post-punk angles over 11 tracks of hazy, claustrophobic synth pop. 

Chloé has been hard at work on the follow-up ever since, and we’re delighted to be putting out her third album next year. Before we get ahead of ourselves though, there’s a special Xmas treat in the form of the final single to be taken from 'PINNED'. Possibly our favourite track on the album, ‘Flat Out at the Sockhop’ has been one of the highlights of the C.A.R. live show this year, and now it gets the much-deserved video treatment. 

The B-side is a new track, one of C.A.R.’s most desolate synth landscapes. “‘All But…’ was written on a long winter night towards the end of the year”, Chloé explains. “’Tis the season of over-indulgent emotions - counter-festive, brooding & melancholic. Woolly and woven, strings pluck and pull their way through a druggy fabric, all overlaid with dreamy, musing vocals.” 

Even the harshest winter eventually comes to pass, and the ice finally thaws with @manfredas' rather special dancefloor remix of ‘Daughters’ - a perfect aural representation of losing yourself in pulsing colours and beams of light.

Out 27th March 2019 - ransom-note-records.lnk.to/CrossingPriorStreet

@C_A_R’s new album ‘Crossing Prior Street’ merges gritty dance music with esoteric pop, telling the story of escaping a broken childhood in Vancouver, and finding her way to the lonely streets of East London, at the tender age of 16. Endorsement of the personal journey, it’s an album dedicated to restlessness; a mechanism for tackling unresolved conflict, with others and within herself.
