Purity Ring's "Shrines" is a sounding board of this passing Summer; perhaps more a Ouija board in fact. I've been listening with curious ears, and fell into a remix of Cartographist. I do hope you enjoy this terrible perversion of their lullingbyes into a more brooding and ominous clouding. Uping tempo.

A child agrees then screams the name. Kid-o-suke. Did you hear that right? The music trickles in. It sounds like it was made in a toy factory. Hold on. Let me reach for the button over there. Childhood memories. The magical sounds of a roundabout sending you to sleep. The wonders of the world seen through eyes that don't yet fully comprehend and ears that find musical potential in everything. Two kindred souls find each other, distance never the issue, they share and laugh the only way they know how.

The wonderful pixelated world of a video game. Where does reality end and where does the imagination start? Somewhere in the distance an explosion can be heard, or was it a booming bass drum? There are birds singing a crystalline melody. One I heard before, in a dream perhaps. All of a sudden a child exclaims ‘come, let’s go’. Where did he come from? Is he real or another pixelated fragment of imagination?

Yokatta desu. There's a castle in the sky. Two boys team up to reach it, carried by the power of their dreams. The same dreams that marked their childhood and brought them to be men. If ever there was music worthy of becoming the soundtrack to a Ghibli movie this could be it. There’s a girl asleep on a plastic deer, going around and around. She reminds me of the hand drawn versions of the pixelated heroes of my childhood. I imagine her dreams filled with exciting adventures.

I swear I heard the sounds of Tokyo’s public transport. It told me we’d arrived at Shibuya yet I can't see the neon bright lights when I look around. Oh well, I'll just have to imagine them.

It's an album, so of course it’s real. The music is the result of a desire to create regardless of outcome, for the simple fact that there is a story to tell. People will consume it whichever way they want. Is it this sound or that sound? Does it really matter? Stop for a minute and enjoy the music for what it is. A synthesis of two aesthetics joined not just by a love of music but also a love of the abstract and the childish, the things that remind us we were all young one day and things were simpler. Things like dancing as if no one was looking or making music as if the outcome never mattered. 

Kidsuke is a collaborative project between the UK’s Kidkanevil and Japan’s Daisuke Tanabe. Their self-titled debut is released by Project Mooncircle in November 2012 on double colored vinyl LP and digital.

Holdin On

Silliness's Sake. From Los Angeles with Love. A little cursing - but cribbed from a good source, if you must. This one is not romantic... 

Ain't No Juke

Throwing Snow
‘Aspera’
December 3rd 2012
Snowfall

Having minted his Snowfall imprint with the acclaimed ‘Clamor’ EP earlier this year, Ross Tones aka Throwing Snow returns on December 3rd for his second EP of 2012, the eagerly awaited ‘Aspera’. As with its predecessor, the title comes laced with Latin rhetoric: “Aspera” translating as “to make rough”, providing an apt description for the aesthetic of the four original tracks on offer. 

From the title track Tones' creative direction is clearly displayed. Hinging round a warming bass, coarse stripped back drums accompany frosty arpeggios and washed out synths atop a bed of hidden strings, whilst on ‘Melum’ flickering percussion, ethereal guitars and throbbing melodic jabs combine with Throwing Snow’s trademark distortion, culminating in an unexpected segment of footwork punctuating the track’s expansive growth.

‘Lingerwell’ sees four knackered piano chords wrapped in warm crackles and hypnotic atmospherics blooming into life with a burst of pulsating stabs, before ‘Behest’ closes the EP with a climactic slugging match of drowned drums, throbbing bass and ecclesiastical synths, and a drop to make even the most atheistic of us think again.

Snowfall is now two releases strong, and having set out with an honest mission statement we are left highly anticipating what will surface next.

Aspera

Stereo Typing is the sum of the parts of a journey. Giovanni Civitenga, aka My Dry Wet Mess, composed his forthcoming album for Brainfeeder over a 15 month period (November ‘10 through January ‘12), between Barcelona and Berlin, in four different houses. And out of the many changes and different chapters, comes a densely layered body of work that - despite being a product of transition - stands as his most grounded and resolved work yet. 

The title derived, My Dry Wet Mess explains, “from the concept of typing for the stereo field, as in writing narration through sounds. Writing a story as a writer would do, but using sounds instead of words.” The 14 album tracks use live instrumentation, tweaked samples, slap-bass riffs, slanted beats and winding melodies to form playful narratives and plot shifts, leading the listener to places completely unexpected, and unknown. Twists and turns abound, each track is a journey in itself, at times traversing through intertwining synth lines in a buoyant underwater bassbin, other points diverting into R&B-sampled scifi wonderlands, filled with otherworldly sounds conversing. The album ends on sensory bliss, with the sublime "Prismas" and the daydream-inducing "Youth Reboot". 

Though his living situation changed throughout the album’s formation, there’s a inherent sense of family and home in the LP. His father plays guitar, Gianluca Pellegrino (an old friend and regular collaborator) plays various electric guitar parts, and his good friend in New York, Maryam Modarressi, sings on two songs, and her sampled voice makes an appearance throughout the album. The artwork was also created by his close conspirator, Berlin based illustrator Elliot Beaumont, a homage to one of MDWM’s favorite painters, De Chirico. “It's got this hard to define quality to it, a sense of "future nostalgia" that I love and that I find extremely appropriate for my music and the ideas behind it.”

Jason Burns & Brent Still Life - Right Here EP (SMBL013)
Release Date: December 4th, 2012

01. Jason Burns - Lightning ft. Reva DeVito
02. Brent Still Life - I Could Blame You
03. Jason Burns & Brent Still Life - Right Here
04. Jason Burns & Brent Still Life - Ain't Nobody Do It
05. Jason Burns & Brent Still Life - Right Here (We Sink Remix)

Jason Burns & Brent Still Life have both been pushing the deeper, soulful club sounds for years now so it was only a matter of time they collaborated on a release together. Consisting of one solo track each, two collaborations and one remix from We Sink for a well rounded release of bass music. "Lightning", featuring Reva DeVito, is a bouncy, catchy blend of garage and house. Brent's "I Could Blame You" takes on some deep half-time synth vibes. The two collaborations are a must for anyone into subtle trap-influenced beats with a more melodic and soulful vibe. Finally, We Sink are back with a unique remix of "Right Here" that only they can do.

Hermitude - HyperParadise (Flume Remix)

Remix i did for my bon ami Xavier of "Ouest Wind Seagulls" from his amazing LP "On The Horizon" on Civil Music.

"Visionary prog-hop escapades open the proceedings, Spanish beat scientist Mwëslee (All City / Kindred Spirits / Rush Hour) chose to revise the haunting synth-scape of 'Ouest Wind’s Seagulls'. 

His ultra-slick synth-boogie abstraction is one for the heads. Club heavy hip-hop that fans of Rustie or Dorian Concept should jump on. Neck-snapping, bass-driven sound design, wild leads, supremely executed melodic awareness and marching glitching snare workouts make this something special"
