Jacques Satre b2b Candy raton @ GIMIC - 29 January 2025

All those spirits, those walks of life, all those sound journeys between worlds, between continents. Australian duo KXB is back at R.i.O., bringing a follow up to their first record “Areas of Uncertainty”, released in 2023. This time an exquisite collab. With filmmaker and vocalist Thrush, member of the feverish band Concentration. The duo from Melbourne, and the singer from Berlin bring a collection of tracks, dubs and versions - written and produced over the last two years with the tape format in mind. Inspired by fabled underground cassette labels like New Zealand-based late 1980ees/ early 1990ees sensation Xpressway and mixed continuously as a nod to 90s jungle bootleg mixtapes like the Yaman tapes by LTJ Bukem, DJ Hype, Randall, or Peshay. Distinctive vocalist Thrush travelled South, and spent two sweltering afternoons with KXB in Melbourne, doing free-spirited improvisations in the studio, that were later pieced together into the resulting album. 13 variations in sound, in which Thrush's lyrics explore chasmic spaces and energies common to both Germany and Australia. Her voice dances partly on trip hopping rhythms and indie-tronics, while technoid vibes, alternative house zones, and vivid trips into kosmische top the collaboration off. A piece of art formed by a clique of like-minded souls – gathered their walks of life between worlds into explorer music of unexplored districts.

This might be the perfect way to describe this new 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘴𝘱𝘢 crystallized by Da:mu.
Discovered on a sunlit afternoon at the very edge of France last summer, it quickly became clear that we wanted to invite him to be part of this project.

Born on World Music Day, Da:mu lives for sonic emotions deeply rooted in his body & mind.
As a co-founder of Öz (@ozcollective_), he shares a vision of free-spirited & colorful celebrations, embracing rhythmic journeys and unexpected mystical flights.
He is also one half of the rock’n trance-infused project Yland Sunr:ders with his accomplice diafan (@me_diafan), which resides on the imaginary utopia Ybyzär.

From the desire to (re)bring certain musical genres and universes into the spotlight, here is one of them, which we have the sublime pleasure of unveiling to you.

we let you dive:in Da:mu

Minou is a dj you need to get to know.

Playing here live for her recent Sirênes curated experience..... Lush grooves are abundant... Laced with some psychedelia and a pinch of acid for complete sense euphoria.

Respect.

The duo Jolie Gentiane come to us straight from a wild and unpredictable mountain peak, a perched place far from civilization, where the beauty and cruelty of mother nature reign but harmonize the elements. 
They walk the high, steep paths, looking down on the chaotic and industrial world. This increasingly smoky world, which, from the top of the mountains, looks metamorphosing dangeroulsy, but would only need a few changes to make it less crazy. 
Or perhaps infinitely more so.
Jolie Gentiane is a skilful concoction of sound and daring. Unclassifiable, impalpable, the contemporary embracing the tradition and the acoustic swinging with the electronics. 
Autotuned/vocoderized vocals, 4th world, kitsch sax, psychedelic arpeggios, acoustic guitar, kinda techno, it's all there: the story told by Jolie Gentiane on this album is rich and complete. Nature, love, celebration, struggle, work. Yes, even work. 
Because the energy deployed to create this album was surreal, patient, extremely methodical, and the abnegation of the protagonists has been vertiginous: the cliff of the highest peak is finally climbed. 
This album is like an ode to the earth, to the respect we owe it, an ode also to music in its purest essence, that which does not confine itself to borders, but shout for federation, dance and uprising.

Dâdalus & Bikarus are Benedikt Merz (Vox, Synths, Electronics) & David Hänni (Bass, Electronics).

'Off the Shelf' is the latest work by Dâdalus & Bikarus. Seven tracks driven by the exploration into analog machines and hyperrealistic sound collages. Holding back to the roots of the project, their sound approach features krautrock repetition, trip hop rhythms and punk territories.

The album was created around moments of personal transformation into a world of mystical meaning.
