Press Release
Open Unity is the debut EP release on Mesh from Leeds based artist Jinjé which is set to be released June 3rd 2021.

Jinjé, known as Lee Malcolm, heralds from Leeds in Yorkshire. That's where he spent his formative years helping sculpt the scene as a member of post-rock band turned live techno outfit, Vessels. With over a decade of experience under his belt this new project is a re-envisioned solo endeavour, one that clearly demonstrates a pedigree of experience on the touring circuit as well as love for club anchored experimentation.

The EP features a mixture of vibrant and inviting influences from across his wide musical tastes, it's Jinjé meets Mesh. This can be heard in the mystic choir like sounding vocal chops and techno stew of "Release in this Instance", and within the warping electro ballad 'Cinétique'. The release is further complemented by an energetic left-field pad and percs extravaganza "Too Young For Zorb". The final track covers ambient grounds with "Drone Alone". It's a befitting name which imbues a sense of calm into a transcendent landscape accompanied by faint chirping crickets and soft liturgical vocal chants.

The artwork for the EP has been made by James Lacy (Pointless Illustration James) and features a fitting aesthetic to the inner workings of Jinjés' mind.

Lead single 'Cinétique' features a video created by Lawrie Miller.

All tracks written, produced and mixed by Jinjé (Lee Malcolm)

Station 10 Review (Alva Noto Remodel)

Throne of Blood first met In Fields back in 2012 before taking over Room 3 at Fabric in London. After years of correspondence the stars finally aligned during lockdown and the AD EP took shape. Featuring three originals and a dancefloor focused remix from Deewee mainstays Each Other (Justin Strauss & Max Pask), the EP was mastered by NYC underground legend and My Rules boss, Justin Vandervolgen.

From In Fields: “I love music that is between places. That has a tension between two things that I don't attempt to resolve, just enjoy the tension. Between man and machine; a human hand detectable in the live instruments, mistakes and first-takes, but also very much made by machines. I like to let them both run and see which comes out on top. Music for the ears and the feet; that pleases you with constant surprises, but also has enough repetition to make you want to dance. Music for two audiences; that can stand alone to please one listener, but also can be lost in a thousand different listeners' nights in countless different sets and become five lost minutes of a much longer story, heard a thousand way by a thousand different people.”

We hope you get lost in it too...

AWE KID - BODY LOGIC - OUT APRIL 22 ON 2LP VINYL & DIGITAL

https://awekid.bandcamp.com/album/body-logic

Awe Kid explores ideas of trans-humanism, evolution and digital immortality on Body Logic, a fantastically lush new album for Atomnation. The immersive 10 track record plays with organic, breathing textures punctuated by moments of digital unrealness to result in an album permeated with a dream-like quality. This contrast is mirrored by the artwork from Portugal's acclaimed The Royal Studio.

Awe Kid is an alias of Sine Language Records co-founder Rick Parsons. It is the product of years spent exploring a multitude of different music. From early days in post-hardcore groups and on to a love of 90s Warp, electronic jazz and more experimental niches, the multi-instrumentalist has now settled on his own unique fusion of breaks, ambient and left-field dance music. This deft studio wizard mixes up melodic nostalgia with forward-thinking sound design using whatever he can get his hands on, from analog and modular hardware, to samplers, field recordings to digital techniques.

Says Parsons, “I love working with digital processes because you get these unexpected moments where you dial something in, that somehow takes on a tangible, organic form in the real world. Searching for these sweet spots was the motivation for the album, contrasting natural textures against synthetic elements, and finding ways to create something that feels like it exists outside of the computer.”

While the album pays homage to dance music traditions, such as the broken beat of title track 'Body Logic', and full-throttle breaks of 'Zenith', these are assimilated and repurposed to create something that defies genre categorization. The listener's journey is perfectly paced, with broody but uplifting cuts of electronica giving way to shimmering, celestial melodies, and dusty breakbeats emerging from dense layers of atmosphere, only for the mood to be reset with soothing, suspenseful synths and haunting vocal samples. Elsewhere, devastatingly emotional ambient is followed by punchy grooves and propulsive melodies to make for a real ride.

Awe Kid's Body Logic is an adventurous record that manages to move you emotionally, physically and mentally.

MEHMET ASLAN - GARDEN ft. VALENTINA MAGALETTI
https://orcd.co/planis007
'The Sun Is Parallel' album out 11 November 2022

Mehmet Aslan follows last year's Domo single with a return to Planisphere Editorial for a new single in collaboration with prolific percussionist & performer Valentina Magaletti. ‘Garden’ finds the polymath musicians in organic and pristine form, drawing from their own experimentations with the form as well as influences such as Mark Hollis and Talk Talk's most austere and compelling work.

Known for her work with Nicolas Jaar and Charles Hayward, as well as her more regular in celebrated British psych band Vanishing Twin, Magaletti’s impermeable technique provides the ideal, watertight structure for Aslan’s tumbling, psychedelia-tinted electronics. Nocturnal and almost noirish in texture, Garden’s sophisticated arrangement offers a tantalizing glimpse into the atmosphere of Aslan’s upcoming and much-awaited debut album 'The Sun Is Parallel', due on Planisphere Editorial later in November 2022.

Garden (feat. Valentina Magaletti)

Pronto

A dark, tense, and driving electronic track perfect for dystopian crime thrillers. A pounding kick drum and tense synths create an atmosphere of high stakes and surveillance.
