Galcher Lustwerk - Plainview

Vossi Bop

Released: Friday 4th October

"When i came up with the concept for my album i knew that i needed one really euphoric track in the first half of the record to propel the LP forwards. When I heard the original vocal by Alyss i knew that it was perfect for what I wanted. The production of her voice was psychedelic and the lyrics fit perfectly with things i what i wanted the record to say. So I locked myself down in the studio for an afternoon and started tinkering with using the vocal for my own track. Once I got going it just all came out in one burst.

I couldn’t believe it because I had been working quite slowly up until this point. So I thought the way to double check that what I had done was good was to go for a drive and listen to it.
So i put the demo on my phone and drove around the winding coastal road near my house, making mental notes on how it felt as I drove. Driving this road through the bush, around the mountains and cliffs I could hear everything that needed to happen in the track. I rushed home, made the changes and then got in the car again. I repeated this for hours, driving this crazy road away from my house, then back again to make the changes I could hear in my head.

By the end of the day the whole track was done. It sat on the shelf for a long time while I did the rest of the album, as I started to add more drums to the other tracks I started thinking that this one too might need something more. So we recorded drums, then i contacted Alyss and got her to try out some more vocal ideas and the track moved further away from what I had intended it to be. It wasn't until I had the whole album finished that I realised the original version was the truest realisation of the idea. So in a way it was the first and last piece of the album puzzle."

Listen to all tracks from ‘Oderbruch’ in full at @Hypem https://hypem.com/premiere/shed

The fifth studio album by @Shedofficial aka René Pawlowitz centers thematically on the Oderbruch region in former East Germany where the producer and DJ grew up and continues to split his time (when not in Berlin.) Both the album and track titles as well as the artwork by Arnim Tölke [Ectoplasma (Oderbruch)] reflect Pawlowitz’s deeply personal associations with the borderland’s marshy landscape, as well as enormous political and historical changes the region underwent as the last Eastern front during World War II – and, later, following the dissolution of the GDR.

The nine tracks on ‘Oderbruch’ are inspired by the intertwined nature of the subjective and historical, which ring through Shed’s idiosyncratic take on breaks, bass, techno, symphonic ventures, ambient and hardcore. But unlike Shed’s previous records, ‘Oderbruch’ incorporates broad pastoral landscapes – left behind and returned to.

Frederik Valentin & Loke Rahbek 'Elephant'

The combined forces of Frederik Valentin & Loke Rahbek first found a way into the world in 2017 with the album 'Buy Corals Online'. Together they now present 'Elephant', an eight-track album that composes an inquisitive space with its parts.

The economy of movement across Rahbek and Valentin's new collaborative album makes for a gentle transmission of its abstract intimacies. This presence, which we caught glimpses of on their previous work 'Buy Corals Online', is shaped by the delicate interplay between acoustic instrumentation and synthetically rendered sounds. Hauntingly melodic at times, the album feels like a suite of uncanny lullabies that grant access to realities that can only be found in dreams. Rahbek and Valentin are always leading us somewhere and showing us something—one piece of the scene at a time, coming and going with different parts of a puzzle that eventually settles into a complete form. And through all this we perceive an inviting restlessness on their behalf, encouraging us to stray further and further into the private space of 'Elephant'.

Valentin is perhaps best known for his work in the exquisite atypical pop group Kyo, though his wide- reaching music and videography practices covertly underpin his flagship projects. Most recently, Valentin has been working with Yung Lean as both producer on his 'Nectar' album as Jonatan Leandoer127 as well as on their commission for Sweden's Cullberg Ballet. As Croatian Amor, Rahbek has made similar forays into unworldly pop and his work with Christian Stadsgaard as Damien Dubrovnik has been as critical as their co- founding of Posh Isolation.

Modest interventions from processed field-recordings and semi-erupting synths invite you to zoom in enough to hear the human hand. An attention to listening, to how sounds cradle the small movements and gestures that naturally accompany the playing of guitar, piano, and viola, is acutely developed by Rahbek and Valentin. It's in this way that 'Elephant' persuades us that even small stories unfurl into the most intricate and tremendous of sagas.

Teenage Headache Dreams

The first EP project on the new Rave Tuga series by Lisbon's Paraíso comes from DJ Paulo, an alternative alias of @silvestre_pt - one of the contributors on the previous release, the Rave Tuga compilation. One of the most distinct voices coming from the Portuguese capital, DJ Paulo crafts dance music that is as fun as it is adventurous, cleverly balancing energy and experimentation.

'Sons Pa Curtir' opens with the textured breaks, vocal synths and chopped samples of 'Curtir', a refreshing and playful cut that perfect sets the tone for what's next. 'House Party' steps up on the sound design, blending bleeps and stabs with modulated glinding synths, punctuated by phone and spinback samples to an intriguingly infectious result.
'Dreamy Club' takes things bask to basics, with an effective acid line bouncing over raw house beats, evoking early 90s Chicago memories through the very personal lens of DJ Paulo, who adds mystery with chopped vocals and oneiric pads. 'Guiar Pela Cidade' takes us back to breakbeat territory, with a ravey bass and vocal cut-ups evoking the energy and cut-and-paste aesthetic of the early days of the uk hardcore continuum.

Two heroes of the Portuguese scene step up for remix duties, with @minassuspension 's @bleiddd pushing the bpm up and creating a masterfully tense rave heater and south side duo @roundhouse-kick applying the warmth of their machines to create a stabby, warm roller with snares for days.
