Genyten | International Womxn's Day - 8th March 2022

Two years after our last V/A, we're back with the first opus of our ‘Vapordub’ imprint series. Another artifact rising from the depths of the leftfield music scene, this time focused on contemporary psychedelics.
Highly inspired by the textures of the vaporwave sonic aesthetic, our 16-track compilation displays in turns intriguing sound design, graceful synths from a new age, weird exotics and psychoactive slow-dubs.

Designed to please either curious or skilled ears, our various paves the way for a 90-minute mind wandering in distant, fantasized realms. Featuring renowned international artists, up and coming French projects and obscure aliases in the likes of A Strange Wedding & Camille Claire Olympie, Alieno deBootes, Babau, Bouti, Dean O’Brien Resorts, Dylan Henner, Georgia, Giant Grouper, Herbarium, Horn Chants, Jonnnah, Naomie Klaus, Nuke Watch, Polonius, Salamanda and Vica Pacheco.

To be published on March 30, 2022 on a 2x 12” gatefold-vinyl-bundle, including marbled &-transparent waxes and a mesmerizing combination between Vica Pacheco’s artwork and Romain Guillo’s design.

DJ Gerhardt - Kalifloor

Dub & Bass Sunday Session

R.I.O. welcomes Pieter Kock aka DJ Peacock, one of the guiding souls behind the Berlin based bar/micro club O Tannenbaum. Musically active since 1986 as singer, guitarist, drummer and noisemaker, Peter already released a string of albums under different aliases like Billie and Ballie, The Hitmachine and Taladu. Since the early 1990s he narrates haunting sonic stories as a DJ, playing a vast palette of styles - from cosmic and leftfield techno to tape experiments, sound-art, wave, world, jazz, punk, industrial, and all that weird pop music. Last year saw him liberating his first solo recordings under his civil name as a cassette tape named “Flocks & Murders of Entitled Spirits”, dropped by the Berlin/Vilnius based label Musikii. It unreels twelve sensitive tunes, made with the help of online synths and drum computers, Youtube travel- and talk show-videos or samples from Youtube synths- and rhythm boxdemonstration videos. Now he refined his idiosyncratic style of music crafting a bit deeper and shares “Facial Recognition” – a gently twisted album that unites hypnagogic pop, library dances, cosmic funk, leftfield grooves and experimental sonic zones under one roof. His seven found sound tunes are layering a rhizomatic veil of unidentifiable web sounds, all transmuted into hazy looped ambiances, that trigger unconscious brain activities with future samples from the past, woven rhythm structures and a simultaneity of moments, derived from myriad world wide web informations. When it’s true, that nothing can have value without being an object of utility, then Pieter Kock managed to give the internet a new rate while using its manyfold informations as a tool to create art. Art, whose originality isn’t defined by the creator’s playful virtuosity. Instead, his sensibility of deciphering unheard rhythms, harmonies, and melodies in an avalanche of prefabricated ideas is his mastery. Pieter Kock transformed them into unfamiliar compositions with a familiar touch, that can evoke the feeling of being synchronous in a world of the many. A data rain without drops, a stream of consciousness without cognizance.
Come in, drop out.

PREMIERE⚡Pieter Kock - Pink Venus [R.i.O.]

I have been knowing Schönfeld for many years already and following his musical output. It took a while until we found seven new songs from him for you. Now we are back with a little journey that takes you from hidden castles to the Mecklenburgian countryside, from a family party deep into the jungle and under the water. It all ends with a slow and beautiful song where he finally plays his trumpet again. 

The other side of the tape shows you the danceable side of Kadent - „a cute producer from Berlin with original Berliner Schnauze“. It starts with three of his dub techno songs followed by the summer hit Polarity. He then shows you how to have fun with relaxed drum ’n’ bass. Doctor Ballerton is really slow but energetic in its own way and Synthetic Substitution brings back the summer and lets me want to dance outside again. 

Enjoy the musical cosmos of both Kadent and Schönfeld.

The day after our epic LAxD event, ESTEBAN ADAME came over to BL headquarters for the radio show and blessed us with a live impromptu modular set as his alias FREQUENCIA, which absolutely melted our brains. The recording begins with a couple meditative tracks to set the intention for the absolute madness https://soundcloud.com/estebanadame brought with his hardware. The session ends with some vinyl tracks spun by Kosmik and our special guest Claude Young as we tried to pick our jaws off the floor. A beautiful night to cap the weekend. Enjoy 🚀 🚀 🚀

BL Radio EP 97: ESTEBAN ADAME [LIVE]

Prolific yet reclusive California producer Billy Bates aka Mr Saturday is known amongst his friends as a Rad Dad & a master of Digital Dub. Connoisseurs of the genre will know that for a brief period in the 1980s, drum machines & synthesizers dominated the Sound Systems & Beer Gardens of Jamaica, & for some Dub Heads, this illustrious era represents the missing link between King Tubby & Basic Channel. Squirrels On Film is delighted to present this collection of Bates' 21st Century Versions & Rhythms that take inspiration from that golden era of Machine Dub. Over ten tracks Bates explores a wide world of warm bouncy sub-bass & cold sharp drum machine rhythms, swimming in echoes & splashes of digital reverb. Bates imbues these mixes with a vital spontaneity that pays homage to the Jamaican originators of this form, who never let the machines steal the human spirit from their work. Echoes Of The Future is available in a very limited edition of hand-dubbed cassettes & the digital version features two special remixes by sometime Dub Techno Wizard Kit Clayton, who revisits the late 90s Minimal Dub Vibes of his legendary Cytrax imprint, effortlessly bringing these Rhythms from the sunny beaches of California to the smoke filled warehouses of Berlin. Whether practicing the latest dancehall moves with your crush moves or relaxing with a spliff in the backyard, Echoes Of The Future is the ideal soundtrack.
