The inspiration for this remix came to me while sitting on Ray's sofa.  MY eyes were shut, and the mdma was working beautifully. Pattern Drama had written a beautiful track and the cello reached out to me. I instantly thought to elaborate on the classical side of this and engaged Afriqua & Hana to help me bring this idea to life. Each played to different versions of an early mix I had put together, with Afriqua and I working in my studio here in Berlin, whilst Hana (based in London) and i worked over Skype. A few days were spent gathering the recordings and making an arrangement layered with the Moog. 
This was a very enjoyable moment for me and marks the beginning of many more. 
Big love to Pattern Drama & Touch of Class for loving this remix and being supportive of it and to put it on the 12".
Dare to do different I suppose?
I hope you enjoy it too!

Finally, I can talk about this - my debut album Human is coming next year, March 10. This is the first single from it, Adrift, with my long running vocal collaborator Kathrin deBoer. I had a simple piano chord progression and a randomised percussion idea to give to Kathrin, who captured the feeling beautifully with her lyrics and jazz influenced vocal approach. It's more of a personal piece of music for me than a club track, which is the approach I've taken for the whole album. 
 
More previews, a couple more singles (and some really amazing remixers!) to follow between now and March.

Back in March 2003 Claro Intelecto announced his arrival in the electronic world with his Peace Of Mind EP on Ai Records. Now, a decade later, Delsin, the label on which he released his latest LP, is re-releasing it in all its glory. Across four perfectly formed tracks the EP proved Manchester’s Mark Stewart to have a fine grasp on techno, electro and dub, and that he was able to do his own unique things with each.

Arguably the most well known cut from the EP is 'Peace of Mind (Electrosoul)', a busy bit of chattery house-come-electro that is wired up with many zithering melody lines and Claro's trademark lush strings. 'Tone' is then a much more frazzled and aggressive bit of techno with raw, slapping percussion, gurgling synth lines and plenty of dystopian electro vibes. 'Contact' then settles into a deep, dubby, spacious groove with airy hi hats and a delightful bassline and carries you along effortlessly, and final track 'Signifier' closes things out in beautifully serene style with ambient swirling pads, organic synths and a curious bassline that rises and falls like the tide. Seminal stuff that still fetches a high price on Discogs, it was the start of a remarkable career for Claro Intelecto.

Le Révélateur - Extreme Events
Edition of 300 LP Digital Download

WO Release Date: August 22, 2014 
US Release Date: September 2, 2014

Five years after founding Le Révélateur, Montreal-bred musician Roger Tellier-Craig returns to Root Strata with Extreme Events, a collection of dense sonic studies that betray a futuristic and timeless beauty. Alongside collaborator Sabrina Ratté, who creates the project’s videos and live visuals, Le Révélateur operates at the ideological intersection of audio and visual, analog and digital, nostalgic and anticipatory, human and machine. Extreme Events is characterized by complex rhythmic asymmetry and twinkling aesthetic resonance – ultimately a prescient re-vision of hypothetical cyberpunk futures realized in the desert of digital decay and burgeoning artificial ecologies.

Cut and mastered by Helmut Erler at D&M, Berlin. Distributed by Morr Music.

Out Now ! Reissue of Smoke Dawson's 1971 private press LP, 'Fiddle,' out on Tompkins Square. CD/LP/DL

George "Smoke" Dawson played banjo in MacGrundy's Old-Timey Wool Thumpers with Peter Stampfel (later of Holy Modal Rounders) in 1960, lived for years at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY, and roamed around the US as an itinerant bagpipe and fiddle player for decades. Dawson was also part of a rotating troupe of Bay Area musicians known as Golden Toad, who would open for the Grateful Dead on occasion, lead by Bob Thomas, who created the iconic skull and lightning Dead logo. 

"A panorama of rural American music, replete with a healthy old-world influence." - PASTE



The Minotaur by Smoke Dawson

Koo Koo is the first offering from GABI (neé Gabrielle Herbst) on Software.

Gabrielle's formal training began at an early age, studying Balinese dance and gamelan in Indonesia while learning both the clarinet and piano. Herbst continued her training at Bard College where she studied voice and composition under the tutelage of Joan Tower, Zeena Parkins and Marina Rosenfeld. Her work has already been showcased at Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center, as well as Roulette, who earlier in 2014 commissioned and premiered her first opera Bodiless.

Herbst’s experience writing for chamber orchestra and mixed instrumentation inspired her to develop a repertoire of short-form, vocal-centric compositions under the name GABI. These were driven by solitary explorations in early 2013 with a dual-track loop pedal.

“Koo Koo” marks GABI’s studio immersion to further develop these vocal compositions. She is joined by her band Matthew O’Koren (percussion), Rick Quantz (viola), Josh Henderson (violin), and Aaron Roche (electric guitar / trombone). The song is framed by a hypnotic refrain of the words “I wait for you" embedded in a latticework of arpeggios and melodies con moto.

Koo Koo is announced on September 24, 2014 via Software.

Multi Culti imagineer DREEMS reworked by MICHAEL MAYER and VALENTIN STIP.

‘Mirages’ presents two epic revisions of one of the most compelling and memorable songs from the forthcoming debut LP from Australia’s Dreems. 

One of the rising stars of Nico Jaar’s Other People label, Valentin Stip turns in a real beauty. Cosmic, intricate textures wave around bamboo flute solos before stomping rhythm tracks ride in. Properly deep, advanced, esoteric, and original. Play this at the right desert party and the crowd will think you caused that sandstorm with the power of your mind. 

Kompakt’s Michael Mayer goes a bit less organic and a bit more manic with a fierce, loopy and extremely psychedelic journey into the heart of darkness and back into the light with an outro that borrows from yet another album track Rainy Day. 

So Mayer basically remixed two songs in one. Dreems fed off that energy and outro’d that outro with a new edit of Rainy Day. Multi Culti not afraid to get multiple.

Drug-takers - approach this record with caution, it’ll suck you in and spit you out with your reality tunnel open a little wider than it was before… freaky.
