„sama recordings pres. s c h w e b e n“ evenings/nights rub against the often closely meshed interfaces between avantgarde pop, electronic music and experimental music trends of the 1970s and 1980: beguiling kraut excursions, organic club music, uplifting ambient drones & gripping rarities to dance to: profound musical realities from different angles that will inspire you.

"Knee MIX" Nr.06 FROM Andras

New Sameheads tape release.... Number 29 in fact in the C60 series.

Another curve ball approach...

Amelia Holt and Benedikt Frey offering up a side each of some influences from the rap game.

Amelia says.
"I love hip hop. I have been digging a lot of it because I like the beats and it’s fun to blend with trip hop and downtempo tracks. I also work for a record collectors, who has an incredible hip hop collection and we spend a lot of time listening to all these records. Beyond the beats, rhythm & lyrics, hip hop has an important piece in the history of music and the city I live in. I am grateful it exists.

This mix was recorded in Texas, in my bed room early January during the holiday season."

Big thanks to both @freybenedikt & @ameliaholt

The tapes are limited and available in person at all upcoming Sameheads events or online via sending an email to info@sameheads.com

Come and snatch one.

For the fourth instalment of Deities, it's my absolute pleasure to announce Cowper as Virelith. A mix infused with cosmic textures and deeply fuelled rhythms, Cowper has curated a listening experience that will draw you in and take you to a place that you never knew you wanted to be. Enjoy <3

ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴏꜱᴇɴ ɴᴀᴍᴇ? 

Virelith 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘʀᴏɴᴏᴜɴꜱ?

 He/him 

ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪᴠᴇ?

In the folds of the underworld, where memory goes to be softened. 

ᴛʜᴇᴍᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʀᴇᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛ ʏᴏᴜ?

Shadow and balance. 
The beauty of the unsettling. 
Dream logic. 
Lost potential. 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴀᴠᴏᴜʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ? 

Late autumn, when things are *almost* dead but not quite. The world holds its breath. The veil is thinnest then. 

ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ, ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ɪᴛ ʙᴇ? 

I would unteach the fear of discomfort. Let mortals *feel* without flinching. Let them find peace in contradiction. 

What is a key belief that you have? 

That nothing is ever wholly good or evil. Only honest, or unseen. That true growth begins in the dark, in the unknown. 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪꜱ ᴀ ᴋᴇʏ ʙᴇʟɪᴇꜰ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ? ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙɪɢɢᴇꜱᴛ ꜰᴇᴀʀ?

To be fully known. If I am understood, I can be contained—and I exist only as long as I remain beyond comprehension.

——————LABEL MANIFEST——————————

Sama Recordings - founded 2014 in Vienna by Benedikt Guschlbauer - is an independent record label for advanced audio aspects free of aesthetic or genre-based borders and stands for forward thinking music, which enriches body, soul and mind. We would like to showcase diversive creative approaches by local & international artists active in the vast fields of contemporary electronic music. A certain elevating spirit has to radiate from these waves and frequencies we want to present you.

The arabic term "Samâ" refers to whirling or listening in the language of mysticism. During a samâ ceremony, subtle vibrations are created by playing frame drums (daffs) that grasp the heart and also induce mystical trance. Thus Samâ, the art of listening among the Sufis, refers to the perception of inner vibrations. For me personally the word “sama” functions as a methaphore for conscious listening and dancing. 

grounded and spiralled out of control. the journey continues.
