Tassilo Vanhöfen - Laterna Magica (Itako Mix)

The cracks were beginning to show; it was nigh on impossible to keep her face from telling the whole story. She'd had a good run, but she knew that it wouldn't be long before she'd give it away, and all the lies and deceipt that had kept this at bay would soon unravel for the entire world to see. Would it have been worth it? A question she couldn't quite answer, but she'd soon find out...

Munich-based platform Alternative Fakten are dedicated to putting the city's underground music and arts scene on the map, be that through club nights, live shows, panel talks, art exhibitions, or releases — like the one we've got for you right here. Like their first label outing, the second is another compilation celebrating artists within the city, though this time, they highlight a wealth of contemporary electronic producers who are operating in the spaces between the city's artworld, activist groups and club culture, including Fuel Moon, WLAN and label bosses Tom Zwotausend & Bartoszek.

PREMIERE: Fuel Moon - Love Like Spaceship [Alternative Fakten]

Never been to Goa? With our next release by the talented Rambal Cochet you have a chance to not only visit it, but to also feel the power of its unique sounds. This album is full of mystery, drama and of course - goa trance.

From one track to the next you can feel the intensity growing. Slow, trancy chords strum gently through your whole body til they permeate your mind. And as soon as they’re inside your head, the light breeze of breathtaking melodies will awaken the universal language of dance in your body. Then, the utter confusion and disorder of the mix will pull you into a new dimension of chaos. But it is only an illusion, because chaos is order that’s yet undeciphered.

Whether you like to find order in chaos or to let yourself go in randomness, our local maestro Jokios Kulturos, the Frankfurt-based Tassilo and the Athenian Anatolian Weapons will be your remix guides on this special trip.

Chaos Is Order Yet Undeciphered

Premiere: Rambal Cochet - Guilty Trip (Anatolian Weapons Remix) [Electric Shapes]

Our next release is a family affair involving two artists who previously released on Samo Records. Tassilo Vanhöfen (@eshu-est), who was featured on our “Spiral” compilation, delivers a hypnotic EP with four of his signature low-tempo/trance-y tracks, perfectly matching the vibe of these strange times. 
“Laterna Magica” gets reworked by @itako, whose “Standards” EP came out on Samo last year; the result is a sped-up version that will haunt you for days. 

“Arcadia Ego” is out digitally on May 7.

New Swiss label Rababoo is proud to present his first release: Marcel de Sie! Oscillating between melodic industrial and shaky psychedelic music, Mr. de Sie overcomes his first 3 tracks with a static approach of electronic low drifts – in that sense, we decided to call it a soundtrack “to schuss'', in dedication to all our ski friends from here and there. The first 2 tracks, “Filter Seq'' and “Mezzo FM'' pitch the tone of the EP and are built as explorations of dance floor narratives, with the purpose to generate a wave state of mind through a real sound experience. While the first track is a relentless technoïd filter-driven smasher which immediately bleeps your mind and floods it with sound, the second track unleashes a cascade of sounds that brings any lost hiker back on track and drives him into a shamanic waltz in the mountains. 

The title track “Poetic Frame” is a direct response to these soundscapes, where howling, disturbing synths are at times chimera that fractures the pattern and calls you back to reality.

For his 1st release, Marcel de Sie is joined by Greek producer Anatolian Weapons (Dark Entries) and Belgian’s Victor de Roo (Stroom) for the remixes. Each one delivers a proper interpretation of the 3rd track of the EP “Poetic Frame”. While Anatolian Weapons explores a tribal trance sonic journey that can drive a Dervish dancer crazy, De Roo makes use of his distinguished style and creates the most abstracted version of this track. Not scared to apply kind of a trap snare ratcheting, he brings us to a space urban take.

29.10.2021 - Bandcamp Release 
12.11.2021 - Official Release

I dream of you so quietly. Your likeness is not visible, the wind obscures your silhouette. You create spirals and don't know why. A burning star whirling in an orbit of its own. Each today is yesterday's tomorrow, which is now. And now is all I have, in my dream, so quietly… Four new tracks on RIO, catalogue number 006. Conducted, dreamed, in- and exhaled by @freybenedikt and @tohinc , featuring cosmic whisper and aerospace vocoder poetry by Lisa Toh, Tyler Pope, Lukas Diller and Niklas Wandt. Tripping music, dancing with organic Reprazent-break-infinity, saxophone melodies, Neu-Kraut-transcendence, nervous drones, gloomy bass figures, minimal pop and manic computer malfunctioning tones. All wrapped in a warm void of Melancholie, touching the eternal with murky gloves. Pointillist tunes, thoughtfully peculiar, seriously serious. Now is all they need. Now is all they want. Now I dream of you so quietly.

Patch Notes:

An uplifting 90s inspired jam with beats, a filtered break, FM lead, virtual analog chords and a CZ style bass line produced with all ALM in our 9U 84HP MEGA case.

Starting from Pamela’s PRO Workout, the ASQ-1 sequences a kick, filtered break and FM lead from Akemie’s Castle. The right side low pass filter of the MCFx2 is slowly opened and modulated, producing ‘slow motion’ break swells as more high frequencies begin to pass through. A snare and percussive tick sound are brought in by unmuting sequences on the ASQ-1, and lush 8 note virtual analog chords from the MCO’s ‘Virtana’ voice are mixed in. A bass line is then brought in using both oscillators of the CIZZLE to create round and buzzy CZ style bass hits, further processed by the left filter of the MCFx2. The entire mix is rhythmically blurred together by clock synced delay into long reverb produced by a pair of MFX’s run in series from the send of the MEGA-TANG.

9U Downtempo

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. 

Corrupt Signal

The streets were paved with gold, a secluded seaside town where dreams were made and those who'd failed came to retire into the sunset. They sat upon street corners, in parks and upon the shore looking out on the tourists and the faces who came and went with no attachment to this place. It was not their legacy just a passing place, yet to some it was home. A lonely retreat in the outback of a country on the brink. It was beautiful. 

Abstrakce Records are a label based in Valencia, an imprint with a penchant for the experimental and come from a far collection of influences. They are set to release a new LP from Senthulà, am alias of José Guerrero. The album is a collection of wild expansive instrumental escapes and pays homage to diy culture. It also features a remix from Tolouse Low Trax.

Flippen Disks follows up their much acclaimed label-debut with an intriguing second release by Yuto Takei named “Bells From The East EP”.
Yuto Takei’s first vinyl release displays a wide array of sounds with a particular interest in rhythmic experiments and the negotiation of sonic space.

The Tokyo-based producer and DJ takes the listener onto a trip through deep spheres, percussive workouts, jammy compositions and electronic psychedelia, leaving the listener at times startled as to whether it is humans that are manipulating machines, or vice-versa.

Having worked as an electronic music composer for video games such as Gran Tourismo, this uncanny valley is known territory for the artist. It is, however, further explored on this four tracker, staying true to Flippen Disks paradigm of releasing club-oriented music, non-functional enough to not only be danced but also listened to.

Title track Bells From The East is an 8 minute jam, in which a krauty psych attitude pairs up perfectly with the goofy lead melody.

Free Shelter Edits #9

Fauve Records head honcho RFX kicks us off with his work on Assid Rayn. With the infamous releases on Fauve as well as the always welcomed Bandcamp Friday special “Ephemeral Edits” releases, we’ve been waiting to collaborate with this fella and me-oh-my was the wait worth it. ASSS-ASSSIIIIID. We continue with a couple of legends in this so-called “edits game”. Running Hot, the infamous duo from UK that does not need any introduction, and among our personal favourites. Our homegrown Aaron Maple continues on the third act, where he does his usual magic on My Maya. To end the 9th edition, Miro-Benji breaks the beat with World Championships. A track that stays true to its title and works just as well in a sweaty warehouse as it does in a Colin McRae rally game in the arcade hall. This is one we suggest you save for a special post-covid moment, when the dance floor is your oyster and the crowd is in the palm of your hands.
