INCOMING : Ivan De La Rouch & Mike Sacchetti - Moving(Rigopolar Remix) #PlayPalMusic

Release date : 2021-04-09

Buy: https://playpalmusic.bandcamp.com/album/c-rame

Next up on Play Pal we are proud to present and welcome for the first time, to Logical Rec. label honchos Ivan De La Rouch & Mike Sacchetti with their EP 'Cúrame', Spanish for ‘Heal Me’, which is certainly a product of its time in an uncertain world.

Another friend and regular of Play Pal, Rigopolar, reworks 'Moving' adding a punishing synth hook, a shuddering basseline, keeping the original vocals but with a menacing faster paced workout where guitar and cowbell dance together, uneasily and ritualistically.

Exclusive: Jennifer Touch - Nails And Fails

(A) Good Friday basis is the day before, Holy Thursday. And both days are seemingly to become good days as Jennifer Touch releases her first ever self-release EP on her Bandcamp-page. The artist, who's originally home in Berlin, has been residing in Brighton for a few months now to work in the FatCat Studio and, according to Jen, "found a fresh perspective on music and life." Latter is something inevitable, probably even more challenging in these times, to create or come up with new ways to produce music and the connected creative process. However, the always and forever Riotvan family member, shares three new tracks with her audience under the EP's working title Moon In Aries. While the entire EP will be available on the before mentioned Good Friday, the take Nails And Fails is ready for your listening pleasure by now. The track is an experimental IDM-influenced excursion into Jennifer's current artistic state of mind, with bubbling chords and the artist's catchy voice, whispering singing speaking her way throughout the track and generating an atmosphere as well as vibe that crawls into one's mind (at night).

Jennifer Touch's EP Moon In Aries will be released on April 2nd, 2021.

EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Touch - Nails And Fails

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/stiletti-ana
Track: Piilevä
Label: https://soundcloud.com/hoga-nord-rekords
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, Mini-LP
Release date: 30/4/21
Purchase: https://hoganordrekords.bandcamp.com/album/hnrbs004-i-m-an-arpeggiator

Stiletti-Ana, part of the dreamy sunbathed electronic duo “Jesse” and top tier in Finnish music production is releasing a new solo album, “I’m an arpeggiator” on Höga Nord Rekords. This album carries similarities to Jesse in both production and sounds but hides more ancient wisdom. A refined sound but with more edges left sharp and more of a mysterious vibe.
As the sound professor he is, Stiletti-Ana takes you in a tour of his vast collection of vintage synthesisers and in centre of attention sits the arpeggiator (hence the album title) which gives the sound much of its repetitive character. Recorded in the legendary Haista II-studio outside Helsinki, “I’m an arpeggiator” channels the energies from the waters and forest surrounding the studio, giving the music its’s escapistic and romantic character.
This record is a transcendental trip down the paths of Boards of Canada and Manuel Göttsching, dedicated to the ancient Babylonian fishing god, Dagan.

PREMIERE | Stiletti-Ana - Piilevä [Höga Nord Rekords] 2021

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.

2. Tassilo Vanhöfen - Laterna Magica
3. Tassilo Vanhöfen - Wild Magic Dance

Every now and then a release comes along for us which carries just that little extra bit of weight and significance and the Mind In A Daze EP from Solid Gold Playaz is one of those.  The US duo have released some of my favourite house tracks dating back to the late nineties so it is a real pleasure to have them produce four amazing new tracks for us here on Freerange.  Kenny Gino and Mike T have had many highly rated releases on revered labels such as DNH, Moods n Grooves, Silver Network and their own Solid Gold Records.  Resolutely underground, and it’s fair to say criminally underrated, Solid Gold Playaz have stayed true to what they do by releasing the heaviest club music which connects on a far deeper level than your average new house release. I really hope you can give Mind In A Daze some time to grab you in the same way it has grabbed me. 
Kicking off the EP the title track sets the mood with an SGP rolling groove, hypnotic synths and tripped-out vocal delivery from Mike himself. For me, they consistently hit this beautiful sweet spot between jacking Chicago house, Detroit techno and the more European IDM sounds of ART, Irdial and B12. Always deep and musical but with a focus on what will create a magic mood on a late night or early morning dance floor.             
The Kiss gives us another expansive and immersive mood which can’t fail to draw you in.  A driving house groove with punchy claps make the perfect counterpart to the blissed-out widescreen pads and glitchy mechanised synth sequence making for a very special track.   
Let Me See You Jack goes straight for the jugular! Absolutely no messing about on this one, with crunching, unrelenting 808 beats laying a foundation for Mike’s twisted vocal drawing us to the dance floor.  What I wouldn’t give to have heard this dropped by Ron Hardy at the Music Box! 
Closing out the EP we have Optical Illusions, another SGP masterpiece for those who like it seriously deep! The long arrangement gives the track space to breathe and for that beautifully hypnotic vibe which SGP create so well, to really take hold. Serious Jackers Unite!

PREMIERE : Solid Gold Playaz - My Mind Is In A Daze

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.

Tsugi Premiere : Apollo Noir - Flame Thrower (Canblaster x Tryphème Vampire Dub Remix)

Otherworldly sounds pulsed from different structures around the huge field, each housing their own unique sonics, decor and crowd. Throughout the night people journeyed around these spaces, hoping that whatever lay inside would reinvigorate or relax their mind and body. By dawn, the effects of the night had taken their toll, and bodies had become spirits floating in the air, far above solid ground...

2013 marked Moscow duo Simple Symmetry's first musical outing, and since they've notched up eight more EPs for labels like Disco Halal, Low Budget Family and XXX. Now, following three years of blood, sweat and tears, they're putting out their first long player 'Sorry! We Did Something Wrong' into the world.

Made up of 11 tracks, the album signals a different and more expansive sound than their previous efforts. Pulling from a host of different eras and influences—there's nods to early and mid 90s artists like Weatherall, Death In Vegas and St Etienne, while at other moments they dive into 60s and 70s grooves, licks and harmonies à la Beach Boys and The Monkees. Crafting their own singular sound world, full of colourful and psychedelic sonics bursting with flutes, cello, synths, sitar, guitars and percussion, the pair have made a wonderful record that is "a tonic for these uncertain times".

PREMIERE – Austher – Hybrid Humans (Ulla Records)

This is the remix we made for Eivør's beautiful track 'Trøllabundin'. 

We love the original and tried making it playable during our performance. 
We really tried to maintain emptiness of the beat but to strengthen the voice, the vibe and build-up of the original.  

Hope you like it.

Eivør - Trøllabundin (Yør Kultura Remix)

Chang and Eng, born in 1811 in Siam (nowadays Thailand), were the first documented conjoined twin brothers. Their fame propelled the expression “Siamese Twins” to become synonymous for conjoined twins in general. Paying homage to this aspect, it is also a record label based in Thailand run by Sunju, Johan, and Taychin from Karma Klique, with Yoshi from 禁 JIN Records. A home for authentic, tribally rooted sounds introducing Asian artists and creating symbiotic dialogues with producers around the globe. Two heads, one path, one pace.
The Debut “Cobra EP” comes from a new production project “Mogambo” a collaborative brainchild of Sunju Hargun and multi-instrumentalist Jerom Doudet. Both located in Thailand and bounded by a shared love of acid electronica, Bollywood movies and big psychedelic gongs.
Delving deep into a highly personal and unique sound cosmos this album covers a wide range of sound textures. Featuring trippy jungle grooves, mesmerizing tribal percussion, countless eccentric effect pedals and hints to 90’s Goa. The EP ranges from spacey Asian soundscapes, sweaty basement afterhours journeys to slow burning hypnotizing grooves slithering as a Cobra.
Our choise is - जीना (Jeena) - A cinematic mesmerizing ambient track. Organic synth lines grow and layer over a Thai vocal slowly dripping in. Gongs stretched into a hazy morning.

Title: जीना (Jeena)
Label: Siamese Twins
