Slightly Better Unchanged

The pearls of the Gulf have stoked the imagination and desire of people around the world for centuries their magnificence matched only by the courage of the divers who found them.

"Nahma : A Gulf Polyphony / نهمة: تعدد الغناء الخليجي" aims to honor the memory of these valiant free-divers, their culture and their music by the means of a transmedia object including:

A 2xLP vinyl compilation containing undisclosed original recordings of pearl divers and inspired modern-day compositions by artists like Tomaga, YPY, Aya Metwalli, Joakim, Tarek Yamani or Hieroglyphic Being.

A 240 pages art book (Arabic – English) featuring the contributions from artist, writers and experts in this tremendously rich theme such as Monira al Qadiri, Talin Hazbar, Toufik Kerbage or Talal Mattar.

Contemporary singer Anna Clementi meets the Alien Alien.
Together they cross boundaries for a visionnaire timeless anthem: NO G.D.M., the cult song by German electro pioneer Gina X.
Originally released in 1979, it's a sublime portrait of the British dandy icon Quentin Crisp, one of the fathers of the queer culture.
Anna Clementi and Alien Alien dig to the heart of voodoo: summoning, obsession, hypnosis, slow ritual dance. With an unpredicted twist, which leads the scene to another level.
The dub version by Hugo Sanchez leads the track even more towards the essence of funk: obscure tribal percussions, revealing a noir soul.

DOUBT004 // @oh_why - Variations LP

doubt records is delighted to present the debut album of berlin based electronic artist O/Y, written in winter of 2021 and 2022 

'there is a place in the creative process that asks you for suspense. for recognition rather than imposition. where, if you move very carefully, you may become an agent for the music to create itself. to make itself known. this piece is an illustration of exactly that: a feeling of knowing something, or someone deeply, without having ever met them before. a moment of perfect recognition.'

Iñigo Vontier - Friction

The group would join together in spiritual unity to chant, sing, dance and praise the one who looked down upon them from above. They had become accustomed to the ritual of the Cape Malay prayer, it was a humbling poem, a recital of peace, hope and strength. It was their very call to the one most high. Good things would come to them, they simply had to wait, for now. 

Following the release of 'Theory Of Flo' on Huntleys & Palmers, Auntie Flo is remixed on a new three track EP by Mehmet Aslan.

Taken from Stroboscopic Artefacts' first compilation, Flowers From The Ashes: Contemporary Italian Electronic Music, out April 13th, 2018 on 2x12" / CD / Digital.

Order: stroboscopicartefacts.com/shop/flowers…006-sacd009/

Flowers From The Ashes is the latest multi-artist project to bear the acclaimed Stroboscopic Artefacts imprimatur. There is a sensibility of decadence and corroded grandeur etched within its four album sides, reminding us that historically “decadent” times have nonetheless resulted in some of the boldest acts of individual and collective creativity. Like the "floral" theme that has remained a consistent feature of S.A.’s graphic presentation, the music here equally presents fragility and intensity in a way that really drives home this visual metaphor for good, while still holding out the promise that similar creations will be seeded in the near future.

Though many of the artists involved have set of residence outside of their native Italy, all contribute here to make a captivating portrait of a shared spirit and cultural memory. The album opens with 'Errori', deceptively fragile sonic ornaments crafted and suspended in space by Blackest Ever Black artist Silvia Kastel. This is followed closely by the mellifluous, warming glow of percussionist Andrea Belfi’s 'Spitting & Skytouching', and then by the resolute electric bass patterns and luminous fog of 'Lux et Sonus', from Eeri label head Marco Shuttle. Hospital Productions alumnus Ninos du Brasil open the B-side with a similarly dense, amorphous construction built from tribalistic chants and rhythmic patterns, to be followed by Mannequin label boss Alessandro Adriani’s 'You Will Not Be There For The End', showcasing his distinctive take on the "paranoiac breakdance" aesthetic of classic EBM. S.A. veteran Chevel rounds out the first record in the program by interlacing several percolating synth lines together into a richly conversational piece.

The journey continues with 'Starving The Mind', an undulating mini-epic from S.A. founder Lucy that is animated by his signature balance of seductiveness and concentration. The bright, biting acid synth tones of 'PRV-HH3-X', by Lory D, then takes a sharp right turn into an invisible metropolis ruled by reflective high fashion and hidden intrigue. The imposing architecture of 'Virgo Rebellion', designed by modular synth futurist Caterina Barbieri, acts as an excellent companion piece, and sets up the closing '4G' from Spazio Disponibile co-founder Neel - a crepuscular serenade that accurately sums up much of the foregoing activity.

All tracks (w)&(p) by Silvia Kastel, Andrea Belfi, Marco Shuttle, Ninos Du Brasil, Alessandro Adriani, Chevel, Lucy, Lory D, Caterina Barbieri & Neel.

Richard Rossa - Zoul Trip (2018)

Four fresh tracks by Tom Tom Disco head honcho Richard Rossa. 

These sounds came through a shaman guided San Pedro ceremony. This is what happened..

I was standing by a huge tree, every mythology has their tree of the world. In the north that tree is called "yggdrasil". I Closed my eyes and was told to follow the roots deep down under ground. It was completely dark, but the roots of the tree just kept leading me deeper and deeper... Finally i reached this cave... And there was a fire down there. And people standing in a circle around that fire. I was quiet, and looked at their lit up faces.

They told me they were my ancestors, and that they have been waiting for me...

Next moment i was standing by the foot of the mountain Kebnekajse. This time there were no other mountains around. just wide stretches of land. It was very windy.. I could see that old tree in the horizon. So i went back to it to sit down by its stem.

I began to hear the shaman drums calling me back to this world again.
