elektric - part 4

Sapien - Elmer

It’s with great pleasure that we welcome an old friend and contemporary, Yamaneko, to the Little Corner label with ‘jbreezesunset’.

Six years after his relocation from London to Tokyo, this EP recalls the sound of his early era-defining LP’s 'Pixel Wave Embrace' and 'Project Nautilus' on Local Action, told through the time-worn lens of acclimatisation and assimilation in another country. Where those records often touched upon Japanese ambient music and videogame soundtracks with an outsider's admiration from afar, this EP refocuses the ever-present influence of grime, techno, funky, new age and even Mr. Oizo-like glitch from a new distance and mindset. And though this record is more beat-focused and surprisingly club-ready than other recent works, the space and distance between each kick, clap or meticulous SFX-grabs are just as important as his impeccable sound selection and design.

With charming artwork to match from one of Yamaneko's personal favourite new artists and illustrators Léa Siffert.

Breezes In The Wave Wires

Indepth MusicRec finally reaches its 40th EP by way of a Italy based producers Alessio Viggiano & Niccolò Borgi. 
Having released solo projects and collaborations on labels such as Innocent, Youruba, Kina, Baile Musik… they now present a blast release on Indepth MusicRec. Their Orgasmo Cosmico EP is the maximum example of their unique sound, made of dark grooves and sexy deep melodies.

The track from which the EP gets its name is a hypnotic yet intelligent trip to the tech-house land of grooves and bells. This original mix offers us as a great variety of percussion sounds including claps, hats and deep tripping ambience. To say that Chamomille is a powerful tool, would be a huge understatement. The deep synth and the massive groove will destroy your dancefloor, mainly in the second part of the track. Pay attention to the clap because it will get you shaken up Try not to dance!

For the third original mix, we have Olevia. The deep synths create a unique atmosphere, armed with a hot female voice and freaky effects. Sensual and warm, this production fits perfectly in the smartest and most elegant settings.

Sparse and with a bit of experimental vibes Azotat de Potasiu. Presenting a rather minimal groove, the sound design and processing of ambience really make this one fill the air with palpable energy. Metallic and percussive, its drive and energy tell a story of promising dancefloor bomb

Viggiano e Borgi work is elegantly showcased in Indepths 40th release, creating a perfect marriage between label and artist. Continuing on the line of their success, this duo seems a promising future just beyond the horizon where their spiritual sounds run free.

Stratocumulus: a cloud belonging to a genus-type characterized by large dark masses, usually in lines or waves, much like this melodic sub banger from London based artist, K-LONE. Keeping deep dark garage alive and at the forefront of the movement, K-LONE, producer and creator of Wisdom Teeth record label, throws out another sci-fi infused gem with the help of scrumptious delightful Bristol label, Banoffee Pies. This track comes as part of the Banoffee Pies Digi 05 which is a compilation of a records previously available on vinyl-only, a release full of treats from the likes of Jay Anderson, Crump and Gallegos!

Sophisticatedly distorted vocals crackling in, live percussion, signature hefty sub bass, clever snares and classic hi-hat rhythms; ‘Clouds’ is a 7 minute galactic odyssey that is seductive and unforgettable. The space is filled perfectly, every unique segment is used to create an intense scene. K-Lone, uses his refined production skills to echo the classic uplifting garage vibe, but ensures that you don’t float off too far, there is enough murkiness to lure you into the deepest darkest corners of the grimiest basements and warehouses. Imagine you are about to transcend up into the unknown but as you start to float earth-shaking bass keeps you skanking firmly on the ground. Like watching a storm from a balcony, this track is eventful and entirely gripping. K-Lone cleverly carves out an impressive bassy landscape somewhere between earth and space. Light airy synths swim beneath hard hitting thunderous beats, this track rumbles cracks, breaks and bangs.
