Florian Rietze - Forgive Me

The first single, lostfound, from leland, the forthcoming debut LP by Francis Harris is available now on limited edition vinyl from NYC label Scissor and Thread. leland is a highly personal work for Harris who composed the album as a requiem for his father, for whom it is titled. This first peek at the project features the album version of lostfound, a contemplative, atmospheric pop song cast in a deep house framework. Norwegian singer Gry turns in an outstanding vocal performance that cuts straight to the emotional core of the material while subtle improvisational trumpet accents by Greg Paulus of No Regular Play propel the narrative.

Francis Harris "lostfound"

Kicking off a new limited series on Circus Company, we return to JAW's solo project Midtown, which was released in 2014. Amongst the 19 collaborative tracks that saw the dOP vocalist sparring with musicians from all over the world, there was a spellbinding song written in conjunction with British singer-songwriter Piers Faccini.
“Traitor Creator” is a haunting track very much led by Faccini’s fragile vocal, with JAW laying down a subtle undercurrent of harmony. Meanwhile the delicate guitar tone and sparse percussion that shape out the song all lend themselves to a mournful, existential message. Even in the climax of the track, with its fractured guitar distortion, the Eastern lilt of the melody dictates a mystical atmosphere.
To frame the original track in a new light we called upon Nôze to deliver a remix. The pensive mood is maintained through a brooding low-end pulse, but the vocals are mixed to further accent the interplay between the two distinct singers. Using a stripped-back beat and threading in choice slices of the guitar alongside light touches of synth, Nico and Eze draw on the fundamental spirit of the track and take it to a new, equally captivating place.
Of all the tracks on Midtown, “Traitor Creator” was perhaps not the obvious choice for a club-friendly remix, but in such unlikely situations can some of the most captivating results be found.

The Idjut Boys and Laj (one of Ray Mang man Raj Gupta’s lesser-known aliases) were once regular studio partners, laying down a series of now legendary dubbed-out disco and deep house releases on the former’s U-Star label during the mid-to-late-90s. Now one of the trio’s lesser-known gems is returning to record stores for the first time since 2002, courtesy of Claremont 56.

“Slateo” first appeared on the 2002 Session Recordings label compilation Solidsession Vol. 2, the CD version of which was mixed by the Idjuts and also contained a fine cut from Akwaaba, a band whose members included future Claremont 56 founder Paul “Mudd” Murphy.

Built around undulating bongo beats, fireside-warm dub bass, outer-space chords, delay-laden guitar flourishes and spacey jazz-funk synth solos by regular collaborator Pete Z, “Slateo” sits somewhere between warm-up gold, late night bliss and early morning release. In true Idjuts and Laj fashion, it boasts epic amounts of reverb and dub delay, as well as the kind of enveloping production that’s always been a hallmark of their collaborative work.

16 years after the track first slipped out, it’s appearing on a single-sided 12” single, pressed to gorgeous green and white vinyl. With only 350 copies available worldwide, pre-orders are recommended.

'As we slowly enter the cozy and chilly autumn season, Plaisirs Sonores introduce Nōpi with a great dose of warm to soundtrack this musical adventure. The Ukrainian might be a new face, but he has already figured on some high-profile labels such as Kindisch, Akbal and When We Dip XYZ. For his debut on PSR, he unveils one brilliant track - 'Hosu' which perfectly showcase his talents as a producer.

'Hosu' is a spine-tingling number with majestic keys and chords overlaid with deep, warm drums. It's a real trip into melancholic moods and is the sort of lush track that sinks you into a reverie.

On remix duty, Erdi Irmak tightens the drums and create, with a majestic synth, a brilliant and memorable melody. Pad layers are added subtly never overpowering each other, creating a serene, surreal auditory experience.'

'Eli Baltsan, known professionally as DJ Zombi is an Israeli producer, remixer and one of the most advanced Tel Aviv artists who have reshaped electronic music worldwide. Baltsan's Armadillo Records debut brilliantly exposes over fifteen minutes of pure audio magic. It’s electronica at its best! This two track release signed for avant-garde Guy J's label is an expression of that classic, yet eternally new idea and passion, that brings an old-fashioned sparkle of positivism and delight to the digital world. These instrumentals are a sonic reflexion of what it signifies to be enlightened; what it’s like to express intimacy, melancholia, bliss, and the whole nine yards in between. AR014 is on the whole a superior release, definitely worth hearing and appreciating.'

Artist: @Kayroyyy feat. Miela
Title: Identification Unknown
Release Date: July 3rd, 2020
Label: Frank Music
Cat-No: FM12031

ID anyone?! Please welcome Kayroy everybody. He is hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Riding the retro-futuristic-synth-disco wave as he puts it himself we give you „Identification Unknown“. A sweet song created with the help of Miela’s voice. Made for the beach and the club (or should I say stream?) at the same time. You may call it Pop Muzik. Additional remixes & edits by Donald Dust from the UK, Longhair & Johannes Albert from Berlin. Donald Dust is serving it icecold, dropping a fine bit of dark euphoria to brighten up your day. Longhair are taking it easy with a dubby early 90s approach, very bass-heavy. Finally Johannes is taking it to the club again with his sharp DJ edit.

Queer Base is an organisation in Vienna that offers social and legal counseling to LGBTQI+ refugees who arrive in Austria, including providing help with court cases, finding housing, community events, organising German lessons, HIV/STI testing, and more. Further details can be found at ​https://queerbase.at/​. Label regular 'Sun Shy Boy' kicks things off with 'Don't Catch Me Running', a rueful and catchy downbeat pop song with longing chords. After the ambient turned beatdown track 'Horizon' from Delicate Features, Jorkes sink us into a lush deep house groove and O.S.T. paints musical pictures of lazy hot days in the park with the pastoral beauty of 'U and I (Are Living)', and 'Be Like That' from Raphael Schön switches up the mood with a more kinetic electronic track that brims with futurism. Timeless deep house vibes abound on Benjamin Fröhlich's excellent 'Birdhouse', then venerated mainstay Massimiliano Pagliara slows things down with the majestic synth arpeggios and far-sighted cosmic sounds of 'Without You', before Milan’s Modular Project drop some 80’s influenced psychedelic house. The mid-section of this broad and brilliant collection takes in soft rock tinged Balearic disco, bubbling house and then stripped back and perfectly atmospheric disco-tech from Zombies in Miami & Joseeph with 'Walking Home.' The most direct grooves come from the dark, techno leaning 'That Escape' by Sedef Adasi, resident of the BLITZ Club in Munich, the twisted synth workout that is Super Drama's 'Friction' and the late-night drones of the meditative 'Cinderella' by Cantor. Zamal and Younger Than Me then explore deep acid techno territory on their fine contributions and Hard Ton, the irrepressible Italian from labels like Toy Tonics, then serves up stomping synth and vocal disco gold before much-loved house innovator Soulphiction closes out in fine style with the steamy and atmospheric, rough-edged house of 'Tedium.' This compilation excels on a musical front but also by highlighting and supporting the vital work undertaken by Queer Base. The album comes with beautiful and bespoke artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi and all mastering was carried out by Klas-Henrik Lindblad at Blackheadstudios.

Nadia Khan returns on Scissor and Thread for another sublime mini LP, Port Ana. Based in North Carolina, Khan first drew a lot of attention via a cassette release on Where To Now? Records in 2015. 
Her sophomore statement was the beautiful In Gleam released in 2018 on Francis Harris’ Brooklyn-based label, which set the tone for these five tracks of meditative music. 
The title track Port Ana opens the journey - a gentle, droning soundscape with effortlessly bewitching glints of melody. 
Conversation follows on, drawing on loops and textures to create the background for a deep, pulsing kick drum. The sounds shift and evolve, leaving a hazy sense of movement to drift away to. 
Next up is Objects In Form which presents a fragile chord progression that barely holds itself together, surrounded by shifting pads and swathes of reverb. 
Rain Again is presented here in two versions. The original combines ethereal sounds, weightless and adrift, while the Lawrence remix firmly grounds the track with a hypnotic, deep groove. The Dial boss provides another remix for the digital release that further plays with the textures of the original to create something that works both for an open minded dancefloor and as a home listening experience.
