OCTOBER 2015

One year of regular musical releases was the time we took to realize from a manager´s perspective that the traditional digital music distribution circuit is completely vicious, obsolete, moved and constrained by financial interests.
Music is only a matter of numbers and trading, with total absence of artistic feeling or boldness facing the already established, for serving the market and the entertainment industry.

These are the reasons why we decided to definitely separate ourselves from this dominant system, in which thousands of producers and musicians are constantly disrespected, and small labels, often held with blood and tears, are shockingly sucked by unscrupulous distribution platforms and online shops, pure marketing machines looking for easy profit. Eventually this ends in a lot of disappointment for the artists themselves because the "noise"of a lot of distributors is too much, they feel not cared, and it´s already hard to sale; and a lot of labels are forced to close, for having no conditions to support their artists the pro and right way.
On the other hand, internet became quickly the best way to get connected to music you wouldn´t so quickly, or maybe never, and that´s the good part! We love music, we want more music, more, more, more....is incredible to have access to all this music nowadays.

Based on this, we decided that, from now on, all our editions will only be available on our Bandcamp store or, eventually, on online shops that share the idea of a fair profit distribution amongst all parts involved. We think Bandcamp is the fairest and easiest by now. It will be less exposed, thats a fact; we won’t be at the colossal and unanimously desired Beatport, thats another fact. Nevertheless, we won’t be contributing to a system that doesn’t promote worth anymore, doesn’t look for talent and doesn’t create oportunities.
We believe in launching emergent talents in an alternative area and to appeal to those who are established to join us in this pathway towards pure art.

Today (the 2nd of December) is a year past the official date of our first edition: the split EP “Alpha EP” with three tunes produced by Pedro Goya, Fragoso and Luís Bravo. One year later, with five releases in our history (among which the Miguel Torga’s LP “Hexágono Amoroso”, probably one of the portuguese electronic albums of the year), we blast the anniversary with this collection “Cycle 1 (One Year of Elements Records)” (coordinated, selected and sequenced by our label manager, Gabi von Dub).
Besides remembering we are here for a year now, this collection points to what we want to do in the near future: less releasing, in longer and more conceptual frames, and escape the more functional electronics, dancefloor oriented.

In “Cycle 1 (One Year of Elements Records)” we present tracks from The Positronics, Aqob, Ludovic, ocp, Anders Blickmann, Orienrac, Alex FX, Reverb (here with a Mauno Koivisto remix, a.k.a. Jönsson Tõll), Naus, Sphitzio and The Push (the latter established in Portugal not long ago).

From the more immersive and wavy ambient to the more mysterious dance music, extra 4x4 or expansive, this collection is a journey to the essence of each musician but also to their ability to look outside the box or escape previously given tags. It makes us curious for its influences, simultaneously different and oddly linked when translated to artistic creation.
Our acknowledgement to everyone involved in it. We hope it to be a starting point for future adventures.in sound.

For 2015, we have three LPs confirmed already: the debuts of Anders Blickmann, The Positronics and the return of Mr. Herbert Quain.
In this collection, we wanted to musically mirror our own vision: to join emergent values with established and influential names, promoting the gathering of several styles within electronics, with quality management and open minds.
Portugal has a sound, and several agents of that sound, and we want to show it to the world.

All tracks previously unreleased, except track 11, previously released on The Push’s "Transcendental Evidence" EP, by Arctic Dub Records (Sursumcorda).

Title: Migrant / Meltintu - Release: 25th September

The second 12” of 2015 for Call Super sees him contemplating the dancefloor once again, much in the manner of his previous releases ‘The Present Tense’ and ‘Fluenka Mitsu’. 

Here Call Super returns to Houndstooth with two tracks that develop his detailed, quixotic sound with his palette of shady drums and svelte bass work. Dreamlike pieces to rotate you into the night.

Das Album „Asymetria“ von No Accident In Paradise ist immer noch eine Empfehlung für alle, die aufmerksam mit offenen Ohren durch die Welt laufen.

Mit ihren dezenten Rhythmen & Sammlungen totaler Eindrücke knüpfen sie an die Meisterwerke sinnlich arrangierter & experimentierfreudiger Elektronik an.

MUSIKINFO

The album „Asymetria“ by No Accident in Paradise is still a recommendation for all of those who attentively walk through life with open ears.

They build on the sensually arranged and adventurous masterpieces of electronic music with their subdued rythms and collections of absolute impressions.

The second part of the „Asymetria Remiksy“ remix package continues this slender pull. Remixers carry the original vibe onto a whole new level of consciousness with their individual touches and design truly loveable music for relaxing niches of life.

*****

Der zweite Teil des „Asymetria Remiksy“ Remixpaketes führt den feingliedrigen Sog fort. Die Remixer befördern mit ihrer eigener Handschrift den Vibe der Originale auf eine neue Bewusstseinsebene und gestalten echte Liebhabermusik für die erholsamen Nischen des Lebens.

Akkord on Spotify: http://found.ee/AkkordSPO 

Akkord return with their first original music since June 2014’s ‘HTH020’ EP. ‘Obelisk’ is a study in rhythm and frequencies, suspended in space. 

On the minimalistic ‘Monolith’, a single element is moulded into a 3-dimensional sound sculpture, an aural illusion of a lead weight that floats away into the ether. 

In contrast, ‘Megalith’ has a pulsing gravity, drawing in laser-guided blasts of bass, broadsides of pitched-down jungle, and echoes of distant birdsong and telecommunications as it journeys through the static of space.

Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy.
