They'd forgotten the path they'd trodden - the winding streets had formed a maze they could not conquer. Retracing their steps brought them no closer to an exit; every sign looked the same, every shop painted in the same faded colours - nothing set one apart from the next. It was a beautiful purgatory that felt both safe and uncertain all at once. Maybe they didn't mind being lost, at some point they would have to be found... 

In 2020 Malka Tuti should have been celebrating five years in the game with plenty of dates and special plans in the diary. The pandemic hit and they were forced to regroup and postpone their plans until this year, now marking their seventh anniversary as a label. To commemorate the date they've rallied friends and family for a sprawling compilation, Sheva, which features never-heard-before remixes and fresh tracks carefully curated over the last two years. Encompassing the heady, psychedelic sonics we've come to associate with the Malka Tuti world, the 12-track release features music from the likes of Red Axes, Nicola Cruz, Plazmot & Xen, Decha, Khidja and Manfredas, to name but a few.

PREMIERE: Plazmot & Xen - Sakana (Khidja's Dub Remix) [Malka Tuti]

As a nation, the Irish have always had a profound relationship with the people of Palestine.

“Whether born from our own history of British colonialism and occupation, which has cost thousands of innocent lives or through our Connexxion of struggle for civil and human rights, which came to prominence in the North of Ireland in the late sixties just about the time that 20,000 Palestinians were murdered in the 1967 6 day war in Palestine. Ireland will always stand with Palestine and with other oppressed people around the world!  Whether you’re Palestinian, South African, Jewish , African American, Indian, Vietnamese, Iraqi or Afghani – Irish people will always be on the side of good– fighting against oppression and the removal of civil liberties and rights. But at this moment in time, it’s not about nationality or religion it’s about humanity – as an entire people stand on the precipice of extinction. 
 

As a proud Irish man and a citizen of planet Earth, to be silent (as we all bear witness in real time to the genocide of the Palestinian people) is not an option. It’s estimated that to date 35, 000 people have been slaughtered – 15,000 of them woman and children not including the bodies under the rubble and with more than 600,000 are on the brink of preventable starvation.

Our own Irish ancestors experienced a devastating famine exacerbated by the British occupation – when 1 million people starved to death and 1 million more emigrated. So as the Israeli government uses starvation as a weapon of war, I am not going to forget our past, as those who do so and stand by, are surely doomed to regret their inaction.” David Holmes

Forget the city's clamor, the endless to-do lists, and the weight of daily pressures. Close your eyes and imagine yourself lying in a sun-drenched meadow. Above you, clouds ever-so-gradually drift by, shape-shifting like melancholic ambient undercurrents. Tranquility is all that’s there. You are in a different place, a better place..

That's the feeling one gets listening to Mjulev’s ‘Clouds Are The Better Birds’, a wonderful eight-track album by the Basel, Switzerland-based sound architect.

Mjulev's ambient playground unfolds like a dreamscape; each meticulously crafted layer weaves in and out organically, drawing you deeper into a world of introspection. As you listen, the stress and noise of daily life melt away, replaced by a profound sense of peace and connection. "Clouds Are the Better Birds" is an invitation to escape, reconnect with your inner self, and find solace in the simple beauty of the universe.

Set for release on April 12th via Never Late, Mjulev's latest offering is an essential companion for anyone seeking a haven from the world's noise.

Mjulev - Can I Give This Bird Some Speed?

This track is a reinterpretation of Nostalgia, a track released earlier this year on Plurpura Records' Duality compilation. This time, it features the vocals of Baridi Baridi, a wonderful artist and friend I had the pleasure of meeting in person late last year. We took that time to listen to this track together, imagining the moment it would be released. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the creation process. 
For that bittersweet feeling that envelops you when recalling past moments that now only live in memory; for that bridge connecting a present thought with memories of moments that no longer exist; for that mix of joy and melancholy for something that marked you but is simply no longer there. “Nostalgia"

The conjectural wedding band OTTO is expanding its organ soundtrack madness. With their third record, they deliver sonic solutions for all sorts of moods (Stimmungen), ranging from dark and stormy to smooth and suave. If you forgot, OTTO is Alexander Arpeggio—who just released a 12‘‘ on Neubau and runs the labels Mond Musik and Eine Welt—and Cid Hohner—who compiled the “Heilige 3 Könige” album on Mond Musik and produces other projects such as C.Z.

For the 5th episode of Nobody Is Perfect, Tushen Raï & Cornelius Doctor invite you to board their international cosmic shuttle for a world trip around psychedelic rock, kraut electronic groove, acid dub, latin alternative sounds, slow trance, contemporary jazz and forbidden proto-techno gems.
The Hard Fist bosses have the honor to welcome Matias Aguayo as a special guest for the second hour of this show.
There are a lot of things to say about Matias Aguayo, with almost 25 years of career, the head of Comeme Records was one of the first to open the doors of global African and latin rhythms to electronic music. Matias is recognised in the scene for his impressive capacity to discover new artists and experiment new contemporary ways of producing music, but in first place, for being a true generous man, full of sensibility and humanity.
