Lotus Wash drops his debut album on LBD Sounds, bringing a whole load of fresh material which came out from his experience as a session musician, and performing his experimental live sets around the Czech Republic. He connects the dots between classically trained musician and modular synth-head, working in Prague’s DIY shop and creative community Noise Kitchen. The album spans across 6 original tracks of pure analogue bliss and live ideas, alongside three remixes from his closest allies, local producers Oliver Torr, Vision of 1994, and Hrtl.
The Field Theory was created during a period of deep fascination with quantum physics, with the tracks being conceptually and aesthetically inspired by some of its phenomena. Acoustically, it’s mostly a slow and dark affair, with Lotus Wash only letting the light in very briefly when the sun is young (Magnetic Moment), keeping the shutter firmly closed for the rest of the record. His music does not rely on banging beats to drive it, instead letting intense grooves do the job from deep underground, just like on earth-shattering album opener Vacuum Fluctuation. He masters his craft of building atmosphere, a skill learnt during multiple collaborations with various Czech theatres. Of course, he lets the steam out occasionally, and always with devastating effect (Higgs Field, Casimir Force), but mostly choses to keep it capped, humming and hissing. When the sky clears, he opts for a minimalistic and hypnotic approach, only to disturb this peace with a killer bassline in one of the album’s highlights – Spooky Action in A Distance – later re-imagined and re-electrified by Oliver Torr. Standard Model is anything but your standard techno, while Hrtl’s remix of Magic Moment flirts with techno too, but on a dubbier and brighter side. Bringing the album to a close is Vision of 1994’s downtempo take on the same track, finally letting you breathe out.

We present to you our 3rd compilation, Cube, a set of 8 tracks that, as usual, go in different and intriguing musical directions. 

We welcome a brand-new group of artists to the label: Anatolian Weapons starts it off with a slow acid burner; Azaria follows with a hypnotic trance-y track; Ruksby picks up the tempo with an acid-infused EBM heavy-hitter; WLDV gets dark and dirty with an Industrial/EBM smasher; Kidaudra offers a high-tempo monster; Orchid delivers a fun electro-italo track; the recently formed Oblako Maranta project contributes a haunting leftfield track; and Robert E. Livingood wraps things up with a lo-fi psychedelic new wave track.

Hearing the news about Putin deciding to invade Ukraine left us shocked.

As peace and harmony are one of the essentials of music, we decided to gather our closest (and also not so close) circle of producers from all around, showing how weall believe in a world of peace.

Tyranny won’t destroy our european neighborhood!

All profits are being donated to CARE International for Ukraine, providing humanitarian help such as water and food supply, hygiene kits and psychosocial support.

Huge thanks to everyone involved!

Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

Acid 2020 (SKYNET 75's JP8000 Remix)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/ellis-swan
Track: It Could Be Worse
Label: https://soundcloud.com/quindirecords
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, LP
Release date: 12/10/22
YouTube: https://youtu.be/Qhw8ez1rGVY

Drawing the night in around his private, unnerving vigil, Ellis Swan returns to Quindi Records with an album of cracked beauty and haunted balladry. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter debuted on the label last year with a collaborative project called Dead Bandit, a vividly produced instrumental set in thrall to the badlands and a laconic, languid Americana.
Under his own name, Swan records intimate, poetic songs in a stark fashion, so fragile they might disintegrate in between your fingers were you to pick them up. He draws the microphone close to pick up every whisper and drags the music through layer upon layer of tape fuzz, leaving room for atmospheric impressions which loom out of the walls like the ghosts of past misdeeds. These pieces play on the natural distortion and delirium which occurs at the farthest end of the night – the hour before dawn might hope to break the veil of darkness.
Swan’s is a hauntological sound, but like the late Israeli rockabilly icon Charlie Megira his process strikes a spooked tone past revivalism and out of time or place. The only anchor which places Swan anywhere is the subtle presence of Katherine Swan providing lyrics to ‘3am’ and lyrics and backing vocals to ‘It Could Be Worse’.
The impression cast is of one man and his guitar, but there are other textures tucked into the music – the muffled murmur of a drum machine or a low frequency organ hum, some desolate piano, other treated percussive impulses which might well have been the work of incidental sprites while the four-track was rolling.

Javier Celis a.k.a Mverto Futura is a young Guatemalan producer and multi-instrumentalist, who presents us the new release of Mexico City-based Kyma Komplex label, entitled "Denoche Esmejor", an 8-track mini album where the journey of this young but great project is reflected. 8 exquisite tracks raising the proposal that he has developed until these days, drawing a line between Indie Dance, Nu-Disco and Dark Disco has managed to create a unique sound.

WL//WH is pleased to premiere the cold, alienating, outer spacey opening track, cast in relentless mechanical rhythms, ominous bouncy buzzing basslines, echoing sonar blips, minimal robotic vocals, swept by icy melancholic lonesome synth drifts, to travel over a murky and eerie headspace of electrified dreams.

Straight from the depths of the Italian scene, A-Tweed and Oltrefuturo have materialized Morphism, a collaboration that makes its place as the fifteenth release under Fauna Reve’s main collection. Both artists have paved their way through some international electronic music labels such as Duro Label, Veneno, I Low You and Logical Records, with them also recently working together in the track “Neptune Lullaby” for whypeopledance’s compilation 'WhyPeopleWar - Fundraiser for Ukraine vol.1 & vol.2'.

A journey through some of electronic’s most intriguing passages and endeavors, full of hypnotizing cosmic paraphernalia, Morphism lifts off with “Axis Tilt Winter”, an opener track which perfectly settles the album’s whole atmosphere: dark, mysterious rhythms meeting with synthesizers of a glowing, metallic shine. “Beta Morphism” carves deep into the mind with its powerful percussions and sharp edge synths, while “Taipanic Bite” makes its way with a glowing and scheming exploration of depth and bass.

The trip nears the end with the powerful, percussion-driven “Treeball Alpaka”, a track that sculpts a tight passageway of metallic, futuristic sounds and haunting voices with a sense of menace, and finally settles down with an upbeat, lively remix of this last track, like the enactment of a last-minute escape at the speed of light, out of the mind and hands of Coast2Mago, one of Mexican DJ Theus Mago’s many monikers now with modular producer, coast2c.

Morphism, a work of A-Tweed & Oltrefuturo, and Fauna Reve’s newest release, is a piece that takes glowing movements out of the darkest corners of the night, and won’t pass undetected by connoisseurs of these phenomena. It will be available and ready to add to your collection starting December 9.

The slow and trancey virtuoso from Frankfurt is back to release his solo EP. Each track has its own movement - mysterious, tense, exploring, expanding. Each movement is a medicine for your flesh and soul. The EP also includes great sounds from Greece. The remix by Anatolian Weapons is, as always, something more than just an interpretation.

From the first tribal beats, this EP triggers your body to want to move, something we're sorely lacking these days. We hope you can shake off the pandemic cobwebs to these tunes, wherever you are.
