Shall Not Fade Discography_part2

Shall Not Fade sub-label Lost Palms welcomes DJ Psychiatre (Sylvain Creton) to its cadre for an extended EP of hypnotic house, following on from his stellar contribution to Shall Not Fade’s 5 Years compilation. The enigmatic French producer has always let his music speak for itself, and on Never Complain he cures lockdown blues with a collection of tracks that are uplifting and carefree.

DJ Psychiatre channels classic deep house and laid back, sultry vibes across the record. ‘I Was There’ is built around a funky bassline but isn’t overstated, tempting the listener in with swirling synths. In contrast, ‘Very Funky, Very Soulful’ is exactly that: a grooving number that gets your hips moving. Genre-hopping, Creton then presents us with a rigid techy number in ‘Never Complain’, still making way for some dusty soulful chords in a callback to his lofi roots. On the B-side, ‘Bouncing Back’ ups the tempo - pacey and danceable hard-hitting house. ‘Keep This Sound Going’ is a swinging piece, somewhere between lounge jazz and house music for the early hours, and there’s some old-school deep tech stylisation in the infectious bassline of ‘Feelings - Xdeep mix’. Seductive whispers that tempt the dancer give way to a syncopated rhythm and funky, slapping bass in the record’s climax, ‘Le Ciel’. With an elongated 303-laden outro, it’s as if Creton doesn’t want the music to end - and neither do we.

Never Complain EP drops 26th March via Lost Palms.

Prayer For Peace is the latest LP from Melbroune-hailing nu-jazz maestro Ziggy Zeitgeist and his band, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange. This is Ziggy’s first full-length project with his current lineup based in Berlin since having moved there in the summer of 2019, and the first to be released on newly-founded label, Get Together Collective. Recorded over a 3-day period in the revered Jazzanova studios in Berlin, and with engineering and mixing handled by master producer Axel Reinemer, this album serves up an ecstatic 8-track showcase of the band’s freewheeling, live-jam oriented approach to jazz-fusion-inspired groove-making.  

	Clocking in at track six on the album, “Tightrope” balances many of the various elements that make Ziggy and co.’s music so electrifying. The opening half of the track, which features a mix of steady percussion, warbly bass, funky keys, congas and bongos, feels in line with much of the tradition of jazz-fusion pioneers of the past. But what easily could have become mere pastiche soon escalates into something entirely unique and entrancing. The beat steadily grows more erratic and unfettered once it passes the halfway point, with the tempo and build-up hinting at a techno-like drop. The band never quite lets the track devolve into a state of pure sonic catharsis, however, as they wrangle it back into the jazz-fusion rhythm they so expertly established in the opening half, while still allowing it to develop and evolve in organic ways until petering out at the end.

Ziggy and his cohort liberally take elements from various genres and styles to pay homage to them, while effortlessly staging jaw-dropping feats of experimentation and improvisation. A tough balancing act, indeed, but one that they pull off with panache.

🎧 Straight from the cave [album]
🙌 elro

"Straight from the cave" is a raw yet refined exploration of lofi’s endless possibilities. Across its tracks, elro demonstrates a masterful ear for creative sample flipping, reshaping fragments of sound into something both fresh and familiar. Smooth, mellow keys serve as the album’s heartbeat, while wobbly melodies drift in and out like half-formed memories. The beats are organically played, rich with human imperfection, and rooted in a groove that feels lived-in rather than programmed. Lo-Fi nostalgia hums through every corner, wrapped in subtle layers of texture, while flashes of smooth jazz peek through with elegance. At the same time, hip hop energy runs deep in the bones of this record ~ steady, grounded, and undeniably rhythmic. Straight from the Cave isn’t just background music; it’s an immersive experience that balances grit with warmth, spontaneity with intention. A carefully crafted journey that feels like both an excavation and a celebration.
