https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-sentimental-swordsman
Title: The Sentimental Swordsman
Artist: Quiem
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC017
Date: 20/01/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Strayed And Aimless
A2: You Looked So Pretty On My Balcony
A3: Your Singular Courage
B1: My Tiny Engine
B2: On My Mother’s Birthday
B3: Trauma And Its Clutches

Infotext:
With „The Sentimental Swordsman“ Farron slips into the role of his ambient moniker Quiem, telling the emotive story of a man who has lost everyone dear to him and seeking to find inward peace, appreciation, a feeling of security and his capacity for love. 
At the beginning of this narration, The Sentimental Swordsman wanders around with no orientation, feels empty and shows his vulnerable side in „Strayed And Aimless“. A solitary life with a focus on himself and his modest requirements. 
But just one mysterious encounter can change it all. „You Looked So Pretty On My Balcony“ describes the presentiment of lightness and a gentle breeze received through the presence of the new acquaintance.
The Sentimental Swordsman still feels insecure on his journey, but he is not alone anymore and he can somehow feel a warm and buoyant glow in his breast. „Your Singular Courage“ underlines the good intentions, harmony and trust slowly building up between them. 
From now on, fights are taken side by side, individual crises are resolved with the mutual support of each other and risks are taken together. A new team has been formed that seems to be unbeatable. This intimate relationship is presented by the vibe of „My Tiny Engine“. 
They are lightheartedly taking steps into an auspicious future together and enjoying each others company. But the enemy doesn’t sleep. It slowly grows. Evil bubbles up, it comes silently and attacks sneakily. „On My Mother’s Birthday“ describes the wounds resulting from a craven ambush that leaves nothing but pain and pure emptiness. 
Snatched from this new life. Unwonted silence. Feelings of guilt. Fears of loss. A „Trauma And Its Clutches“.

Bursting onto the scene in an emphatic fashion has been the summary over the last couple of months for our next guest, with performances at Mono, Future Intel, Open Source Radio, and Operator she showcased her versatile blend of progressive, electro, breaks, jungle and techno while always advancing the energy levels. For our 252nd episode see prepared a mix ranging from 130 to 172BPM with some carefully selected breaks in between causing some precise dynamism, and at the same time conceiving that proper dancefloor feeling.

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/house-of-traps
Title: House Of Traps
Artist: Farron
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC019
Date: 12/05/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Penny At The Chain					
A2: Wilshire 1015	
B1: Hiatus Phase			
B2: All In CST
B3: Conback

Infotext:
Farron enters faster territories on this record, telling the story of the hunt after the mysterious jade antique that is hidden in the infamous „House Of Traps“. 
After entering the house, one already feels the oppressive atmosphere. The ubiquitous feeling of not being welcome here is obvious when the golden walls invert and you come to face countless swordsmen ready to attack. The vigorous atmosphere of „Penny At The Chain“ boosts up your confidence for what is about to come. 
But what if the intruder is skilled in kung-fu? The mob retreats automatically and bars of iron come down to confine you. „Wilshire 1015“ and its driving bassline, warm pads and whirling breaks will calm you down a bit. But what’s next? 
In the twinkling of an eye, a field of razor-sharp nails come through the floor that you are standing on, and the escape route up the stairway becomes perilous as the stairs suddenly form into an array of sharp blades. „Hiatus Phase“ keeps you focused and light-footed, so you can manage the jump up to the next floor. 
However the next stirring event quickly follows. The moment you feel safe, a giant golden net unexpectedly launches from every direction and traps you in the middle of the room, hung over the floor. As if this wasn’t enough, the mob is rushing back again - armed with bows and arrows. But the varied atmosphere of „All In CST“, its floating pads and filtered breaks energize you, and so you are able to make a getaway from the most lethal attack. 
After dodging the giant blades suddenly swinging in from each side, you are finally there. The golden cage and its arcane content. The warmth of „Conback“ and its sparkling pads slowly fill the room as you open up the cage. Another trap, or a bright future? Find out…

Nine Divines: Pt. 1 (Previews)

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-flying-guillotine-2
Title: The Flying Guillotine 2
Artist: Serenace
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC020
Releasedate: 29/09/2023

Tracklisting:
A1: Current
A2: Aiming From A Distance
B1: Test 21
B2: Current (Farron Remix)


Infotext:
„The Flying Guillotine 2“ is the bloody sequel to Serenace’s first appearance on Shaw Cuts in 2019, continuing the head-lopping violence with a group of freedom fighters lead by the heroic Ma Teng battling against the evil despot Emperor Yung and his reign of terror. 
Teng has developed a protective device, similar to a spiky metal umbrella, that allows him to defend against the deadly flying guillotine attacks of the violent regime. „Current“, its bombastic drum patterns, razor-sharp synth waves and vicious vibe strengthens the rebels to resist the brutal assaults. 
But the Emperor immediately reacts, creating a double flying guillotine to counter Ma Teng’s iron umbrella and the rebel union is left defenseless again. „Aiming From A Distance“, a vivid breakbeat cut combining rolling percussion, arpeggiated synth chords and sirens from hell, raises the rebels' hopes to give them another answer. 
Secret insurgent Na Lan infiltrates the Emperor’s inner circle by gaining his trust with a group of female warriors whom he allows to train with the flying guillotine palace guards. However, Na Lan only wants to steal the plans of the improved weapon and deliver it to the rebel squad, in order to devise another counteracting force. With the crisp bassline and the energy-filled breaks of „Test 21“, the rebels can gain an insight into the elaborated guillotine and find a possible way to defeat it.
Farron’s profound techno version of „Current“ brings in the necessary tension for the final showdown. The improved double flying guillotine VS a new secret defensive system. Will the rebels be able to team up and defeat the tyrant once and for all? No matter what happens, the saga continues.

The Flying Guillotine 2

[SC020] SERENACE - THE FLYING GUILLOTINE 2 (W/ FARRON REMIX)

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/tessen
Title: Tessen
Artist: Farron
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SCDEF01
Date: March 1st of 2024

Tracklisting:
A1: Fortuna Deadstock

Infotext:
Tessen were folding fans with concealed outer spokes made of heavy iron plates. Some swordsmanship schools provided training of the tessen as a weapon. Besides using the razor-sharp spokes as an attacking tool, the tessen was also used as a throwing weapon, for fending off knives and darts and as a swimming aid. Samurai could also secretly take them to places where overt weapons were not allowed.

TESSEN

[SCDEF01] FARRON - TESSEN

https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-flying-dagger
Title: The Flying Dagger
Artist: Cressida
Label: Shaw Cuts
Cat.: SC021
Date: 17/05/2024

Tracklisting:
A1: Cat’s Claw			
A2: Radiate	
B1: Medusa			
B2: Do I Stay
B3: Let The Devil In

Infotext:
„The Flying Dagger“ is Cressida’s first release on Shaw Cuts, which deals with themes of greed, revenge, honor, chivalry and the internal struggle between good and evil that exists within all of us. 
Yu Ying happens upon the scene of an atrocity and double murder. She outrageously kills the perpetrator, who is the son of the infamous Green Dragon Clan boss Jiao Lei. The broken rhythm and heavy hitting drums of „Cat’s Claw“ shine a light on the shocking act of violence.
Upon learning the surprising news, Jiao Lei proclaims war on her and attacks Yu Ying’s father Yu Yuan who manages to escape with his children although he gets severely injured. The pounding drums of „Radiate“ and its thrilling ambiance boosts up the family’s energy and keeps everybody safe.
The pursuit is on and Jian Lei is hell-bent on killing them all, preferentially with his throwing knifes. However, he is thwarted in his plans by the emergence of the mysterious stranger Yang Qing whose ability to throw projectiles rivals that of Jiao Lei. 
„Medusa“ and its percussive lunacy paired with unexpected groove twists guide our hero through times of many tough challenges and evil encounters.
Chief Jiao tries to tempt Yang Qing with money to join his Green Dragon Clan, but our hero can’t be bought. With the help of the furious „Do I Stay“ and its steamroll drum pattern, pushing bassline and raw atmosphere, he comes to the rescue of several victims of the Green Dragon Clan instead.
Yang Qing uses his martial proficiency to fight on the side of society, but is he strong enough for the rousing finale? The bass-heavy vibe of „Let the Devil In“ and its swirling vocal cuts blended with funky breaks and warm pads, send out one more energy before everything is heated up to the max. Step further!

Infotext:
Sometimes, we have the tendency to run away from distress because we do not want to deal with the feeling of pain, but the first step in spiritual healing is overcoming the fears and recognizing the pain. The sooner you address the cause of your difficulty, the sooner you’ll get freedom from the pain. Be aware of your situation.
Once you have faced the source of anxiety, you need to acknowledge the pain. Feel your emotions and question what their sources are. Be honest about your feelings. In this stage, it is normal to feel like situations are beyond your control, which can transfer the feeling of hopelessness. However, by allowing yourself to feel rage, it becomes easier for your wounds to heal. Honor your feelings.
Honoring your pain will teach you self-forgiveness. You should be able to feel the kindness within you and experience all the love you have for yourself. You will feel a conflict between the instinct to heal on your own, and the desire to accept the situation and seek support to get healed. You prove that you have an unwavering determination to get healed by choosing the latter. When you want spiritual healing, you have to place your faith in the universe, too. 
Surrendering the pain means releasing the pain and seeking support from the universe. It will help you ease your sufferings.
The negative ego vanishes from within you and makes your heart feel lighter once you release your pain. This is a sign of spiritual wellness. You will start to feel a deep openness towards things and think with a peaceful mind. You will become whole again and you will develop the ability to deal with the disruptions of your life with tolerance. The inner peace will be restored. Feal.
