Dead Heat - Bosco EP
LAD015

Life and Death returns to its indie roots with this fresh sounding release from new artist, Dead Heat. The trio, formerly known as Esperanza, counts deep psychedlic influences (among others) as a significant factor in their well developed sound. Here they present two original tracks which frame two sides of an idea, a ying and yang of a raw and emotional journey across a modern alternative landscape with nods to the indie and alternative music of decades past.

Bosco is the darker of the two with a powerfully raw and driving bass that sounds like a modern day Morphine set on a Blade Runner-esque backdrop. Paired with a haunting and plaintive vocal it's an impressive force they make -- which makes the beautiful guitar and piano that come in towards the end all the more impressive in their counterpoint.

Remixing Bosco is Berghain resident and techno producer extraordinaire, Lucy. Here he takes the track to even darker and deeper territories as he creates a fine piece of well crafted techno that keeps elements of the original but twists them well to make them his own. Just what you might imagine hearing deep in the bowels of that Berlin insitution.

The Dam is the yang to Bosco's yin with a lighter more hopeful sound but with no less emotion wrapped inside. Here the piano and guitar takes the foreground earlier, to be later framed by a chugging bass and atmospheric synths that work together to create a blissful musical trip.

Taking remixing duties for The Dam is The Field, the project of talented Swedish musician Axel Willner. Mixing sonic soundscapes and classic songwriting, his take on Dead Heat's original is an impressive slice of both. A truly elegant interpretation of the original that stays with the listener long after the last note has sounded.

PREMIERE: Solarythm - Future Visions (SHFT Remix) [Charybdis]

Life and Death ® Catalogue Number: LAD021
Artist: Recondite
Title: Think Twice
Format: Digital / 12”
Release Date 20 April 2015

Tracklisting:
A: Think Twice
B: Serak

All tracks written and produced by Recondite.

Recondite - Think Twice EP
A long time friend of the label and an artist who needs no introduction, Recondite presents two unique techno narratives for his much anticipated first EP on Life and Death.

Up first and straight out the gate like the turning of the great Boethian wheel, Think Twice turns over and on top of itself again, like the march of time and the fortunes of paupers and princes alike. An ever advancing urgent reminder of the transitory nature of the eternal now, it graces us with her beauty and leaves us with a shaking sensation deep in our bones. 

On the B side, Serak begins with a bellowing bass emitted like a series of holotropic breaths from belly of Stanislav Grof himself. A sequence of sounds sent like a fishing line to the depths of the psyche, it returns with a portentous melody that winds and wanders until exploding midway thru the piece in a burst of restrained emotion.

Following on from their Record Store Day ‘Looped EP’ release, which featured remixes by Dauwd and Lubomyr Melnyk, Kiasmos – made up of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen – return with three new tracks and a remix by Tale Of Us.

Recorded in various locations including Reykjavík and Berlin, the EP opens with ‘Drawn’, a four-minute percussion fuelled track with gentle piano motifs. ‘Gaunt’ features the addition of ambient synths and a drum loop, underpinned by slow-moving chords. Title track ‘Swept’ which the duo offered to fans as a surprise gift in form of a free download card at previous show dates, showcases a more club-oriented beat structure alongside Kiasmos’ signature emotive instrumentation. 
 
Closing the EP is a remix from Berlin-based duo Tale of Us who met Kiasmos in London and twist the original downbeat title track
into their distinctively dark aesthetic. Pulsating hats and a driving bass loop add pace as the track builds toward an epic breakdown.

The ‘Swept EP’ will be released on 12”/DL via Erased Tapes on November 20th, 2015.

Kiasmos - Swept (Tale Of Us Remix)

We have the EXCLUSIVE premiere of the upcoming Chapter 24 track from Sam Pauli & Paul Nolan feat. Reiver!

By convention, sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, colour is colour; but in truth there are only atoms and the void. So it goes.

Chapter 24's fourteenth chapter sees label co-founders Sam Pauli & Paul Nolan continue their collaboration with Atoms. Witness the reaction that occurs when these two electrifying artists enter the same creative orbit. Joining them on this release are talents Miyagi and Danny Oliveira, for a stellar body of material.

Pauli and Nolan are at their best on Atoms, delivering a wonderful piece of electronic music. The Instrumental Edition is all glistening arpeggios and cosmic pads; whilst these fuse with the soaring vocals of fellow Chapter 24 artist Reiver on the Original.

The nature of atoms lies far below our powers of observation. Since atoms cannot be seen, their movements, too, escape us. As atoms travel through the void, they swerve from their course. Were it not so, they would remain forever isolated, and never meet to form the complexity of the universe. 

There are only atoms and the void. So it goes. 

But hold a mirror up to the void and you will discover that it is by no means empty nothingness. It contains particles of light which flicker in and out of existence.

Beyond the atoms, there is hope...

Returning to Juicebox Music is Delhi-based DJ/Producer extraordinaire, Vipul Angirish, under his new alias - SHFT, leaving his past sound to focus on a new approach - aimed towards the bold, clean and sonically creative aspects of underground house and techno. His collaborations with fellow Indian artist Kohra, as well as his own endeavours, have been released on Riley Reinhold's "Traum Schallplatten", Darin Epsilon's "Perspectives Digital", Dave Davis' "Laark Records", TrockenSaft's "KDB Records", Pete Oak's "Blindfold Recordings" and their very own "Qilla Records" to name a few. For Juicebox Music, he presents a stunning 2-track EP showcasing his subconscious influences as well as his finesse as a producer. 

'Memoir' starts with melancholic piano parts, provided by SHFT's musical mentor - Prabir, smoothly drifting into and out of jovial sections that inevitably create a dramatic soundscape. SHFT's signature modern and minimal approach to the groove, pulsated by sharp chord stabs, panned hats and sparsely thrown percussive bits, drives Prabir's story into the epic breakdown, featuring a gorgeous guitar riff courtesy of SHFT's colleague - Rushil, finally culminating in a monstrous moment that's simply irresistible.

Inspired by the intense and ominous cinematic soundtracks, SHFT takes those elements to the floor with 'Second Sight'. Thunderous and crisp drums along with a simple bass groove, that cleverly mimics a clock ticking away, supply the bed for horn-based drone blasts, arpeggiated string sections, soaring leads and carefully placed piano parts. The devil is in the details and simplicity and that's where the beauty hides.

An iconic name that stretches back over a decade, Embliss returns to Proton Music courtesy of the thematic, "Soria Moria", further enhanced by remixes from Australian and Irish icons.

Firmly ensconced in his adopted Norwegian home, Dutch artist, Tim Brandwijk, has been a prominent figure in the progressive scene with his Embliss moniker since early work for breaks-centred, Morphosis Records. Subsequently going onto to release on industry leaders, Silk Music, Armada and Anjunadeep, Embliss' Proton Music history is centred around 2013's "Stronghold" EP and a glorious remix of Dousk's "Look Good Tonight". Taking its musical cues with haunting melodies and tension-filled keys that reference the "Soria Moria" castle from classic Norwegian fairy-tale, the title track is rich in atmosphere and saturated refrains, with audio glue provided by a metronomic beat, fizzing hi hat percussion and tightly locked bass groove. "Lone Wolf" immediately impress with its strong broken-beat rhythm that references a golden musical era. A huge bassline adds warmth and depth in equal measure while the rippling melodies central to the Embliss sound make their presence felt in impressive detail. Textured pads and a chorus of subtle, pitched effects add depth and intrigue in a track full of poise, craft and originality.

An Irish producer, of similar musical significance, Silinder, has been a consistently high-profile figure in the underground progressive scene. A regular on Proton Music since a December 2011 remix of Lank's "Needless Solution", a trio of themed original EPs saw "Corrupt", "Solas" and "Basement" bookmark the Silinder production career between 2012 and 2015. A clutch of blue-chip remixes for Dousk, Navar and Andre Sobota have showcased another skillset and it is a pleasure to welcome him back with a typically flowing remix of Embliss. Reworking "Soria Moria", Silinder cleverly interprets the central melodic and bass themes, transforming them with his trademark flair. Framed by a rapid-fire hi hat percussion and club-friendly rolling groove, his skill is to provide a swathe of new production material that reaches its zenith at the breakdown and captures the essence of Embliss' work while creating a stirring new interpretation.

Matter has become a regular contributor to the Proton Music catalogues since a July 2015 debut remixing Biologik. Often with fellow countryman, GMJ, the pair have featured with a host of original production material, centred around the "Superposition", "Osmosis" and "Interscope" EPs while solo outings via "Pronoia" and "We Are Dust" in May 2016 and November 2017 have seen the "deep synth lines and driving bass" from the Australian's studio light up the label. Returning after a solo remix of Hot TuneiK in August 2018, the typically varied sonic palette that he uses to paint such vivid aural pictures, find Matter reinvigorating "Lone Wolf" with a glorious array of motifs and symphonic elements that reach their denouement in an extended breakdown that showcases Matter's continually growing skill and ingenuity. A strong rhythmic pattern and mesmerising groove add further to work of pure imagination.

A new sonic venture from the Embliss imagination finds "Soria Moria" steeped in modern musical folklore with remixes from Silinder and Matter.
