Falling by Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks Theme) Stretched

Gloucestershire, UK based artist Andrew Heath returns to Whitelabrecs, following up on his album ‘Quiet Noise’ (2022) and collaborations with Simon McCorry ‘A Is For Autumn’ (2022) and Anne Chris Bakker ‘How To Breathe Like A Stone’ (2021). Andrew has also released music on labels including Fluid Audio, Disco Gecko, Audiobulb, Dronarivm, Shimmering Moods and more, through his solo output and collaborations with other artists.

Charting a lighter more open sound than recent albums, The Cloud Machine returns to and explores one of Andrew’s constant themes - his continuing fascination with and the depiction of, the simple innocence of his own childhood. In this case, a sound painting of light, radiance and naive joy through the metaphor of clouds and of a gaze drawn to the skies. From the ethereal beauty of The Cloud Machines and The Age of Enlightenment, to the memories of racing the shadows of clouds blown by the wind across fields as a young boy in Chasing Clouds, there is the ever present feel of blissful, innocence and wonderment at the beauty of the natural world around and above us.

The album explores these themes through Andrew’s use of his much loved piano and guitar and balancing them against constantly shifting, delicate and fragile electronic tones and textures. Using a lighter, more transparent tonal palette, The Cloud Machine has a gentle, blissful tone as though touching the drifting clouds overhead.

Aiko Takahashi - Vases À Iris

Pre-order 'Trance Frendz' on LP/DL: www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP081
or digitally iTunes: snip.ftpromo.net/trancefrendz

Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

Jon Hopkins - I Remember (phii Mix)

After a three-year-long hiatus, Lone's marks the return of his Magicwire label with Lance Neptune's Animal Eclipse. The six tracks of ethereal sounds reintroduce the imprint aptly, with "Janus" coming up trumps for us. Synthesised brass stabs and a broken syncopated beat slots perfectly into sonic parallels with Lone's former Reality Testing and Galaxy Gardens on Magicwire's parent label, R&S. A well versed, well loved sound that gives us another much needed glimpse of sun.

Catch Animal Eclipse dropping in full on 12 February 2016.

Shimmering Moods @ Resonance Extra #1 (20.7.2016)

Sassy J might be a relatively new name on the scene, but she's an old pro when it comes to DJing and collecting records. Her experience comes through strongly in her sets, which tend to move freely between genres while maintaining a warm, soulful core. That was exactly the case when she hit the decks at Corsica Studios in the early hours of the Sunday.

"A REIMAGINATION OF AN OLD MIX THAT NEVER SURFACED.

SPACE, INTRIGUE AND TENDERNESS WERE THE CENTRAL THEMES DRIVING THIS MIX. THESE ARE CERTAINLY THE KEY FEELINGS I DREW UPON WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO COMPILE THE TAPES WHICH EVOLVED INTO MY EARLY RADIO SHOWS.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE I FACED WAS FIGHTING THE TURBULENT ENERGY THAT UNDERLIES THE CLUB SETS I'VE BEEN PLAYING SO MUCH OF RECENTLY. BOTH MEANS OF SELECTION ARE INHERENTLY DEBONAIR, AND STRIVING TO MAINTAIN SOME FORM OF UNITY BETWEEN THESE TWO OPPOSING ASPECTS OF MY PERSONALITY IS WHAT I FIND MOST DIFFICULT WHILE PROGRESSING AS AN ARTIST AND HUMAN BEING."
