It’s a strange world we’re living in and these addictive cuts mirror it well.
Dancing all night in cheerful melancholy with two strictly limited edits. 

The A-side renders gothic synth pop at cruising tempo, spinning a web of tape delay as your mind unravels. A bassline throbs, pistons hiss and a paranoia takes hold of an icy vocal. Lose yourself in the otherwhere.

We step into a pristine wilderness on the B-side, stately pads gliding over a supple rhythm section while tender chimes tug at your heartstrings. Emotion abounds on an instrumental which never was. Big boys do cry, and this dove’s weeping over broken wings…

Strange World

Sello: @rumpelmusig
Productor: @kalaspatz

Estrenamos uno de los tracks del próximo album de Kalabrese para la etiqueta rumpelmusig.

Nuestro querido y aclamado productor Sacha Winker aka Kalabrese, a quien apenas hay que presentar, tiene un nuevo largo titulado Let Love Rumpel (Part 1). De este interesantísimo album de 11 originales, nosotros estrenamos Sitting on a Cornflake, uno de los tracks más relevantes debido a la elegancia en la incorporación de las pistas como la voz de Lara Stoll y él mismo, ambos en la cocina bebiendo Bourbon y hablando de sus héroes favoritos... Próximamente lo entrevistamos en Como las Grecas.

Rosa Anschütz - Goldener Strom Remixes 2
BUY LINK: https://orcd.co/goldenerstromrmxs2
Release date 27th January 2023
Label: BPitch (https://soundcloud.com/bpitch-control)
https://soundcloud.com/rosaanschuetz https://soundcloud.com/umfang

As the impact of Goldener Strom, Rosa Anschütz’s debut LP for BPitch, continues to be felt far and wide, we bring you the second instalment from the remixes package. This two-track release contains compelling reinterpretations from Aasthma and Umfang. Both artists are renowned for their maverick take on electronic music, and their reworks pay homage to the original works in unique style.

Aasthma takes a considered approach with his remix of ‘Sold Out’, composing a downtempo cut that honours the original vocal with a highly emotive instrumental. Sombre drones drive the low end, while a solitary string amplifies the emotional power of this stirring rework.

On the flip, Umfang channels her distinct sound into a spacious and tempered revision of ‘Polished’. Rosa’s vocals rever- berate through this stripped back cut. Subdued drums and bass give the vocals plenty of breathing space on a carefully poised composition that complements Aasthma’s rework.

Autonomous Africa Volume 3

---------------------------

This is the third Autonomous Africa EP, the idea being that one EP is released each year and all proceeds are donated to a charity in Africa. Last year's second volume, along with a fundraising night in Glasgow and another in London raised several thousand pounds for the Mtandika Mission in Tanzania (more info on that below). Midland grew up in Tanzania and his parents run the aforementioned charity so it feels fitting that AA continues to raise funds for that. Midland has once again contributed a stellar track as has AA stalwart Auntie Flo (who has now contributed to all three releases). This year they are joined by Glasgow funksters General Ludd and then Twitch rounds off the EP. All being well, this year will also see an AA compilation album of music from Africa.

EP tracks are

A1) Midland - Safi
A2) General Ludd - Burning Mack

AA1) Auntie Flo featuring Anbuley - Daabi
AA2) JD Twitch - Maya

All tracks mastered by Matt Colton.

Distribution by Above Board. Released 28th July 2014 on 12". Digital will follow.

A big, warm thank you to I AM in Glasgow and Trouble Vision in London for putting on AA fundraising nights and for their immense generosity.

Why Autonomous Africa?

----------------------

Many of the problems Africa faces are a result of outside interference by other countries, and as the 21st century progresses we will see the continued pillage of African resources to feed the global capitalist machine on an unprecedented scale. Corrupt and greedy regimes gladly sell their land and mineral wealth to finance their own extravagant lifestyles while the vast majority of ordinary people see little or no improvement in their own lives. An autonomous Africa run by the people for the people, where African land is predominantly used to feed African people and Africa's vast wealth of resources is used to benefit the people of Africa seems the only logical way forward. Autonomous Africa's goal is to highlight this message and here presents to you 4 tracks of African inspired grooves.

We fully realise a small run, independently released 12" is going to make very little difference to the world, but doing something has to be better than doing nothing. The idea of an autonomous Africa may be naive and unrealistic, but at some point the world we live in will have to change or future generations are going to be left with very little as we consume way more than our fair share. We have collectively buried our heads in the sand thinking we are powerless to engender change. Individually we have little power but collectively, the power is ours.

About The Mtandika Mission
--------------------------

Mtandika is a large village in the dry Ruaha river valley, 400km west of Dar es Salaam. It is a very poor village.

One of the prime movers in the village is Sister Barberina Mhagala. Since she retired from being Headmistress of the Primary School in 2005, Sister Barberina has been developing a Trade School at Mtandika to provide skills training for girls who are either orphans or have no fees for secondary education. She started by building a classroom and dormitory for the Trade School girls who were given sewing lessons and learning to make garments to sell.

Because many of the children do not have homes locally, accommodation is critical. So Sister then built extra accommodation blocks, not only for some of the girls attending the Trade School but also for some 80 girls attending the local Lukosi Secondary School where there was no accommodation.

The girls are taught to be as self sufficient as possible and as well and grow their own food and rear animals in the school grounds.

Water supply is critical, as water is not only required for every day purposes at the school but for irrigating the shambas [allotments]. Water is currently pumped from the nearby perennial Lukosi river some 500 metres away using a petrol pump. Investigations into a cheaper alternative are being investigated.

Education is essential if Tanzania is to fully develop its full potential and anything is possible given the opportunity. As well as supporting Sister Barberina in her capital expenditure, some 10 of the children at the Trade School and 30 at local Secondary Schools who cannot afford the fees are sponsored by funds raised by the charity.

Fasaan Rec. Episode #11 @ Mutant Radio w/ Prins Emanuel, Golden Ivy & Inre Kretsen Grupp

I didn't leave music for good. I took a break to understand what sound world I was really involved in. Over the years of interacting with various promo groups, clubs, bars, labels in search of recognition I adapted to their conditions, dredged tracks according to their requests or focused specifically on someone's taste. By the end of the path in my former Alter Ego, I realized that I was following fashion exclusively in the hope of catching an imaginary wave of hype, I began to make music not for pleasure at all. All these ambient or hyperpop or house versions of me did not represent why I came to this at all. For these two years I cleared my mind of everything that I had to exchange for. At first it was hard. It seemed that that's it, I will never return to this again, I burned out, burned out so much that the thought of music made me really feel bad, it was scary. Playing dj sets and even more so writing music seemed like some kind of torture and I didn’t force myself to do it. It felt like the whole meaning of my life was destroyed. I stopped listening to electronic music altogether, I needed to leave it for a while. A year ago my ears got back to normal. I started collecting tracks that I really like, that I listen to not because I “have to” to play somewhere or because someone “will like it”, but only what I really like, only good music. In the end I returned exactly to where I started. To the same genres, the same feelings with which I came to this industry many years ago. It was a very interesting experience which led me to the fact that now when I turn on something I know for sure that it’s cool, it’s a style, my style not imposed by anything. Only pure emotions. Only honesty.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

First Deal in Blood

For the last installment of Canela En Surco we had the great honor of having John Talabot as Nohj Atotbal in our home studio. The brains behind Hivern Discs as well as one of the people closest to our friends and supporters Discos Paradiso since they began; a friend of the radio show, and above all, a man that has spent his whole life searching for records and learning how they should be played.

This episode is a great example of exactly that; a master lesson in selecting and mixing that left us speechless for over two hours. Now we want to share this mix with all of you as a celebration of our 100th episode.

You can listen to this and the rest of episodes from our website:

Con motivo del programa número 100 de Canela En Surco tuvimos el gran honor de contar con la presencia de John Talabot como Nohj Atotbal en nuestro estudio casero. 
La cabeza pensante de Hivern Discs es también una de las personas más cercanas a nuestros patrocinadores y amigos de Discos Paradiso desde los comienzos de la tienda; amigo del programa, y sobre todo, una persona que ha dedicado su vida entera a buscar discos y a aprender como deben ser mezclados.
Este programa número 100 de Canela En Surco es un claro ejemplo de lo aquí mencionado; una lección maestra de selección y mezcla que nos dejó con la boca abierta durante más de dos horas, y que desde aquí/ahora queremos compartir con todos vosotros a modo de celebración de nuestro 100 "cumpleaños".

Gracias John! Que el surco te acompañe siempre!
