JIM PHOENIX [CROOKED FIRE] SAMPLER

Soft Robotics

“CC:DISCO distils the sun-dappled house NRG of her DJ sets into her debut single for Phantasy.  ‘Chez Moi’ features Janet Planet from Aussie electro pop duo Confidence Man, who lends a hazy vocal refrain to CC:DISCO’s sun-kissed synth plucks, trancey samples and pumping beat. It feels laser-focused on the festival floor – the sort of tune that becomes 10 times as powerful as the sun begins to set. ‘Out Of Your Mind’ is a touch more nocturnal, but no less euphoric. Its deep grooves, velvety vocal samples and echoing synths take influence from iconic New York house clubs like Sound Factory or Danceteria – a sweet, sweaty blend of hedonism and glamour.” DJ MAG

The latest release by the Mexican avant-garde label Akumandra is founder Sainte Vie’s three track auditive voyage: From Desolate Places and Forgotten Times. Going beyond previous experimentation with sound assemblage and sampling from non-western musical traditions, Sainte Vie crafts his signature mesmerizing soundscapes by combining dreamlike synth textures, monumental drops and vibrant melodies that feel deeply melancholic. Insistent arpeggios and expansive build ups bind the tracks together in an ebb and flow of dynamic energy. 

High Seas 
Overlaid synth patterns, like waves, propel us into a mixed-percussion drop that settles on a harmonic calm before another surge of synth arpeggios drive us farther along into the thrilling sensation of voyage. 
		
Whale
Disembodied vocals, like cetaceans communicating, echo each other, creating a ghostly undercurrent to the vigorous percussion and futuristic synth arpeggios. 

Darko
Backed by an eerie melody and punctuated by a lead-heavy bass drum, a deep, guttural voice plunges us into the dark flow of time.

Spectral in theme and profoundly engaged with the sensorial quality of music, Sainte Vie’s EP transports the listener to a place that feels distant like uncharted waters, yet familiar like a memory.
