Miss U Much (silversound Remix) [free dl]

“Impermanence” is the first independently-released single by Portland, OR-based DJ and producer silversound.

Nineties house piano, dubby synth stabs, and a bubbling bassline ride a swishy 909 beat, accented by giddy snare rolls and a snarling Reese bass.

The title, inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and Pema Chödrön, honors the acceptance of impermanence as a fact of life, and the gratitude for life’s preciousness that arises from that acceptance.

I’m an instrument of nature
You must be from out of this world

I’m an instrument of nature

Boy they had me fooled before 
Cleverness, how I cloak 
Wasn’t in on your jokes 
Running, running in circles 

I can transmute, rest assured 
Men who jump overboard
Chronicle to the shore  
Think it’s conditional

Got that incognito love 
Yeah, your love never fills me up
Make that candle drip like -
ta-da-da-da-da-da 
I’m an instrument of nature

I’m an instrument of nature
You must be from out of this world

You’re not like the other ones
The art of letting go 
You still threading that rope? 
Falling deeper and deeper 

Camera flashing, vertigo 
No privacy when you’re known 
Healing old scars, antidotes 
Can’t break what’s cyclical

Got that incognito love 
Yeah, your love never fills me up
Make that candle drip like -
ta-da-da-da-da-da 
I’m an instrument of nature

I’m an instrument of nature
You must be from out of this world

I’m an instrument of nature

Got that incognito love 
Yeah, your love never fills me up
Make that candle drip like -
ta-da-da-da-da-da 
I’m an instrument of nature...

I’m an instrument of nature
You must be from out of this world

I’m an instrument of nature

Concett Bradley - House Full Of Men (silversound Full-Femme Remix)

I’m obsessed with educating myself about the origins of dance music. I'm not the first to say this, but it’s so important to remember that all of house and techno is derived from disco, which evolved out of soul and RnB. All of these genres were pioneered by people who dared to express themselves in defiance of the immense oppression and persecution they faced in their daily lives.

And who dared express himself more flamboyantly than Sylvester? A soul singer at heart, he and Patrick Cowley revolutionized the sound of disco in San Francisco. Sylvester is inspirational to me because in art and in life, he fearlessly embraced his authentic self: black, femme, and queer!

When I found the acapella for “Mighty Real” at Streetlight Records in the Castro, I knew I wanted to do something special with it. By setting Sylvester’s timeless vocal to searing, full-throttle techno, I aspire to honor his legacy and also look to the future of dance music.

This remix is a tribute to the Queen of Disco (and, by extension, to all the originators of dance music). It reminds me that all dance music is disco. It reminds me of the past and present pioneers of civil rights. It reminds me to check my privileges—to examine myself in relation to the people who lived and created (dance music’s) history. Most importantly, it reminds me that all art must help make the world a better place: by spreading joy, by undermining hate, and by challenging expectations.

I hope this song helps to make the world a better place.

David Silver, April 7, 2015, San Francisco, CA.

Mighty Real (silversound Tribute Remix)

New York queen Marti Gould Cummings knows what she wants: DICK! And she knows how to get it. Come along as Marti and Big Dipper hit the club cruising for big, thick man meat! The “Original Mix” is a high-energy club banger serving super-sized house beats and a hilarious, irresistible hook. The “Fish Mix” is all Marti all the time, and FWB label-head David Sylvester brings the party to a Berlin sex dungeon with a heavy techno remix that features churning synth stabs and a commanding snare rush.

Bottom Forty’s first release perfectly represents the eclectic, adaptive aesthetic that the collective has proudly cultivated. N.D.S.F. is the serendipitous collaboration between Bottom Forty’s creator @Nark, Friends With Benefits Records label honcho @davidsylvester, and soon-to-be LA-based producer powerhouse @futurewife. Weaving samples of their favorite records into original songwriting, “Fine On Your Own” is a seemingly light-hearted house track that turns deep, with a pounding yet cosmic 303 that beats on your chest while the vocal samples keep your spirits high. By the end of the breakdown, the infectious melody of “Fine On Your Own” has worked it’s way into your head, and you’ll find yourself dancing to it all night long.

While the original track synthesizes each producer’s style, the accompanying remixes transform “Fine On Your Own” into each individual artist’s world of dance music. Nark’s remix brings “Fine On Your Own” into the dark, vibrating basements where industrial subtleties make their return into techno, whereas David Sylvester’s mix juxtaposes the acidic and atmospheric elements of the original, tying them together with dubbed out synth stabs, and finally Futurewife’s mix pulls "Fine On Your Own" into the climax of a party rocking set with its driving nu-disco vibe.

Fine On Your Own (Original)

“Young Forever” by producer David Sylvester and vocalist/dancer/performance artist Saturn Rising (aka King Saturn) gets seven all-new remixes by a diverse group of outstanding producers. Eddie Gessford combines future-vogue brawn with dub’s half-time beauty in his throbbing reinterpretation. Multimedia performance artist vainhein unleashes an industrial assault, adding teeth to the tenderness of the original. Seattle-based duo Cid & Fancy (aka Futurewife and Rob Hanlon) fake you out with a delicate 2-step tease that builds into a pummelling bass-heavy climax. The industrial broken beats and moody atmospherics of Vincent Parker’s reconstruction, while leaving the original’s vocal structure intact, create an entirely new emotional experience. Baltimore club duo Normaling (aka Lemz & .rar Kelly) pull no punches, delivering a fierce vogue treatment ready to slay the floor. ONE55 gives the track the club treatment with a stripped-down arrangement and a heavy bass line. The deep house version by North Carolina-based producer Lady Fingers reconstitutes the sounds of the original into a spacey dance floor meditation. The release closes with remastered versions of the Original Mix and the radio-friendly Single Edit.

Italian duo Hard Ton are a flamboyant synthesis of acid house, disco-diva vocals, and queer performance art. “Blame It On The E” is a previously-unreleased acid and piano-driven gem from Hard Ton’s back catalog. Originally incorporated into a DJ mix by Dimitri From Paris, “Blame It On The E” is seeing official release for the first time with an EP on Friends With Benefits Records. The release includes new remixes of the title track from Berlin-based Juan Ramos (Cocktail d’Amore, ESP Institute) and FWB label head the Prey (formerly known as David Sylvester). The EP also includes a special bonus track: the previously-unreleased Matrixxman dub of “We Got Luv.”

2MR welcomes a genuine techno tour de force: Seattle’s https://soundcloud.com/nark

As the man behind some of the city’s most progressive, inclusive and famously fizzy parties such as Dickslap, his selector and party host stripes precede him. His productions will do soon, too. Here’s your proof… A debut eight track behemoth entitled ‘Empty Void’

Four originals, four remixes, Nark reveals his full spectrum right here: from the spatial oddity and calming trippiness of the title track to the alien swamp creatures of ‘Sunrise Climb’ via the poisonous 303 of ‘Acid Night Cap’ and the zoning tubular hypnotiser ‘Carl’s K Hole’, this is the sound of a man who doesn’t just understand dancefloors through years of playing to them… But knows how to push them to the edge and bring them back from the brink, too.

Naturally the remixes are equally forthright and boundary-blurring. Ex-Azari & III’s Ali X and his partner in technoid crime Ximena twist up ‘Empty Void’ into a broken beat rattler, Portland provocateur The Prey has us writhing amid the Roland muck on ‘Acid Night Cap’ while https://soundcloud.com/octoocta has us all gliding with her precision percussive twist to ‘Sunrise Climb’. Finally the label bossman https://soundcloud.com/mike-simonetti gets involved in the action with a cosmically minded take on ‘Carl’s K-Hole’, bringing Sagan’s sample to outer-planetary new levels.

Welcome to the void… There’s no turning back now.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Krake Festival, we have compiled this compilation of tracks by artists who played for us over the last 10 years and from labels who have donated for our raffle. It would have been too much to ask all of the artists we love, so we have come up with this selection. One third of the tracks have previously been released, but the majority have never seen daylight before and are exclusive to this release. There was no limit in style or genre, so the compilation is as diverse as our festival, crossing over from ambient/drone to industrial techno, from techno to wave.

All buyers will automatically take part in our charity raffle/tombola with great prizes from numerous record labels and industry tech partners. 
The profits from this compilation will be donated 50% to Seawatch and 50% to the inclusive project Ick Mach Welle, which teaches people with learning disabilities how to make electronic music.

Thanks to everyone for supporting this project!
