Artist: Maxime Dangles
Title: Les Délivrés LP
Format: Album (vinyl / digital)
Release date: February, 17th 2023
Label: Lifeguards

Author of the soundtrack of the documentary "Les Délivrés" by Thomas Grandremy, the reference of electronic music Maxime Dangles extends his composition work with this album. The alienation, stress, struggle and hope of the documentary's protagonists were his sources of inspiration. The soundtracks of the journey of these bicycle delivery men have been transformed into tracks to carry the struggle of Damien, Clément and Yoro further and continue to denounce the excesses of capitalism. A work that poetically extends the poignant and necessary work of the director, with an impeccable and immersive sound design, enamelled with dialogues from the documentary.

The result is nine tracks between ambient, IDM and electronica, exploring the story from all angles and feelings; from union demands and the struggle with "Affrontement", an incisive track inviting reflection to raw and metallic sounds or "Révolte", on the borders of destructured club music and IDM; from hope to dreams with the contemplative and deep "Velibre", “Matin Bleu” and "Liberate" or the melodious "Vitesse"; anguish and disillusionment with "Operate", the melancholic "Matin Rose" or the experimental and immersive "Mauvais Rêve", punctuated with the voices of the documentary.

A militant sound narrative of great finesse, affirming the richness of Maxime Dangles' production work and his ability to draw singular landscapes from which strong emotions emerge, following in the footsteps of Hans Zimmer, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' original soundtracks, while exploring the most experimental side of club music.

'Les Délivrés' LP will be available on vinyl and digital February, 17th on Lifeguards - a new sub-label of Astropolis Records, and Maxime Dangles will premiere his new live show at Astropolis l'Hiver February, 11th alongside Kittin & The Hacker, SPFDJ, Volition Immanent, Infravision or Zohar.

Profits will be donated to French association Utopia 56:
The vinyl will be distributed by Bigwax and all profits will be donated to Utopia 56, a humanitarian association that helps exiled people and anyone in distress in France. Since 2015, the association has been present in Calais to provide emergency material aid and denounce human rights violations and police violence, and through numerous actions throughout France. The association provides emergency aid on the ground for vulnerable people, particularly unaccompanied minors, through outreach activities, distribution of food and shelter.

Another year, another reason to celebrate our shared love of soundscapes and the stories told in between the magic. Welcome to the 6th installment of FFF featuring one of PlugCitys finest selectas, presenting the multifaceted and quirky Karmerr 🍀

You asked and now we've got her on the pod to share with us a very light hearted and housey aspect of her genre fluidity, telling stories has always been one of her best abilities and we at FFF are honoured and enthralled to be showcasing another young up and coming artist who has been making waves in 2023.

I think it's safe to say that we look forward to what she has in store for us in the new year, this mix is an example of the perfect way to start off our year and represents the beginning as we get started with the Johannesburg based DJ.

We look forward to her Live IG Q&A as she tells us more about her story. With that being said...

Emerging from the depths of dub techno and deep atmospheric realms, Aurumm makes a striking statement with the release of "Verdor" under the aegis of Play Function Issues. Scheduled for release on Friday, February 23, 2024, this EP showcases the Colombian producer's ability to fuse vibrant sonic landscapes with a specific concept.

"Verdor" comprises four dubbed & lush tracks, each a look into Aurumm's manipulation of sound and texture. The record sets the tone with its hypnotic space of blended synths and undulating rhythms, drawing the listener into a lush auditory canopy. Delving into the verdant soundscape, with its lush layering and bass lines that resonate with the soul of dub techno.

Aurumm explores the intricacies of electronic music, creating a mesh of sound that is both complex and harmonious. It is the epitome of a soundscape. The synthesis of reverberated atmospheres with tight, pulsating grooves creates tracks that immersive you in the idea he is trying to get across. The essence of the "Verdor" – a journey through sonic forestry, where each track blossoms into an ecosystem of sound, reflecting the vibrant and dynamic nature of the natural world.

Verdor EP

PREMIERE: Aurumm - Amoena [Play Function Issues]

Feel Fly, the alias of Perugia-based producer Daniele Tomassini, a visionary force in Italy’s electronic music scene and co-founder of Afro Templum, debuts on Taste Rec. with his new EP.

Titled "Festina Lente", an old Latin saying that means "make haste slowly", this deep work invites listeners to surrender to dance, movement, and the flow of energy in a timeless space, untouched by the idea of an ending. It's sincere and atmospheric, moving through the artist’s musical roots: progressive sounds, cosmic moods and a touch of lightness drawn from Italian dance culture.
The release blends carefully sacred, dreamy visions with raw rhythmic sequences and warm synthesized basslines: magical.

A futuristic soundtrack for an ancient ritual.
