Dusty Headnod IV - Hip Hop Beat

PL
Czasami brzydkie rzeczy wywołują w nas ładne emocje. „Main Track” jest moim brzydkim utworem o brzydkich rzeczach, żebym brzydko nie myślał. Forma też jest brzydka, ale ostatnio wszystko wydaje się brzydkie. Jesień jest brzydka, skóra jest brzydka, oczy są brzydkie. Przeszłość jest brzydka, teraźniejszość jest brzydka, ale przyszłość  za to będzie ładna. Ten utwór miał zniknąć gdzieś w przepaści, jeśli nie w szufladzie to przynajmniej na końcu jakiejś składanki. A jednak polubiłem go za bardzo, żeby go ukrywać. Stąd też nazwa Main Track...

Sometimes ugly things can evoke beautiful emotions in us. “Main Track” is my ugly track about ugly things, a way for me not to think ugly thoughts. The form is ugly too, but lately everything seems ugly. Autumn is ugly, skin is ugly, eyes are ugly. The past is ugly, the present is ugly, but the future will be beautiful. This track was supposed to disappear into the void, if not in a drawer, then at least at the end of some compilation. Yet I ended up liking it too much to hide it. Hence the name Main Track…

Main Track

Big one incoming! Floating in from the cosmic shore comes outer space traveller and other dimension explorer, Fred Sheperd aka No Moon. First turning heads on Hungarian imprint ‘Blorp’ earlier in 2016 with a 10” two track offering, we are fit to burst with excitement at the prospect of sharing his debut 12”…

Opening the A, ‘Manc1010101’ sees us depart from the lush green planet earth and scorch through the atmosphere in a burst of punching subs, clattering snares and flying melodies. Looking back through the waves of resonant haze we see our home shrinking into the distance. 

‘Nothing Else Matters’ opens with the weightiest kick you’ll hear this side of Alpha Centauri, constructed from the blackest dark matter known to man, this behemoth underpins our journey as we push on through the inner planets. Smashing through the asteroid belt we emerge in the shadow of the gas giant, Jupiter. Ethereal wandering pads and a warbling 303 frame our perspective in the presence of such critical mass before a soundscape of lightning bolts crashes down and we are propelled onwards by the hungry, pulsating sine wave bass…

On the flip, engines are now running hot as we are flung through the outer planets – ‘Listing Lazily to the Left’ soundtracks our journey past the majestic Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, blazing through space. This is a cosmic jam of celestial quality; improv jazz keys, languid stepped basslines and deliciously skittish percussion all shimmering in a bath of otherworldly distortion. Next level stuff!

Finally, ‘Everything’s Coming up Millhouse’ sees us break free of the restraints of our solar system and into the deep recesses of outer space. Swelling pads give way to a mesmeric percussive hook, deep subs lend weight and rhythm and interplaying melodies build a yearning sense of retrospection. We have travelled far, and what a journey.

But can we ever go back?

H-001-A

Parallel Minds is a group of like-minded musicians, DJs, and graphic artists working together to bring compelling, progressive electronic music from Toronto, Canada to the rest of the world. Spearheaded by Ciel, and newcomers Daniel 58, and Yohei S.—who have variously released music on labels like Shanti Celeste’s Peach Discs, Allergy Season, Coastal Haze, and Neo Violence—the collective offers on its inaugural VA release four diverse cuts of house, breakbeat, and hardcore to energize your body and comfort your soul. The A side features two slamming house cuts, with the A1 offering by Discwoman signee Ciel and A2 by Yohei S. Clocking in at a frenetic 134BPM, "Hind Sight is 360" is a peak-time dancefloor banger featuring what has become trademark characteristics of Ciel's productions: intricate drum programming and lush, jungle-inspired pads. "Eastern Rankin" is a slower, more hypnotic percussion track that demonstrates incredibly effective use of space and delay. Its minimalist structure and echoing drums would sound ideal in a dark warehouse. The B side opens with an even bigger bang, with a track that would best be described as Indian hardcore. "Mana Sadhana" by Raf Reza under his new alias, Radiant Aura Faculty, is a vibrant mixture of Hindi vocal samples layered meticulously in between freaked-out synths and thumping breakbeat drums. Completing the B side is the aptly-titled "Space Bubble" by Daniel 58. Drawing on influences from ambient, trance, and breaks, the promising Toronto artist closes out the release on a dreamy note, employing nostalgic melodies on top of tough-as-nails drums and deep rolling sub-bass. As first releases go, Parallel Minds One offers a taste of something for everyone, from a city that has perhaps been overlooked but deserves a second (third, and fourth) listen.

Peramen! A Compilation for Belarus

“Change! Our hearts demand it. Change! Our eyes demand it”, sings Kino’s Viktor Tsoi in “Peremen”. This song may now be heard on the streets of not just Minsk and Grodno, but also Babruysk, Brest, Gomel, Mogilev, Pinsk, Vitebsk and what – at least to a foreign onlooker – looks like countless Belarussian cities and towns engulfed in protest. Following years of Alexander Lukashenko’s rule, another rigged election, omnipresent violence perpetrated by the state apparatus, censorship and draconian laws, the people have taken to the streets en masse. This is not the first time the Belarusians are out to protest, but the scale of these disturbances is unprecedented. Also unprecedented is the fact the rallies are led by women, who head the peaceful marches that have spread onto the streets of Belarus. Workers, miners, teachers, employees of the media and the Minsk underground as well as artists from the Belarusian State Philharmonic have all joined the protests. They stand against lies, demand the transparency of public life, and access to power. As they rally against repression and torture, they expose themselves to the same.

The artists featured on the Peramen! compilation also demand changes. While we cannot physically join the protesters on the streets of Belarus, we want to offer them at least this form of support. Our thoughts are with our friends – and with all the people who have been arrested, beaten, and humiliated. We join in the grief of families of all those murdered in the protests.

The compilation covers a broad selection of genres: from club music, through classical and experimental classical, to noise, ambient, and rock; from pieces that were composed to ones that were improvised or inspired by folk music. Its geographical scope is similarly broad, spanning Belarus, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, USA, Russia, and Hungary.
