Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Nummer 17 holt Kölns haargewordenen Traum auf den Plan: @Scrounger. Ein Mann, dessen fixes Mundwerk nur noch von seinem sonnigen Gemüt übertroffen wird. Immer locker um die Hüfte rum und mit Gespür für den richtigen Schwung, mag man meinen er hätte magische Kräfte.

Beim Baarte des Propheten!

(Ansage: Marian)

#017: Scrounger - Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise

Multi Culti are proud to present the debut EP from Sao Paolo's Voodoohop resident, Thomash.

DJ Thomash has set up one of the most influential nights in the bazooming Brazilian scene with his Voodoohop party, a fusion of tropical hedonism and avant-garde trance-inducing European electronic music, a lively mix that no doubt has its genesis in his transplanted German roots (he's from Cologne aka Kompakt-ville). He's shared the stage with guys like Rebolledo, Joakim, Acid Pauli and more, and now finally looks to colonize the world with his first release.

Interestingly, Thomash has a degree in artificial intelligence, so while it might just be our imagination, it does seem that the rhythms, full of oddly tuned percussion and colorful synth stabs seem imbued with a distinct internal logic, playful forms that bounce off each other in their own reality, according to their own laws. This narrative of the ethnoid, German-Brazilian AI ties in nicely with the title: Candomble is the name of an Afro-Brazilian religion, meaning literally 'dance in honour of the gods.' Fortunately for us, Thomash seems to be honouring some scarcely acknowledged, far-out deities... spritely DMT-elves. Ectoplasma further plays into this reading, both in title and in vibe, floating unconcerned with material dancefloor goals into a space of peaceful imagination and spirit. Finally, Calango Fumando Palha is a soft, dreamy morning peyote-fire anthem… a healing latin lullaby to soothe troubles and set positive vibes free.

Called in to take us deeper into the trip are Multi Culti's go-to sooth-sayers DREEMS, who lead us forwards in full-chakra-alignment with the originals, bringing bigger bass into the heart of the jungle, tripping on acid, leaving us loose-limbed, wide-eyed, and open-minded in bliss as the final chords tuck us in and kiss us goodnight. Sweet Dreems!

Valeriu Borcos and Eduard Gabia are Karpov not Kasparov, a musical game of
chess between synthesizers and drums. Beginning in Bucharest in 2009, the duo
soon incorporated an analogue visual artist and contemporary dancers into their
live performances, resulting in a theatrical show and a kind of real-time soundtrack to
the action around them. The duo’s unique dynamic creates a psychedelic synthdriven
sound, combining oriental melodies with the drive of a full live drum kit.
“Soundtrack for a game of Chess” is their debut LP, comprising a selection of the
best tracks from their previous two EPs, which never appeared on vinyl.
“Mechanical Turk”, named after a faux chess-playing machine constructed in the
late 18th century, displays the darker side to the band’s undulating sound, as the
vintage synth creates a spacey Eastern overlay to the driving bass and drums.
There are moments of downbeat jazz-infused introspection, such as the track
“Kaissa”, named after the goddess of chess, as well as the ever-onward kraut
drums of “Choose you colour gipsy dark” overlaid with the rise and fall of a pulsating
synth. Yet the record is not simply a dark synth composition, at times K not K sway
towards a more playful, experimental pop sound reminiscent of early electronic
pioneers such as Harmonia or Vangelis, while still managing to retain a modern,
otherworldly feel.
Having garnered great acclaim within their native Romania, their debut EPs also
received high praise internationally from sources such as WFMU. While last year,
Mehmet Aslan’s re-work of “Mechanical Turk” released on Huntleys + Palmers
made waves across the dance floors of the world. They’re now set to release their
debut LP on Polychrome Sounds this Summer and will be touring Europe from 
Spring onwards.

Timujin | Leveldva | Live 20.10, Part II

After his Kinfolk released collab with Otologic's Nick Murrary, Kris Baha makes a welcome return to his Power Station creation. A versatile five track EP that will get you through the night, one pictures Yello's virgin ketamine experiments on 'Mind Your Head' before 'Jeff' comes to the party with his mad professor dub, giving you whiplash with its belting beats and crashing guitar stabs. Originally designed as an hour long opening score for the namesake Melbourne club night, 'Around You Go' is an edited warm up tool, the crossroad between Düsseldorf and Elettronica Meccanica. If issued in 1983, '2 Nights in Armenia' would have lived on as a Cosmic classic while 'ArpB' is the listeners' exit music, a fork hanging from the power socket.

Distribution by Juno....out January 2016

DBFC, signed to Different Recordings late last year are set to release their second single for the label when they unveil ‘Autonomic’ on April 29th.

Fronted by Mancunian David Shaw and Parisian Dombrance, this Anglo-French outfit comes together as a four-way collective, not a band  as such but more a club.  Featuring  alongside the duo come  percussionist Guillaume Rossel and bassist Victor Paillet, the DBFC vision is entrenched within the French electronic music scene but, as witnessed on their debut for Different Recordings, ‘Get It All’, they succeeded in creating a sound that encompasses their multi-facetted talents.

We premiere ‘Autonomic’ today and heralds its arrival inhabiting a more dance-orientated world and whilst eschewing elements of their previous single..

Carisma - Parallax Rock

Steve Cass & Justin Wilson met at high school in the late 80's and began listening to each other's music collections  whilst bunking school. Their taste spanned everything from Simple Minds to The Egyptian Lover but they really started getting serious about their music after hearing cassette tapes that were going around their local town and in particular a DJ from Windsor called Richard Bell who happened to be living with some older friends who had travelled South really caught their attention.

They started collecting the records they were hearing on the mix tapes and clubs and over the years spent a fortune mail ordering records from London's Flying, Fat Cat & Tag records, Frankfurt's Delirium and Glasgow's Bomba records and are still in touch today with some of the guys who worked or owned these shops.

As the record collections grew they wanted to share the sounds with friends so fast forward to May 1995 when they opened the doors to the first ever NSA night in the basement of a local football club.

The night was a huge success and quickly evolved into a fortnightly party which was when the journey began.  In between the NSA parties they frequented Edinburgh's Pure at the venue where NSA went on to relocate and SLAM that happened on a Friday at the Arches in Glasgow hosted by Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle who go by the same name and have played with the guys on a good few occasions.
The foundations of all these nights depended on the residents who knew how to set the scene and NSA offered the same opportunity for Steve & Justin to hone their skills in the art of the warmup as well as playing longer sets as they rotated between resident only parties and the guest DJs they would ask along to the club.

Track selection was the key thing for them and is still very evident in their sets to this day as they opt out of playing the latest big records and try to select music that will stand the test of time or has a bit more depth to it.  This is a far cry from a lot of clubs you go to these days with the music being banged out as soon as the doors open with little thought going into it. 
The same ethos is applied to the careful selection of the guests they would ask to play and the night must also have had an impact on them as leading names on the circuit return time and time again as well as contribute to their recent soundcloud series that was launched last year. www.soundcloud.com/nsaofficial
Andrew Weatherall is one DJ who has been regularly playing at NSA for over 15 years now after guesting at their 5th birthday party back in 2000. He described it as "a proper acid house party" after his recent appearance with Sean Johnston. SLAM are another example of world class DJs who return to play with Steve & Justin in the small basement which is worlds apart from the huge events they play week in week out.

These decisions are rewarded as the NSA parties always fill up and get going early rather than people just turning up for the main guest. It has also resulted in a loyal crowd that spans a couple of generations and is still supported by people who came along to the early parties as well as new people discovering it all the time. The people make  NSA and it has one of the friendliest crowds who really know there music and has been the birth place to a lot of great friendships.

Ensemble Entendu is the collaborative project of Astro Nautico co-founder and co-owner Sam O.B. (f.k.a. Obey City) and label artist Photay. 

Since July 2014, inspired by back-to-back deejay sets at Astro Nautico parties and around New York, O.B. and Photay have been linking their individual production styles between Brooklyn studios in order to create a form dance music that centralizes the timeless power of the drum. 

With a track entitled ‘Cause ‘N’ Effect,’ the oldest (c. 2014) collected on the Ensemble’s debut release Selected Rhythm Works, Vol. 1, the duo raises the question: who in this collaboration is causing what effect on whom? There are rhythmic and melodic idiosyncrasies of both artists present on each track. Footprints stepping in footprints. And beyond or behind the artists are the sound signatures of house music, new jack, African polyrhythm, dub reggae, ‘80s prog (roto toms!), P-funk, dancehall, and much more. This flurry of styles stitches a Trans-Atlantic tapestry of drumming across generations and seas, with a center nowhere but the dance floor. 

Ensemble Entendu’s debut is sampling notions of library music and rhythm tracks. The duo’s name refers to deju entendu, the psychic phenomenon that occurs when you hear something you think you’ve heard before, even though the sound may be being heard for the first time. Selected Rhythm Works, Vol. 1 (a nominal reference to Aphex Twin) loosens the threads of connection between then and now and tomorrow, allowing listeners to weave their own journeys in historical time through body movement.

We're delighted to give an exclusive to this beauty of a track from super talented Kiki Toao & Rombout.  If you haven't had the fortune to hear of them before, for sure you will be looking out for them in future...

The @ShamaniacMovement presents Sham-Dee, a piece of music medicine, derived from the strange process of becoming a shaman and combining it with ceremonial music magick.

Sham-Dee is the story of a shaman's journey, the magical flight of exploration of the Soul's Realm, traveling across the oceans of Life and Death, while blissfully tripping on the cosmic embrace of shamanic initiation and experiencing the healing power of Spirit. A vision transformed into music, part of the soundtrack of the life of Kiki Toao and Rombout, since Kiki's calling to the spiritual path.

The Shamaniac Movement is, apart from KT&R's personal art and music project, a platform for a small but tight-knit community in The Netherlands, slowly spreading around the globe, aiming for spiritual development through creative experimentation.
