Casting the net ever wider, Kalahari Oyster Cult have drawn in new music and a new artist for their latest release. Flora FM, a.k.a. Community Corporation a.k.a. T. Hawkins, has graced imprints such as Argot and Vanity and now debuts with Chaos Light. Trying to define the style of this sound weaver is a near impossible task, the gamut of electronics has been plundered to create this unique EP. From the aquatic hypnotics of “Hallucinogenic Worm” and the hyperactive energy of “Chrome Glass”, Flora FM borrows from acid house, rave anthems and techno with a magpie like curiosity as he melts textures and tones like a master. Broken beats and rich xylophonic melodies coalesce in the bubbling “Storm Cleaned” before the warm bath that is the Chicago hued “Insist on You.” Chaos Light keeps you guessing until the very end, the erratic and frenzied reductions of beat and bass combining to form “Inc Stop.” A youngster with the ear and ability of a seasoned veteran.

Kalahari Oyster Cult welcomes in buzzing talent Flora FM to deliver a stack of genre-defying material via the 'Chaos Light' EP, which fuses bits of acid house, breakbeat, rave anthems and techno to reveal creative sonic masterpieces. 

Here Mixmag debuts the whimsical and trippy arrangement of 'Hallucinogenic Worm' (Wave Mix), a whirling ballad that dives deep into the depths of aquatic hypnotics paired with piercing textures and a steady beat. This is just a taste of the unique productions Flora FM has in store. Tip! 

The  'Chaos Light' EP is set for release April 15.

5th offering to the shady Epicerie, by Rakya – crafted by a very good friend from a far away country. If we were to choose one term to sum up this song entirely, it would be - ever-transforming. The build-up is audacious and thoughtful, shifting from some sort of atmospheric post-rave energy to straighter acid phases. Forbidden to fast-forward, this is about construction.

L’Epicerie is Rakya’s new format for music-sharing: one exclusive track each month, coming straight from the hidden chests of our favourite artists and friends, available digitally on Bandcamp. Each track is made specially for the occasion, and will remain anonymous, ensuring l’Epicerie to be a store where the only one thing that matters is music.

One year since Rakya’s Liquor Store, one year since our core members Charonne were secretly crafting their comeback in Rakya’s catalogue with the Moonstruck Zine EP.

This release has many faces, crossing styles and tempo: a starry-eyed collection of sounds. And most importantly, it’s designed for both the mind and the club. 

Glamorama (A1) is a synth-lead stomper, dancefloor killer, as steady and powerful as this genre can get. It has founded its fine balance between a rather dark first impression and the overtaking feel-good energy of the organs. A reference to Bret Easton Ellis’ schizophrenic society: Glamorama. Which makes a perfect transition towards the glistening bomb of the EP, an uplifting house-music anthem where Charonne encourages you to MakeUrOwnMusic (A2) 

B-side, on the other hand, is more intimate. Experimentations in tempos and structures, exploring a dystopian future. The Little People is where Charonne manoeuvre a more ravy side, but always with a sense of melancholy – moving us to the EP’s conclusion, B2, an acidic and mysterious high-speed UFO.

Nathan Micay is pleased to present another new member to the Schvitz label family: Original Schvitz, a home for original tracks made purely for the rave. On the inaugural 12’’, Micay provides three of his most dancefloor-friendly cuts to date. A-side stormer ‘The Canadian Shield (Loon Song)’ is an epic trance journey that contextualizes the Canadian loon like never before. On the flip, Micay finally gives the heads the sought-after ID ‘Feed The Planetary Sharks’, a playful house groove that has worked dancefloors the world over. Finally, ‘I Like My Nudeln Fried’ successfully merges UK garage and trance to create a roller for the ages. As always, Schvitz gives back. This time all proceeds from record sales go to Give Something Back to Berlin, an inclusive Berlin space that offers free workshops, courses and events to teach people new skills in music and beyond. A Schvitz trifecta! Schvitz is Love. Schvitz is Life.

Nathan Micay - Original Schvitz 001

Have you ever experienced a sense of futility - we’ve all be through it at one point. Struggling for that new vital idea or solution to move forward?

We all have a tremendous reservoir of mental power waiting to be called forth. Its lies just beyond our surface thoughts, behind our thinking mind.

Inside the following material may lie the very answer you need to bring forth those thoughts and visions.

Both sides provide you with an experience like never before. Each side inspires and revitalizes. You’ll hear suggestions, affirmations, and a very real sense to “order your subconscious”. So listen again and again, share with friends and loved ones, as our inner strength grows, allowing the subconscious to WORK FOR YOU.

And remember, tru meditation is not idle thinking - or mere concentration which ties the mind to a fixed idea. It is a technique that opens channels to the full power of the mind and realization of self. Remember, you are IN FULL CONTROL.

PREMIERE: Unknown - Passing Days [Retrospect]

here’s another finding I wanna share with you here ! 
it's been a free download during first Italy's lockdown in last March but limited to the lucky 100 early birds... mostly because of my Soundcloud account limitations. 
this was a new track I was working on with X Woman by the end of 1995, and it had to be a follow up to ‘What U Want’. 
it never got finished so what you have here is mostly a rough demo which I never pretended to get released nor ever offered it to any label. 
hope you enjoy it my friends !

The unhurried rhythm of evolution.

Slow Life came into being in 2011 when an easygoing set of Spaniards & Italians crossed paths and coalesced in Berlin. The current collective consists of Laurine, Cecilio, S. Moreira, and Santi Uribe a.k.a. Indi Zone. The music they play, like the music they produce, is bound together by threads of luminosity and timelessness. 

Between innumerable hours in the studio, a knack for sourcing new talent, and thoughtful art direction, the label grew steadily and organically, and a signature Slow Life identity began to emerge. This led naturally to parties at their homebase in Hoppetosse and the globe-trotting showcases for which the group has become widely known. Ardent digging and long, mesmerizing DJ-sets are central to their craft; they fabricate a musical space for the audience to get lost in, the adventure going as far and deep as the collective imagination will allow. To put it simply: they know how to throw a party and make you feel right at home. 

Each release on the label invokes a timestamp of their intersections and environment, resulting in collaborations with Primary Perception, Basement Space, and Paolo Mosca, to name a few. Strains of jazz, breaks, and ambient music inflect Slow Life’s singular sound with a charismatic balance of discerning taste and approachability.

Slow Life is about taking time and the unhurried rhythm of evolution. Music as a celebration of music. No rush, no pretense, no limitations — only deep work, positive expression, and playful experimentation.
