ISLA 26
Pillow Queen, the production duo of D. Tiffany and Vani-T, continue their sonic, sensuous charting of the dancefloor in their new 3-track release Calling Me, a collaboration with the vocalist, writer and sex worker Ruin. Sexual drive has always been in the alchemy of Pillow Queen’s music, but at the fore is a wider, more encompassing erotics – one of the spirit and uninhibited body. Such is the force Ruin and the girls incant on this record...

ZDBT and NAP are back with a digital-only 3-song EP. Made over a week in March of 2022, while the pair met to play a show in Vancouver, the record is a testament to the short but productive visits they have relied on the past few years in order to make music. A limited run of custom T-shirts accompanies the release.

ISLA 31.5 - DOSIS - La Visita EP

New alias from the twisted and beautiful mind of Pablo Arrangoiz. Thirteen tracks of life-affirming music. Brazen plunder-phonics, a touch of Tietchens’ clownin’ and the more serrated sides of an H.N.A.S boogie all come together to weed out the weak and reward the patient. 

Disembodied voices and impossible rhythms appear from clay across the infinite grey sunset, making way through paths of sewered click and cut grooves, micro-timed robo cumbia, and pocket jazz from the 9th circle of hell. 

A listening experience that leaves one pleasantly confused, inspired and shook. A masterpiece in our ears, love at first listen and the reason why we do this. Let it rip and dare not skip a song. Digital + Edition of 100 CDs. 

Mastered by Josh Stevenson.

ISLA33 - “Somaesthesia” is for the body, for how the body feels and how the body communicates with its soul. It was written through a year of growth and sickness, which stimmed inflection to a body at rest, a body aroused, a body communicating needs, a body happy, a homeostatic body, a friend body.

And yeah, you can have all in common with someone when it comes
to digging wubs, riddims and drum machines but add vulnerable earnest meetings with meals in between and good conversation about things other than music (or maybe how other things relate to it) and then
you get something really special, something like SINNAZ. SIM and NAP journeying into collaboration with a debut EP of rhythmic noise, driving bog beats, swampy dembows, radioactive Dancehall and unhinged
experimentalia.

Total Annihilation Beach is the latest collection from Caveman LSD, one of the handful of monikers of Special Guest DJ / uon / sometimes just shy. Their releases under this name have always had the character of sonic transmissions – crushed sine-waves hurtling out of a wormhole, remote pirate radio bandwidths, whale-song picked up on radar, and so on. Here, the signal seems to come from a place whose remoteness is not defined by distance, but adjacency: these are alternate reality bops.

Seven suites of deep and sprawling sonic meditations built around ‘call and response’ improv sessions between Randy Raine-Reusch and Michael Red.

Initially realized over the course of a few days in Randy’s instrument museum in Vancouver BC [December, 2014] 'ERAS' is made up of processed, and sometimes multi tracked, improvisations between Randy and Michael. Through these sessions Randy would choose instruments he sensed possibilities within, and Michael then revealed and sculpted these possibilities. Both resonating, sensing sonic structures, environmental nuances, and further worlds in each other’s art, all within the moment. Being present for each other, they acted on instinct, trusting a first thought, trusting each other; committing, responding to that commitment, then mutating and letting go. Always moving forward, synthesizing and letting the living moment lead the way.

New EP from Mexico’s David Sanchez AKA Turning Torso. The prolific audio-visual artist and key member of the Mexico City underground delivers four cuts of guitar and drum forward compositions in a jazz fusion style that intertwine through shoegaze, downtempo and IDM references.

ISLA37 - El Latido Del Infinito - Primordial Ohm
https://isla.bandcamp.com/album/el-llamado-del-infinito

That which beats and resonates within you. From the Pleroma to the material world, you can experience a vibration similar to that of a heartbeat. A steady rhythm that resonates in the honey of our memory. And who can taste it?

This record draws inspiration from ancient cultures that sought to liberate the spirit from its material concerns; Gnostic-Tolteca ideas reflected in the vibrations, lyrics, numerology, and hermetic content of this EP. The aim is for these frequencies, transformed into cosmic music—illbient, jungle, amapiano, Mxfunky, dancehall, and bass—to resonate with that infinite heartbeat.

Truth, naked and bold, often blurred by the falsehoods of reality. We awaken in our dreaming, inventing, and imagining, only to forget soon afterward. Blissfully.

As above, so below; as outside, so within—we come here not for much else but to remember, then to forget.

‘El Latino del Infinito’ is a  six song long player from Mexico’s Eduardo Legazpi aka Primordial Ohm. Ft. Old Astronauts on tracks 1 & 2. Out July 25th.

Composed and mixed by Eduardo Legazpi 
Mastered by Phil Barrera

Crespi Drum Syndicate is a collaboration between long-time friends and musical cohorts, Pablo Arrangoiz (El Gusano/Goiz) and Jonathan Trujillo (Jonny From Space). "Beats" developed from a desire to make music centered around rhythm and percussion, atonal sounds, inharmonic hooks, and a mutual agreement to refrain from melody and harmony as much as possible. The record is the result of their first sessions with this concept in mind. Inspired by the proto-techno of '60s and '70s Italian library music, motorik kraut grooves, Latin dance music, orchestral percussion pieces, dancehall riddims, and dub engineering.

Written, recorded, and mixed in Coral Gables, Florida, August to September 2022. 

Out September 6th, 2024. Edition of 100 CD-R's.

ISLA 22 - 'Outside Of Time' is a collaboration between Interactive Test's Riccardo Falsini and Vancouverite AVR, under Falsini's long-standing 'I Believe' moniker.

Pre-order available through Juno:
https://www.juno.co.uk/products/i-believe-outside-time-ep/743066-01/

In the early nineties, directly influenced by the Summer of Love of 1988, Florentine Riccardo Falsini began his project I Believe–a miscellaneous collection of records, compilations, and collaborations–released through his label Interactive Test (co-run with brother Franco Falsini). 

These sounds would eventually reach Vancouver-based producer AVR (Avery La Rochelle) in the summer of 2018. Compelled by Riccardo’s legacy as a producer and a deejay, Avery reached out to the Italian producer. 

A friendship formed that would see them collaborate on various dance events in Vancouver, as well as their Outside Of Time EP, a reverie of hallucinatory trance music. Over the past year, the duo recorded these tracks with the free spirit of early rave culture in mind.

Outside Of Time is certified dance floor therapy that inspires the listener to believe in the power of love and music.

ISLA 23- ∀E presents two 12”s of rhythmic hypnosis from the eXquisite CORpsE related project, XqST (Robbert Heijnen and Debbie Jones).

Digital: https://isla.bandcamp.com/album/xqst
Record: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/exquisite-corpse-presents-xqst-ae/762139-01/

Most of the material on the record is selected from improvisations Robbert and Debbie recorded in their home studio in Vancouver, BC during 2003, except for “SDLY” which was recorded in the Netherlands in 1996. 

The material came about naturally, mixing previously collected loops and sounds with improvisations and manipulations on further electronic equipment.  During the time of these recordings, Robbert and Debbie would put their kids to bed and retreat to their home studio, where making noise together was a way to relax. 

These eight tracks are a coherent document of the free-flowing experimentation and musical symbiosis shared between Robbert and Debbie. Created for each other, now to be shared.

The enclosure of night promises freedom of another kind. Subterranean fantasies are consecrated in flesh. The voice calls and is answered by a beating pulse. They swell and break in rapturous cycles. On Sombras, Dosis (ZDBT & NAP) operates from this intimate space, conjuring electroid visions rooted in techno, zynth-pop and nuova-beat.
