I composed "Tour De Pyrénées” after a trip through them in 2012. The tour lasted five days and nights and I saw some unbelievable, beautiful ‘lost places’. The music represents the ups and downs of driving the car through the mountain pass, the voices of the people, and the landscape.

Robert Farrugia - Coastal

Wandering through the winds and sandstorms compilation, reminiscent of a ball of camel thorn, walking through the desert, in which the compositions if wound on each other, merged into one long story. Each of them is individual, but gathered together, they all represent something whole, something that will never be separated. Every such release is a perpetuation of music in time. The compilation has a deep dub ambient tech sound and pleasantly immersed in the idyllic life with himself. Enjoy listening!

For today’s exclusive track premiere, we are honoured to share with you James Murray‘s slow-burner, titled “In Your Head” which is literally a half of his brand new album, titled "Embrace Storms" [the other half, being another long-player, “In Your Heart”], released as a multi-format split between his very own Slowcraft and KrysaliSound labels. The two pieces sonically capture the weather patterns which are rising and subsiding, rising and subsiding, all on their own, in the caverns of your mind, body and soul, where, instead of fighting, or even worse, identifying with this uncontrollable climate, you can notice, use soft focus, and then let it pass. Let it all pass… The music serves as a perfect meditative accompaniment to your daily routine, in order drown out all of that hum, and accept things as they are…

"James Murray’s new solo work takes the form of two carefully constructed long-form sound collages; twin formations gradually unfolding in continuous, ever-evolving streams of delicately controlled chaos."

The release is out in just a few days, on November 9th, 2019, and is available as a CD from Slowcraft and a beautifully pressed limited edition vinyl from Milan-based KrysaliSound imprint. Highly recommended for the seekers of their inner peace…

TRACK PREMIERE : James Murray - In Your Head

Winter IIVIIXXIVXVXVI

R. Schwarz - VI Wasserflut

Ricardo Donoso's latest release for Denovali is a dark, noisy, and aggressive piece, and whereas sometimes I would find this type of music to be a little more intrusive, I think that at this moment it is timely and on point. I'm starting to get a little vexed with our situation. And it's not because of isolation or the mindless flat routine. I'm getting irked with all the streaming from all platforms, with staring into someone's room for days on end, with adverts promising to help connect me to people, and with the output as inspired by this mess. And so, Donoso's music is a salvage, with scratching sounds, foreboding noisescapes, and post-techno beats. The seeping doom, the menacing expansion, and the organic clamour all fit on the page of his atonal work. And if you listen to this track premiere and follow through a quote behind the concept of his latest album, you'll understand the cure for the ongoing toil.

Terry Waite was taken hostage in Beirut in the late 1980s, before ISIS, before smartphones, before the Internet as we know it. He endured a mock execution during the first year of his five-year captivity, which was spent mostly in solitary confinement. Years later, during a Q&A session, he was asked to identify the main thing he had learned from his ordeal. The answer, came as a shock—it was not the excruciatingly hard-won appreciation for life and loved ones that one expects to hear. “Contemporary humanity,” declared Waite, “has lost the ability to engage in productive solitude.”

Ricardo Donoso's 9th studio album is titled "Content". It will be out on Denovali on May 29, 2020.

TRACK PREMIERE : Ricardo Donoso - Crossed Destinies

Take a seat for the third Insights mix, aimed at bringing the artist profile to the fore, diving into the sounds that both influence and comprise their own.

In a time of lean-back playlist listening, it's important to give due attention and credit to the composers, musicians and producers that make up our vast musical world. This series hopes to not only showcase music favoured by the artist, but also help connect the dots between their sound and that of the musical network that surrounds them.

No better can you hear the depth of Still Harbours' emotive influence in these pieces. We start with the calm and hypnotic selections from Brad (anthéne), before sliding into Jones' (Fossil Hunting Collective) more inquisitive and emotive picks. If there were any way to get to know the duo's inner workings, it'd be this.

Spacelunch (short. spclnch) is a Dutch electronic music label with an emphasis on the dub sound founded in Minsk in 2019 by Thomas Carmody (@thomascarmody). The key ethical principles are an individual approach and a careful selection which allows you to get the best possible from the communication with artists.

The concept of releases is dedicated to a fantastic multimedia universe. The space adventures of Spacelunch and Cat unfold in episodes of an interactive musical comic. Each of them has an original script, and they are connected by a consistent storyline.
