Last couple of years, I have been living in a house with windows overlooking a hospital. There is a streetlight hanging between the two buildings. I often look at its soft orange light in the evening. People from the hospital windows do the same.

Пилюка вкриває минуле життя

Місячне сяйво в двобої з ліхтарним
За те щоб залити собою предпокій
Це світло єдине, що було тут нині
А завтра напевно не буде нічого

Погасне світло і стихнуть птахи
Під вікнами невиліковно хворих
Заграють труби, більше не побачим я і ти
Веселкових барв і роси

Капіляри очей не витримують зовсім
Крові зухвалої тиску
Всі мої «треба» вмістилися в миску
Увага прикута до явища зовні

Там місячне сяйво в двобої з ліхтарним
За те щоб залити собою предпокій
Це світло єдине, що було тут нині
А завтра напевно вже буде тут спокій

Погасне світло і стихнуть птахи
Під вікнами невиліковно хворих
Заграють труби, більше не побачим я і ти
Веселкових барв і роси

Музика труб під вікнами невиліковно хворих

@ccl-url's debut solo record, Plot Twist EP, remains true to everything you’ve read or heard about their artistic approach, balancing production which immerses, intrigues and surprises. A record which connects fantastical, fanatical and referential sonorous elements creating moments of emotional outpouring when we’re all alone together, on the dancefloor.

The second release on GRACE comes courtesy of @keplrr. Following Katiusha’s EP in spring, ‘False Awakening’ extends the label’s vision for mind-blurring techno flavours. 

The UK artist showcased his ear for unusual ceremonial techno on his recent ‘Plumes’ record for Midgar. On GRACE002, Keplrr goes deeper into that style. What’s now becoming his signature psychedelic elegance unfurls over two 8-minute journeys, run through with hallucinatory ebbs and flows. 

‘False Awakening’ releases digitally on Friday 8th November 2024.

Samurai Music presents it's 100th Vinyl Release with Hyaku

The medium is the message! Vinyl has always been our preferred medium for releasing music and without this tactile form of presentation, Samurai Music would not continue in its current form. Vinyl is the ultimate personification of what the label wishes to represent. Music always comes first, but the vinyl artefact is king for us.

Hyaku is the 100th Vinyl release on the Samurai Music label. Through the many twists and turns of the industry in our almost 17 years of existence, the Samurai Music vinyl releases have maintained their aspiration for quality, unique design that stands the test of time. Praise and thanks always to our long time designer Ryan Quinlivan and the many pressing plants we have worked with over the course of our labels lifespan.

To celebrate this milestone we have assembled a gang of producers that best represent the Samurai Music sound of now to contribute tracks that they feel best encapsulates their take on our sound.

2. Eusebeia - Psychoid
3. Presha - Ratcatcher

For his sixth 96 Back LP, Evan Majumdar-Swift found himself writing “a long form eulogy” to his years living in Manchester while preparing for an imminent move to London. Initially intended as a series of technical exercises, which saw the artist radically stripping back his established production setup, over the last two years tender, exit gradually took on the form of an emotional landscape, mapped in transit between two cities. “The overarching concept of the record is cycles, recognising them, loving them, and tearing yourself away from them,” he says. Heard together, the project takes on the pace and cadence of a passionate conversation with a loved one.

Back with the second instalment of the 5th Birthday series – INTL.PDCOMP003 features both returning artists and some new faces at the dome, with a huge rage of sounds from across the globe. 

Christian Coiffure and Elsa get things going, both returning to the label and submerging us with their downtempo explorations before we welcome Heling and Knopha – both integral heads in the Chinese club and radio scene with some beautiful, headsy additions to the catalogue. Continuing to explore the chug zone, ophélie joins the PD fam with a moody, introspective take before we get hit with the more up front contributions from pq and newcomer EYRA. 

Picking up the pace, Design Default’s “Million Knives” is certified to bring a dance floor moment while Sha Ru, Odd Shy Guy and Tano all provide their excursions into bass in that 140-150bpm space a with deep half time cut from our fave NY duo, a heavy bass bin rattler direct from Italy and signature playful, percussive piece from Tano. Fels completes the line up with a cinematic return to 100bpm.

After starting with a focus of pushing local artists 5 years ago, we feel so blessed we’ve been able to make connections with so many incredible artists from all corners of the planet as we’ve grown over the years. 

Here’s to the extended fam <3

"Hmara" is a single featuring multi-instrumentalist Maria Hildenbrandt on vocals and cello. During evening jams in the open air, they contemplated the formation of a large cloud and decided to give it sound through their instruments. This is how this song was born, which expands Tongi Joi's musical range in the direction of emotional and at the same time fragile dream-pop.

Along with this track, the b-side "Kvit" is also released - instrumental folk that arose spontaneously while making music in a blossoming autumn garden outside the city. The composition combines cello, pimak flute and a small classical guitar called "Texas Bird".

Snow Angels is my Christmas-themed vaporwave tribute to Japanese holiday music and the tangy nostalgic feeling of celebration. While some of the tracks (1 and 3) were repurposed for this tape from my previous collaborative release, Mistletoe Tape II, there are also a couple of new ones.

Dedicated to Ryuichi Sakamoto and all the people who supported me this year. Thank you!

I hope you enjoy and, as usual,

MERRY CHRISTMAS (and a Happy New Year)

Slowly Dozing Off WIth Music On

"We've done this mix on the road. It's pretty much what we're listening to on the tour bus between the shows. The special thing about it is that we've all contributed to it. Three pretty different angles on electronic music". Moderat, May 2016.

Moderat – Essential Mix 2016-05-07

Courtesy is one of techno’s newest breakthrough stars. The Greenland born, Danish raised DJ, Ectotherm label boss and journalist first turned heads with some key online mixes in 2016 which showed she will reach for whatever works be that rave, electro or breaks. Since then she’s further established herself with her own regular NTS show and sets at key places like De School and Berghain, and in three weeks time she will play our festival in Sao Paolo.

To get in you on the mood for that she’s first turned out a new mix which, as usual from Courtesy, is characterised by fascinating contrasts. It’s high in energy from the off, and races through a number of styles of house and techno that ranges from twisted to dubbed out to ghetto. Getting ever-quicker as it goes, there’s a subtle sense that you’re building towards something throughout the set. It makes it an absorbing, high octane ride that never settles in once place but at the same time feels like one complete story.

Nicolas Lutz comes to us from Uruguay via Berlin and we believe he's on the move somewhere new as we speak, where to we don't quite know but that pretty much sums Nicolas up. He's an enigma, outside of the mainstream, nonconformist. This sentiment also perfectly sums up his DJing, always outsider, never predictable.  

Lutz's sets are immaculately programmed and include music that he has lovingly sought out, music will inevitably become hunted by an increasing numbers of his dedicated, record digging fans. Nicolas first played for us at our off Sonar event in Barcelona in 2017 and his attention to detail and ear for strange, memorable sounds stood out that day. Here he delivers a very rare recorded mix that takes in ambient sounds along with house, breaks, electro and techno but it's not the genres, it's  the underlying texture and detail on display that is the defining feature of episode 114. So ahead of his appearance at Fort Punta Christo for Dimensions 2018, sit back and lose yourself in two hours of Nicolas Lutz...
