Abstract

Varda Sundown - Floating Island (free DL)

Arve Henriksen - Saraswati

South East London- based five-piece band Haraket (‘movement’ in Turkish) return with a new 4-track DL EP ‘İlk’ on 25th November 2013 and 12” Vinyl on 25th January 2014.

Haraket’s first release ‘Taint/Attgo’ on Melodica Recordings attracted attention from points as diverse as Zane Lowe (BBC Radio 1), Stuart Maconie, Gideon Coe, Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music), John Kennedy (XFM), DJ Magazine, The Line of Best Fit and Stamp The Wax.
‘İlk’ (first in Turkish) flows seamlessly from the early promise of 'Taint/Attgo', preserving wall-of-sound dynamics combining disparate elements of electronics, post-rock influenced guitars (Ojan), live / programmed beats (Ed Bernez), impassioned vocal lines (Abigail Hardiman), pounding bass, atmospheric keyboards (Jack Marshall) and cool jazz influenced trumpet (Wilfred Taylor).

Solid Steel (26th September) Berlin duo Kim Brown are the guests in Hour 1, having released music on Freerange, Permanent Vacation, Just Another Beat and a recent 12" on Needwant Recordings. As they say "We did something a bit different, not quite the regular club mix. Well suited for rainy autumn days." It's a mellow start with music from Porn Sword Tobacco and Hauscka on City Slang, but soon hits a groove with tracks from Kiasmos,  Grandbrothers and Jouem, before closing with The Notwist.

first he didn't know what the moon tonight was after
then he walked the shore
where the light of waters could touch his barefoot
full moon illusion makes him feel the blue lagoon
he recognized before
that the tides around ment to rise and to fall
arve he was called
caught the waves with moonlight and the scent of lagoon
his full moon vision makes him come running back to the sea
he could keep it cold like a stone
for he's cried his eyes out earlier
he was the one to come after the beautiful pale white owl
he took the owls life away with his own two hands
arve he was cold like a stone
he took the owls life away with his own two hands
arve he was cold like the snow
for he's born to the days full of ice and snow
