The Athenian producer Aggelos Baltas alias Anatolian Weapons captures on the album Earth the feeling of an optimistic future that grows on the soil of the sweet bitterness of the present and the past.

Under his pseudonym Anatolian Weapons, Baltas combines polyrhythmic percussion and wailing tones of Greek folk music with a thrilling and open Krautrock attitude. The album Earth takes us on a mystical journey through the northern Greek highlands, backed by Baltas' unique machine-assisted folk, infused with psychedelic drones and exuding an aura that is neither then nor now, neither there nor here. Instead, it exists in a small pocket of its own cosmos. A crossroads of dimensions. A mystical offering to nature and the divinities.

Baltas has explored and reframed various Greek scenes of yesteryear in the past, such as with his Fantastikoi Hxoi project, which created Krautrock mutations from 60s and 70s pop, but Earth is an even more far-reaching expedition. It is a folk reckoning with Greek musical traditions with a modern upgrade. The album reconstructs a sonic narrative of ancient traditions, enhanced with psychedelic and space-rock elements. In the reverb cycle, one hears a certain agrarian reinterpretation of the world, filled with harvest rituals and celestial incantations.

It is with great pleasure to welcome Anatolian Weapons to the label. During a longer stay in Athens, a friendship developed that led to a variety of musical projects and ideas. One of them is the release of the album Earth.

Aggelos Baltas has been producing music for more than 20 years. His projects such as Anatolian Weapons, Dream Weapons, and Fantastikoi Hxoi are praised locally and internationally for his bold blend of different styles and influences, covering a wide spectrum of psychedelic dance music. He is a resident DJ at Astron Bar and Bios in his hometown. He also regularly plays in European clubs and makes acclaimed mixes for platforms such as Digital Tsunami, Knekelhuis, Les Yeux Orange and Sameheads. He releases on renowned labels such as Beats In Space, Emotional Response, Dark Entries, Invisible Inc., Lurid Music and Kame House, to name a few.

Anatolian Weapons - Earth

Are you dying to experience again the thrill of being seduced by a love spell? Lured and dazed, compelled to dance and play. With no way out, but to serve the painful sentence. 

If that's the case, give yourself to the next Sounds Of Ogigia compilation and Salamanda's contribution.
The up-and-coming Korean duo - resident on LYL Radio, released on Good Morning Tapes or Tonal Unity (and soon to be featured on Bamboo Shows!?) - pours liquid trance and tribal delirium in our ears, as a musical representation of the myth of Odysseus and Calypso.

To be found along with MR. TC, Koyil, Canaan Balsam, Opake, Warzou, HLM38, Yssue, Misha Sultan, Emme Ya, Audan Karret, Jebel Musa and Juan in cassette format on nov. 21:

And they always win. Now bet your Money on this record.

CNDMBLE 008: Das Wettbüro - Gewinnt Immer

@memotone
@patienceimpatience

Bristol multi-instrumentalist, producer and nature freak Will Yates offers a new record from his Memotone alias, an expansive, hypothetical revue titled How Was Your Life?

Launching from terrains recognizable to fans of Will’s extensive, restless discography, How Was Your Life? packs up his penchant for baroque druid folk, homespun electronics and weightless woodwinds and explodes them into glistening, fractal star dust.

Instigated by the purchase of an antiquated Y2K era guitar synthesizer, the record was produced over the first half of 2022, in a large part the result of in-studio improvisation. Where Will’s previous releases under various guises have often been conceived by conceptual frameworks, HWYL? was carved by equipment that offered both possibilities and parameters that Will relished and explored to the nth degree. The Roland GR33 not only provided sublime guitar sounds but also empowered the guitar to convincingly mimic fretless bass, tabla and a vast percussive array, also summoning an artillery of uniquely outre atmospheres over the course of the record. The resulting concoction sounds familiar yet subtly, unshakeably otherworldly, shaping up as perhaps the most honed, energized and beatific Memotone album to date.

Paradise Drips gently lifts off with wobbly guitar, randomized sequences and unidentifiable percussive elements situating us somewhere in an unearthly realm, before Open World zaps the serotonin receptors and gushes with ecstatic warmth, it’s quietly insistent soft disco shuffle and levitational fretless driving towards a totally blissed and very soft “drop”. Forest Zone sees Memotone deep in the green, with a loose, propulsive groove and dancing flutes stumbling into a medieval ritual in the clearing halfway through, and Glow In The Dark deftly bounces between spacey ambience and an undulating no wave vamp. Carved By The Moon is a delightfully melted classical cut, while Canteen Sandwich offers the record’s most explicitly nod to modernity in the form of a nimble drum workout with samurai synths and melodic percussion that heaves towards a genuine peak. Lonehead immediately backs right off, viscerally melancholic clarinet and bubbling fx making for the records most hefty introspective moment, before Walking Backwards simmers all the way down on an wistful arpeggio, rooting back in earthly reality with charmed rhythms and jazzy tunings. Catharsis complete, Memotone is onto the next incarnation.

Will Yates has been making music as Memotone since 2010, releasing music on labels like Black Acre, Disktopia and Accidental Meetings, also releasing music as O.G. Jigg and Half Nelson. He’s worked as a producer, session musician and live performer on a broad spectrum of projects, and recently provided source sounds that made up Batu’s “Opal” on Timedance.

HOW WAS YOUR LIFE?

PREMIERE | MEMOTONE - GLOW IN THE DARK [PATIENCE / IMPATIENCE]

The White Series continues after a little pit stop. Tankwart is at the start with four tracks of wave, triphop and kraut and leads us into a cosmic slipstream. As one half of Dâdalus & Bikarus he is already known to us and now shows a more danceable side of his productions. Tankwart is known around here for his versatile DJ sets, which always surprise us with a pinch of the unexpected. We also find this in his music - Tankwart gives the supposedly familiar a new and sparkling twist.

Tankwart hails from the basement. The place where it can get beautifully cold and dark when being on your own, or warm and sweaty when dancing with friends. The place where social media lose reach and the reverb sounds so nice. You‘ll find him in his studio: a big mess that fosters his DIY production style. His musical interest starts when genres blend and punk is an approach. Wave, Triphop, Acid, Kosmische Musik. No cliches, blurred lines only.

Mutant Dub

Niklas Wandt and Niklas Rehme-Schlüter (Cass.) are two multi-instrumentalists and genuine musical minds that work on the fringes of ambient, kraut, jazz and experimental electronics. Both were active in numerous projects as well as solo artists, before joining forces for this special recording to be released on candomblé. „Esculturas Rupestres“, Spanish for „Rock Sculptures“, delivers an enchanting collage of spoken word, ancient drumming, synth ambi(val)ence and free improvisation. N. Wand serves you dada poetry and stoned drum grooves while N. R-Schlüter provides for the synthesized atmosphere present throughout this recording.
