PREMIERE: Barbara+Marco — Life On Other Planets [Secret Lovers Records]

The rumbles, swallowed by pitch darkness, resembled a palisade of death rather than a place suitable for the council of elders. Giant thorns gripped the ground with their roots, intertwining as a twisted maze. The creaky funicular barely illuminated the ominous ravine while bringing Cat and Spacelunch down.

— I wonder if they’re even expecting us.
— It's been a while since I traveled on a rattletrap like this. I think just making it to the end of the route in one piece will be an achievement.
— Creepy sight…
— Don’t lose your nerve, we’ll be there soon. Why’s your tail tucked?

The cable car stopped before the gate leading to the secret gathering. The wasteland covered in fallen timber served as a reliable disguise for the Castafarian Keepers. The professor knocked in a code, and soon a robed figure emerged silently beckoning them into the tunnel. At its end, a dimly lit chamber with the monks sitting in a circle appeared. A few moments later, a voice addressed the leader:

— I kneel before your resilience, O Wisest! We have come up to you with an important matter and wish to ask about…
— My respect goes to you, brave wanderers. I know whom you seek.

A figure in a cloak emerged from the shadows and came forward unhurriedly before revealing his face.

— Nomad, you’re alive! What the hell is going on?
— I understand your frustration. Under the Queen’s orders, it was necessary to hide your friend. He must remain here for a while.
— On behalf of the entire scientific community, I thank you for saving his life. Please accept this as a token of gratitude, O Wisest.

The aerospace corporation had always preferred serving revenge cold — as it should be. Blackmail was particularly sweet. After all, it’s easy to break anyone when their loved ones are held hostage. But despite the glaringly obvious strategy, one pressing question remained: Who’s next?

Changing the World

The latest release from Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint welcomes Balad back to the label for a new EP entitled ‘A Distant Memory’. The Australian artist first appeared on the Belgian imprint in 2019 with ‘The Days’, an EP produced alongside frequent studio partner Bigasti. The Sydney residents deep sound has continued to flourish as he carefully adds to a resume that includes releases on Balance Music, BeatFreak Recordings, Where The Heart Is and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden. Now making a welcome return to Sound Avenue, Balad presents his first solo EP for the label alongside a remix from Zone+. 

Beginning with the title selection Balad explores a gorgeous blend of organic drums and charming musicality. Warm beats and layers of exotic percussion set the foundation for a narrative of wistful themes and nature motifs. Plush tones then drift over the framework for impassioned moments, before melting to a charming centrepiece and heartfelt finale.

The second selection ‘A Half Remembered Dream’ continues the ethos of the EP while adding a slightly more reflective quality. Smooth, elegant and a touch romantic, it’s a captivating eight-minute journey. Muted tones and impassioned wails marry elegant motifs and thoughtful atmospherics, while exotic percussion and fluttery concepts provide the perfect prelude to a gorgeous final act.

The third and final original ‘A Place Forgotten’ once again finds Balad operating at a creative peak. From smooth, percussive beginnings comes buoyant yet elegant rhythms. Blissful atmospheres and redolent shades slowly descend over dulcet beats and organic drums. As the narrative evolves so too does its emotive appeal, with sentimental motifs and soulful refrains trailing over the framework, before a muted piano highlights a glowing break and dreamy final act. 

The release concludes with Zone+ returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of ‘A Half Remembered Dream’. The Bahrain born, Dubai based artist has firmly established himself with releases on All Day I Dream, Akbal Music, Underyourskin and Sol Selectas. Having first appeared on Sound Avenue in 2017 with a collaborative EP alongside Bachir Salloum, Zone+ now makes a welcome return to the label with a gorgeous rendition of ‘A Half Remembered Dream’. Taking a cue from the original while adding a funkier state of mind, the Dubai resident crafts a lovely complement to the original. Subterranean beats and perfectly contoured bass stabs create a massive sense of space, while lively percussion adds further bounce to the narrative. Timely fills create dynamic moments across the first act, while warm overlays highlight an emotive final movement. An exceptional remix from Zone+, capping off a welcome return to the label for both himself and Balad.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.
