Taken from SBKT059: Gooooose - Rudiments
Limited vinyl + digital - 26th July 2023

For our 59th release, we are very excited to present ‘Rudiments’, a new album by Gooooose.

‘2022 was a strange time in Shanghai. The good thing about being locked inside for months on end was that I had had the chance to find the time to observe ordinary, everyday things that surround me and probably many other people. A pencil, socks, a packet of biscuits, vegetables, meat, or small thoughts or some feelings or emotions that last for only half of a second. They all have interesting shapes and very delicate structures, multiple layers, like some sort of primal architecture made by an anonymous person many years ago. They are constantly telling stories, however often ignored by me, or us, for whatever reason. I decided to sit down and observe them carefully, and later started making sounds for them and their stories.

in drumming, rudiments are small and sometimes fundamental pieces that could later form longer rhythmic patterns.’ - Gooooose

µ-Ziq - Goodbye, Goodbye (bdstf Jungle Edit)

Words Fall to Ground is the new digital release on Creamcake from vocalist and producer Organ Tapes.

Organ Tapes is a part of a geographically dispersed set of rising “post-club” and scene of artists that include collectives like Bala Club, Staycore and Genome 6.66 Mbp, as well as artists like Blaze Kidd, Palmistry, coucou chloe and others, he has been releasing music independently under the Organ Tapes moniker since 2009.

He notably released Word Life on influential dance and club label Tobago Tracks in 2015. That album brought a stronger focus on OT's vocals, which continues in the Words Fall to Ground EP, while adding production from his peers, including Berlin’s @sodaplains, Paris’ @blu174 and Liège’s @ssaliva.

‘Believer’ is the only song of the four that features only Zha, and it meanders through the smoothest incarnation of the artist’s cut-and-paste aesthetic, one that liberally takes from a world of pop and noise samples, acapellas and field recordings to create the kind of raw, political world-making pioneered by artists like Elysia Crampton.

Words Fall to Ground EP will be released in full on May 5, with a launch party at Berghain’s new Säule club on May 12.

Casey MQ - Glossy Lips

Berlin-based events organisers and label Creamcake are pleased to announce their latest online release, Casey MQ's Nudes EP (released September 28)with lead single Between Waters out September 7.

The Canadian singer, songwriter, musician and producer blurs the borders between ambient production and melancholic soul, distorted club music and electronic pop. A classically-trained pianist, Casey has scored original music for a number of films that have screened at TIFF, SXSW and Hot Docs Film Festival, while producing for other artists including Zaki Ibrahim, TiKA and Cadence Weapon.

Most notably, the Toronto-based artist released a collaborative EP with Paris’ oklou called For The Beasts on Parisian label Permalnk in December last year. A reimagining of pop-star vocal samples in mutated form, Casey MQ carries this preoccupation with dance hooks and synth melodies into Nudes. Five singles swagger through the RnB influences of an updated lounge music for the internet era, similar to contemporaries Dan Bodan and serpentwithfeet, while focussing on delicate, sometimes odd, harmonies not unlike anohni. Lead single “Between Waters” is the more epic of the bunch, where a prancing synthline and crisp kick sustains Casey MQ’s luscious voice on an unyielding EDM high.

The “Between Waters” music video and single release precedes the Nudes EP, which drops on September 28, and Casey MQ will be performing 3hd 2018’s “Energy Exchange” — along with QT, Bob Vylan, and Golin — at Säule on October 25.
