Following the high-energy peak-time pulse of the Night Edition, Serialism Records continues its 18 years celebration with Before Everything Else Vol.6. The Morning Edition, the second half of a double compilation that captures the label’s full emotional and sonic spectrum. 

The Morning Edition (Part 2) dives into more stripped-back, minimal, breakbeats and after-hours terrain, crafted for those intimate sunrise sets and hypnotic deep-space dancefloors. 

This volume reflects the label’s soulful, heady, and more introspective identity. If the Night Edition was built for clubs and peak-time pressure, the Morning is for open-air rooftops, early morning tunnels, and sun-kissed gatherings where sound takes on a dreamlike quality. 

This second half features a powerful lineup of underground artists, both veterans and rising voices, each shaping a unique moment of this sonic journey. 

Vlad Arapasu delivers signature hypnotic rolls, while label founder Cesare vs Disorder & label partner Weg return with a deep minimal-breaks fusion. Fantastic Friends boss Nicolas Duvoisin crafts a pristine minimal gem, and Christian Berger (ex-Deaf Pillow) brings groovy off-kilter class with B4. 

Eddy Romero teams up with young UK’s Mika for a smooth, dubby ride. Zlene, Neu club’s Stockholm regular, adds playful funk; Richard Rozen, Sousk, and Ocean Lam lace the morning air with groovy pieces with melody, warmth, and ambient textures. 

Mathieu & Max Jacobson blend moody minimal techno with early light feels, while Random Voices sends a hypnotic transmission straight from Beijing. Mad Dim & Kirill Golikov add a sharp, clean minimal swing, and Botanic Soundsystem & Shade of Green ride the line between deep house and ambient. 

Don’t miss Serbian standout Sloxxx with his darkly seductive Piknik Pored Puta, or Serialism’s own Rhom Omit, who closes with a dub-heavy elegant sunrise closer. 

Once again, the aesthetic dimension is shaped by Fernanda Mattos, Serialism’s long-time Art Director, whose visual work has been integral to the label’s identity since day one. For Vol.6, she delivers a unique counterpart to the Night edition, lighter, dreamier, but equally bold, perfectly reflecting the atmosphere of “The Morning.” 

Together, Night and Morning, these two volumes of Before Everything Else Vol.6 aren’t just a celebration of the past 18 years. A snapshot of the label’s present voice and the vibe of a global community of sound seekers, DJs, producers, and lovers of the underground.

Sonatina Seriella

Composed on February 4th(?) 2025.
In a slight 'joke' lesson planned about the 'Serialism' form of composing, our class was tasked with following the basis of the average Serialism piece to create our own. Here is whatever I created on that day.

SERIALISM

The post-serialist piece is based on a series of variations and permutations of three series of 6, 8 and 10 notes on rhythmic elements inspired by the melody of Bobby Timmons' jazz piece Dat Dere. It develops in panels, in which the previously introduced elements are reworked and reused. The title, in addition to being a tribute to Bobby Timmons, refers to the famous series of children's books by English illustrator Martin Handford, Where's Wally? 
Just as in the Wally books, where each volume contains a series of highly detailed illustrations with many characters and the reader is invited to find a character called Wally, distinguishable among a thousand difficulties only by his red and white striped shirt, in the piece the listener is led to follow the metamorphosis undergone by the material, searching for the rhythmic elements inspired by Timmons' theme, which through a series of permutations and variations become almost completely indistinguishable, creating new and surprising soundscapes compared to the jazz mood of the reference track.

Dov'è Bobby?

elleri şişmiş, boğazlara yapışmaktan
sokulduğu mahlukattan kazancı 16,90
damlatmaz en ufak fırsatı, hırsı diri
yırtıcı elleri iz tutmuş pansumandan

şehrimin zirvesiyle denizi arasında bir sokakta
gençlerin canına kıydığından sigarasını yaktığı katlara
her birinde piyasada değişken birçok veri, takip etmeli
kim tutuyor bizi, ha bayır aşağı, ha peak ve ilerisi

dayanak ihtiyaçtan uzak artık, yuvarlanalım
alıştık kullanmaya pansumandan kalanı
yükseliş belki de tepedekilere mahsus, tek yönlü sefer
kıy canına, aşağı sokakta yaşadığın yeter

"Discussion sur le pamplemousse" uses rhythmic displacement and note lengthening/shortening techniques to propose various transformations and permutations of a series of eight notes of equal duration. The title is obviously a tribute to Erik Satie. The series of eight notes is derived from four starting notes: C (Do) – A (La) – D (Ré) – E (Mi); “c-a-de” in Italian is the present tense singular of the verb “cadere” (to fall). The piece is constructed as a mirror image: the first part, which ends at bar 94, is then reproduced in retrograde form, reworking it as if it were a distorted image.

The piece for an ensamble of 11 instruments and 2 percussionists is divided into seven modules that form a symmetrical, specular shape. The atmosphere is nocturnal, dark and grotesque, with a lively dialectic between the various instruments. This is a serial composition that is part of a group of pieces inspired by the modular technique used in pop-art (Obey, Warhol). The piece was inspired by Hopper's Nighthwaks.

The piece, in post-serial style for six clarinets (choir), is based on a series of variations and permutations of a series of 8 notes on rhythmic elements inspired by the melodic line of ‘Moanin’, a famous piece by Bobby Timmons, a jazz pianist of the prematurely, like many of his contemporaries who were overwhelmed by alcohol and drugs. The title is inspired by the biography of Bobby Timmons, who considered himself an ‘amateur composer’ despite having written some of the most famous pieces in the soul jazz genre, such as Moanin', Dat Dere and This here. In a 1964 Washington Post article, Timmons stated that he had “never consciously sat down” and had never “tried to write a song”. He added that his method of composing consisted of “whistling” or “playing with notes”, perhaps in a club, after a concert.

"Discussion sur le citron" uses rhythmic displacement and note lengthening/shortening techniques to propose various transformations and permutations of a series of eight notes of equal duration.
