The sound of the Swedish Underground! Love this Daniel!

Veslemes (aka Felizol) makes his debut on Invisible Inc with this astonishing new album that comes hot on the heels of last year's ground-shaking I Know Where You Live Vangelis!.

With Apolithoma film director Yannis Veslemes takes us further into the dark crevices of his psyche.

The album's themes are inspired by the dystopian  sci-fi of JG Ballard's The Drowned World and The Crystal World: both novels eerily prophetic in their dystopian visions of an irradiated Earth over which a bloated, blinding sun makes living as we know it bearable only within a few hours around dawn and dusk. Sea levels have risen and cities that are not wholly flooded are overgrown with emergent new flora adapting to this new and hostile environment.

In more remote locations, overgrown jungles and forests are exhibiting signs of a strange crystallisation: entire swathes of jungle petrified, calcified, crystalized, fauna included...and stories of missing explorers rumoured to themselves have crystalized!

An allegory for our times, for sure....but more importantly, the album is as adventurous musically as it is conceptually. Where on the surface we have stories themed around an external dystopian world, the music, like the rising floodwater, presents us with a lens through which to look at the internal world: on one hand a distorted prism into what lurks beneath, yet at the same time a perfect reflection - a mirror into the psyche.

At times dark, at times playful, unreservedly psychedelic, the album's wildly different musical styles all capture an atmosphere that is as profound and mystical as it is unique. It's clear too that Veslemes' background in film and OST production has a strong influence making the whole album seem like an imaginary soundtrack to a film that never was. Several of the pieces are strongly reminiscent of the early works of Barry Adamson...but where these faux soundtracks were solely dark and brooding (in particular the classic Moss Side Story) Apolithoma adds mystique, profundity and light which balances the music perfectly.

Featuring an assortment of guest musicians on saxophone, clarinet, vibraphones, oboe, guitars and other instruments not often heard in partnership with electronic music, the resulting collection of songs is up there with the best of Invisible Inc.

"Old J.G. drilled a hole in his forehead
 Willy told him to 
Now he can stay high for life 
Now both the Drowned and the Crystal Worlds can flow from there
 Like a river of wisdom
 Like a broth of despair

Apolithoma (meaning fossil in Greek) was conceived and recorded during the spring of 2020 under the influence of J.G Ballard’s writings and the perplexity of migraine labyrinthitis vertigo episodes."

Hailing from St-Brieuc, Brittany, France, Barney is, at first, a big fan of rock'n'roll, psych, and garage music, and also in love with the English culture (music, sports, movies etc.). He always tries to mix these primal inspirations through progressive selections with all the actual things he loves, like World Music, Electronic, Break, Trance, and Cold Wave. He has found the collective Le Nom de La Rose to organize events and also to create a support for his favourite artists, to share their music with any limit in terms of style.

My friends from When Disco Goes Wrong compiled a release with Swedish producers who have been around for a long time. This resulted in the project "Swedish Smörgåsbord Volume 1" and it is my honor to present a premiere for one of the tracks on my Soundcloud channel.

The son of Swedish psyche rockers Mecki Mark Men frontman, Daniel savo is equal parts uncanny record collector and one of electronic music's most talented synth ascetics. Daniel's music is made on a formula of something out of nothing, man's triumph over machine. His track No More Dancing is a trippy exploration in a dub dimension. A perfect track for slow afterhour sets when landing after a night of raving.

Premiere // Daniel Savio - No More Damn Dancing (Original Mix) [When Disco Goes Wrong] 2021

Pour la résidence mensuelle de Days Of Being Wild, Sam Berdah invite Poisson Gauchiste. 
Derrière ce pseudo un chouïa provocateur (emprunté à une splendide couverture de Valeurs Actuelles), se cache Eric Labbé, un activiste de la scène club et de la nuit parisienne depuis une quinzaine d'années. Connu comme une figure politique du « fight for your right to party » mais aussi comme ancien disquaire, organisateur et DJ, peu de gens le connaissent comme producteur de musique électronique même si son ancien projet Headphone Karaoké a un peu tourné dans les clubs pendant les années 2000.
