PREMIERE - Point Guard - Pump Tool (Truth Radio)

Beside the railway depot, beyond the equinox, the atmosphere felt tense. Movement defined the top of the arches, but in the darkness beneath, there was little much kinetic or soulful with which to connect. Bird song crept into the nocturne, it's inky black sky beginning to bleed blue.

A whole year on from his debut on Hot Concept, Bleaching Agent continues his journey "from gabber to Goldfrapp" with another exemplary EP on Hot Concept, the Berlin-based label run by John Loveless. Premiering on R$N is 'Faster Silence', which distills BA's lifelong love of DIY culture into a slowly rising outsider-anthem in waiting, replete with post-punk licks, crashing drums and rich synths; big room house for basement punks.

After his debut "Mare Aperto", Amsterdam-based Gropina returns to the light with a four tracks 12” EP out on Paesaggi Records.

“Microcosmo” is a synth melody with a slow-rolling Roland 606 drum-machine rhythm, Quena flute by Hamburg saxophonist Linus Kleinlosen, ambient pads, and natural field recordings. The atmosphere of the song brings you into a dewdrop in a blade of grass in the early morning hours right after the twilight of a sunny day. Following we fade into a dreamy dancefloor jam called “Awumbuk” where bittersweet chords are backed with a Yamaha RX5 rhythm, a groovy FM baseline from a Yamaha DX100, and Roland D50 Lush pads. On the flip, we can find an adventurous downtempo break jam called “Natura Naturans” marked by trancey elements, a solid bassline, and an evocative flute melody. The journey ends with “Omen” which is a dark slow jam characterized by a live processed drum machine groove with a hint of wave influence and a metaphysical vibe to it.

Side B and the riso-printed insert depict the head of the bifid siren from the Romanesque church of S.Pietro in Gropina. In Christian symbology, the fish-tailed siren represents the seductive power of the senses and illusion, which distracts man from the spiritual realm by attracting him to ephemeral pleasures. Like every human-animal hybrid creature, the siren is the duality of intellect-primordial instincts and the conflict between the double nature of man.

Microcosmo has been conceived and recorded between 2018 and 2020.  The release includes a riso-printed insert and a sticker.
The release is hand-stamped.
Mastered at MaSpaventi Studio.
Instruments used: Roland 606 - Yamaha RX5 - Kawai K4 - Yamaha DX100 - Roland D50

PREMIERE : Gropina - Microcosmo

What’s My Derivative?’, is the new label from London/Brighton-based duo Casino Times. Much like the radio show of the same name, WMD? aims to release music that explores the unusual spaces between house & techno, showcasing emerging producers and former guests of the show. Artists are invited to interpret the sound of the label as they see fit, giving them the freedom to explore different styles without the constraints of any rules. Profits from WMD?001 will be directed towards the Trussell Trust, an incredible charity that helps those most in need in the UK [www.trusselltrust.org].

WMD?001 kicks off with 'How I Came To Find Myself' from mul.apin. The Berlin resident sets the tone for the release by opening with a dramatic, hair-raising string sample. The track is brushed with gentle synth stabs and a distant melody that dances gracefully across this heavy hitter.

Up next is High Hopes, the mysterious producer that has not made an appearance, since featuring on Casino Times’ 2014 release on Wolf Music Recordings. High Hopes is a master of programming and the hypnotic 'Mind Art' demonstrates just that; a captivating blend of swirling pads and rhythmic elements that weave the listener through a dream-like soundscape.

London-based Baby Rollen delivers a real moment on the release with 'Tyst Eufori', a peak summertime boogie that skilfully deploys a washed-out vocal - perfect for dancefloors under the sun.

Finally, Casino Times closes the release with the psychedelic 'Bloom', a track that’s been a feature in Casino sets for a few years now, with big drums that were made with bass bins in mind.

Tony G, Drummy, and French Horn Rebellion reimagine Haruka Salt & Tongji’s ‘Everything We Love Will Fade in Time’ EP this September on toucan sounds.

Following Haruka Salt and Tongji’s original EP earlier this year, which picked up support from the likes of Carista, Elena Colombi, Cromby, Ciel, and more, Brooklyn imprint toucan sounds ready a heavy-hitting remix package featuring reinterpretations from French Horn Rebellion, Drummy, and Tony G.

Breathing new life into the original EP, toucan sounds team up with the Sorry Records crew to deliver a family affair featuring some of New Yorks most exciting talents. Leading the release, label boss French Horn Rebellion, via their singer Robert PM, turns in an emotive vocal performance over the original track, utilising dense reverbs to match the dynamic arrangement.

Following is Drummy’s take on ‘Never Satisfaction’, which sees the NYC-based DJ/producer flip the track into a tripped out breakbeat jam complete with flanging FX, dubbed-out vocal hits, and pumping low end. Rounding out the release, Sorry Records honcho Tony G turns in a banging house remix of ‘Scrabble’, reaching for snaking acid lines, snappy drum hits, and dense chords.

This is an updated, remixed version of Pariah. When I went back into the original files, I saw that I initially planned to title the song Outsider. So that was the choice this time around. It's a heavy sound, definitely influenced by all the years of listening to prog rock.

Outsider

@Nocturnelabel boss Jordan compiles the second installment in his From Belfast With Love series, this time supporting talent from across the city, but also extending a warm invite to some friends further afield.

Although the way in which we consume music has changed and clubs remain closed - From Belfast with Love shows a city standing in solidarity; free to create and connect to those willing to listen.

Across fifteen tracks, artists involved effortlessly move between ambient rich coloured worlds, acid-tinged goodness and rhythmically complex intricacies, inciting feelings of hope, wonder and private contemplation.

Arvo Party and Gibsun provide two stunning pieces of work, as our windows are cracked open and we drift beyond the clouds to worlds less-known, shining a well-deserved light on new talent across the city. Matheson returns to the compilation series with a feel-good nostalgic bubbler, while Belfast's Timmy Stewart debuts his To The Bone project- gifting us a brooding cut of carnivalesque energy. First-time contributors Tech Support and Zillas on Acid embrace odd-ball rhythms and an acid down-pour, giving the compilation a well-rounded edge that can transcend beyond any dancefloor.

100% of compilation profits will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee. The charity are working with communities profoundly affected by the corona-virus pandemic, particularly refugees in war-torn countries including Syria, Yemen and South Sudan. Your donation will help raise urgent funds to those fleeing war and living in fragile states and is deeply appreciated.

A city no stranger to conflict, From Belfast With Love unites our love for art, kindness and unity at a time we need it most.

50% of From Belfast with Love wall art to charity in month of February.
