Lick-G has released a new song, Olympic Summer, immediately responding to the current critical situation surrounding the Tokyo summer Olympics. The timely track is distributed free of charge. This new song samples the title track from the recently reissued 1987 album "Kenka Oyaji” by Hoodoo Fushimi, who is Lick-G's father. The lyrics for Kenka Oyaji described the world 34 years ago, but the situation has not improved, prompting Lick-G to write his own song for the world today. 
Olympic Summer is written mainly in Japanese, but incorporates English lyrics to give non-Japanese listeners an idea of what is happening in Japan right now.

One-to-watch, Liam de Bruin steps back up to the Heard and Felt plate with the irresistible live house grooves of "Lavender".

Since the release of modern disco jazz funk number "Friday Evening" on Heard and Felt we've impatiently waited for more from this exciting musician and producer. Finally, under the guiding hand and ear of Heard and Felt label boss Ennio Styles (3RRR FM/Worldwide FM), Liam is readying an EP that set to explore his love of house music and live instrumentation, from disco, boogie and jazz funk angles."Lavender" is a deeper number than "Friday Evening'", embracing more synth tones and a slinky, sexy, late night feel. And just when you’re feeling settled in the spacey groove, you find it's been growing in all directions, twisting into a low-key disco jazz bounce.

Considering Liam's feel for live house, jazz funk, boogie, and so on, it's no surprise he has been embraced so quickly by fellow Melbourne artists that have inspired him, like Close Counters, Horatio Luna, Teymori and Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange. Also recommended for fans of fellow MIMS-favourites, like Malik Alston, Julien Dyne, Byron the Aquarius, Floating Points, Kyle Hall, Theo Parrish and Duke Hugh.

"Lavender" is released on October 15 on Heard and Felt.

LYRICS:
sinister bell 
don’t resonate this round
time’s lost again 
isn’t it obvious?

I don’t want to seem 
it’s so far from me 
I just want to be 
It’s a part of me

what will it be this time?
pass along a sign 
then I’ll digress
avoid the glow 
side eye the hunch divide
span time while I crawl through the wall

I don’t want to seem 
it’s so far from me 
I just want to be 
It’s a part of me

what will it be this time?
pass along a sign 
then I’ll digress

it’ll go again
fight until the end
I just want to be

don’t forget that it’s our ground
two feet when I look down
sure doesn’t feel right 
I won’t forget 

chimed in now 
it falls apart
shadow donned the cap 
close to the heart 
it’s all drowned out 
with no regard
shadow donned the cap
close to the heart 

calling to, not getting through
calling to, not getting through to you

missed the plot 
it didn’t stand at all
blindsided 
breath it in 
time to slow it down
reassure me now 
that you’ll recognize your own
shrill voice 
silence save me now!

what will it be this time?
just pass along a sign 
then I’ll digress
don’t forget that it’s our ground
two feet when I look down
sure doesn’t feel right 
I won’t forget 

chimed in now 
it falls apart
shadow donned the cap 
close to the heart 
it’s all drowned out 
with no regard
shadow donned the cap
close to the heart

It's been 10 years since the birth of Music Is My Sanctuary, and what a 10 years it’s been! Started in 2007 by Alexis Charpentier aka DJ Lexis in Montreal, Canada, Music Is My Sanctuary has been dedicated to discovering and presenting music often overlooked by mainstream music channels through articles, interviews, radio shows, DJ mixes, and events. 

The "10th Anniversary Compilation: Never Stop Digging" is an eclectic collection featuring 17 unreleased tracks from artists who all share the same vision and passion, and who represent the mentality and styles that Music Is My Sanctuary works to push forward. 

Side A focuses on some more floor-oriented grooves from artists who are known for both producing and DJing. Side B (kicked off by the ever-mysterious Clutchy Hopkins) is dedicated to the Hip Hop and Funk heads featuring artists who have all put their own unique spin on genres that have come before. Consider this a Future Classics affair! 

This project is a collaboration with 101 Apparel, who are providing the "Never Stop Digging" T-shirts which can be purchased from 101 Apparel directly. Both the T-shirt and cassette were designed by Montreal's Nik Brovkin. The official Music Is My Sanctuary 10th Anniversary celebration was held at Montreal’s Centre Phi, promoted and broadcasted live by Boiler Room. A big thank you goes out to the artists who provided tracks for this compilation, and to all artists who keep creating such fantastic music for us to share and enjoy. Without you there would be no us, and for this we can’t thank you enough!

Dark Entires is honored to reissue the long out of print debut album "Elevator to Eden" by Lives of Angels. Lives of Angels was the brainchild of Gerald O'Connell from London. In 1974 he worked at CBS studios in master recordings from tape to disc. By 1977 he formed his own band Mystery Plane with his soon-to-be wife Catherine and school mate Mark Harvey. Gerald branched off in 1980 forming LIves of Angels as an output for his own compositions. He recorded, produced and played all of the instruments on "Elevator to Eden" between 1981 and 1983 with some help from Catherine. Using a primitive set up of drum machines, one keyboard, guitar and a tape echo. Influenced by the Krautrock sounds of Neu! and Amon Duul II and US psychedelic rock, Lives of Angles crafted their own unique post-punk sound. 
"Elevator to Eden"  was originally released in 1983 on cassette by Color Tape Records, the label started by Gary Ramon of Modern Art. Then in 1986 Fire Records remixed and re-released the album on vinyl but the band was not happy with the mixes. This reissue features the original 4-track cassette mixes of "Elevator To Eden" on vinyl for the first time ever.  The LP includes 8 songs featured on the original Color Tapes release plus bonus track "In The Image Of Youth" with lead vocals by Catherine. All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley directly from the original master tapes. Each LP comes with unreleased photos, original artwork and a lyrics for all songs.

Just as clubs and music venues worldwide have shuttered, victims of a pandemic and overall dystopian experience that most living human beings have never been through, XL Middleton unexpectedly brings us the soundtrack for the dance floor in our minds with ​Rose Bowl Motel​. It’s a four-track EP crafted with XL’s signature synth sound - modern funk music turned sideways, into something that house/electronic DJ’s can easily work into their sets as well. The songs on ​Rose Bowl Motel ​run long and expansively, evolving slowly and giving any turntablist plenty of time to weave in and out of a mix. Moods are set via dexterous analog bass lines and shimmering keys. In fact, the entirety of ​RBM is instrumental, save for the EP’s thunderous opener, “Shotgun Lover,” featuring a slinky vocal from Zackey Force Funk plus vocoder work from XL himself. “Crown Royal Bags” centers around airy keys and boogie bass syncopations, while “Swervin’ On The 210” alternates between jazzy rhodes chords and sharp synth leads reminiscent of D-Train classics. The album’s closer, “1990 Brougham d’Elegance,” was the first song Middleton cut for the project, several years back between sessions working on his T​ap Water a​lbum, and sounds like a sharp turn from anything he released in that period. Warm chords, housey organ stabs, and DX7 jazz guitar solos are the recipe here, proving XL is, and always has been, an artist/ producer capable of working effectively in many different modes. The club may have been shut down for now, but there’s always an after hours going down in a smoky room at ​Rose Bowl Motel​.

Lewie Day – aka Tornado Wallace – ups the meteorological ante and turns in some laser-guided, ethno-hypno, eco-lectro jams for the eighth Beats In Space Records release.

The three tracks of Tornado Wallace’s Desperate Pleasures EP sound like the work of a comfortable yet adventurous producer who isn’t afraid to take a simple yet exotic theme and stride to the other side of the jungle. According to Wallace, this is “music for darker times in warmer climes, for where there is sun there are shadows.”

What began as in-the-moment experiments with an assortment of old synths, drum machines, and dusty library records evolved into three super dapper, viscerally contaminated compositions, each one more zoned in / out than the next.

Drawing from 70s kraut, 80s post-punk, electro, and 90s house and trance, the ten plus years of producing / DJ experience that Wallace boasts allow for all of these elements to fuse together quite tastefully and strikingly at that. Ultimately, these Tornado jams dodge genre conventions for a curious and compelling outcome.

Each 12″ from Beats in Space Records features original artwork in considerate and serial form. This 12″ features the tropical creature comforts of Californian Steven Harrington and comes on tri-colored, Day-Glo splattered wax. The 12″ packaging constructed by Will Work For Good features a removable vinyl BIS logo cling.

Tornado Wallace’s Desperate Pleasures will be released on June 18, 2013 on Beats In Space as a limited edition 12” and digitally.
