[Weekly Mix] 2022.04 (3)

Music for the insomniacs and house trained cats

We've been away for a little while but none60 returns with a new various artists album - Audience of none.

Believe it or not the album's title was conceived just after "none of the above" was released and way before we even had any tracks ready for it, little did we know at the time that the title would sum up the last 15 months of club life in the UK and most of the world. You may find it even harder to believe that the opening track's name predates the pandemic! The earth has always been evil after all... how could the home of us humans be anything but?

Audience of none is a colder and darker album than its predecessor but each track has just the right balance of synths, beats and atmospherics that make it such a great return for none60. From the dub techno vibes of Arlow's "Bear Dub" , the pulsing synths of "Elevated State" by 3VS to the eight-minute abstract landscape of DYL's closing track "Elder Gods" there is an almost retro futurist theme running through the album.

A 4 track limited run 12 inch is also available containing the tracks -

SPINNET - PERTURBATIONS LP [SYH002]

We are very excited to present you our second release, "Perturbations", an album written by the futuristic Greek producer Spinnet, which we already know from releases on labels such as Literature Recordings or Regression Media among other important labels. His versatility as a producer means that we can also find him in other projects such as One Arc Degree or Space Scavengers where he explores other sounds of electronic music.

Spinnet captivated us with its sound and vision of Drum and Bass with Techno aesthetics and gave us a 9-track Grey Area style album, with two collaborations with Constant Strain, where cinematic and sci-fi sounds are complemented by atmospheres where light and darkness come together to immerse ourselves between hypnotic rhythms at 85/170 Bpm in an authentic cosmic journey through unknown universes. We are very proud to have this album on our label, we hope you like it!!!

⊶ 𝓔𝔁𝓬𝓵𝓾𝓼𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓲𝓮𝓻𝓮 ⊷ Favorite Danish duo @lyravalenza and their debut full-length album!

Support via Bandcamp ➜ https://petrola80.bandcamp.com/album/low-gear-no-pressure 

☗ Lyra Valenza set the tone for their first full-length album "Low Gear No Pressure" (@petrola-80) with an idyllic ambiance, which then tumbles into feisty, heartfelt dance workouts. 

☗ Across eight tracks, the Danish duo explores the pixellated euphoria of their previous ‘Scan, Deliver’ and ‘Nightshade Edition’ EPs with a more focused sensitivity.

☗ On this track, "True Computer" we can hear all the characteristic sounds of the Lyra Valenza. Hard Drums, Vaporwave Aesthetics, trance synths and a psychedelic atmosphere. You can dance as well as relax and contemplate with @lyravalenza specific original music.

Rhizome releases the compilation album Hypersea inspired by hydro feminism and becoming a body of water.

The Copenhagen/Berlin based label Rhizome releases a compilation album inspired by the writer Astrida Neimanis. On the album you’ll be presented to a wide range of the Copenhagen underground from artists such as Messell to Varnrable.

Friday September 1st 2023 Rhizome releases and celebrates the compilation album Hypersea. The compilation album takes its point of departure with the text ‘Hydrofeminism - Or, On Becoming a Body of Water’ by Astrida Neimanis and contains 18 tracks from the Copenhagen underground scene apart from a track from New York namely Laenz who earlier this year released a double single on the label. In each way the artists have interpreted the text by Neimanis and worked with its topics such as water, fluid borders and feminism.

Alto Aria about the album: “With the current threat of a watering ban in Denmark, increasing pollution and lack of water all over the world, we zoom in on water with this album. We wish to follow Neimanis’ thread about water and feminism – she teaches us that we and our identity, like the fluid borders of the oceans, always are negotiable and never fixed. With the compilation we celebrate water and its essential role in our lives. Whether it is through the lens of clean drinking water, an identity in flux, dying fish, the western pollution level or something completely different, we wish this album to be a reflection over and a get together around what we all depend on.”

The album has become a sonic collage of a watery quest, fast footsteps, shifting and fragmented choir pieces, broken beats and hearts, soothing synthesisers, harsh wind, caring bodies, uplifting beats, polyphonic saxophones and long reverbs. Hypersea is curated by Alto Aria and presents works by Hôy la, ilinx, Saltmother, Julia Becker, ill, Angel Wei, Lyra Valenza, Faber, Jason Lee, Bysund, Holger Seidelin, Astrid Nørgaard, KRY, Laenz, Varnrable, Messell, Skarv and Alto Aria.

Rhizome is a Copenhagen/Berlin based label started in 2020 by Aria Leth Schütze and Mads Krue Bugge. The primary focus of the label is experimental electronic music and alternative release formats. Rhizome has released music by artists such as Alto Aria, Skarv, Swell, Polly, Nemo, ioulus, Laenz, Ida Urd, and ill as well as the compilation album bag/belly/box. So far Rhizome has presented music and artists in Copenhagen at Øen, Alice, Mayhem, and Christianshavns BUY LINK: https://rhz000.bandcamp.com/album/hyperseaBeboerhus.

PREMIERE : Lyra Valenza - Workmode

“I Am Here Now, When Will You Be Here Again?” collects 28 contemporary voices, from or with connection to the music landscape of Copenhagen today. 

In 28 songs and more than two hours of music ”I Am Here Now, When Will You Be Here Again?” presents a multitude of expressions. An empty holiday retreat, a portrait of a season’s end. Echoes of emotion, laughter in the background, someone cried here too. Sandalwood scent or patchouli, rain pools gathering on the piled up daybeds, it is colder now. If the storm comes, i’ll let myself get carried away too. I am here now, when will you be here again? 

The compilation is presented digitally and as a limited set of cassettes out late October “I Am Here Now, When Will You Be Here Again?” is the newest addition to a lineage of Posh Isolation compilations. Sung in voices of today it echoes a past cry; 

“Give me a mask to put my face in. A mask to put over my other mask. What do I care if some curious person sees my flaws? Let this mask, with its black eyebrows, blush for me.”

PREMIERE: Lyra Valenza — Reverie (Posh Isolation)

Petrola 80 bosses @lyravalenza have jumped on a second instalment of @terra86's ‘EROTICON’ compilation series.

Where Vol. 1 gathered familiar faces within the realms of ambient and drone, the second instalment edges closer towards the dancefloor. Proper hybrid biz and our pick takes exactly the kind of genre-agnostic approach we’ve come to expect from the duo.

Ascending to a higher plane, ‘It’s The Vibe’ achieves its widescreen quality setting trap drums against choral harmony and beatific synth. Sublime stuff.

'EROTICON Vol. 2' is out soon on Terra86.
