Ola Radio Takeover w/ Daisy Mortem @ TESTFM — 29/07/2021

So I must still mean something to you
'cause you wake up beside me on an airplane
and ask me: “How do I stop the car?"
I wanna say: “Don't worry, from where you sit 
there's really nothing you can do”
but I have to be my old self again
and kiss you and tell you where we are 

Float! the plan isn’t weak                     
the debris in a creek                              
passes over                                                                                                              
an old, submerged vessel                                                                  
a two-faced rover                                                                                                          
                                                                
Someone’s lifework is swelling under me
I don’t quite know where to look                                  (mmh we don't know anything)
or how to look at it correctly,
I'd rather ask you: "With the three years between us
will you stay put?" instead 
it seems that you’re older
performing to the bends ahead

Float! the plan isn’t weak                                            (is this our get-away chance?) 
the debris in a creek                                                    (tell me in advance!)  
passes over                                                                  (babe just lean in and                                                                    
an old, submerged vessel                                          search the stream for luck)                                                
a two-faced rover                                                        (just gotta trust that it won't clog)                                                                          
                                                                                       (promise we won’t get stuck?) 

And so the security would last longer than we thought                   
let alone the wait for vacancy in a packed sky     (an entire rugby team           
black flies                                                                    walking around in midair
backfire on the spot                                                  at disconnected, pure speed)                                     
I thought I lingered for a minute to drop dead or drop up  

Well youth lacks much of life, we’re living proof
I rush to revenge the second I lose my patience (you point at timid, nervous                                                                                    
to wait for a concession                                            hierarchies through all you declare)
just to backfire on the spot,                                     (let's wait for it)                                                        
and kiss you just to wake you up                            (let's just wait for it)   
now wake up    

Float! the plan isn’t weak                                         (is this our get-away chance?) 
the debris in a creek                                                 (tell me in advance!)  
passes over                                                               (babe just lean in and

Deep Relief by De Kat Memwa #18 w/ Kalivas (24/09/23)

"Explore her music with three new songs that lead you on a mesmerizing path through her beautiful musical world. From joyous almost childlike melodies through the wickedness of some people’s thoughts down to the sacred hymns of someones birth or funeral all spiced up with some up-to-date lyrics."

Title: Ready When You Are / Änderungsvorschl​ä​ge
Label: @kontrapunktsound
Release: November 3, 2023

PREMIERE: Jūra Elena Šedytė — Every Molecule (Kontrapunkt, 2023)

After releasing his sophomore album ‘Quiet Bloom’ in 2020 Minais B is ready to unfold his next musical chapter. An album of delicate, instrumental music that revolves around loss, longing and love. 

On ‘The Ghost Duets’ Minais B weaves together the realms of the inner and outer worlds, seamlessly blending organic sensibilities with programmed patterns. Through the the ethereal notes of synthesizers and the rhythmic resonance of homemade percussion, Minais B crafts mournful moments that encapsulate the intricate duality and ecstatic solitude of the individual.

The idea of the duet is a continuous theme. A saxophone plays with its own ghost, an electric keyboard sings on top of a river and synthesizers chat, sing and yawn in duet with each other, sometimes melancholic, other times joyful and uplifting. At times it feels like humming along with your loved ones and at other it feels more like humming along with yourself. 

The album is released via Minais B’s own imprint Anyines, known for supporting the experimental galaxies that the local scene embodies, with releases such as the acclaimed ML Buch sophomore, ‘Skinned’ and the iconic Jura debut ‘Formality Jerne-Site’.

PREMIERE: Minais B — Weeper (Anyines, 2023)

Step into the entrancing universe that is Estuary Tapes, an independent label nestled between Dinan and St-Brieuc in Brittany, France. As the name suggests, Estuary Tapes unites the calm tranquility of murky waters with agitated tides to form a hypnotic musical experience.
Like a rich ecosystem, an array of music genres embrace one another with ease. With Brittany’s coastlines and countryside offering a unique source of inspiration to the label, their up-and-coming releases transport us back to a sort of dark celtic mysticism, a colorful serenity, an unfinished quest.
Styles such as ambient, experimental, breakbeat, folk, dub and techno music piece together to form a broad mosaic, the hallmark of Estuary Tapes. Each composition takes us on a journey to unexplored lands where the past and present meet harmoniously. Visuals and art are also essential. Always looking to create a captivating aesthetic, the images marry the sound to create a totally immersive experience. Promising to bridge together local spirit and the global scene, Estuary Tapes is the artist’s playground, a safe place of expression for emerging artists, managing events to carefully developed releases.
Labels' debut embarks on an inter-dimensional voyage, with the label at the wheel. Tabensi, Théo Muller and Transe Ar Gwez are to be the breton guides accompanying you in the front seat. They are to be cordially supported by Los Pashminas, A-Tweed, Oltrefuturo, Kendu Bari, Shjva, X.C.I, Isabel Del Bosco and Orphic. Together, they awaken the estuary's abyss. A far-away echo of mermaid song will emerge from the shadows and come into the light. A forgotten tale of mysterious spirit, soothing nostalgia, dark ardor is resurfacing, set to the sound of trippy synth melodies and resounding drums.

Title: Iki Pasimatymo! LP
Label: @noorden
Release Date: November 2, 2023
Format: digital / cassette
Buy: https://noorden.bandcamp.com/album/iki-pasimatymo

A longtime contributor of the label, ex-Cologne based / freshly Lithuania-relocated producer Nikita von Tiraspol returns to Noorden with his new cassette album, »Iki Pasimatymo!«, which is his way to say ›goodbye‹ to the city he called home for many years. Following up to his 2019-issued solo tape »Was Lucifer More Beautiful Than Adonis?«, this new effort from the German producer has us embarking on a multi-faceted ride down kaleidoscopic rapids of downtempo, jungle, folk and electronica narratives, all rolled into one luxuriant tableau of variably lit and emotionally versatile fluctuations.

The opener »Anschlag auf alle Kontinente« translates anguished vibrations into raucous bass menace billowing out from under quiet beds of watercoloured synth swashes, and across a grain of playfully tap-tapping drums. Thunder and aether as one. On the off-kilter and colourful »Interzone Inc.«, Nikita von Tiraspol shows his more experimental-leaning facet, whereas »Gratte-Ciel Oddity (ft. Leo)« evokes that of Bochum Welt’s most weightless, ambient-friendly sonic tapestries. Back to a proper cinematic vibe, »Talking Is Nonsense« is a poetic sequence of floating pads and shifting octaves – think a haiku of sorts, languidly dressed against a screen of vaporous abstraction and metronomic straightforwardness. Reminiscent of Eduard Artemyev’s haunted organic soundscapes, »Saldžių Sapnų« conjures up consoling images of nature through minimally re-arranged, patched-up field recording and strips of oddball drum programming, endowing it with a near esoteric rhythmic capacity.

An ambivalent slab of atmospheric lushness and proper intricate jungle patterns, »A Critic’s Opinion Makes People Change Their Minds« is pure bleached-out D’n’B on a down phase, its chiselled snares and hats cutting deep in the nostalgic flesh. Pushing the junglistic cursor a little further with »Random Friends«, Nikita von Tiraspol blows a fiery wind of 8-bit-like dementia and faded folk tropes as chopped-up UK style percussions hover over the battle field ominously. Sliced and diced to exhilarating – near Gabber-ish – effect, the snake-charming »Gilian Taylor« evokes Demdike Stare on a trip to the souk as seen through a polaroid lens. Pure dreaminess is on with the chimey »My Mind During Night«, where brittle bells peal joyfully as we depart for all-blue and peaceful ocean-like territories. »Thank You For The Time (ft. Eglé)« rounds off the package on a ghostly, beatless note, beautifully topping off Nikita von Tiraspol’s bright new soundtrack to everyone’s daily bag of small struggles and superlative bliss. ~ Baptiste Girou

Iki Pasimatymo!
