🚨 W1 | Chill-out/DT/C

This track is my entry into the OraMIX Science museum competition.
The competition is now closed, thanks to all those who voted for me.

The track is composed from a combination of the stems supplied and various VSTi's and FX.
The dominant feature of the track is intended to be the monster beat which I took from the original stem set.
The massive, booming sound and slow tempo of the beat is intended to represent some kind of sonic giant stomping across a strange and desolate audio landscape.

For those who are interested and unfamiliar with Daphne Oram: (Courtesy of wikipedia)
"Daphne Oram (31 December 1925 – 5 January 2003) was a British composer and electronic musician. She was the creator of the "Oramics" technique for creating electronic sounds.

In 1959 she installed her Oramics Studios for Electronic Composition in Tower Folly, 
a converted oast house at Fairseat, near Wrotham, Kent.  Her output from the studio, mostly commercial, covered a far wider range than the Radiophonic Workshop, 
providing background music for not only radio and television but also theatre and short commercial films.

Besides being a musical innovator her other significant achievements include:
1) Being the first woman to direct an electronic music studio,
2) The first woman to set up a personal studio and 
3) The first woman to design and construct an electronic musical instrument."

In terms of the track title, (again from wikipedia) "in Classical Antiquity, an oracle was a person or agency considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic predictions or precognition of the future." From what I have read, I believe she was well ahead of her time and a true pioneer.

As ever, thanks in advance for any support, feedback, votes, faves etc... It is all very much appreciated. PT 8)

From The 2006 single, (http://www.discogs.com/French-Theory-Kids-In-Belgium/master/81519) - Remastered

Oh- 
The kids in Belgium,
Oh- 
In Belgium,
Ghent, 
Brussels, 
Antwerp 
and Mouscron,
Aalst, 
Aarschot, 
Are all
in Belgium,

They got style,
They got looks,
Sometimes hard,
But always loud,

They know
Just what it takes,
In Belgium,
To get your mind 
Up in the clouds.

Oh- The kids in Belgium
Oh- In Belgium,
We are all
Belgian.

French Theory - Kids In Belgium (Original)

Lukas Poellauer - Departure [Fortunea]

Lukas Poellauer comes back on fortunea with an ambitious 5 track ep. Mixing up house music with the use of traditional instruments and vocals by Spitting Ibex singer Aunty on some of the tracks.
It starts off with ‚Going Down’. An impressive introduction with reminiscences to early garage house records. ‚Falling Back’ folllows up on A2. A tight bass is companied with piano-cues, glittery strings
and a mysterious saxy breakdown, that gives the listener a sort of a cosmic film-noire vibe.
The melancholy continues with the next piece. ‚Departure’, the title-track of this record is placed on the B-side. A trumpet and a vibraphone are the main elements in this laid back, jazzy deep house
tune. It certainly has the blues in it.
While Aunty was only present on the first track for a couple of lines, her voice is placed now more on the foreground with her party song ‚It’s All Good’ on B2.
The record closes with a danceable rework of ‚Departure’ Tieffrequent label head Siggatunez is responsible for this version.
This release will lighten up your day. Stay safe and healthy!

HSM PREMIERE | Lukas Poellauer - Departure [Fortunea]

Co-pilot is the new solo project by MajaKovich's ex drummer, Giovanni "Giangi" Natalini. After his first work (DIY EP) released on
Belgian Wémè Records, he landed at Simona Faraone's label, New Interplanetary Melodies, which for this occasion released its
first tape: Botanical Illustration Takes Patience and Skill.
This limited edition concept Ep is composed of 3 tracks entirely produced and played by Giangi and united by an ecological message
supporting the gentle and ancient botanical art (each tape comes out with a jute bag containing seeds to plant!). The title track (A1)
it's an 8 minute suite which perfectly combines powerful live drum breaks with vocal samples and synths able to carry the listener
until the top of unexplored exotic mountains.
The B side opens with Himawari (B1) an ecstatic track sounds like a desert session on Fuji mountain for a pure musical mysticism
result. On the end Mother Love Nature (B2) leads us to a more familiar territory related to the brand new experimental British trip
hop.
Botanical Illustration Takes Patience and Skill is a compact and solid work that highlights not only Giovanni Natalini’ technical drum skills but also an on point producer able to combine sound research between organic and electronic music.

PREMIERE : Co-Pilot - Botanical Illustration Takes Patience And Skill

While Quentin Quarantino is everywhere
Wash your hands often with soap!
And we, so that your life is wonderful,
Making an organic sound with mettaphysic!
Welcome to the board

De L'Ivresse - Field River [Paper Disco]

The wax is ready to be trashed once again as numero 8 drops in our continuing "Trash The Wax" compilation series!
There’s a few returning folk from previous Paper Disco outings with Danny Russell & Ronald Christoph dropping another chopped up disco funk bomb on ‘Future’s Gonna Get You’.
Brian SNR is back with us and a wicked slo-mo chuggy n dubby offering of ‘Hot Shot’ whilst JB Dizzy breaks out the arpeggiators to devastating effect on ‘Freak Street’ and Gaël De L’lvresse in duo with Sophie De L’lvresse (now just going by De L’lvresse) presents a wicked bass driven infectious romp with ‘Field River’.

Elsewhere there are offerings from long standing friends & members of the Paper family with Joe Morris making a long awaited return on a great piece of late night smoke & lasers style shenanigans on ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ plus there’s Kooky & Damoon dropping more slick disco sounds, From Beyond with another cosmic sounding slice of brilliance and Pico going all trippy with his offering.

Oh and from newcomers we have some jazz-esque edit vibes from Secret Soul Society, a classic gets cut up & rearranged by Jahn Solo whilst there’s an incredible but of 80’s soul/post disco sounds from Paper Street Soul.

HSM PREMIERE | De L'Ivresse - Field River [Paper Disco]

"If life is but a dream then make sure it's a happy one....." 
It all started many years ago at University with an Amiga, a copy of Protracker and a hardware sampler. With influences including The Orb, The Shamen, The Prodigy and everything electronic in between hopefully you'll find something in here that you like. All of the photos on the artwork are either sunsets or the sun rising in places I've visited or near where I live. The idea behind it all is supposed to be that (in my head anyway) my sounds take me to a place of tranquility and peace. I always feel that way when I see a spectacular view of the sun. 

I was recently lucky enough to connect with Pete Farmer from RedSeaDanceRecords (http://soundcloud.com/redseadancerecords) who has now released my first album "Dream States" under his label.
For anyone who is interested it is on all the usual online stores. Check out the track previews on my spotlight tab, there are Beatport links there too.

Thanks for at least checking me out. If you have any interesting ideas, critisism or just good, honest banter please feel free to tell me, I am not easily offended 8)
Cheers
