Geisha - Pegasus EP – The Beauty Of Melody Recordings
In a label the name should give a hint to the sort of music we are expected to receive…  The Beauty Of Melody eases into new waves of ambient mystery and detailed sound scapes with this gorgeous EP from Irish music act – Geisha.
Geisha is an accomplished transformer of sounds, able to really capture a certain essence that we rarely witness in the saturated electronic music world.
Inspired by monumental artists such as Brian Eno, Stockhausen, The Orb and Susumu Yokota, it’s easy to see where this Pegasus EP gets its level of diversity, originality and complexity…
Pegasus Tornado – winds and whistles through ambient domains and leads us into a sort of majestic cinematic state…  With its broken beats and swirling eerie ambient washes.
Delusions Of Light – full of rich nature sounds – birds, harmonies and a sublime instrumental part towards the end… This track caters for all!  The main groove is very driving and big beat with a slight oriental twang.
Towards Fulfilling A Prophecy – has a lot to do with what the name suggests… This piece wishes you into an ambient euphoria.  Kept in play by the nice simple rhythm and bassline, we keep moving towards a familiar place…  Elements of more modern groups such as Bonobo or The Cinematic Orchestra come to mind here.
This luminous Pegasus EP is a taste of what is to come on the upcoming Album from Geisha…  Truly pure melodic sounds that should not be missed!
Tightly rounding up the second release for The Beauty of Melody Recordings and making a heartfelt step forward.

PSYENCE RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE RELEASE ‘YOU & I' AND ANNOUNCE UK TOUR DATES THIS OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER

“A frantic game of snakes and ladders through the kaleidoscopic soundscape” 
NME

“All soaring riffs and sweeping vocals… an intense listen, one that focuses the flamboyance of Psyence into some serious elixir for the third eye” 
Clash Magazine

“The melodic sensibilities of Tame Impala with the rhythmic thud of ‘Exterminator’-era Primal Scream, classic Can and the bludgeoning blues riffs of The Dead Weather” 
The Quietus

“Face melting rock that sounds like Wooden Shjips drowning in a thick, molten vat of acidic organs and churning riffs” 
Q Magazine

PSYENCE have announced their return this October with an infectious new single ‘You & I’ and a series of live dates this October.

Blurring the lines of 60's Americana garage rock and flirting with modern-day psychedelia such as Pond and Temples, Psyence is an intense chemical reaction of face-melting riffs, dynamic vocals and groove-based rhythms that have been locked away up north to slowly mature away before they break out this year.

The 4-piece from Stoke-On-Trent are a band that continue to step into new frontiers. Following on from their acclaimed singles 'Chemicals For Breakfast' and ‘Phoenix’, Psyence will now release another heavyweight single ‘You & I’, mixed by James Aparicio (Grinderman, These New Puritans, Spiritualized, Liars). While it’s more assured, more confident, and more tightly wound than their previous output, it’s another dynamic piece to the armoury that bears the unmistakable sound of Psyence.

Already lauded by the likes of NME, Clash Magazine, Q Magazine, The Quietus, Artrocker and The Guardian, as well as being hailed "the best live band" he'd seen in 10 years by The Charlatan's Martin Blunt following their Liverpool Festival of Psychadelia performance, Psyence are rapidly becoming much much more than just a new ‘one to watch’.

‘You & I’ will be released on October 23rd 2015 through Salvation Records. Psyence will hit the road on a series of UK tour dates throughout October and November.

LIVE DATES;

Stoke, Sugarmill 17th October
Leicester, Soundhouse 29th October
Nottingham, Jam Cafe 30th October
London, Powerlunches 31st October

Blak Rainbow: The Electric Lazarus - Insanity Girl

The unique & mysterious Ekkobot returns with some more tales from deep inside the mind with this Pleasure Seeker EP.  After some time since his previous Mind Field releases with Whack The Feral and The Monkey Inside Us, Ekkobot's sound continues to develop and follow a pathway like no other...

Exactly what Mind Field Records is about, aiming to represent that underrated esoteric and pure sound that you will find all over this EP...  Technically it may not be perfect but that's part of the magic in a world where things are often over formulated and over polished...

All 4 Tracks take a deep meaningful approach to their intricacy and sound, which can only be described as esoteric melodic electronica...  Gameboy Wednesdays being the more playful of the Tracklist, provides a fun easy-going melody to shuffle to.  Cusp & Blissful Retreat are deep and more oddly textured, while Pleasure Seeker is a firm tune full of originality and excitement.

Did Ham the Astro Chimp know what he was in for as he was launched into space?

MrEH A.K.A Eric Houbron is a french Techno producer. His music, full of analog synths and classic beat sequences, is marked by the influence of the 90’s Techno movement. Expensyon EP faithfully represents this style plus his melodic approach. MCMLXXII is a faithful representation of classic melodic techno; a base of analog synths give shape to the melodic structure that accompanies a strong but "slow" beat, a perfect “slow-dance” tune. In the second track Sein-nu a bass arpeggio is the base for a set of subtle melodies that come and go making this track a full synth trip. Finally, Booiamrudolf has created two very special remixes honoring the main theme, Rudolf deliveries two remixes full of deep melodies but strong enough to lift spirits in any big festival or dance floor.

Release Date: 24.03.2016
Catalog: CLO002

All tracks written and produced by Eric Houbron.

A few months ago we had the opportunity to introduce you to Geisha with the "Pegasus Tornado" EP. We announced that this work was only a brief introduction to their world of sound. Now we bring you a full album,"The Delirium Introduction", 11 tracks that introduce us to a delirious parallel universe, a magical and organic musical world beyond compare, an album full of melody and harmony, ranging from organic sounds to some of the most psychedelic and experimental electronica being created today.
Since the debut album "The Sounds Of Geisha" in 2007, Geisha have shown a profound sense of musical exploration. The new album is evidence of the development of this adventurous and explorational talent. With a combination of electronics, effects, loops, guitars, percussion, strings and perhaps any musical element which may have been available to the creators, this album shows how far it is possible, through sound, to alter the surrounding reality. 
This is a wonderfully experimental album, yet discreet enough to produce a warm, pleasant environment for the listener to sink into. There is no better way to introduce you to this world than the sound itself ... welcome to The Delirium Introduction.

Shakes & Shudders album is an eclectic mix of subtle melodies, syncopated beats and hard driven synths. The result is both romantic and energetic. Summery and warm, yet noisy and moody. The artist himself defines the sound as lo-fi psychedelic techno but there are also strong melancholic themes.

All tracks written and produced by Mike Sims. @timeenoughforlove
