DC Promo Tracks: Cabin Luv Affair "Mirror in Mirror"

GOkU, aka Glasgow-based artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Ashton, is set to return with a brand new self-released EP of cosmic jazz and psychedelic, named ‘Evolution Practice’, following his 2023 debut album for Worm Discs. We are pleased to host the video premiere of “GOkUFunk”.

‘Evolution Practice’ marks a new chapter in the ongoing story of GOkU, an artist whose work draws inspiration from the Monkey King, a figure adapted from the Taoist classic 'Journey to the West'. 

Recorded in Glasgow during the early months of 2024, this EP takes a more introspective and pared-down approach compared to the expansive jazz ensemble of GOkU’s previous album, '11:11'. 

The project blends elements of spiritual jazz, Latin rhythms, and hip-hop, while also exploring ambient sounds. Despite the shift in tone, the EP retains GOkU's signature blend of playful energy and thoughtful introspection.

‘Evolution Practice’ delves into new recording techniques and highlights various themes emerging from improvisations. It represents the ongoing refinement of GOkU's personal approach to music-making.

The EP features some of Glasgow’s leading musicians, namely Norman Villeroux (bass), Ben Vardi (congas), and Alex Palmer and Finn Rosenbaum (drums). All other instruments are played by GOkU, his principal instruments being flute and guitar. 

Released Aug 21. Head to our website to see the exclusive video premiere in full.

Reymour - Dix Mois

🍁🍂🍃Autumn is around the corner, getting moody. U know I love edits, these ideas usually come when browsing deep corners of YouTube before going to sleep. This time I’ve revisited Czechoslovakian Stromboli from 1987, and gave it a new touch.

BANDCAMP

OBL4KA - Koshilella

Following a fallow 2023, a rejuvenated Growing Bin return to your turntable with this sublime collaborative LP from Gosha Martynov & Natasha Sinyakova. On their first foray into the physical, the duo expand the spectral ambience and medicated breaks of their earlier work with lithe touches of organic jazz and Cafe Del Mar cool, creating a complex assemblage of dreamy downbeat and emotive electronica that's entirely easy on the ears.

Opener "Pozhaluysta" seduces with smart syncopation and beguiling melody, its flute and fretwork finding ample space to slip around Natasha's voice, equal parts Cocteau operatics and jazz-club coquette, in an expression of a want beyond words. The mood shifting "Osvobodi Menia" sees the solemn, snaking sound of a sampled duduk drift into an optimism of airy pads and escapist mantra, suspended in reverb until the end of time. "Ya Tebia Zhdala" began life as a break-led experiment, gradually evolving into a romantic and naive sketch rich with splashes of piano and dynamic chorus pads. Naturalist hymn "O Dereve" weaves a dark and intimate tale from the point of view of a veteran tree as its buzzsaw guitar loops blossom into multilayered vocals full of emotion.

Awash with sonar sweeps, sumptuous pads and rolling subs, the titular "Imena Rek" channels post-rave bliss into the hypnagogic anthem the contemporary IDM-ographic have been searching for. Infectious hooks and spaced out pads ride the breakbeat rhythm for a dreamy experimental pop banger from another planet. The sombre sway of "Rany", filtered through the fog of a broken cassette recorder, trance djembe and unpredictable bass tones rivals the finest Motion Ward or In:dex releases for crepuscular charm, while "Smeshno" sees serrated drones sink into a slinking rhythm, playing counterpoint to the tender chords and yearning vocals.

"Iskra" closes out the chiasmus with a return to the organic experience of the opener, the flute and acoustic guitar augmented with nuanced hand percussion and a music box refrain. Listening to this album is like a midnight walk through an ancient forest - an experience which both scares and tempts you at the same time. From touching damp moss to feeling the thick fog with your body and watching mushrooms glow in the dark, 'Imena Rek' guides you through the terrain.

Flawlessly arranged and executed, this LP alludes to a long lineage of innovative downbeat, feels absolutely essential in the present and pushes the trip hop revivalists towards a fascinating future - Gosha Martynov & Natasha Sinyakova have created a timeless piece of music, but what else do you expect from the Bin?
