Devon Loch - Slow Wave (Nag's Head Room 4 Version)

Cissi Moon changed my life! It was in a now refurbished part of Stockholm in a futuristic cafe/club called Holger that i had my first encounter with loudly played club music. The night was called dB and we lined up with our fake IDs every Saturday to hear Cissi Moon spin Drum & Bass records and let the bass engulf our beings.

At the time the art of making electronic music was totally alien to me, I could not for the life of me work out how to ever make music that carried the same emotional and physical impact as I felt on that dance floor .
I have spent the last 17 years or so trying to get back to that state of being at one and completely lost with the music. 

This record concludes a trilogy of EPs by Peder Mannerfelt on his eponymously named label. What comes next is everything and beyond.

From the new album "Fusion Swing": www.elusive.lnk.to/FusionSwing

In spring of 2017, Elusive will release his next electronic jazz outing, shaping his identity in recent years as a unique song composer and creative visionary. Titled Fusion Swing, the lengthy album is a record of spiritual ascension, vivid color schemes and dynamic rhythms. Pieced together at various studios across Los Angeles, the new record is a culmination of Elusive's history in the cross tandem worlds between jazz, hip hop, beats and classical. 

Fusion Swing’s rhythmic palette is intertwined with hints of the future and portals to the past. Jazz breaks from the ‘50s and ‘60s spiral over syncopated electronic tones with an odyssey of environments in between. The harmonic and melodic scope of Fusion Swing is just as cross pollinated and unique, folding out layer upon layer of organic blends that call to mind the most adventurous electronic artists.

Stretching out his musical base of collaborators, features are added into the matrix of his signature experimental sound. Pushing beyond the hardware and software aspect of this era’s electronic landscape, Fusion Swing glistens with texture, shape and harmony through the addition of saxophone, guitar, upright bass, trumpet, cello and harp. The individuals behind these instruments include Randal Fisher (sax), Emile Poree (guitar), Ardom Beltan (bass), Todd Simon (trumpet), Isaac Takeuchi (cello) and Christian Frederick Thierbach IV (harp). These are all members of the vast community of Los Angeles, embedded deeply within the never ending sense of culture found in the city of angels. 

Nite Jewel presents one of the more unique collaborations to Fusion Swing and the record's lead single, “Rinse Cycle.” Coming off a year of creative acceleration with the Dâm-Funk collaborative EP Nite Funk and the Liquid Cool solo album, Nite Jewel walks a fine line between soothing vocal cadences and dynamic color tones. Her vocal additives on “Rinse Cycle” carry that same essence of uncompromising beauty, showcasing how valuable the collaborative process is to this album. For all those looking to grab a unique piece from Fusion Swing, the “Rinse Cycle” single will be included as a limited edition lathe cut 8” square picture disc. The uniquely shaped vinyl pressing will be offered as a collectible in a volume of only 25 copies. 

For the visual extension of Fusion Swing’s album cover, Elusive called on surrealist collage artist Mykal Alva. The LA based visionary created a unique series of works that complement the album's sonic ethos and among those pieces emerged the finalized artwork. Building on the album design Mykal contributed on the last Elusive LP, Headspace, the art is a glowing counterbalance to the worlds of sound Elusive harnesses. On the engineering side, Fusion Swing was mixed and mastered in Los Angeles at the Cosmic Zoo by label owner Daddy Kev. 

The seventeen track full length drops on March 24th on Alpha Pup Records.

Elusive "Rinse Cycle (feat. Nite Jewel)"

"The future for magnetic bubble memories - and there still is one - was more modest now. 

Glass knew it. And knew he had to un-know it.
Not productive, Mr.Glass.

Because for now, in green quiet, Martin was enjoying the minty spike of his cocktail. A dragonfly, coloured in brilliant metal, arced and spiraled around his recliner. Pleasure's bubble and hum. 

Hugging the horizon, the observation deck reveals a panorama over the crystal bay. 

Against the slow sky, the pacific. 
And a wavy, patterned ice-cream."

Martin Glass - Reach The Beach

Powder is an up-and-coming producer from Tokyo who had put out only a couple of releases on Born Free and ESP Institute when Resident Advisor featured her on the monthly series “Breaking Through” this past August.
Inspired by her first visit to Cocktail d’Amore in 2015, she was so enthralled by the atmosphere, she started working on an EP for the label – capturing her experiences from the party.
The way Powder interprets sound is extremely personal and unique. 
The opener “Hip” has a driving sensual groove with hints of acid, seasoned with a good amount of loons and a mysterious foggy melody while “Heart” sounds like an italo disco aural translation of a shojo manga script for a “fun in the sun” tinged story.
On the flip side a slowmo industrial-meets-rainforest groove characterizes “Hole” followed by “Hair” in which she blends many layers of rhythm patterns together.

We're proud to present the first set of recordings from cocktail sipping erstwhile businessman Martin Glass. These are giddy odes to decadence, beamed from a lilo caught in amber. Glass's visions range from Bach-like, fizzing arpeggios to strangely melancholy mbira symphonies and sunken yacht karaoke. 

RIYL Mike Cooper, Haroumi Hosono, Endless House. 

'Pacific Visions' is a joint release with our friends Dramatic Records.

FACT mix 616 - Lanark Artefax (Aug '17)

Taken from 'Colón Man', the exceptional debut album proper by visionary Jamaican dancehall artists Gavin Blair (Gavsborg) and Jordan Chung (Time Cow) plus their extended crew, aka Equiknoxx - once again for Demdike Stare’s DDS label. 

Where their widely acclaimed 'Bird Sound Power' primer compilation, issued on DDS in 2016, brought the rest of the world up to speed with the music produced between late ‘00s and 2015, their first album now brings a 2020 sound into sharp, technoid focus thru a baker’s dozen steely, heat-seeking riddims galvanised with clinical electronics and a Midas Touch approach to sampling.
