PREMIERE: Veltrán - Dismorfia Extrema (A-Tweed Remix) [Belly Dance Services]

In the valleys of the land far and wide,
Where the moonbeams dance and the stars collide,
There lived a Headman, so spry and alive,
With a song in his heart, a jive to thrive.

He danced to the tune of “Live 120,”
A remix by Sen, oh so plenty!
With beats that fizzed and rhythms so fine,
He’d whirl and twirl like aged wine.


 
Through valleys of laughter, he’d skip and prance,
With each step, a wild, merry dance.
For in this realm of nonsense and glee,
Headman ruled with joy and gaiety.

SomeVersion/Live120RMX” is the final single from Headman’s “DeTurning” album. Robi has reversioned “SomeVersion” with late 80s inflections whilst Sen’s reworking of “Live120” melds retro futurism. Spot the break!

not even noticed are an incredibly talented German duo who have been laser focussed on their signature sound since their foundation in 2020. Hailing from Frankfurt & Leipzig, Carsten & Lucas have amassed a gorgeous catalogue of music that incorporates the ethereality of Trance combined with the gritty, heads-down feeling of classic Acid House and Breakbeat. Their latest EP Source Transformation lands on Faux Poly this Spring.

This release showcases the artists inherent flair for treading the line between delicately uplifting melodies and rattling heavy bass. Each track conjures up a beautifully atmospheric future-acid world that is a dream to get lost in.

Words from the artist:
We started producing this EP in the late summer of 2023 in which some of our project’s biggest releases had dropped. Seeking for a way to stick to our signature sound without repeating ourselves we aimed for new grooves and patterns to combine with our sound sphere. The first three tracks of the EP were produced within one month, while Astral Surge was a few months older and happened to be rearranged to fit into the overall vibe of the EP. When Joe and Warren reached out to us to work with them on a Faux Poly project we had a feeling that these would be the tracks that could make an EP. We’re even more glad the feeling was mutual.

Tracklist:

1. Light Beams 
2. Emargico 
3. Low Grid 
4. Astral Surge

The Mild Pitch label head has stepped out on esteemed labels like Freerange, Compost, Ovum, Innervisions, Poker Flat, and Mule Musiq, and own releases have been treated to refixes by the likes of Pepe Bradock, Ian Pooley, Isolée, Jimpster and Steve Bug.  He has worked remixes for the likes of Jazzanova, Solomun, Dennis Ferrer, Ane Brun, Skylark, Nick Holder, Boris Dlugosch, and Roisin Murphy.  Manuel Tur’s huge production portfolio has resulted in the Ibiza native becoming an demand club DJ playing Frankfurt’s Robert Johnson, Ibiza’s Space, Berlin’s Panorama and London’s Fabric.

On ‘Intertextural’ Manuel Tur delves into more cinematic ambient and trip-hop realms, reminiscent of short interludes from 90s classic electronic albums. These twelve tracks of shifting beat structures, meandering loops, and interlocking dubs, oscillate between sample-based and digital textures to form an atmospherically dense tapestry already familiar from Tur's productions for the dance floor. Originally recorded in the midst of the pandemic, and self-released as a digital album, the much desired ‘Intertextural’ long player is now available for the first time in a physical format and cut to 180g vinyl.

He sped down the freeway, the wild west on all four sides. The heat was blazing down upon no mans land from up above as he drove ever faster into the setting sun.

In the distance he could see the horizon, the end was in sight. Was he being entirely reasonable? Were his intentions pure?

Probably not. But as the car whizzed towards the cliff edge like some sort of extra from Thelma and Lousie, he cared little but for his decisions.

Touch Sensitive are set to release a record from Autumns, who once again channels leftfield experimentation into a bass tinged new album for the label.

Pienių Matas is an alter ego for ½ of beloved brothers duo Deserted Island. Refreshing breaks and positive melancholy is what makes this EP so special to release on Skalbiankė. We’re always aiming for quality vibes and Matas manages to deliver on every occasion he gets a chance to.

Chauffeur is his fresh work. It appears as an invitation for a ride where he allows us to listen to his explorations through new sounds and rhythms. Novatory and sentimental, he clashed those two opposites and made it to one superb piece.

Have a great trip! Not only through space, but as well - time.

Tracklist: 

Pienių Matas - Breakfast
Pienių Matas - Lampin'
Pienių Matas - Chauffeur
Pienių Matas - New Way
Pienių Matas - Stress

PREMIERE: Pienių Matas - Chauffeur [Skalbiankė]

Many artists talk a good talk about being forward thinking, constantly evolving and pushing their personal boundaries, but few follow through on this like Armon Bazile. As Aybee, Bazile has put out record after record of deep, innovative house music that draws in influences from across the musical spectrum but that’s only part of the picture. He’s released under countless other monikers, held down one of the best labels in the business for over 15 years, and has managed to cross the divide to become an accomplished filmmaker as well. Having just teamed up for an excellent jazz funk excursion with legendary musician Lars Bartkhun I caught up for a chat with Aybee and we took in a fair bit of territory. We covered his chequered musical past, his creative process and how he’s translated his talents into filmmaking. Now Armon had a heavy cold when we were recording this, so extra props to him for soldiering through and still managing to come across eloquent, insightful and humorous in spite of all the coughing and sneezing.
