Moon Phase Gardening

Raga Soledad

B3. ISOR29 - Raga Soledad (6:47)

Was it a crime to daydream your life away? Thinking about the what ifs and the should haves; imagining yourself in scenarios so far removed from your reality... There was certainly no harm in it, idealism was an escape, it provided a respite from what was happening here on solid ground. If you preferred to live way up above the clouds, drunk on fantasies and wishful thoughts, what of it? Let yourself drift... at least just for a moment.

rRoxymore has proved herself a master of leftfield electronics. These sounds have come via releases for Ideophone, Timedance and Don't Be Afraid, the longtime partner who've housed several of her records since 2016. On her new EP, I Wanted More, a debut outing for Aus she continues her exploration of contrasting textures and atmospheres - intricate and tender synths combat crunchy, powerful drums to create a "perfect elixir for any morning dance floor".

PREMIERE: rRoxymore - Drunken Clouds [Aus]

DÔME avec Mimmo - 11 Juin 2022

After the first Jam experiment back in 2019 here we have the second chapter of the Bosconi Gang Band session pressed on this limited white label hand stamped & numbered waxx.


This jam was recorded in front of an actual crowd in an event held at Manifattura tabacchi Florence on the 21st February 2020 just a couple weeks before the pandemic started and the first lockdown happened in Italy.


The concept is the same as the previous one with Fabio Della Torre on the mixer conducting the gang mysitc gulf this time with: from left to right  Ennio Colaci from Minimono, Dukwa, Rufus, Andrea Giachetti & Antonio Pecori from “The Clover” and Dj Rou.


As it happened with the previous release,  the actual jam follows the order of the live execution which naturally developed in a crescendo of speed and intensity. 
The result is a collection of 5 of the best takes slightly mixed and revisited afterwards but very much faithful to those performed live.

This is another adventurous release that goes well off grid, plays with strange temps, original textures and moods.
Bosconi Gang Band aims to be an itinerant live improvisational  project open to all artists who have released on Bosconi Records that sets the goal of always being unpredictable and special, naturally affected by the artists who perform always creating something unplanned new, and unexpected.

“A very exciting blueprint for the continued evolution of modern dance music!!”

PREMIERE : Bosconi Gang Band - 105 Keen

"If we were young we'd rise and dance," murmured Cyn as she surveyed the scene from up on the hill. The police had broken up the party, not so much with violence but with the threat of it. All of the fires had been extinguished and smoke was rising in languid plumes as the sun rose over the valley. Most of the ravers had immediately scarpered, probably back to their comfortable middle-class existences to do hot knives in their parents' garage while listening to the latest Fantasia mixtape. But for Cyn and her friends, this was a way of life. They had no place to go but to push on to the next site, the next party. "If we were young we'd rise and dance," she said again, louder this time so everyone who was still with her could hear. "We are young," said Boothy. "Let's go."

Nocturne Thunder is a cousin to A Lily’s acclaimed 2020 album Sleep Through The Storm. As with its progenitor, the songs - including 'Like Rising Smoke', which is premiering on Ransom Note today - were mostly built live, looping and layering a single performance, pushing repetition and patterns. Exploratory, cellular variations on a theme, beautiful, lyrical songs that say something without lyrics.

Whereas Sleep Through the Storm dealt with themes of loneliness in surviving the demands of a challenging world, Nocturne Thunder relates to unifying to overcome them - dancing through the night, together, in abandon and defiance of all that seeks to crush us. It was inspired by 90s New York Rave culture, especially Antenne Books' collection of flyers from the era.

PREMIERE: A Lily - Like Rising Smoke [Bytes]

Time Points is the common project of two French composers, Arnaud Denzler (member of AT and of the collective “La Claque”) and Michaël Laidet (αίών). This duo met during the formative years of their musical journeys and, after a decade of regular collaborations, is now pleased to present their first collaborative EP Temps Long. This seminal release is made of four tracks composed in a discontinued fashion alongside two remixes from closely orbiting artists: Karim Kahar and Zwei Kreise.
The composition process of Temps Long was a six-year endeavour. The collaborations were at times far in-between, so this was the necessary time period for them to be able to bring this EP to its final form; bearing in mind that the four original tracks are the result of multiple iterations. Each trial, tribulation and new interpretation contributed to the depth of the experience and to the variety of the sonic landscapes set forth during this EP’s duration.
Both Arnaud and Michaël wanted to stress the collaborative aspect of Temps Long. They not only involved Karim Kahar further in the project than his initial mixing role, but also asked Zwei Kreise for another interpretation of the experience. Karim’s ideal overview of the ensemble allowed him to offer a brilliant reassembling as he had been intimately involved with the production of the duo’s sound. His precision work is more akin to a deconstruction of the visions presented by Time Points, rather than to a synthesis of the aforementioned work. Zwei Kreise on the other hand wished to pay homage to the legendary late Finnish visionary Mika Vainio in his “10 a.m.” remix. The resulting spectral panorama was obtained by drawing inspiration from how Vainio reconfigured a track from Popol Vuh from the OST of Cobra Verde.

PREMIERE : Time Points - 10 a.m.

He woke in the morning, hungry. At night he'd go to bed, hungry. It was always the same, always had been.

See this was the life of an addict, days spent scrambling through empty packets, looking for that lost drop of sweet stuff which might keep him satisfied for just a little while longer.

He didn't really care in what shape or form that it took, as long as he could taste it upon his tongue as he indulged in one of life's most simple of pleasures. Some might see him as a sinner but who were they to judge, for they never knew how bittersweet it might be.

Sugar today, oh, and sugar tomorrow.

A Psychic Yes is one of the most interesting producers in the UK right now. Yeah, we said it. Abstract polyrhythms, sludgey textures, meandering drums. It's all in there. Previous outings have seen appearances on the likes of Kalahari Oyster Cult and Tech Startup. Now Nummer welcome new sounds to the label and they are as unique and cool as ever.

PREMIERE: A Psychic Yes - Sugar Today, Tomorrow [Nummer]

Jack Hamill’s Space Dimension Controller project has delivered some of the most enduring electronic music in recent times. Via single and album releases for the likes of Ninja Tune, Royal Oak, Dekmantel and Aus Music, SDC has thrilled with a certain timeless sound that has embodied science fiction swirling tones, glitchy and granular beats and a nostalgia for electronic music that always sounds futuristic.

On the ‘Cro²ma’ EP, SDC serves up a trio of intoxicating productions for the Hypercolour label. Highly accessible, yet detailed and intricate in design, Space Dimension Controller soaks all three tracks with sanguine melodies and bass blippy frolics that make for an exemplary release from the seasoned producer.

Eldoria
