Edin for Leri Ahel's Mutant Disco Radio Show #389 (2022)

Lion's Drums profite de sa résidence pour nous faire découvrir la scène électronique de la cité phocéenne !  On y retrouve dans cet épisode, en deuxième heure d'émisison, Lugal Lanbada, DJ et résidente de LYL Radio à Marseille qui mêle dans ses mixs breakbeats &amp; ethnomusicologie. 

À l'antenne sur www.tsugiradio.fr (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tsugiradio.fr%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1ayJjcBGPe7r14FCGfVjMQJWFTYTZrKvWJ_pXC_Y4YLNRJfoB_3xJ2n0o&amp;h=AT0v2go8QMbVsDbKNRyoWIUjOzH9C7zfnnVfl_RSZTp855NO0v6iZnJI_MwTvAxLcgxyGIsTKYe15gDbu1B8dUZgqf9GmkmIeMQAxyZzA_-g16aW7GINtYxBHqK-Y6OI78PgW71_PQ&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c%5B0%5D=AT3XouVr4rZ_uLhj043m4_kHQMY8w3t4NVcx1p9wPY93kwH2Xj1ft7FNFlY0A2bJ_epR5SdnVo93H1hdmnBvQLOf7Hn5Y_0kEz2T33fPXLtOEOa_HOMaQuMCRDsvoOX_uSS-05tBsirweCYMEowR0dztOKhEtfUGJDgSRdYmGh18xjMKOHoG3-rKYdhcrLZ4n0h5Bqof)

It was the bond of bold friendship that brought these guys together - and of course a shared history of sub-genre juxtaposition and meshing. Both grew up on Punk, Rap, and of course the early days of Techno. »Still There« is their first EP together and thus of course their first for Live At Robert Johnson. It's a venture into the euphoric, psychedelic power of early Trance and Breaks mixed with the attitude and energy of EBM and Electro.

Starting with the moody slow beats of the title tune »Still There«, Y2C takes you on a journey to a faraway chill-out room in some dark yet warm and cozy cellar. Or is this place to be found in synth heaven? It could well be if you listen to those dreamy melodies. Melodies as beguiling as the song of the Sirens that seduced good old Ulysses.

Y2C pick up on that dreamy vibe but throw in that slight and subtle Trance-factor, taking up speed with »Romantic Squat«, dragging you into their very own romantic squat.

Next up is »Love Your Enemy« - oh yes, shouldn't we all? Icy claps with lots of reverb and a bass line draw you onto the dry ice flooded alluminum floor and there's no way back - especially when that strange break with that crazy sound makes you stop for a second and think, why did I stop dancing? Get back on the floor y'all!

The last track »Mairei« is indeed some kind of a lollapalooza ride, a very special ride. And no, it does not lull you to sleep because the beat created by Y2C here is a demanding one, a special which gets you going all over its eight and a half minutes. It's sheer bliss, you gotta believe it. --- need to change this part!

This is not a one-off novelty EP, it's a kinetic collaboration. Y2C is a force of nature, a force of RAVE/WAVE energy, with many more to come, a force to reckon with.

"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.

Returning to the Ransom Note Records offshoot, Insult To Injury boss Timothy Clerkin presents four prime cuts of rave meatiness for our ravenous consumption. Showing off his chops, Timothy’s distinctive Acid sound collides head on with Jungle and Breakbeat elements, put through the mincer to form an EP of epic dance floor destroyers. 

Dreaming explodes out of the gate first, clattering in with a big, wobbly bass line before dropping into a rapturous rave anthem! Perfect for the late summer festivals. Tour de Trance takes the tempo down a notch, whilst revving up the Hands-In-The-Air-O-Meter! Big, analogue synths build throughout, sweeping us up and taking us to a place of pure ecstasy by the end.

Jangala continues this blissfulness, transporting us to a synthesized rainforest, where birds call and string sections play in perfect harmony. This paradise is fleeting though, as the carpet is ripped out from under our feet and we’re slapped around the face by a rave stab so aggressive, it probably has rabies. 

Broken Wing takes us to the close with eastern inspired melodies and drums interacting with an Acid bass and resonant synth stabs to generate a hypnotic state of being. As we approach enlightenment, the sounds build around us to transport us to a higher rave plain.

Timothy Clerkin - Dreaming EP [Snippets] ITI#20

This place was unlike anything she'd ever seen before. Small white houses lined the winding streets, glimmering beneath the sun, and the city's inhabitants exuded joy, welcoming everyone with open arms. It was like something from a postcard or a fairy tale story. She'd envisaged somewhere like this in her mind, in many of her dreams too, but she never thought she could reach out and touch it. It had always been housed in her imagination; an invisible entity but now it was tangible - it truly existed.

As a founding member of Bourbonese Qualk, Simon Crab has long explored sounds from the fringes, whether that's in the electronic world or the spaces between new wave, industrial, electro, dub and post-rock, among others. After the disbanding of the group and a couple of long players under his own name, Crab took some time away from releasing music, until now.

Invisible Cities marks his third solo album and finds its home in the safe hands of Leeds imprint Space Ritual. Recorded last year at his studio in Hastings, with extra percussion and vocals from Fritz Catlin, David J Smith and Ksenia Sadovski, the compositions echo his formative influences and explorations from ambient, dub, experimental, soundtrack, new wave and more.

PREMIERE: Simon Crab - Invisible City [Space Ritual]

Das Märchen der geheimen Liebe

the end of the world but not the end of us

How do we personalize a digital past? How do we construct a sense of self in an era defined by recursive aesthetics and infinite repetition? The internet allows us to recall not only personal memories, but also a vast, shared reservoir of data—videos, tutorials, cultural references, errors. Our lives are increasingly entangled in a kind of collective memory, where access to the same histories and images can homogenize identity.
And yet, something fragments. The infinite mirror shatters, and from the broken glass, we attempt to piece together who we are.
