Albergo Intergalattico Spaziale was an Italian progressive rock project born in Rome in the 70s and made up by Giacomo ‘Mino’ Di Martino and Terra Di Benedetto. ’Sideree Isole’ is taken from a collection of unreleased music from 1974-96 and it is a poem played by Terra, who was a singer and a theater actress. Magnetized and fascinated by the mystical scenario described in the poem, I’ve decided to transcribe this feeling in music. I composed an original and contemporary soundtrack with a slow pace, meditative bass and introspective guitar drones to enhance the psychedelic identity of the lyrics.

Joseph Tagliabue is a music selector and producer based in Milan. He is currently a leading figure in the alternative cultural Italian scene. His meticulous musical research reflects an eclectic style characterized by an Italian attitude wich is the expression of the love for his land and its traditions. Tracing a music-temporal path that comes from ethnic rhythms and popular songs mixed with contemporary electronics and experimental sounds. He takes inspiration from the environment that surrounds him and breaks down the boundaries between the genres, blending its musical influences and reinterpreting its origins with a propensity towards the future. He offers refined, evocative and always different emotional performances, tailor made to the audience without ever abandoning his own music identity.

Two one-man bands projects meets together on the first Global Warming various record : The cold-blooded Scottish sound-ingeneer @sordid-sound-system and mysterious Spanish hedonist @sutjagutierrez. Deeply rock-rooted and drug-infused, this futuristic western soundtrack opens with ‘The Void’, a arid dub jam, heavily hallucinogenic and ‘Meanwhile, When Times Turn Bad’, schizophrenic punk jam both recorded from Sordid Sound System’s redwood forests new studio on Northern California. On the other side, the lone ranger Sutja Gutierrez takes us to a dystopian horse ride into shady woods and grey plains, with ‘Everything Leads To An End’ and 'Beheaded Angels', two sensible journey, blending goofy drums, creepy synths layers, heady weird vocals and binary guitars for a unique and mighty melancholic mood.

Sutja Gutiérrez - Beheaded Angels [GW06]

Golden Bug drops four slabs of illuminati science on Multi Culti. Designed to illicit rapid brain-change on the downtempo dance floor, this is Chug-lorica of the highest order of pyramid power, an advanced exploration of occult psychedelia, alternate linguistic realities, cosmic triggers to unlock deeper meanings and higher truths. ‘Cosmic Trigger’ features a speech about LSD de-fragmentation, the title referencing Robert Anton Wilson’s vision of mental illumination. ‘Tamba’ reprograms the linguistic cortex, featuring the vocal talents and lyrical codex of Viktoria Wehrmeister. While ‘Yama’ deepens the proceedings to the point where one questions the very foundations of life.

If this all sounds too psychically challenging  for a peak time party DJ set, take comfort in the supremely playable acid antics of the ever reliable, Marc Piñol. Subdued ecstatic house, this remix perfectly reflects those rare moments of MDMA-bliss where one’s heart is FULLY open while one’s dignity remains intact. Clearly a producer you can count on when you get high and still want to dance. 

Ordained drum-machine funk-monk Krikor smashes Yama into a post-Anthropocene Jamaican dancehall where cyber-dreadlocks connect mankind to ORICOM, the Gaian matrix. To be featured in the rave scene in the upcoming MATRIX feature film starring Keanu Reeves and Richie Hawtin as The AI. 


If that package couldn’t sell itself, then the splendid psychedelic frame of artwork that Ventral is Golden created will surely catch eyes and lure in listeners with the inclination to re-align and reach their highest potential as listeners in absolute union with music.

New You For Others, Same You For Yourself

Sapphire Slows - New You For Others, Same You For Yourself

The smell of sweet spices filled the air; a momentary escape for the senses amongst the chaos of the busy streets. People shuffled along chattering excitedly and stopping every now and then to greet one another like long lost friends. Streams of colourful material decorated the walls while intricately detailed lamps hung from hooks eminating a warm glow. The market was full of dusty trinkets and kitsch memorabilia from centuries gone by; a treasure trove of lost possessions and forgotten items that held stories none of us would ever know. If you looked hard enough, you could find exactly what you were looking for here. Things you might not know you'd been searching for all along... 

Good Skills is the new label founded by musicians and friends Liudas Lazauskas AKA Roe Deers and Titas Motuzas in their home of Vilnius, Lithuania. For the first release they're introducing us to the sounds they've been making together as BDHBTS, offering up two originals as well as a eight remixes from friends both local and international. Remixers for the inaugural release include native talent Zakmina, Russia's Wolfstream, German poet Bryan Kessler, Belgian producers Strapontin and Asa Moto, Ombra International boss Curses, Berlin-based Moderna and Tel-Aviv multi-instrumentalist Alek Lee, who provides today's tripped out percussive rework.

PREMIERE: BDHBTS - Uzdaras Vakaras (Alek Lee Remix) [Good Skills]

In 2019, Parisian cinema composer Jean-Gabriel Becker and Japanese composer and multiinstrumentalist Susumu Mukai embarked on the making of an album that was ultimately going to become Time Very Near. The album that had been their focus for most of 2019 was finally released with great acclaim in April 2020 through the strangest time in history and echoed with their fellow musicians and producers for its singularity and originality. Prompted by a few unsolicited offers for remixes, Becker & Mukai saw an occasion to invite their community of musician and producer friends to re-invent, deconstruct and rebuild the songs on “Time Very Near”.
Studio mates, friends and colleagues accepted to play the game and re-arranged the pair's global grooves and clattering beats into brand new original tracks. They all contributed to make the line-up for this project read like a who's who of London's electronic music scene:
Joe Goddard from Hot Chip, who, from his studio next door, had been a witness of the birth of the project, was kind enough to unleash his killer beats on Spice War. Old friend Jas Shaw of Simian Mobile Disco fame transformed the tropical sounds of Dark Fields Of The Republic into a dance-floor ready techno workout.. Long-time collaborator and friend Sasa Crnobrnja (In Flagranti, Mytron & Ofofo, Auf Togo) took Time Very Near on a trip to Jamaica. Label mate AMA//MIZU stripped Tout Azimuth down to its core to rebuild it with his unique
production skills.
Dreems delivered a sweltering 19 minute version of Dark Fields Of The Republic and a
shorter version more suited for a vinyl listen...
And finally Becker and Mukai chose to don alternative monikers (Zongamin for Mukai and
Lux Prima for Becker) to re-interpret their own compositions...
Like the original album, this remix project gathers sounds and inspiration from an everexpanding palette of influences, assembled into something amorphously intangible that’s simultaneously refreshing and sharp, meandering and cosmic, futuristic but timelessly vintage and manages to expand where the original album left off. In a similar process, the remix album's cover is a re-invention of the original album art and will echo the collaborative collage that was created by the pair for “Time Very Near”.
