Premiere : Delicate Wash - Λ ο υ ε [Delicate Wash]

Kristė was and still is one of the few, who experienced woashing rituals from the day uno. During the time she spectated, danced and played along, few personal gigs appeared, and look at it - she’s one of us now, the DJ!

Play and enjoy!

As some might noticed - we have a new jingle and an artwork. For design input thanks to Matas Paulikas!

What a band name! Does the contraction of “polyamory” and “armory” say anything about the duo formed of famed producer Michael J Collins and singer Ashley Moore? We didn’t dig the issue further but focused on what we have here. No newcomer, Michael J Collins is some sort of a genius hermit, who produced a number of weird house efforts on labels such as Wolf + Lamb, My Favorite Robot or Apersonal Music, to name a few. His tunes even landed on the Fabric series. But Michael much prefers the shadier underground, and launched his own label FilthyBroke Recordings releasing leftfield instrumental hip hop and pop since 2014. Together with Ashley Moore under Polyarmory they push the bounderies of electronica meets the dancefloor. After of 40 years of dance music history, we wondered if there was yet anything new to bri? These two provide an answer right here. Go figure if this house, electronica, trap, bass or something in between or above! Polyarmory brings a fresh transcendental interpretation of dance music.

To complete the pack with exquisite remixes, Amarcord and Jamie Paton have been invited to join the effort.

Amarcord is a musician, DJ and Live Performer also active in the experimental music circuit.

With a very diverse background that ranges from Krautrock and Ambient to New Wave, Disco and Techno, Amarcord's productions are truly original and unpredictable choices that went as far as having him be one of the to release music on Laurent Garnier’s secret label Cod3 QR, or featured on record labels such as Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant, Watergate (for the compilation curated by Who Made Who), Ombra International and Aeon and many more. He takes 'Dream Back To Sleep' further reaching the quintessence of what the Special place label's goal is about, a shamanic and cosmic take on dance music.

Jamie Paton, is one half of Cage & Aviary and considers himself part man, part machine, part cockatiel. He's a self-described DJ, a one-finger keyboardist, and a pot-tickler. Having put out releases to acclaim on the ltd editions that are Dissident Distribution, Cage & Aviary have since spread their wings with releases on DFA, Tiny Sticks, and Astro Lab. For his part, Jamie Paton brings 'Like Flies To Honey' into some form of dubby abstract land of sounds.

Israeli-born Berlin based producer and DJ Omer debuts his first release on Cocktail d'Amore with two offerings of celestial house. The title cut blends the sounds of the east with an immediately seductive atmosphere of bright melodies leaving the listener plenty of room to be transfixed through it's entirety. “Dust” dives deeper to reveal a more melancholic mood built on a symphony of lush pads and swirling metallic percussion. On remix duties are the wonderfully quirky Estonian duo Ajukaja & Andrevski who deliver an oddball re-imagining which sends the original into outer space as it gently builds to sparkling fervor only heard on the outskirts of galaxies. Rounding out the release is Man Power with an acid tinged burner which explodes into en excitement of live percussion and pads leaving any dance floor in complete ecstasy.

London residing, Franco-Canadian Chloé Raunet aka C.A.R. has been immersed in the world of post-punk, cold wave and her own brand of off-kilter synth-pop since the days fronting her band Battant. Playful, machine-driven and dark, C.A.R.’s music travels between glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop, all emanating from a self-confessed crush on too many genres.

This is the first new material to emerge from Raunet under her C.A.R. moniker since last year’s triumphant and critically acclaimed PINNED album - her first outing on Ransom Note Records. Growing with confidence and maturity with every release, her output continues to expand in both ambition and depth, exploring the outer reaches of left of centre pop.
Taking on the mantle of producer, singer, and songwriter once again, Pressure Drop sees her delve deeper into the shimmering, layered world of synth-laden, shoegaze electronics she’s been hinting at on previous outings

In the loneliness…

“Pressure…. Drops.”
We’ve kept the remix action short but sweet this time around - i.e. not 14 remixes of one record.
Uber remixer extraordinaire Suzanne Kraft re-treats Raunet’s vocals, twisting the track into a brooding, bubbling, late-night, dance floor thing of beauty.

“Stop my heart it runs ahead, like a dog it barks, roll over, play dead.”

Second original track on the EP ‘Suture’ sees her explore the further depths of Raunet’s soul, refining her palette with glimmering, claustrophobic electronics.

This new material - packed with intricate left turns and tiny details flickering away at the edge of hearing - has been mixed by Daniel Avery collaborator Ghost Culture and mastered by Keith ‘Radioactive Man’ Tenniswood

Out 27th March 2019 - https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/CrossingPriorStreet

@C_A_R’s new album ‘Crossing Prior Street’ merges gritty dance music with esoteric pop, telling the story of escaping a broken childhood in Vancouver, and finding her way to the lonely streets of East London, at the tender age of 16. Endorsement of the personal journey, it’s an album dedicated to restlessness; a mechanism for tackling unresolved conflict, with others and within herself.

C.A.R. - Sore Loser

He dragged his feet along the ground, kicking up the stones underfoot. It wasn't the outcome he'd hoped for, he thought he'd come out on top. For weeks he'd been planning how to win her over and sweep her off her feet. But it was too little too late. He'd waited too long and now she'd slipped through his fingers. He wished he had somebody else to blame...

In all the excitement of announcing C.A.R.'s second album on Ransom Note Records, we overlooked the incredible remix of 'Sore Loser' from Manie Sans Délire's Trenton Chase. Stripping back most of the vocals, he morphs the track into a hypnotic wave cut, propped up by driving synth lines. Crossing Prior Street will be released on 27th March with further remixes from the likes of Radioactive Man, Trenton Chase and Anna Wall...

In those dire times, the strange has to be counted as a revolutionary force. Microdosing Vol. 4 is an antidote to the sterile streams and dreams, confined ideas and lobotomising nostalgia.

We create multiple portals to individualities standing up against the new normal, our shared pineal gland opening a communal spontaneity.

Strapontin’s Join the Earth provides you with a psychedelic map to a better world, providing you accept to get lost along the way. The path to a better world is inside your mind.

Benedikt Frey’s CNDY could be the anthem of our New Model Army. This is a marching beat but to a mental guerilla. No ranks, no leader, just a will in action.

Joakim’s Macrodose is our non-order come true, the refusing of the new normal as a sabbath dance of electronic witch drums.

Be Safe! 
We know we are, but our music never will be.

Choosing... Acronyms... Randomly ...
‘Layered, fascinating and irresistible’ - DJ Mag

‘Astonishingly accomplished … Many influences are on display, but C.A.R. connects them in a way uniquely hers.’ - Electronic Sound

C.A.R. (Choosing Acronyms Randomly) is a musical project conceived by Chloé Raunet, a multi-faceted creative living in London. Her self-confessed crush on too many genres results in a unique blend of glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop. 

Following three albums on iconic, queer Parisian label Kill The DJ and UK’s Ransom Note, the live act now consists of herself and Joni Green. This latest combination champions female empowerment, injecting fresh energy and hype into the show. Together, they are building a reputation for pulsing, magnetic, sweaty and unforgettable performances. 

December marked another excursion into uncharted territory with the release ‘avant pop masterpiece’, Anzu. More new songs are tricking their way into the set, and C.A.R.'s next LP is on the near horizon.

A fan of the weirder edges of electronic music, Chloé also DJs and hosts the monthly 'On The Slip Road' show on NTS Radio.

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
