Midi fanfare orchestrator Novo Line is back on Protofuture with a blazing 12”. His album “Racconti” (a concept-album on cassette) gets reinterpreted by the artist’s confrères Eva Geist, Dama, Wilted Woman, Tyler Pope and Elena Colombi, one year after its original release.

Cosmic/electro/dub meets synthetic, pulsing patterns inspired by Novo Line's disorienting yet danceable polyrhythms in this varicolored E.P, which journeys across late night and early morning sounds.

Kindly mastered by Analogcut in Berlin, the music sees the contribution of Protofuture’s inmates Dj Fett Burger, Trent and Telephones on mixing and live percussion duties.

Tracklist:

A1 Novo Line - La Birretta (Eva Geist Remix)
A2 Novo Line - Copertone (Make Dub) Remixed by Dama
A3 Novo Line - Copertone (Wilted Woman Remix)
B1 Novo Line - Sudore (Tyler Pope Remix)
B2 Novo Line - Early Morning (Elena Colombi Remix)

For the second release on Subject To Restrictions Discs' White Series, Los Pashminas from Fribourg deliver a four-track sound experience for dance floors. The complexity of the human experience has led to many theories, which tried to explain the emotional activity of our everyday experiences. In the ’60s Paul MacLean formulated the 'Triune Brain' model. This theory proposes a very simplistic organisation of our brain, which would be too easy to accept since the very notion of 'change' is difficult to give credence to. The wiring between our primary and emotional behaviour is much more complex and subject to plasticity and transformations. What if the very essence of music could follow the same path? Maybe music could take conscience of its own environment and develop its own wave, independently from the human will.
This EP is an essay in which symbolic samples are organising themselves into the genesis of a new form of conscience, a result of a survival-mode experience that pushes the music itself to create its new form. This sound journey was created during the 2020 Pandemic.

This time last year I was on my way to the Waiting Room while I was tuned in to Capital Xtra when I was blasted by a guest mix which sounded utterly insane. I found out it was Alinka and Shaun J Wright putting together the mix and i was hooked. 
Twirl is becoming something of a stateside institution in terms of the releases being put out and it is easy to see this one being played out for months to come.

Journey Into The Deep (Revisited)

PREMIERE | Shaun J. Wright & Alinka - Journey Into The Deep (Justin Cudmore Remix) [Twirl] 2018

“All of these cars were once just a dream in somebody's head”. With the roads relocated to the skies due to the polluted water that submerged the depths of the city, gravity-defiant vehicles speed past mid-level apartments, making higher floors and penthouses the preferred choice for the city elite. The architectural manifestation of class hierarchy stares the population directly in the face, yet they choose to ignore it in favour of the status quo. The previously breathable and bright city has been replaced by exhaust fumes and the smell of decay. What happened to the infinite promise of the future? 

Moscow-based label ида (pronounced Ida) treats us with their latest EP release ‘fragment.you’ from Russian three-piece Chiranuma. The band combine live instrumentation and vocals with impressive production to build leftfield techno with an especially organic sound. Ransom Note’s pick from the release is Panorama Channel’s remix of 'Okean', an ethereal breakbeat stomper of a track. The intro, dripping in reverb and delay, builds the atmosphere before dropping into paranoia-infused futurist electro, fuelled by skipping kick drums and synth stab that sounds like a police car speeding past you.

PREMIERE: Chiranuma - Okean (Panorama Channel Remix) [ИДА]

Ears On Earth & Super Utu present Household Choirs: A selection of housebound voices singing together in harmony. From forth the abodes of 11 independent nations come 22 songs spread across two CDs inside a limited edition double jewel case designed by EOE’s Danilo.

The recent disruption of daily life has caused us to reflect and consider what we believe to be meaningful, important and what brings joy to our existence. For the dance community who have had their places of worship shut down indefinitely, a unifying space we can all occupy is a freedom of the mind. In physical confinement, freedom becomes a state of mind; A place to visit when we can’t move our bodies the way we want to. These two CDs symbolise inside and outside dance spaces made inaccessible to us by the pandemic.

So we gathered a choir of households to share their voices.

The compilation features songs from new and emerging talents Anastasia Zems (RUS), Axis Mundi (ESP), Barbara Taipan (AUS), Benoit B (FRA), BF Treatment (ESP), D.Faux (ESP), Emkay (FIN), Gerdhart (GER), Heap (AUT), JAI (ESP), Johnston&Johnston (ESP), Leo James (AUS), Nice Girl (NZL), Prins Emanuel (SWE), RAMZi (CAN), River Yarra (AUS), Rouzbeh (NLD), Tassilo Vanhöefen (GER), Ubahnrider (GER) & Yanik Park (ESP)

He was a man who did not see life with his own eyes, but comprehended it only through books and was doubly dangerous in that he convinced himself of his sincerity. He unfeignedly took his lust for exalted feelings, weakness - for the inconstancy of artistic nature, laziness - for philosophical calmness. His mind, vulgar in its attempts at refinement, perceived everything in a slightly exaggerated form, vaguely, through the gilded fog of sentimentality. He lied, not knowing that he was lying, and when others reproached him for this, he said that lies are beautiful. In short, he was an idealist.

After he featured on Various # 2, the Russian artist Yssue is back on KUMP with three, slightly incantational, Industrial/Tribalistic tracks. In this EP, Dmitry Nekrotkov explores Nature and expresses his vision of the bonds which Mankind shares with It.
What's more? Two remixes. Ayaz, an artist from Azerbaïdjan and founder of the Yalançi label, delivered a Dub-Techno remix which will turn your brain upside down before chopping it in tiny bits.
The second remix was made by the Duo DJ PG, from Lauzanne (Switzerland). The two pals, both members of the group "La Sacrée Déter" revisited the track "Lust" adding a Psyche-dubik touch to it. Perfect for a matinee on your sofa.
"My music is often a reflection of the state in which I am at a certain period of my life, since I grew up from a musical punk scene, this often involves a certain set of means of expression. In essence, I am in an endless struggle to express some quite lively and human emotions through the cold and artificial world of electronic sounds. That is why there is a lot of melody and sometimes even drama in my music, and this is why I'm often got bored with a static music.
This EP is called "Naturalist", a terms that defines a person who has devoted his life to the study of nature and its kingdoms. This directly relates to my strong belief that the further society advances, the more people are losing touch with nature, something that is real and to which they all belong." - Dmitry Nekrotkov.
