Today's premiere comes to you from Brooklyn's Alien D. The latest release from Lillerne Tapes, Sunday Painting, is a mind-bending journey through pillowy synth textures and kaleidoscopic rhythms. Alien D (aka Stress aka Mr. Aloe) brings a playful approach across the EP. One that is protean in nature from track-to-track, yet shares a common feeling of psychedelic repose.

Our premiere track today off Sunday Painting, "Compassion Track", begins with a contemplative ambient intro that elicits fractalized imagery and gives way to swooshing downtempo grooves. Swirls of color drip down the canvas and begin to pool towards the bottom like a bubbling caldera. The brush strokes begin freeform, and as the piece continues to take shape, become more angular and defined as percussive wisps pitter-patter in the distance. Alien D creates an empathic listening experience that leaves one with a feeling of connectedness to the world around them. It is a track that suits introspective meditative explorations as much as material heartfelt connection to one's fellow being.

Sunday Painting is out today on Lillerne Tapes and available via cassette and digital download. Also check out Daniel's label Sweat Equity for music that showcases the bleeding-edge of  NYC electronic music.

After 5 years of 'Fortnightly Freebies' columns collating our favourite free downloads, we decided to do things a bit differently for the 100th chapter. Introducing 'Big Material', a 19-track 'name your price' compilation that will donate 100% of profits made to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity supporting some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society.

At a time when unfair austerity is increasing inequality and leaving so many behind, we hope to support a community that has given so much to the 'scene' and music we love. Digi-dub abstractions and drifting ambient to kaleidoscopic breaks and newly-coined genre, 'subtle donk', it's a pretty accurate microcosm of the If-Only curation as a whole.

Big Material pulls together music from some of If-Only's favourite artists, with tracks from @apsychicyes, @riveryarra, Material Things (@12th-isle), @priori-ties, @nicholaswilson1982 & @steviewhisper, @benoitb, @maxabysmal, @58daniel, @bogdan-drazic, @whyesss, @twitch, @warzouk, @thomasbakk, @eyemeasure, @rdjm0, @furiousfrank, Moonphase (AKA @cl_lit), @moonbowmusic and @aki-aki.

--------------

Soft and calm, we, like light
fray into gentle chaos.
Big material unfurls
Then turns to collect, reform –
Like breaths, draw in
To new poise and structure;
Solid and slow.
Never still. Glacial.

Think back, before
A piece of things,
Moving alone, once a part –
But when is the fragment
not the whole?
When is the whole not the whole?
The salt which made the chalk
Which made the cliff
Which made the slate -

Hard to see,
Once a part and still, we are,
A piece of something else.

--------------
All profits go to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity working to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people live in safer homes, free from fear, where they can celebrate their identity and support each other to achieve their full potential.

Tuskegee Music producer D'Marc Cantu teams up with Danny Passarella on Passarella Records for their second collab, entitled 'The Future Has A Silver Lining 2'.

Following on from their previous collab in 2019 on Les Disques De La Mort, Michigan-based artist D'Marc Cantu re-joins forces with London-based producer and Passarella Death Squad's founder Danny Passarella. Passarella Records has previously had the likes of Perc and Oliver Ho both featuring alongside Danny and now sees the regular studio partners collaborate again on their next analogue- driven release.

'Survival' opens with dystopian soundscapes, splashing rides and a broken-beat rhythm before 'Reality' locks in a solid groove with analogue kicks, arpeggiated keys and decaying claps. Next, 'Appearance' energetically canters with layered cymbals, distorted snares and sharp synths until 'Memory' closes proceedings with an evolving bass, subtle drums and a hauntingly atmospheric sound floor.

D'Marc Cantu & Danny Passarella' The Future Has A Silver Lining 2' drops on Passarella Records on 24th April 2020.

The snake slithered slowly through the tall grass. The sky overhead was grey and ominous as if it might rain at any second, as such the serpent quickened its movement and headed for the rocks. He watched all this from his little perch by the fire, out there in the outback amidst the absolute nothingness of a wild expanse of countryside and the dense brown dirt. The flames flickered before him as the raindrops slowly and softly began to fall from the heavens. 

Consulate is set to release a new EP on Australian based record label Good Company Records, an anticipated affair. Ten percent of all profits from the release will be going to local charities in Mooro, Noongar Boodja (Perth, Western Australia).

PREMIERE: Consulate - Serpent [Good Company Records]

The market was packed, bright colours and loud voices echoed and reverberated in the hall as people flocked between stalls and purchased goods. It was a magnificent kaleidoscope of colours, an ocean of exuberance in which wild things lived and grew. Vegan chops, magical fruit, mythical plants and dense greenery aplenty. Hanging baskets, tall trees and the wild exotic scent of spices from far, far away. He watched on as the sun began to set in the distance atop this wonderful civilization. 

Denny Pally are a duo from Glasgow who have been producing and making music for a while now. However, rarely do they let that material leak from the murky depths of the East End. Until now, a new EP for Infinite Wisdom, a fun jacked up affair which bumps in the club.

Based in São Paulo, the young but prolific Brazilian label In Their Feelings, managed by local heroes Davis and Zopelar, spares no effort when it comes to supporting young Latin talents. Featuring a collection of twenty tracks signed by a group of the continent’s most promising talents, bands, producers, and experiments, the imprint releases its new compilation, “Escape From São Paulo Vol. II”, with works from Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Mexico, and Chile. The compilation presents artists that not only helped to make visible the work of producers in the region but also transformed the local club music with their individuality and identity.

Besides the musical selection curated by Brazilian artist and one of the collective’s founders,  Davis, the names gathered in this year’s edition of "Escape From São Paulo" include a crew of rising female music producers, such as Brazilians KENYA20Hz, Diaz, Amanda Mussi, ACAPTCHA, and Frontinn, Paraguayan Victoria Mussi, and Chilean Kamila Govorcin. Also, tracks from Brazilian co-founder Zopelar and non-binary São Paulo-based artist White Prata.

We were kindly asked to premiere Kamila Govorcin’s beautiful contribution to the compilation. The legendary Chilean DJ decided to bring a mysterious and macabre breakbeat theme to the party. A track that transported us into our early rave days in the middle of the forest in the North of Brazil, more precisely in Belém, our hometown. But don’t be fooled: The menacing atmosphere of “55” does not steal its groove, and its intended mission of triggering only good feelings is successfully accomplished. 

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://intheirfeelings.bandcamp.com/

Follow @kamila-govorcind & @intheirfeelings, peeps!

Escaped Records returns with it's first digital release "So Many Memories'. This EP centers on an original track by Romain FX, founder of Hong Kong's Fauve Radio, that lays out catchy vocals over bright piano chords that combine for an uplifting early 90's nostalgia. Berlin duo Ca$hminus composed of Gratts from Belgium, and Eluize from Australia, strip the track leaving us with raw covered vocals mashed with analogue style beats and an overall grit that makes you want to move. Transmuted once more, Reba from France, shifts the sunny original to a heavy trance revival packing it with high energy, it's dancefloor ready.  

An Ep as varied as the producers who created it. From Asia to Europe and back again, from feel good house to trance, Escaped Records is here to help you create memories.

Ca$hminus' delivers a raw and tender cover version of the Romain FX original. Not using any of the original parts but re-recording everything  (synths, drums, vocals) themselves, the Belgo-Australiana duo take he track into completely different territory.
