PREMIERE: Jan Janssen - Le Tedey [Barbecue]

Bertil Mark says it all: Too Distant How much do we miss the happiness on the dance floor !? This "Anything goes" - the digressing to be closer to yourself - detached from the external circumstances that concern us in everyday life. This just being happy not listening to the music but to listen to yourself with the music: That's what Bertil Mark creates. Too Distant is the desire to be close and yet shows us: we are alone together. PNN has decided at a time when a lot is breaking down - others are waiting for the crisis to end - to continue where it was lost some time ago - especially in this uncertain time to start again with the simple claim: "What does the world cost? - lets go!" Even when there are no raves, parties or festivals - listen to the music and live the dream. You are not alone!

Too Distant

PREMIERE : Bertil Mark - Too Distant (Popnoname Remix)

"Out with the old and in with the new" - that's what they always say. But it's never that easy in practice. The transition is always strange: it's a period of change, sometimes of destruction, definitely of adjustment. Morphing from one form slowly into the next, prompted by actions of your own doing, or someone elses. Things are going to be different and, unwilling or willing, you have to deal with it.

Having been immersed in music culture from a young age, becoming hooked on collecting records as well as training as a sound engineer, Italian DJ and producer David Agrella is now taking things up a notch with the launch of his new label, Agrellomatica Records. Named after his monthly radio show on Bloop, the imprint will be a space for his musical inspirations which bridge many different strains of electronic music. For his first outing he offers up a four tracker, 'Transition', which melds together fluid drum patterns, rubbery synth lines, soaring pads and dreamy electro grooves.

KING

Sunshine Life Emulator is the newest moniker of Hull-based producer Liam van Ryn. Previously releasing music under a number of different guises over the last six years, now he's focusing attention on the slower, introspective side of his productions, which came to fruition at the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020.

Some of these early creations form the basis of his first solo LP, Hatch Dream, a collection of ambient and IDM-influenced music that is blurs the lines between uplifting and pensive.

Themed around the idea of memory and how these transform and fade over time, the release uses old recordings and shapes them in new ways to "fill in the gaps" of what once was there. Liam mirrors this with the artwork and accompanying visuals by using old family photos that have been degraded in water as well as stop motion film and macro photography.

To commemorate the release, we asked him to take care of your Monday soundtrack with a mix of music to help you daydream the day away...

Another Round

Finding My Way Back

Blue Shadow welcomes rising star producer Omri Smadar to the family, with his 5 track stunning debut EP "En Safek".

Smadar dives deep into his own upbringing, delivering a unique psychedelic dancefloor interpretations to his childhood heroes, Tel Aviv's Indie Rock staples Fortis & Tractor's Revenge.

"En Safek She" (There's No Doubt That) alludes to the apocalyptic "Sunrise Falling" by local legend Fortis. Back in 1988, the Israeli punk pioneer wrote about the Hiroshima bombing, describing a happy world disrupted by a mushroom-shaped cloud. Omri's production stays crucial with the original sense of urgency, repeating the Hebrew chorus lyrics which act as a deadly double entendre.

"Dmaot" (Tears) is based on "Game Of Tears", by Tractor's Revenge. Omri's take pays tribute to the haunting signature song of the band from 1990, keeping the lyrics paced with his own psychedelic dark disco vision. Like the Fortis classic, Omri remarkably succeeding to maintain the surreal vibe of the original song, while elegantly adapting it to dancefloor territory.

Each En safek & Dmaot won a bonafide banger treatment with two stripped down dub versions, shaping them to suit any club voyage, while the latter also received a trippy atmosphere worthy remix by the talented Mexican born and Calypso label-boss Inigo Vontier.
