The Quadrasphere 017 - Truly Madly & Andy Green

We are very happy to bring you a new QUADRASPHERE mix, and this one is an instant classic! MINDHELMET label boss Truly Madly and VERDANT RECORDINGS head of operations Andy Green. 

2 of the finest selectors getting together on the turntables for a mix of some of the best vinyl we've heard in a long time, crafted to perfection! No tracklist on this one, some of these records are very rare! 

We present:
Truly Madly & Andy Green

A few words from Andy:
"We don't get the benefits of a regular rub down as we used to, but when it happens, it remains a bit of a treat. The chaos of the early discogs forums introduced us over 20 years ago but also because we shared a love of proper deep music and the high life. We've done some Estimulo Shows, SUNK parties (with Chris) and many lost all nighters together before trajectories diverged. This one was a recent Saturday night, just winging it whilst quaffing notable Italian Reds. Its mildly amusing to me (Andy) that this recording leans into Dub Techno, a genre for which Truly has peculiar aversion to… and yet we are left feeling for dubby chords, swirling delays, some elegiac melodies and our passion for the proper tunage......one more rider?"

Music from Ron, Sasha Dive, Schatrax, Anton Zap, P. Laoss, DEC, Deadbeat, Mindhelmet, Claro Intelecto, Jorge Zamacona, Scott Grooves, Shinichi Atobe & Norm Talley amongst others

The Quadrasphere 017 - Truly Madly & Andy Green

The elegance with which the sun rose was breathtaking. Some velvet morning it would turn out to be but little did they know of that as they watched the sky. Soon it would be time to leave the city and travel outwards into the great beyond, to a place in which the long grasses and the wild rivers ran between the country hills. The train would take several hours, huffing and puffing it would pass between the city walls leaving a trail of fog and dust in its midst...

Sonny is set to release a new four track EP on Koldt Bord, a new Copenhagen based record label with a forward thinking trajectory. Their first EP comes from a new Danish talent and caught our ears straight from the off.

PREMIERE: Sonny - Some Velvet Morning [Koldt Bord]

For a long time he had battled against his inner demons, debating with himself as to the validity of his work and the potential of perfection. Now, in his older years he had decided to let things go a little, keep things simple if you will. It was only by such behaviour that one might be able to attain a sense of peace within what they do, he had learnt this the hard way. Many years had been spent under toil and strain, his rallying thoughts repeating their disloyal noise amidst his ears. 

Dj Psychiatre is the next in a line of musicians to release on GASP Records, an imprint based out of Poland. The label has become to one to watch, bringing life to the local scene and allowing new artists a platform to express themselves.

PREMIERE: Dj Psychiatre - Keep Things Simple [GASP Records]

The room buzzed with activity and life, the roar of machines and the shouting of voices back and forth was enough to give anyone a headache. Each phone seemed to ring louder than the last as the calls came pouring in to the station one by one. Each operator was put in a perilous position, it was only the sound of their voice which might lead to a resolution to whatever tragedy had struck on the other end of the line. She observed the scene from the corner of the room with a nervous smile. 

Afriqua is set to release an EP on the much loved R&S Records this month. "Aleph" will be available from the 8th of December and features an enchanting assortment of percussion, melodic soundscapes and dreamy haze.

Aleph

PREMIERE: Afriqua - Opferator [R&S Records]

The boat cruised elegantly above the rolling waves as those on board laughed and danced beneath the summer sun. This was a glorious occasion, an aquatic voyage into the unknown which would take their breath away. Deep down in the murky depths beneath the pearly white base of the ship was a great expanse, unchartered territory which man had not yet conquered. Some even said that we knew less about the depths of the ocean than we did of the planets millions of miles away. Some said...

Neptune Records is set to release a new EP on the 8th of December. A melodic, enchanting trip through the aquatics guided by Algorythm. This one is a tip.

PREMIERE: Algorythm - Pearls [Neptune Records]

The house in the woods had always been surrounded by mysterious tales of wizardry and magic, the locals didn't dare venture into the trees. Billie was the only one to have ever seen the old man who lived inside the cabin, a dark and misty figure which some claimed was up to no good. He was the only one who knew the truth about his somewhat strange behaviour, for he was special. As night fell he would wander onced again into the forest to meet his friend, together they would sit aside the fire and dream of the great beyond. 

Jonattan Levingstone is set to release a new EP on the Canadian based record label Parages. He delivers a soulful, well balanced EP which comprises of delicate melodies and intricate percussion. House music at its best.

Billie EP

PREMIERE: Jonattan Levingstone - Billie [Parages]

The shadowy underbelly of the city was laced with criminals and bad things. It was her job to catch and claim them for her own, to collect their presence and hold on tight. The river which flowed through this great town was always a good place to start the hunt, on a Friday night her and her vigilante friends would walk along the cobbled riverbanks looking out for the usual tell tale signs of trouble. One day there would be no wrong ones left and all would be safe. 

Eindkrak is described as Amsterdam's worst kept secret... He is about to release his debut album on Unknown Precept, an intriguing proposition as the year draws to a close.

Brullend Staal
