Elephant [Paradise Palms]

Curated by none other than future Lithuania’s President and Vice-President, Roe Deers (SXDNS138) and Titas Motuzas, Good Skills presents its brand-new VA release: “Sekta”, a five-track EP devoted to showcasing the finest of what the country has to offer when it comes to underground electronic music. Shurmin Nikita, Zakmina feat. EGOMAŠINA, Deserted Island, Shkema, and Bojarchük spared no efforts to deliver high-quality themes to the compilation by presenting their own characteristic sonorities that resulted in a rich tapestry of inventiveness and ingenuity – exactly what the label has envisioned since its foundation in 2019.

The track we were solicited to premiere comes from the uneasy mind of “weird producer and weird DJ” Shkema, whose most notable previous works can be found on NEIN Records, City Noises, and Good Skills itself.

For his contribution to the VA, he created “Vaikų Ligoninė” (meaning “Children's Hospital” in English); “Shkema at his best”, according to the PR text: Ghostly vocals, pitched drums, and an unpredictable flow tells another weird story from a parallel universe – his.

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

Follow @shkema and @goodskills, peeps!

"… an A Love From Outer Space secret weapon finally goes public …“ - Sean Johnston - Hardway Bros

Robi Insinna aka Headman's Relish Recordings continues to forge in the past and brings you a collection of classic tracks reworked for today: Relish EP V including Unknown Cases, Units Dub by Headman, Gina X Red Axes version and Headman's original 2003 Dub.

First up is Headman's version of Masimbabele by The Unknown Cases.
The original track has been performed and recorded 25 years ago and was originally released as a 12" single by RoughTrade. Members were Cologne musicians Helmut Zerlett and Stefan Krachten (disciples and regular collaborators of the CAN musicians) and legendary African percussionist REEBOP KWAKU BAAH and it has actually been mixed at CAN STUDIO in Cologne.

Masimbabele was originally regarded as "a modern form of rhythm'n'blues" in the original 1983 Rough Trade promotion info – since nobody involved had heard anything like that before....no surprise it became one of John Peel's favourite records of the early 80s and one of his most played singles in 1983. it became since an Afrobeat classic! it was also Remixed by Adrian Sherwood in 1989 for RoughTrade.

As second track on the EP is Headman's unreleased High Pressure Days Dub by The Units. In 2009 the Original was release digital and on Vinyl via Relish with a remixes by Rory Phillips and Headman.

The Units were a cornerstone of this unofficial movement, later called “synth punk” and which would come to define a greater west coast DIY culture combining new synthetic sounds, ranging from Nervous Gender, Screamers and Monitor, to The Blackouts. High Pressure Days is a testament to the loneliness and urgency of the times, and one of synthpunkʼs greatest anthems while at the same time becoming a dancefloor classic among djʼs like Danielle Baldelli.

Next up is the Red Axes remix of their all time favorite track No G.D.X. by Gina X. They say it was something very special for them, as the track means a lot to them. Headman's 2003 Dub is the final track on the EP and it was released originally by Hell's Gigolo Records.

Released in autumn 1979, No G.D.M. slowly took hold with disparate audiences worldwide, and remains a classic to this day.
Sometimes the man-machine is a woman... or is it? It's hard to tell in the twilight world of Gina X Performance — the collaboration of singer/lyricist Gina Kikoine and producer/multi-instrumentalist Zeus B. Held—confounded the norms. Their songs blur genders and sexual preferences; rouge covers stubble and women morph into men.

No G.D.M. became a staple of Rusty Egan's playlist at Blitz, the epicentre of London's fashionable nightclub scene. Groundbreaking in its choice of sounds, subject matter and visual presentation, Gina X Performance anticipated the better- known achievements of countless peers: the sleazy electro-noir of Soft Cell; the androgynous stance of Annie Lennox and Grace Jones & Laurie Anderson's marriage of electronic pop with performance art. The entire "electroclash" movement at the turn of the 21st century owed a debt to GXP with Miss Kittin & The Hacker topping the list and it also anticipated the UK synthpop boom of Human League and Depeche Mode by a couple of years...

Move To The Beat (Edit)

Charlie - Spacer Woman (Club Bizarre Edit) - 16b44k - Mastered At The Wall (1)

Marching across the plains, they moved with pride and precision amidst the outback which was perilous for such magnificent creatures. They had become used to the trials and tribulations of the country, yet as the rain fell and the trotted onwards across the vast expanse of ashy green and brown they could not help but fear the worst. Each elephant was hot property and very much in demand. Cars hot tailed them along dusty desert roads and rocky paths whilst hunters watched on with an evil eye. They were each as twisted as the next and deserved the same feat. 

Eyes of Others is set to release a new EP via Edinburgh based record label Paradise Palms, an off centre, eclectic electronic focussed label which continues to grow. The EP is rounded off by a remix from Manfredas, a firm favourite.

PREMIERE: Eyes Of Others - Elephant (Manfredas Opium Mix) [Paradise Palms]

A year ago Eyes Of Others had his 'I See You In The Shrubs' track remixed and dubbed by the late and very great Andrew Weatherall.
Since then he's been working on various projects plus this new single, Elephant - this time with a remix by Opium club legend Manfredas.
His work has previously been described as 'post-pub couldn’t get in the club music'. Elephant is more direct and has definitely gained entry to the club, hung his coat up and bought another drink. Eyes of Others retains his signature lazy woozy vocal style which is propelled through the track alongside a droning bass and hypnotic percussion that keeps the feet moving throughout. 2 mixes record out April 3rd, buy here: https://paradisepalmsrecords.bandcamp.com/
