Spirit of the Waves

As excitement builds for this year's Convenanza Festival, the event curated by Bernie Fabre and Andrew Weatherall, Höga Nord get set to release a compilation celebrating the artists performing at this years . Among the performers are Komodo Kolektif.  Having been featured on Weatherall's NTS show Music's not for Everyone the Glasgow collective are heading out to Carcasonne to woo the crowds with their unique brand of Cosmic live instrumentation and no doubt the centrepiece will be Daratan Ceremony, a track which straddles the line between Etnofunk and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Tabla sounding drums underpin distorted wind chimes, growling thick bass in a track which in another dimension would be the theme for a warped wildlife documentary series about humans, no doubt being watched by ants or some other dominant technologically advanced species.  Members of the band have released solo on Optimo and Invisible, Inc. and along with several other sometime members have melded live instrumentation with machinery musically in the same way that body horror director David Kronenburg has on film.
Höga Nord's association with Andrew Weatherall continues to be fruitful with this fantastic sampler heading into the weirder and slightly more Cosmic edges of electronic music.

The Lyon based crew is pleased to introduce their first release with Notte Brigante's duo member and Kump artist: HLM38.

« House of the Sun EP » is focused on the weird and esoteric dub style of Julien Viallet's work. It explores the relationships between his love for dub music and contemporary « dancefloor » sound. It's a winding path through electro, exotica, industrial music and middle east flavors.

Future Nuggets’ s bosses label, Delusion Men, are serving a trippy first remix showcasing their ability within studio experimentations resulting in a real psychedelic curiosity.

Finally, local head, Pilah from « Dub Addict Sound System » hits hard with his more traditional dub style remix. Master at the control, skank genius for twenty years, Paul Kosmik knows how to make it heavy and deadly!

300 copies.

Nose Job 2019 - NJ#002 7" https://nosejob.bandcamp.com/album/ok-nda-sk-l-ensamma-stunder

The second NJ is from Malmö's @prinsemanuel [Fasaan, Fri Form], geezer and master of many trades. First up is the wonky, rugged flanger jam Okända Skäl (Reasons Unknown) then comes the spesh slow burner Ensamma Stunder (Lonely Moments). This doozy of a 7" is very much about his place of birth in Skåne. With the art inspired by a cave painting and a megalithic monument from the iron age close to his mum's house. Life goes in circles…

Recorded and produced by Emanuel Sundin

NJ#002 Prins Emanuel - Ensamma Stunder

Tribes 1.1’ by Weird Dust is the third release by Brussels-based label and vinyl purveyor Crevette Records. The six tracks reflect an eclectic taste in hardware, melding organic and heavily processed sounds into a sort of musical retro-futurism. The percussion distinguishes itself, simultaneously free-form and mathematical, and certain to make you dance. Up close, ‘Tribes’ gestures at something alien, like going back to the jungle, but on another planet. This is what the future was like; notice the weird dust all around you.

Very first appearance of Nadia D’Alò on vinyl (also half of INIT alongside label honcho Benedikt Frey), this misty first extract is part of a 2 tracks EP. Second release after the Keys album (aka BF & Chris Cox), RIO really seem to be one of the label to keep in mind for the future.

A3. Anklepants - Pollen

Pletnev - Marco O'Polo

Pink fog rises amidst the hills; dew covers all in silver paint glittering in the background. layers covering layers of low clouds, fog and haze.
Shimmering city lights. Silhouettes of figures sitting in the hills, hanging in bridges, on top of houses, looking upon, observing city drive from up high as if it was a meditating bonfire. A notion of something going to happen. But all that remains is a glimpse of pink fog hanging static in the air.

Risks Issues Opportunities, the third release from Berlin based R.I.O. label, brings together a collection of electronic wave music from six different performers with one common ground: their mysterious & slightly melancholic aesthetics.

Pre order

PRÈMIÉRE: Nadia D'Alò - Koller [R.i.O]

The bar was crowded and noisy, a constant thrashing of sound that made it hard to hear your own thoughts. The men of the town came to drink here every night; they would tell tales of the days events and brag to one another about their various accolades. As the night went on, the men's arrogance grew, fuelled by multiple scotches and tankards of bitter. When the clock struck 12, the door swung open and a woman clad in black confidently made her way to the bar. All eyes were on her as she moved through the room. She cast a glare to either side and the men sheepishly looked away. She was fierce, nobody here would dare to challenge her. Everybody was afraid of her and that's exactly the way she liked it...

For the second release on her and friend Umut's label Müstesna, Ece Özel has rounded up both local Turkish producers and overseas friends to feature on their forthcoming compilation sheLter. Over 25 artists have contributed to the VA release, including international friends like Beesmunt Soundsystem, Alessandro Adriani, Mr TC and Tolouse Low Trax, as well as native artists like Mehmet Aslan, Emre Can Swim and Erdnik Ol. The impetus behind this compilation is to provide financial support and create national and international awareness of trans murders and trans suicides in Turkey, where the murder rate is the highest in Europe. All proceeds will be given to “Eylül Cansın Trans Guest House" - a place founded by the Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association - and will help provide support and generate income for the guest home to find a new home and keep the establishment going.

PREMIERE: Heap & Bocksrucker - Fierce [Müstesna]
