In my youth, the process of listening to music was a much more active one. I would close all of my blinds, turn my lights off, turn my music on through the speakers, lay in my bed and stare at the ceiling. My mind would turn right and left, and I would slither through all of my thoughts as if I was in a sensory deprivation tank. Sometimes I would border on the edges of sleep, teetering between REM and wakefulness, at other times, I would let myself fall into those dreams influenced by the music… and what dreams they were.

Khun Fluff’s 'Vinyan (Full Circle’s Lost In Translation Remix)' is a welcome reminder of the importance of active listening and music-fuelled meditation. A trance-inducing take on the original—which was released as part of EP of Siamese Twins Records' Vinyan V.A (ST๐๐๒) cassette last year—Full Circle’s remix begins with breathy pads and floating vocals that pan across the space, joined by harmonies and repetitions that invite transcendental movement. The space becomes more full and expansive before an acid synth-line takes over, met with sonic artefacts akin to otherworldly objects finding their home on earth. At last, a kick drum takes over, turning the ethereal groove into a trance-tinged number perfect for any 5am dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Khun Fluff - Vinyan (Full Circle's Lost In Translation Remix) [Siamese Twins Records]

La Rama Records is proud to present four fresh feelers from our friend Bunzinelli. These tracks have weathered the storm of no-fun to provide joy and elation for the living to come... psychedelic feelings to help it all fall back in to place. Bunzinelli has been personally involved in serving sonic treats to the world via his label and mix series Chambre Noire. He was also part of the team behind Cosmic Tones which in 2019 released 'Montreal Pleiades' featuring his first musical outing alongside local major players Priori, Dust-e-1, URA, Temple's M. Salaciak & R. Weng (the wizard behind our first release as Dj Medallion).

You can trust in this one, to be shared far and wide.

Bunzinelli - Godspeed (La Rama Records) LARAMA002

People spilled out of the building and onto the streets, muttering under their breaths at the chaos that had just ensued inside. What had promised to be a night of good-mannered frivolity and celebration had turned into an utter shambles; the crisis management that would soon follow would be excruciating for those clearing up the mess. It was certainly a night many would not forget in a hurry, and for those involved, hopefully the ground would swallow them up before they had to face the music.

A new year calls for a new challenge. Prague-based DJ and producer Exhausted Modern takes a break from running Endless Illusion and OMO to team up with several friends for a new label pursuit. LTE's mission is to give a platform to local and foreign artists who are operating in all corners of the contemporary electronic music spectrum; a place for artists who want to experiment and try new things. For their first release they welcome six artists from across the globe, including MR TC, Mayo & Ethno Service, for a VA titled Long Term Evolution, that celebrates the music they love and sonic directions for the future.

PREMIERE: MR TC - Drome [LTE]

PREMIERE: Far East Flight - Sakura (Anatolian Weapons Acid Mix) [Electric Shapes]

Humans have to drink! They went down to the pond to quench their thirst. Sipping from the cool wet while being on all fours, they saw the reflection of their own faces for the first time. This must have been the beginning of the ongoing struggle of mankind dealing withself-consciousness. Anna and Ole (Das A&O) also met at the water point and much like the myth of the first human couple “Adam and Eve” they ate too much poisoned apples but instead of getting obsessed with one’s ego, they wrote somebeautiful Synth Wave music together! Immortalized on a seven-inch piece of wax, the results are now available on Rat Life Records.

The Debut “Cobra EP” comes from a new production project “Mogambo” a collaborative brainchild of Sunju Hargun and multi-instrumentalist Jerom Doudet. Both located in Thailand and bounded by a shared love of acid electronica, Bollywood movies and big psychedelic gongs.

Delving deep into a highly personal and unique sound cosmos this album covers a wide range of sound textures. Featuring trippy jungle grooves, mesmerizing tribal percussion, countless eccentric effect pedals and hints to 90’s Goa. The EP ranges from spacey Asian soundscapes, sweaty basement afterhours journeys to slow burning hypnotizing grooves slithering as a Cobra.

Matum (राजा) - Moody and eccentric groove with a hypnotizing twist for the wee hours. Mysteriously tapping the brain into a wide range of protonic sound textures.
