Nusirenk

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.

Hot on the heels of their celebrated album Beach Goths and after offering-up Paratrooper as part of DJ Tennis’ recent DJ-Kicks, Israeli genre-defying duo Red Axes arrive on Life and Death with an original EP.

Sami is a post-Moondog shamanic tribal trip, while Round combines dilapidated future Goa electronics with just the right amount of cowbell and guitar psych. Vego Gam is lo-fi Spaghetti Western, full of tape delay and amplifier sauce, while Pulse waves and wind chimes ring Russian bells on the title track, Kalacol - a mind-melding dancefloor gem.

A record that could only come from Niv and Dori - another reconfiguration of the Life and Death mausoleum.

Artist: Iro Aka
Track: Olafon
Format: 12" Vinyl
Label: Elephant Gait Music
Release date: 16/11/2020
Purchase: https://elephantgaitmusic.bandcamp.com/album/iro-aka-futur

The Futurists rejected tradition and introduced experimental sounds and this fact, that influenced a lot of composers during the 20th century, helped them to build a concept that started the career of Barcelona based duo Iro Aka. The evolution of their music started with this EP, fluctuating through psychedelic and esoteric influences, taking as its main references the continuous technological evolution and those new techniques to make electronic music. “Futur” is an extract of the first ideas of Iro Aka. They started the project at the beginning of the 2017 and this EP was produced then, showing the abstraction that they felt at that moment, a path drawn by different sounds that came from different people and different places.
Tapan leaves their mark on Zukunft with reimagining the original as a slowly building, tribal inspired and almost sitting in an alternative timeline. Clever use of percussive elements does not take away from the track being playable in the club.
The slightly psychedelic dance floor experience is delivered by Anatolian Weapons. Pulsating rhythms intertwine with classic drum sounds and paint a mood almost contradicting the vocals of the track. Perfect secret track for any dance-floor.

Info:
Hypnotic Discotheque is a Jerusalem based DIY party night and rave crew, an artist collective and a network of DJ’s that share a common vision, in and outside of troubled Jerusalem. 
This V/A compilation is the collective’s second release following last year's WFTG VOL 1 that featured original tracks from the crew’s founding members.  

Featuring on Working for the Government VOL 2 are key figures and close relatives of the Hypnotic family. 
This compilation represents Hypnotic’s wide and diverse musical and cultural identity - bringing together noise-heads, clubers, nature dewllers and outsiders. 

The premiered track Safra Raving Krew is a playful and dynamic banger by Tel Aviv's rising star and Tofistock’s main man Olsvangér.  The tune tries to capture some of those late and strange morning moments that makes Hypnotic discotheque's dancefloors so fragile yet perfect.
