PREMIERE: Cvd - Mr Fuego [Menace]

CHO AND THE RANDOM IMPETUS is a New York based multi piece band. Collaborating with local musicians and recording with analog equipment, CHO AND THE RANDOM IMPETUS utilizes jazz, funk, soul and disco melodies to create rich 1970s esque sounds.

The debut single from New York based CHO AND RANDOM IMPETUS. The A-side is reminiscent of 70's disco with its percussion, conga, and bass combinations. The flip "CANDELIGHT" is a modern funk groover with its strong horn harmonies and funky male vocals.

Some Echoes

𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗖𝗘 ‘𝟱’ is a compilation featuring artists with which the label has worked these past five years and hopes to keep building with in the future. Featuring DJ Mitsu the Beats, Antoine Berjeaut, Underground Canopy, Hugo LX and many others.

As a composer, a trumpet player and a producer originated from the Paris Superior Conservatory of Jazz Music, Antoine Berjeaut drifts between Jazz, World music and new Electronic Soundscapes, developing a great polyvalency.

At the time of the MENACE "5" release, a compilation to celebrate the five years of the label, it is important for me to express my thanks to all the artists involved in this adventure as well as all the people who participated in the creation and development of the label - most of them since day one. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet, and to continue meeting, so many talented and generous souls from around the world. I am looking forward to carrying on with you, my friends, and to keep producing quality projects and good music. As well as continuing to travel with you, to the sessions, rehearsals, dinners and to the meetings.
Culture is resistance.
Mido.

PRÉMIÈRE: Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge - Maske [Bureau B]

Thunderous steps echoed through the streets, creating a sinister cacophony of sounds that reverberated of the city walls. Lines of armoured men marched in unison, there army stretching far across the hills and beyond the distance. Their destination was of no importance, it was the journey that would mattered, and the challenges they'd have to contend with along the way.

After releasing several EPs under the moniker Fabian Kash, Swede producer Leo af Ekenstam makes his debut under his own name for Madrid-based imprint Play Pal Music, which is set for release on 13th November. Alongside Ekenstam's two original tracks that marry pulsing rhythms, psychedelic synth lines and sinister melodies, the label have enlisted the skills of several artists to put their own spin on both tracks, including Eliezer, Cornelius Doctor, Local Suicide alongside Time to Sleep and Motel77.

PREMIERE: Leo af Ekenstam - March [Play Pal Music]

We are delighted to welcome Swedish techno and deep house extraordinaire Dorisburg to the Phonica label family! 

Alexander Burg has had a rock-solid string of top-class releases on labels like Hivern Discs, Aniara and Northern Electronics in recent years, and his brand new EP ‘House Organ For The Lonely’ is certainly no exception to the rule. 

Comprised of three slow-building and ominous techno masterpieces - each set upon a bed of delicate synth-lines, off-kilter percussion work and whirring electronics. Perfect for those after-hours moments. 
Vinyl out now! You can also grab it digitally from all of your favourite sources (Spotify, Bandcamp, Beatport, Juno Download etc). Links below. Enjoy! 🙌

Much like the lone ray of sunshine finding its way to your window on an overcast day to brighten the mood, Timothy Crombie a.k.a. A Psychic Yes’ forthcoming release, "That Swamp Feeling" on Schloss Records has had quite the same effect. With prior releases on Kalahari Oyster Cult and Tech Startup, the British producer is growing and perking ears up around the scene. 

"H Unsolved" is our pick of the litter for today’s premiere. With musings of K-Lone's Wisdom Teeth label dancing around our respective heads, it’s hard to pass up on this style of music. The snares, melodies, and drums all jumping in and out of focus seemingly at random but maybe not?! As if each musical element is a precise brush stroke that contributes to a larger coherent musical picture.

"H Unsolved", and the rest of That Swamp Feeling EP will be out on the 6th of November, and we highly suggest listening through.

PREMIERE: A Psychic Yes - H Unsolved [Schloss Records]

Amongst the layers of sheets, she buried her head deep into the folds, hiding away from the world. Her bed had become an unhealthy sanctuary; a place for eating, sleeping and working. The outside filled her with dread, the thought of interaction with another forcing her chest to tighten and her breath to shorten. She willed the tears back into her ears, afraid to show how defeated she'd become, but she needed to accept the help that she'd spent so long ignoring.

Greek artist Penelope's Fiancé follows a string of tape releases on the likes of Clan Destine Records and Live Adult Entertainment, with a vinyl debut on Hypermedium. The Cutting Edge Of A Knife fuses the sounds he's become known for across his previous releases; a fuzzy blend of post-industrial, lo-fi and techno, and merges frantic percussion with ghostly, eerie atmospheres and thunderous bass lines.  

Penelope’s Fiancé 'The Cutting Edge Of The Knife’ will be followed on Hypermedium by Yara 'Eyeless / Loss' EP, out December 11th & Ice_Eyes ‘Vicious Circles’ due out February 19th.

Artist: Señora
Track: Un Único Barco
Format: 12" Vinyl,  Digital
Label: Lurid Music
Release date: 11/11/20
Purchase: https://luridmusic.bandcamp.com/album/f-sil

US based label, Lurid welcomes Spanish producer Señora for a stunning new double gatefold album entitled ‘Fósil’ that showcases his unique take on hypnotic rhythm, found sounds and sampling. Señora became a firm favourite with the likes of Andrew Weatherall (R.I.P.) and Sean Johnston for his rugged grooves and innovative approach to production, melding the sounds of machines, animals, electricity and other weird noises in a flurry of FX and sonic experimentation. He debuted on this label in 2017 and has also landed on Shango Records, Night Noise and LNDKHN since then. Now based in Berlin and a regular at clubs and festivals round Europe he offers up a debut album that features nine stunning pieces that ”aim to reflect on the next evolutionary steps of the human race".
This is a hugely atmospheric album of perfectly realised inter planetary sounds, the whole thing taking you on a cerebral and evocative journey far away from here.

Coutout EP

Metropolitan Soul Museum - Derrière Le Miroir [LYR006]

In the limitless abyss of outer space there were strange shapes and objects which floated against the dense black backdrop. These were realms unknown and as they travelled towards the bright lights in the distance they each knew that there was no going back. The night was young and soon all that they had ever known would be left far behind, this was the point of no return. 

MENACE is celebrating five years in business, split between Paris and Tokyo the label has released a prominent array of music across a broad spectrum of styles. They are celebrating their five year anniversary with the release of a new compilation which is out on the 4th of December and features music from the likes of Hugo LX, Dj Mitsu the Beats, Kidkanevil and many others. This track opens the release courtesy of Lex (De Kalhex).
