Representatives of Kyiv’s downtempo wave, Kostya Kottov and Techija, have long been probing the ground for launching their own label. The starting point was their joint promoter POVILNO, under the banner of which they’ve been running events for the past few years. Staking on eclecticism and musical diversity, they’re ready to present the first compilation of the newly minted imprint – a collection of slow-burning tracks inspired by the power of organic elements and psychedelic experimentation from artists around the world, including duo Stevie R and Parisinos, Roe Deers, Dan Bay, Colossio, LEONOR and ID_UA.

The compilation opener “Information Society” sees the massive bass lines of UK label bosses Inside Out, Stevie R and Parisinos, their sense of drama and epicism meet the chilling vocals from 70s videos about information overload. The result is a slow but weighty track for early dancefloors and late night hangouts. “People Know” from label mate, Ukrainian producer ID_UA, is a psychedelic stroll under a palm-crossed sky. A tight groove with tantalising synths and a splash of trippy guitar parts. The mood is picked up by the Mexican Colossio with the exceptional diamond collection “Shofar”, a perfect dancefloor piece where guitar and brass sounds intertwine to leave a mark, a constant intrigue and a mysterious atmosphere that hypnotizes you and keeps you moving.

At the helm of the B-side is Lithuanian nightlife powerhouse Roe Deers with “Monotony Killed Dinosaurs”: soft breaks and a tight beat laden with shifting percussion immerse you in the nighttime jungle. “The Darkside of Orgánica” by Frankfurt-based musician Dan Bay is a fusion of the tranquility of nature and a sense of danceable energy; a track that hangs on to raw and dynamic beats and a winding lead, providing a pulsating, hypnotic immersion. Closing the rotation is Guadalajara-based producer Leonor’s ‘RWandaS Bells’, which blends influences of folk music and primal rhythm with a special dub flavour. Close your eyes and embark on a fascinating journey to complete this compilation.

Tracklist: 

A1 Stevie R _ Parisinos - Information Society 
А2 ID_UA-People Know 
A3 Colossio -Shofar

Monotony Killed Dinosaurs

PREMIERE: Roe Deers - Monotony Killed Dinosaurs [Povilno Records]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/cyberlife-music
Track: Galactic Stabs Brotherhood Dub
Label: https://soundcloud.com/syrinx_music
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, VA
Release date: 09/03/22

A year and a half after its first release, Pilote, Syrinx Music is back with another V/A release, Ballast. Meanwhile, Syrinx set various events up in the Paris area, and took great care of this new EP. Just as the device it takes its name from, Ballast aims to find a balance in contrast, in line with Syrinx’s aesthetics: an open vision of electronic music, linking both club & experimental dimensions.
On Ballast, this contrast goes with the idea of duality. The A Side of the vinyl (pressed as a dubplate in a very limited edition) gathers three artists of the most adventurous side of the French bass scene. Cyberlife kicks things up with an atmospheric and aerial breakbeat track.

The Utilities - Task One (Age of Self)

Mogambo land on the ever-impressive Siamese Twins Records. Consisting of producer Sunju Hargun and multi-instrumentalist Jerom Doudet, the Mogambo duo bring a heady, hypnotic sound from the many enigmatic strands of Asia’s musical cultures: the deep traditional instrumentations of Siam and India, the high-tech edge of modern Bangkok, and the rich Goan bloodline of trance. Following their sought-after debut 12” Cobra (कोबरा) on their own Siamese Twins Records, they now return with "Urvi (उर्वी)" - a 4-track all original package featuring meditative sonic explorations to fearless entrancing rhythms and basslines, tangled together from the mysterious East.

Premiere: Mogambo - Piya (पिया) [Siamese Twins]

Timing was tricky, that much was true and could be forgiven. As he stood in the empty hall he looked around him at the stacked seating and the flickering lights which beamed down from a vast metal framework up above. Soon this place would be crowded and busy with people and onlookers. Those who had come to observe the performance were counting on him to get this right…

He rest himself in his position upon the stage, listened to the music as it bounced and rebounded between the walls and began to move. Every beat was counted in his head:

“One, two… One, two… One, two…”

That was all there as to it, for it had to be.
 
Jun Kamoda’s Jun Records is set to release a new EP from Rafael Cohen, best known for his work as a bassist with !!! (Chk Chk Chk).

As Los Latidos he focusses his attention towards the dancefloor, blurring disco infused grooves with elements of dub and balearic. This one is destined to delight in the clubs and on the festival circuits, you have been warned.

The New York Times’ Jon Caramanica once quipped, “It’s never not 1995 in Lushlife’s life.” Sure, you’re instantly be transported to the golden era when you hear dude spit his deep-in-the-pocket syncopated flows. But, in a broader sense, his entire universe - one where genres melt into one another and experimental production is somehow masked with a radio-ready pop sheen - is informed by the adventurous world of independent music in 1995.

By the late ‘90s, Lush was already spending hours daily behind the turntables and multitrack recorder, drawing inspiration from a variety of artists across contemporaneous labels like Mo’ Wax, Grand Royal, 4AD, Warp Records and more.

Back when he was still zeroing in on his unique sound, bouncing between the MPC prog-funk of DJ Shadow, late-nineties chillout, and Cornelius-inspired exotica, he probably couldn’t have imagined he'd be touring with Mo’ Wax stalwarts, Blackalicious in 2016. To celebrate how far he’s come, Western Vinyl presents Lushlife’s New Dead Languages EP, an earnest homage to the golden days of instrumental hip-hop and psychedelic beat music that hugely informed the sonic breadth of his work.

Catch him on tour this fall, including the following dates (*) with ‘90s indie rap heroes, Blackalicious: 

09/24 - Boot & Saddle - Philadelphia, PA
09/27 - Turf Club - St. Paul, MN*
09/28 - Gabe’s - Iowa City, IA*

Lemin - Just One Thing [FREE DL]

Belfast's own Bobby Analog is building up a solid stack of releases on his Body Fusion imprint, with the third installment delivering more disco-tinged house anthems.

Here Mixmag premieres 'Dr In The House', a track that seems to embody the more energetic and party-starting side to Bobby Analog's sound profile. A shimmering melody, funky guitar riff and sensual vocal hook are layered over a jacking house beat making this a peak-time floor filler. Don't sleep in this one.

'BF003' is set for release April 1.

The hypothesis of God gives an incomparably absolute opportunity to understand everything and know absolutely nothing. Give man an extremely simplified system of the world and explain every phenomenon away on the basis of that system. An approach like that doesn't require any knowledge. Just a few memorized formulas plus so-called intuition and so-called common sense.
One of these formulas seems to be perfectly understood by Luca Venezia AKA Curses who once again (tenth time in a row)shows his eclectic taste , presenting fantastic collection of artists, this time uniting France, Germany and Mexico.
Our pick up is the Salon Zur Wilden Renate's man himself, Berlin based producer, dj and promoter - Sebastian Voigt with EX2 composition - remarkable psychedelic, keeping in constant tension track, composed of a paranoid pulsated bass line, a torn rhythm, anxious synths and vocals which all together sounds like soundtrack to the devilish rail-trains race somewhere on Mars .  12" out September 6th.

This multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ from Guadalajara, México has shown his musical background with a melody that turns into an anthem as the track proceeds to formulate its story that is driven by its simple but powerful bassline.
