TAPAN - Good Times

B1] Stijn Sadée - Satin [Manfredas remix]

As he walked through the long grass he made sure to pay special attention to the peace and quiet which hung prominently in the air. There was not one sound to be heard in the park, all of the people had gone home for the day and now he was blessed with the opportunity to walk in solitude between the tall trees and the shadowy groves. He took in the nuances of the environment, the small things and the beauty of the individual flowers and greenery amidst what was a celebration for the senses. This was paradise. 

Invisible Inc. will be celebrating five years this May, a wonderful feat for a small label which has punched well above its weight having released some truly stunning music in recent times. The next release on the label is a celebration of the clubbier side of the imprint, this track is from Puma & the Dolphin, a slow moving textured affair for the discerning dancer.

Right in the middle of Kubebe's FM jungle, we found a river full of pure love juice. After busy nights getting high following Sakamoto and Kitano tracks, the french ginger musician, producer and Dj is now giving back his best floating times on reggae backyards. Here are the flowers. Feel free to feed them with moonlight, souvenirs and dreams.

PRÉMIÈRE: Kubebe - Haria (Thomas Von Party's Collapsing Lifestyle Remix) [Calypso Records]

Just as glaciers heave towards their destiny in slow time, the ship entered the harbour. It’s countless thousands of tons gently docked, and its microbial passengers transmitted onto land. There it waited in silent gravity, expressing weight and weightlessness in one floating gesture. Can we truly fathom the scales of this leviathan?

If Strktur’s first three releases were made for the main room, then his latest album would surely soundtrack the dark room. He leaves behind the grandiosity of his early techno productions to discover a cosmopolitan coldwave swagger on Hors Série, his first LP. Sitting moodily amongst nine other superb tracks of ice-cool electro, 'Le Quai d'en Face' is a leanly arranged cut of austere synth-pop that eschews complexity in favour of a cut-throat groove. Importantly, he cuts ties with Nashton Records, Trau Mar and Airsound Records to self-release the LP on his own Bandcamp, structuring a new identity.

PREMIERE - ALF CHAMPION - Non est Rediens (Ombra INTL)

Three years in the making only to be held up almost another year due to COVID and now finally seeing the light of day, is this brooding monster of a record by Brussels based Strapontin, aka multi-disciplinary artist Patrick Belmont.

Clocking in at over 35-minutes the record is almost album length and spans a multitude of depths and moods with elements of techno, new wave, rock 'n' roll, house and tribal…...all glued together with a uniquely sleazy atmosphere.

Add to this a heads-down-no-nonsense darkroom beast of a remix by techno maestro Sascha Funke and the package is complete.

Strapontin provides us with some insight:
“It started with a desire to move away a bit from my 'dancefloor' side and go into more undefined fields, I wanted to work with blurry sensations that I can't understand. I like mixed feelings. Dramatex 300 is made of that ambivalent mood. The voice is saying 'I'm feeling empty' and 'I'm feeling healthy' at the same time. I like that paradox. Eunuque is a song but is also a character I will develop in a short movie (which will act as the 'music video' of the song). The Eunuque is a character full of anger yet he doesn't want to fight nor has he a target to aim at. A restrained aggressivity is boiling inside him/it that has no opportunity to escape from the body and gain release. The song is the fever he feels from these inner battles. I think Le Bain d'Huile and Anti-sceptical have the same slow and angry feeling. I'm proud of these tracks because they are a bit mysterious to me and it feels like they controlled me more than I controlled them.”

This Album, a child of the Shelter Me Festival in December 2020, is in Aid of Shelter UK and the
wonderful work they do to helping people with homelessness or difficult housing conditions.
The Festival took place over 3 days, across the 3 cities of Manchester, London and Leeds, and
several of the artists who performed live at the event have contributed to this production too.
The track used for the project is entitled Shake Up Your Mind by Steady State which contains a
vocal sample of Ofra Haza from her song entitled Im Nin Alu. All remixes were created with the
greatest love and respect, with one common goal, to help others less fortunate than ourselves
through music, unity and genuine will to make a positive change.
Each and every one of the artists, producers and mastering services have generously given their
time freely to create a unique album of 21 remixes, spanning a colourful musical spectrum from
Dense Dark Dubbiness, through Timeless Techno and Uplifting Acid, to Squelchy Squalid
Chuggers.
This is a limited release set for 05.03.21 with all proceeds going the Shelter Uk.
All of us at Shelter Me would like to thank everyone who has helped, supported and contributed
along the way.

Big love,
Ed Tomlinson, Ells Bells, John Paynter, Julie-Ann Smith & Stephen Molyneux
