Daveed's & Kazamayé - Maruma (Short Play)

There is a tendency to return to the essence, where melodies breathe with serene clarity and emotions flow weightlessly. Each sound unfolds like sunlight through silent glass, revealing beauty in restraint and grace in stillness. A farewell whispered in a simple way, but resonant with the light of everything learned along the way.

Brooklyn producer Kyle Louis returns to Working Rhythms with “See You / Be,” a new pair of tracks that capture the artist’s most reflective and raw aesthetic.

Like many musicians during the pandemic, Louis explored new sounds and ideas while locked down in his New York apartment. Created between 2019 and 2020 and mastered in 2022, these recordings have remained in the vaults until now. “See You” is a warm and melodic chillout cut driven by a breezy breakbeat and shimmering synths. “Be” is a slower tempo deep house tune with hazy chords, tweaked percussion, and a healthy dose of Balearic atmosphere.

In finally releasing these lost tunes, Kyle Louis revisits pensive moments from his past and continues his creative partnership with Working Rhythms Records and label founder D.D. Curry.

PREMIERE: Native Cruise - Japanese Fantasy Taxi [Fruit Merchant]

Order:
https://oye-records.com/releases/various-modern-obscure-edits-vol1A1 - G. - Live In Japan - PV Edit
B1 - SS. - My Man - Da Silva Edit
B2 - OIA - Somerset - Jimmi Bazzouka Edit

MOED is a very special selection of obscure edits, a side project from MOM, based in Barcelona.
The idea of this “DJ USE ONLY” material comes from Da Silva, an undercover label partner and a great collector, who made one of the edits. This EP also features well known producers like Jimi Bazzouka aka Joakim and Pedro Vian, the label owner.
Obscure Edits Volume 1 has a distinct 1980s feel, with each editor breathing new life into their chosen track. The first edit on the EP is PV’s edit Live In Japan. It features powerful synths, tight percussion and as you might expect, Japanese vocals. Next up is Da Silva’s version of My Man. This edit sees layered synths and a bassline provide a wonderful groove, where they are joined by heartbroken vocals. Finally, we have Jimi Bazzouka aka Joakim’s take on Somerset Hills. Here, a playful flute with an eastern feel is laid over strong keys and adaptable percussion. This is a strong selection of edits, which are ready for the dancefloor.

London based @Hyasynthe pulls up slowly building delight, Aurora. Particles shuttle around in the upper atmosphere, causing reddish and green hues to dance, all as that same sample loops over and over, building, waxing and waning. How can the producers use of Ableton 10, 808’s and your own heartstring have such an effect on the magnetic pole of the earth? we're completely unsure. 

We never thought something with so emotionally driven, and many hued could be birthed from someone hailing from Milton Keynes; what some call the Jewel of the Buckinghamshire heartland, but most consider the complete antithesis. Opposites attract, we suppose but this sonic sonnet is one to be saved, that’s for sure.

Luv*Jam presents The Legend Of Gelert 3000.6 with two ambient dream house artists of the highest order; Melbourne’s ‘Dawn Again’ and Wuppertal’s ‘Colkin’. As we continue the descent down the 3000’s of the Snowdonia mountain range. 3000.6 is Glyder Fawr at 3279 ft (999m) and is the higher of the two Glyderau summits which is gained up a scree slope above Glyn Y Can (Lake of the Dogs). The exact highest point between Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach is a matter of debate and they are only a few metres apart so you might well want to touch them both and join the rucksack club as we wiggle down the mountain side. Artwork is made with love for the local feral mountain goat population of Snowdon Massif, who were recently touted as bate by an idiotic hunting firm from across the borders by offering ‘the chance to shoot goats in the Welsh mountains for £1000’ yes you are reading this correctly… Protect our goats, protects our mountains, let this nomadic ancient breed run free and let our music take you to the niPPiest of peaks. 222 Units only. No repress.

'Space Is The Place' is a four track EP from one of Iceland's most hard working producers https://soundcloud.com/ask-ell. In a wave of newcomers that emerged into the scene around ten years ago, Áskell quickly made a good name for himself as a dedicated house DJ in the exciting Reykjavik electronic scene and eventually founded the label BORG.
In Áskell's own words the tracks were a product of experimenting in the studio where he's been evolving his sound for the past years.
The EP starts out with a lovely dreamy vibe as 'Space Is The Place' and 'Dimono’ make good use of some of Áskell's synths. The last two tracks on the EP provide bangers for the late night. 'Uwah' is a wonky techy tune made in collaboration with one of BORG's co-founders Ómar E. and 'Straum' goes full techno with what can be perceived as haunting, hovering chords over a modular type of a beat.
https://soundcloud.com/lagaffe-tales is happy to have one of its closest friends on the label, and excited to see what the Tales catalogue has to bring in the forthcoming year !

PREMIERE : Áskell - Dimono

Each door was etched with a title, presumably the meant something important to the workers and staff who walked the halls each day. Perhaps they offered a sense of grand superiority to those who were lucky enough to have an engraved front. It was all just a fancy bunch of bureaucratic rubbish which meant nothing beyond the concrete walls of the towering office block. Soon he would take a light to this place, burn it all to the ground and hope for the best. For now he simply knocked upon another oak coated door and sighed...

Rossum Universal Tracks is a project which we have featured prominently on Ransom Note previously. They now appear with a new EP for Seb Wildblood's record label all my thoughts.

Amidst all this COVID-19 chaos, we’re all in search of positive outlets.  How about one from Edinburgh hey..? The jolly Scotsman Telfort returns with his 4th EP (TLFT004), once again pressed with his very own TFLT emblem. Now if you know this chaps music, there’s a sense of precision about his records, seemingly every layer of every track mixed to perfection and this dose is no different. 

The B1 ‘It’s A Phase’ immediately stuck its chest out. An artfully repetitive house roller, made up of sharp percussion, laser-like keys and a reverberating dial tone on loop. There’s real texture in this record with rich synths that feel like the gift of flight and dense bass notes that inspire human movement. ‘It’s A Phase’  deliberately doesn’t reach any great crescendos, it coasts along with an understated authority, like all those who drive Teslas. 

Thus far, its just been Telfort pressing original material to TLFT. If I were a fortune teller, I’d say it won’t be too long before he invites other producers aboard his classy house bandwagon. Hop on and find a spare seat!
