 Less Popular Than Cats

[PREMIERE] Jo Johnson - Track 3 - Less Popular Than Cats

Here is the first Selectors premiere of the year - on a more ambient / lo-fi future funk tip, track titled Ufos Over Egypt, taken from the soon to drop Mole album.  Shout out to Circus Company! 

A normally elusive creature, The Mole can be found most at home behind a DJ booth during the wee smoky hours in the midst of long, drawn-out sets. Known for his love of sonic collage and musical noodling, he boasts a long and colourful list of releases—for
labels like Perlon, Ostgut Ton, Slices of Life, Circus Company, Haunt, Musique Risquée, New Kanada, Internasjonal and longtime home Wagon Repair.

A relentless digger with an utter disregard for the structural capabilities of his living room floor, Colin is on a constant one-man mission to keep the record store industry afloat. This means, in his case, approaching music with the kind of open-mindedness and humility necessary for not only acquiring, but learning. Which might be what makes him an ideal bandmate to his friends in Modern Deep Left Quartet and Units &
Measurements. "That—or the jokes."

It's the low profile, the constant smile and a genuine love for music that make The Mole, an artist with a career spanning over 20 years, an easy one to recognise at a party. He's the guy with an ear-to-ear grin on his face, wondering why in the world he got so lucky.

Die Orangen - Zwei (feat. Hayley Morgan)

Thoughts clouded her mind, mirroring the white blanket that covered the sky outside her window. She'd been gazing out of it for hours, hoping for some inspiration to hit her, but she was finding it hard to engender motivation at all. There wasn't much movement or action outside to give rise to a feeling, but she was hopeful. For now, she'd continue to gaze outside and wait for that moment...

It's not easy to keep an independent label afloat, but Cosmo Vitelli's I'm A Cliche imprint has continued to thrive for over 15 years. To celebrate the occasion he's brought together friends and allies for a 13 track V/A compilation called Bongo, Beats & Bankruptcy, that captures the label's quirks and eccentricities and touches all corners of their vast musical universe. Amongst tracks from Benoît B, Fantastic Twins, Ivan Smagghe and Marc Collin's Volga Select project and Cosmo himself is our selection 'Skate & Distort', a club-ready IDM-not-IDM number by African Acid co-founder Rouge Mécanique.

Serial Error was founded as a New Beat project when Jacob Korn was asked for a submission to the 'Our Beat Is Still New' compilation series on the Belgian We Play House label in late 2014.
Knowing the retro-experienced skills of his label mates from Uncanny Valley, he teamed up with Credit 00 & Sneaker and they produced Drum Abuse, a track that finally became the cue for their first full 12'' maxi single in 2018 on Rat Life Records; a label curated by Credit 00.

Now they keep on malfunctioning with a 4-tracker featuring the bizarre title Afro Gothic.

The eponymous track was the first shot when they got together for a second EP in Jacob's studio in now demolished premises (the typical daily Rat Life). The slow, steamy roller captures the amateurish live percussion skills of Credit 00, while - on the other hand - he played one of the manuals of Jacob's 'Son of GX' organ along with Sneaker playing the other manual of the leading voice synth.  
On top, they added a classic acapella - a sudden strike of genius - 'perfectly matching the solemn vibe'
(in their opinion; artist quote).

A2 'Unter den Helmen' is ripping off the same organ's preset drum patterns run through a brutal EQ. Talking of the 70s - a duet by two anti-nuclear activists from the German Sponti  movement of the time  became the theme of this politically charged protest song!

Oh yeah, somewhere I had to paste the striking fact that all is mastered & sent via reel-to-reel at our TailOut studio. Check!

B1 and B2 are two versions of the same song who share their lyrics drawn from school days. To be precise from the tacky Dresden art academy they both - Sneaker and Credit 00 - visited.
The B2 of 'Art Academy Talk' features the typical Sneaker vocals on a 4/4 beat, while - due to Credit 00's lean towards electro - the B1 got the vocoder treatment while Jacob and Sneaker went for lunch.
As Jacob came up with the bass riff on his Chroma Polaris, Credit fiddled the knobs of his Ensoniq ESQ1 like a rusty raver .  
The freaked out FX-sounds we can cherish thanks to the Pearl DRX drum machine; modded and played by Jacob Korn. Due to the odd look also fondly nick-named 'the VCR'. The Pearl, of course, not Jacob.

Serial Error - Afrogothic EP (RAT 18)

When Laura (Ondula) makes jokes out of my kind of extravagant elegance, or about her elaborated saturday-night hair-style, she says that’s “macadam mambo”! When I first listened to her saying this I found it very appropriate.

Sacha Mambo, the man who together with Guillaume des Bois, started the notorious label Macadam Mambo, has been one of Diapason highlights. During the past years Sacha and me were part of the same international underground party scene and ended up putting out a couple of my most known releases, which preluded to the most recent EP “That’s when the Animals turned into humans” made with Laura under the name As Longitude and featuring Twoonky and Paul Arambula. If I remember well, Laura, Sacha and me made the agreement exactly in mid July 2018, in Berlin, just before the night at Sameheads began.

The recent lockdown forced Sameheads to cancel our latest two episodes. Shifting to this hidden virtuality, we want to keep the tradition alive and have reached out to some of our past guests and assembled a Diapason Compilation Tape Vol. 1 featuring new music from some of the artists who inspired us.

Invisible Inc proudly presents the latest outing by London-based electro-prog/psych/kraut entity Higamos Hogamos.
Re-Exit EP is a psychedelic mutant hybrid combining orchestral drama and psych rock to create an imaginary spaghetti western soundtrack. Had Michael Nyman and John Adams worked with David Axelrod and asked The Residents to produce it they might have ended up somewhere similar.
Features an extended mix and radio mix of the title track plus a cosmic dub remix by GK Machine and a fourth track that's possibly the oddest of the lot....Gong Fishing is a little Eno, a little Ennio...and much more.
The EP is released on the same day as the new Higamos Hogamos album "Generation Games" - an ambient epic driven by modular/vintage synths and field recordings hiding a distinctly dystopian sci-fi feel underneath its apparent beauty.

Premiere : Higamos Hogamos - Re-Exit (GK Dub Voyager Mix) [Invisible, Inc.]

Molly’s RDV returns this December, rounding out the year with a reissue of material from 1994 by French artist Continental and backed by a remix from Cosmin TRG.
Amrboise Boret is a French engineer, mixer and producer located in Paris who released material under various guises from the nineties through to the early 2000’s. Here we see
his Continental moniker brough back into the limelight, highlighting a selection of material from the Pushin' It Up EP on Alliance Records.
Up first is ‘Flying Dub’, as the name would suggest a dub-infused excursion through gliding chord sequences, snaking bass licks and bright string sequences while swinging analogue drums dynamically evolve throughout. ‘Way U Jack’ follows, introducing a more Chicago leaning attitude rhythmically alongside low-pitched vocal murmurs, fluttering dub chords and a bumpy bass line.
Title-track ‘Whispers’ follows on the b-side next, employing ethereal atmospherics, flute like synth melodies, organ bass tones and crunchy, shuffled percussion. Rounding out the EP Cosmin TRG reworks ‘Whispers’, offering a contemporary twist on the original with intricately programmed drums, subtly nuanced introductions of the originals atmospherics, winding low- end pulsations and an overall ornate, dynamic feel.
Tracklist:

A1 Flying Dub
A2 Way u Jack
B1 Whispers
B2 Whispers (Cosmin TRG remix)
