For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

PREMIERE | Komodo - Vanquished Angst [Viscera Transmissions]

Why People War - Fundraiser for Ukraine vol. 1

WhyPeopleWar: Rouge Mécanique - Octrap

releases October 17, 2022

written and composed by @alexanderarpeggio & @nixxon
Bassgitarre “Künefe”: Dennis Schulze
Stimme und Text “Op beni Künefe”: Hilal Can
Synthesizer Bass “Op Beni Künefe”: Elizaveta Petcheniouk

Eine Welt presents Künefe as the second instalment in their limited 12inch series. 
A two tracker too hot to lick, spiced up with sweet Turkish herbs. A delicate oriental pearl, that’s until now only served in the finest Turkish cuisine. Produced and written by label owner Alexander Arpeggio and Danish artist Nixxon. 

The title track is a romantic homage to the sweet Turkish dish Künefe. Wrapped in 80s production NDW style, flavoured with analog synth melodies and erotic schlagerish German male vocals. Hotter than melted cheese this track will set any dance floor on fire.

The flip opens with a sensual vibe. Op beni Künefe is an anthemic, ferocious and hard rocking slow jam. Hip shaking bass line and flirty lyrics by Istanbul artist Hilal Can.
For those afraid of vocals, the record ends with an instrumental version of the title track.

Alexander Arpeggio & Nixxon - Op Beni Künefe

This place had a feeling. It was something indescribable, you simply had to experience it to know... There was a freedom that imbued everything, from mind to body, location to energy; nothing was constrained or shackled. They sat on the sand banks looking out to sea, the sun beat down on their backs as the slow and steady pulse of the music wrapped them up in a warm blanket. They were present, more present than they'd ever been before, if only this moment could last forever...

Simas Slabačiauskas has been part of the Lithuanian music scene for many years. Whether it's through his iconic Smala nights (alongside Manfredas and Marijus Klimaitis), or his 12 Inčų po žeme project with the latter, to his more recent Tribal Ice Cream duo with Middle Sky Boom, good music remains at the core of everything he does.

With his first solo single under his given name, which also marks the second release on his newly founded Sorelsol label, he invites us to find our "inner sun" through the warm, organic rhythms of 'Sun Jacuzzi' which features vocals from his Tribal Ice Cream partner and guitar from JUODUOMENĖ member Tumosa. The release also comes with a stripped back instrumental version, and two remixes on the flip from Tim Paris and a clubby rendition from Middle Sky Boom.

In ATL where I live, rainstorms have arrived for the next few days as Hurricane Erin has moved inland. Yet, even on the rainiest of days, the afterglow of music created around firelight lingers like the smoky scent of burnt hickory. In my world, that “firelight” is a computer screen, although in the past I’ve noodled an acoustic guitar around a campfire. Who hasn’t?! 😀

Today, I feel fortunate to enjoy the immense talent and camaraderie of SoundCloud friends. So a song of thanks. Pretend we’re gathered around a campfire for a toast — Here’s to humans making music 🥂🍻 To the goosebump factory! as friend @TheBeautifulDark calls it  ✨🪄And to its afterglow! 🍾 🙏

In the words of Eva Geist:
"These two guys make me feel proud of being Italian! Michele and Simone are two virtuosos of improvisation. When you see them rehearsing you feel there’s perfect understanding between them, a sonic family realm which connects them. In fact they are brothers and probably started to play together in their Kinderwagen. These two artisans have raised a wonderful center in Brescia, one of the most Covid affected cities in Italy. Spettro, this is the name of their venue, is currently running its fundraising campaign  to remain open despite the crisis. Both Ondula and me have played there; a big heart only, in a place where subcultures are constantly stunted. We are really big fans of Twoonky, one of those project that will always deliver....."

Diapason is a Neukoelln based events series created by Ondula and Eva Geist, inspired by obscure music culture, experimental art and experiences of life in suburban communities of outsiders. With Petra Péterffy’s morphic graphics and animations, Diapason has become a much anticipated bi-monthly appointment for the Sameheads audience.

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.

Released August 1, 2020
