The lights were low in the small bar, sat alone drinkers watched onwards as the music echoed from the large speaker set. They said little to one another but listened to the sweet, soft sound which filled the space and set the tone for the mysterious, murky affair. The evening was young and they would be here until the small hours, captivated by the strange radiance of the noise.

It were as if they were in a trance like state, lost in the middle of madness yet utterly happy and perplexed in the sheer willingness of it all. Some might call it meditation, others might think it to be magic.

As the fog began to fill the room, one by one they began to nod off and drift away in the the melody…


 
Pingipung is celebrating twenty years of wonderful records. The label, based in Hamburg, has been a stalwart for showcasing cutting edge artists and experimental sounds for two decades and are rejoicing in this with the release of a bundle of new music from some familiar faces and fresh newcomers.

This track by Umeko Ando is remixed by none other than German kraut pioneer Tolouse Low Trax.

XX, Pingipung. A record label turns 20

PREMIERE: Umeko Ando – Hutare Chui (Tolouse Low Trax Remix)[Pingipung]

Listen up, it's Pingipung. A nice record label from Hamburg, since 2002.

★Echoes from Venus was born out of love for music★
Venus meets us in the morning and evening and reminds us symbolically of what our label stands for as well as how we want to meet at the Echoes events:
With love, sensuality, harmony, seduction, mindfulness, peace and partnership to name a few....
This should also be reflected in our music.
There is a lot of heart, relationship, joy and respect in each of our releases and the events.
If you also feel this and such intensions are in your productions send us your demos to:
info@echoesfromvenus.ch
Since we don't have time for stress, we tend to choose downtempo music. We are open for organic, warm sounds, instruments, voices, experimental.......

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.

House is defined as «disco music made by amateurs.  It was the essence of disco (rhythms, bass lines, spirit) recreated on machines that were a cross between toys and musical instruments by kids, more clubbers than musicians.  The DJs, who aspired to preserve a music declared dead, had created another from its ashes».

I love good quality music, my taste is quite eclectic, sometimes a bit dark .........
