French Décalé records launching new sub-label Feng Shit Records. 
Born from eponymous LYL’s radioshow, this new imprint will highlight electronic and experimental music from contemporary artists. (Vs Décalé that focuses only on reissues). 
The launching release is a 14-track compilation on tape called "Castalia Drops". We took our project inspiration into Greek mythology: the water fountain of Castalia, frequented by the oracle Pythia of Delphi, were capable of inspiring poetic creation to those who drink its water or listen to its murmur.
In that context, Castalia Drops delivers a futuristic testament of club no-club music rooted in melancholia. A prediction of fourteen titles by warned visionaries (Epsilove, Christian Coiffure), freshly illuminated (OKO DJ, Dhakira, Explorations Silencieuses) from France, Switzerland and the super talented Israeli Tai Rona. It’s an ode to destiny oscillating from softening aural breezes (Eiger Drums Propaganda, Aloe, AM Khamsaa) to psychedelics rituals (Gavr, One Foot Step & Nitrate) and spiritual dance substrates (808Hz, Yolek, Antoine). 
The 4-sided insert contains also inspirational texts and poems provided by the artists themselves in their languages of preference like Romanche and Hungarian. 
The curation of the compilation has been done by Orsett & Fischer from Décalé, the mastering by Louis de La Gorce (from the Pilotwings) and the graphic design by the Swiss Martin Cramatte.

2. Velmondo & Iro Aka - Subtraction

The music by Yan Kruau & Michele Ottini was first released in 2017 on 60 tapes only. Subject To Restrictions Discs makes them available on vinyl for the first time.

L'ultimo Di Noi EP

PREMIERE : Yan Kruau & Michele Ottini - Una Via D'uscita

Flint in the feed, now the wires are clean
Blood's just a rumor in the mezzanine
Click-click hymn in a bang-bang dream
The leveller comes without a name

He’s all safety off and Sunday best
Chalk lines tangled in a bulletproof vest
Lipstick smear on a broadcast test
No prayers, just pre-set regrets

Leveller, leveller, draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

He sweeps the malls, he sighs through screens
Prints his gospel in AR beams
You won’t feel the body, just the seams
Unravel slow in machine-gun dream

You thought you’d see him coming
But he’s post-time, pre-cry, un-running
The kind of truth you don’t detect
Until your angles disconnect

He’s the prayer without the voice
The war declared without a choice
A blur between the fall and fact
A quiet click where worlds contract

And if you breathe, and if you shake
And if you reach, it’s still too late
Because he’s not here to mend or end
He takes what no one can defend

Leveller, leveller, draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

Leveller, leveller, draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

He levels love, he levels luck
Leaves a silence sharp as rust
And when they ask you where he stood
You’ll say "where anyone could."

CNDMBLE 002: Various Artists - "To Style One Into"

The party was in full effect, brimming with friendly faces and lively, incessant chatter. She shimmied through the crowd discreetly grazing her fingertips against his as she passed him. Their eyes locked for just a moment and her heart began to race. She gulped and quickly averted her gaze. This had become a recurring situation that they now knew all too well. Day after day, night after night they battled with these same desires, trying to fight their primal urges. How could something that feels so right also feel so wrong? It was their secret, and it would have to remain that way. At least for now...

Berlin-based party and mix series Warning kick off their new label with two reworks from Benedikt Frey and DJ TABLEDANCE. On today's premiere, Benedikt puts a dark and sleazy spin on a classic cut from Aaliyah.

PREMIERE: Unknown - Rock The Boat (Benedikt Frey Rework) [Warning]

After the vinyl release of "Life Worth Living" EP, the Belgo-Australiana duo Ca$hminus return with "VER$ION$" which is exactly what it says on the tin - friends' reinterpretations from around the globe. Melbourne’s brotherly duo Donald’s House get things started. After their debut EP on Berlin’s Touch Of A Distance a few months ago, they present their first ever remix: a low slung, far out dub version of “Paradise” - the original will see the light of day early 2020. 

Next up, favourite Frenchie E-Talking (Whities) delivers a shapeshifting dancefloor version of "De Vlasmarkt". A true rollercoaster of a track that takes you places. Emotional entertainment, dare we say it.

Hong Kong’s very own Mr. Ho rounds things off. The Mihn Club resident and one of the powers behind Klasse Wrecks offers a murky, understated groove with echoes of trance lurking out of sigh.

2 Heaven 2 Hell (Eden Burns Baked Beans in the Basement Mix)
3 Heaven 2 Hell (Eden Burns Remix)

Heaven 2 Hell speaks of the journey from disempowerment into empowerment, from separation into unity, from hatred into love or visa versa, it speaks of a journey of deep inner transformation, of seeing the darkness within and around us, to see the truth, and to find acceptance, to bring ourselves from separation back into unity. From Hell back into Heaven. Heaven To Hell comes with two remixes from Vanessa’s partner, Eden Burns.  Vanessa’s album “Vanessa 77", delayed due to the pandemic is out July 10th (vinyl / digital).

Free Shelter Edits #9

Fauve Records head honcho RFX kicks us off with his work on Assid Rayn. With the infamous releases on Fauve as well as the always welcomed Bandcamp Friday special “Ephemeral Edits” releases, we’ve been waiting to collaborate with this fella and me-oh-my was the wait worth it. ASSS-ASSSIIIIID. We continue with a couple of legends in this so-called “edits game”. Running Hot, the infamous duo from UK that does not need any introduction, and among our personal favourites. Our homegrown Aaron Maple continues on the third act, where he does his usual magic on My Maya. To end the 9th edition, Miro-Benji breaks the beat with World Championships. A track that stays true to its title and works just as well in a sweaty warehouse as it does in a Colin McRae rally game in the arcade hall. This is one we suggest you save for a special post-covid moment, when the dance floor is your oyster and the crowd is in the palm of your hands.
