Name: PREMIERE: Zodiac Childs - Diviner [Zodiac Wax] by Ransom Note in Dave Clarke
Duration: 6 min 9 s
Description: Zodiac Childs debuts on his own vinyl-only Zodiac Wax imprint with a killer 12" called 'EP 1' - thankfully the music is a lot more fleshed out than the title! We're premiering 'Diviner' which is a gorgeously lush breakbeat cut given a sour aftertaste by that spritely little acid synth line. Blissed out rave vocals cap the whole thing off in style. Highly recommended!

Track Info: 

Master sampler Fed Conti has a way of making grooves sound as light as a feather, elevating kraut and jazz phrases to dreamy realms where the imagination is tickled. To kick off the forthcoming debut PROGedia album, revered producer and remixer Charles Webster adds his inimitable touch to the single ‘We Are The Night’, expanding on Conti’s heartfelt arrangements, playing with beats and textures, as he travels smooth melodic lines.

PROGedia is the newest alias of the Italian producer Fed Conti, also known as Mahjong and Nardis. After having played his Hammond organ with several jazz deities, and produced samples for Coca Cola and Universal, he is finally unleashing his kinky musical imagination in the PROGedia album; ‘We Are The Night’ kicks off a mixture of kraut, psychedelic grooves and nu jazz, tied together through clever arrangements and a refined sampling process. ‘It’s an escape from modern decadence,’ says Fed, who adores the authentic and offbeat. It only makes sense, then, that the first track of his upcoming album is called ‘We Are The Night’; during the darkest hours PROGedia’s retro extravagance can claim a foothold, offering a warm breeding ground for quirkiness, infatuation, and musical liberation.

The renowned producer Charles Webster, too, is a real music fetishist; he got his first instruments at the age of 13 and went on to collaborate with the likes of Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, founding his own Love From San Francisco project and following with two decades of classy and sophisticated music productions. For this occasion, he has added his unmistakable touch to the ‘We Are The Night’ title track, complementing PROGedia’s infectious grooves with poignant rhythms and motley textures.

We like to present to you our new release with a selection of day one friends. The 12” starts with the euphoric rave anthem “Members of Warning 2021” by Giraffi Dog & Erik Jäähalli. A track title some of you might recognize which will bring peace and harmony to It’s followed by the heartwarming Hip Hop cut “Shout Outs” which is dedicated to da family and our sweet raver posse. The B side hits different as Henry 3000 is a G when it comes to baba Electro bombs while DJ Hummer understands to cool it down in trancy Westcoast Funk manner. A well balanced pack of diverse tunes wrapped once again in beautiful design by Guillaume de Ubeda.

'Kid Wizard Gate' coincidently has a very funny backstory. It's basic idea was written at the former Doom Chakra Studio. The studio was based below the second edition of the famous Record Loft recordstore. The track is a collaboration between DJ Hummer, who's also part of Giraffi Dog and myself, Henry3000 aka Phyzikal Flex. Together, alongside the absolute overlord and mystical boss himself, DJ Deflektorschild aka Donnie Dolphin aka countless other monikers we run the infamous Doom Chakra Tapes label. 

Hummer and I were jamming in the studio. We programmed some 808 beats on the beloved Novation Drumstation and Hummer came up with the low bassline which was played on the Juno 106. To compliment the line I played the bleepy midrangey figure on the Prophet. In the beginning the track was rather sparse and the actual layout wasn't continued for a while. Later on we picked it up and added more and more harmonic elements and it turned out to be what it is today. The arpeggio came from the 106, the pads and leads are mostly from a Korg Poly 61. The Poly 61 bits are responsible for the spacey feel and are really the great icing on the cake.

We came up with the title because a friend (who shall remain nameless here) was extremely convinced that we've ripped the bassline from a Eric & Rakim track. Whilst in retrospective the note intervals may be similar, still the rhythmic pattern is very different. Also the other musical elements we've added are totally on a whole other planet. We've had a heated argument over that topic but the friend didn't change his opinion even a dozen didn't hear the similarity he heard. We even had a rap-style beef going on which was fought by mocking each other's tracks. Therefore the track jokingly received the working title "The Rakim Gate". Kid Wizard was the former name of Rakim so we chose that instead as it's less obvious.

After reviving his 16-bit soul with rampantly joyful and excessively hedonistic escapades in New York, the now newly-named Sonikku (casting off the DJ moniker of old and focussing purely on his namesake) takes refuge in the legendary high altitude temple, rising from the forest through the clouds and to a monumental blue-hued floating structure. Sky Sanctuary. 
Sonikku's warm, lilted audio recordings from time spent there tell a story of two Sonikku's. One, a young producer, all scorched drum carnage with fruit basket plugins that betray a balearic leaning that defied their age (the B-side). Then the second Sonikku. Pure vibes, positive waves and solid life lessons gleaned all the way from the Sky Sanctuary (A-side).

French producer @trudged has been making a name for himself over the last year with a succession of releases and a unique live show. The «Split EP» with Die Roh (Sagats & DJ Octopus), released last summer by Axe On Wax sublabel, Axe Traxx, established a left-field house sound with elements of lo-fi - blown out kicks, grainy samples and lush pads. His releases this year (one on Dance Around 88, and another on Shall Not Fade sublabel, Lost Palms) show a sonic development, experimenting with heavier sounds (‘Restless’) as well as emotive dream-house (‘Deep Eyes Blue Skies’). This latest 12” sees Trudge explore a darker mood with nods to a diverse range of styles.

«Buried Hopes» is a 4-track EP released by @ofparadiserecords. The fourth installment of the London label, the record is a fitting follow-up to Baltra’s double LP, «No Regrets». Our premiere today, the A1 track, ‘Memorial For A Buried Hope’ is a haunting opener that’s equally infectious as it is ominous. An overdriven kick and distorted chords open the 8-minute piece, and are gradually accompanied by driving hi-hats and fuzzy snare. The atmospheric haziness is grounded by the bass, which sometimes slips towards an acid sound and provides the main melodic motif. High strings build tension half-way through the track, signalling the peak. ‘Memorial For A Buried Hope’ is a slow-burner that invites the listener to lose themselves in its meditative textures, the pounding rhythms maintain a forward momentum that suggests the energy of New York techno. The following track, ‘Sad But Necessary’ moves further into the acid realm and compliments the opener. The B-side offers inventive, juxtaposing takes on jungle. ‘Drop’ features slow breakbeats and hazy pads, while the closer, ‘And I’m Losing My Mind Again,’ is intensely quick, the breakbeats fading in-and-out as choral pads evoke a religious atmosphere, ending the record on an emotional high.

The «Buried Hopes» 12” can be pre-ordered now, through Lobster Records, or is available as a digital download on the Of Paradise Bandcamp.
