While keepin' the foot on the gas pedal and building momentum, Kolegos follows up with a self-released EP. A melancholy-drenched baseline hip mover. Frontline original vocals dedicated as an Ode to friends and memories to come. The EP includes an Italo-synth stomper from Black Feeling and a tense organic techno interpretation from Jaroška.

Kolegos - Ode

The Crystal Ark return with a double pack 12” containing some wildly engaging, stripped-down mixes of 4 tracks from their 2012 debut album on DFA. Contains brand new extended versions of the songs Rain, Paradise, Ascension, and We Came To.

The band has the following to say about these remixes:

“Mixing The Crystal Ark album was a deep process. Viva Ruiz and I spent a month in the studio with Matt Thornley and as we mixed the tracks we discovered that certain parts of them sounded so wonderful and driving when stripped down that we did some extra mixes to highlight this aspect. It felt connected to the "Dub" or "Techno" mixes you'd find on late 80's - mid 90's dance 12"s, which were often much more pounding than the original versions of the tracks, more geared to the dance floor than the radio.”
-Gavin Russom, The Crystal Ark

"We wanted to create some more DJ friendly versions of some of the songs, so we approached it like we would a traditional remix, with the difference of doing most of the moves live on analog gear. Kind of old school DUB style. This way it captured more energy and spontaneity than if we had planned every move before hand. "
-Matt Thornley, The Crystal Ark

“At the end of the very intense process of mixing the tracks for the record, Gavin, Matt and I were excited to approach these tracks with an entirely different perspective. In my mind, I saw these tracks going out to the people holding down the dance floor, those people who are the VIPS at any function, so for me essentially these dubs are dedicated to the dancers.”
-Viva Ruiz, The Crystal Ark

Although this is their first EP, Get A Room! – the moniker of
Aurelien Haas and Jeff Lasson - are certainly no novices to
the Parisian music scene. They have been active for years:
digging through crates to find and edit hidden gems before
reintroducing them to the movers and shakers of the
French capital through concept store Colette and their own
imprint Small Time Cuts.

Black Strobe - 06 - The Girl From The Bayou CRACKBOY RMX

Liudas Lazauskas (aka Roe Deers) and Titas Motuzas are two friends and musicians from Vilnius, Lithuania. After releasing a cover at
Mange Moi, and also introducing their first original release Losses (which also came in music video form), these guys are finally doing
what was their initial plan - launching their own independent, Vilnius based label called “Good Skills”. For the first release, Good Skills is
presenting two different originals from BDHBTS and eight great remixes created by dear friends from all over the world - two American Berliners, two Belgian acts, a band from Russia, and brothers from Cologne, Tauragė and Tel Aviv.
First track of the EP - “Bad Habits” - has this story around itself, you’ve probably already heard before. It all started as a little jam in the studio, ended up being philosophy, the name and an interest a of newly formed band. Here you can hear the typical recipe of BDHBTS
music - little line of acid, pretty weird sounding vocals and solid, very solid bass line. Not a banger of a track, but it definitely wasn’t the
initial mission. Let me introduce you to my bad habits :)
Second original - “Uždaras vakaras" - shows the way BDHBTS likes to dance. Meeting under influence in the studio turned out to be a
night, when the anthem for Vilnius bouncers was born. Literal meaning of “Uždaras vakaras” is “Private evening”, which is a phrase very often used by local bouncers when not allowing somebody to enter the club. Little meaning lyrically, simple melodies, lots of drama and some electronic accordion - this track is just like your night out.
Remix for track “Bad Habits” made by Curses explains why Luca is known as a true master of disco darkness. American raised, Berlin
based and Lithuanian hearted Curses once again delivers a great selection of spooky sounds and incredible bass guitar cuts. Just the
right amount of dirty.
Moderna’s techno version of “Uždaras vakaras” wins the heaviest track of the release title. Darker than night, more mysterious than
Voldemort, hotter than your lover. This one goes straight to your peak time folder.
Good Skills is honoured to have DEEWEE’s finest - Asa Moto - on board for this all star game of a release. Boys from Gent shows the
prettier side of “Bad habits” - great remix for warm up set, sunset chill or autobahn ride.
Strapontin swings hard with his execution of “Uždaras vakaras”. Hypnotic piece for hard working dance floor community - never ending build up madness from Brussels. It’s like eating a waffle with very dark chocolate.
German poet Bryan Kessler is not only a true friend, but also a very creative one. He could not say no when BDHBTS asked to remix a
track, which he probably didn’t like, so instead he made them a cover. Sticky, a bit 80s sounding version of “Bad habits” with a lot to
offer.
Let’s talk weed. Alek Lee brings you a trippy percussion mix of “Uždaras vakaras” on a magic carpet straight from the deserts around Tel Aviv. If you haven’t him on stage live with bongos and/or tambourines - you should definitely do it.
Rising Lithuanian fellow Zakmina’s remix for “Uždaras vakaras” is already a hit on local dancefloors. Heavy bass riff and straightforward
groove is always a good idea.
Vodka version aka remix for “Bad Habits” from Russian fellas Wolfstream has already been played in their live sets. We saw it, we loved it and we are sure it works. Pure rock’n’roll vibes.

Test Drive

The Crystal Ark is Gavin Russom's body-centric, New York avant-pop collaboration with Viva Ruiz. The group began when Russom asked Ruiz to write and sing Spanish lyrics over a pair of instrumentals he had created blending his signature hypnotic synthesizer sound with distinctly danceable beats. Ruiz's vocalizations, which blended song, spell and rallying cry, took these pieces to new heights and the result was the group's first two singles released on New York's DFA label: "The City Never Sleeps" and "The Tangible Presence of the Miraculous".  The second single featured percussionist Alberto Lopez's fierce polyrhythmic drumming as a supplement to the already driving electronic pulse.  A desire to carry the sound forward and expand it further solidified the collaboration. The nucleus of the band began to crystallize as they drew together a group of dynamic individuals with different creative and cultural backgrounds; including Lopez, vocalists Jaiko Suzuki and Sokhna Heathyre Mabin (whom Viva had worked with previously), bassist Tyler Pope and electronics expert Matt Thornley (both of whom Gavin had worked with during LCD Soundsystem's final tour) and 2nd bassist Eliza Douglas.

Gavin and Viva created a collection of new music, specifically designed as an album, and gathered the group to record their self-titled full length debut. Released in October 2012, the album showcased the collective’s adventurous multidimensional soundscape. Featuring tracks like “We Came To”, “Rain”, “Ascension” and “Morir Soñando”, the set vividly reflected the surging intensity of New York City itself through pulsing meditations about possibility, transformation and opening up to the forces of nature.

The live show expands this recorded output into a multi faceted ultra-sensory performance, often adding dancers Discos and Alberto Cortes and a video crew comprised of Bec Stupak and Johnny Woods, to fully realize their celebratory sonic and visual aesthetic. Always eager to bring the party, they hit the road in many combinations - from a 5 person core group to a 13 person art ensemble - performing all over the world at premiere venues such as the Sydney Opera House, Palais De Tokyo, The Hirshorn Museum and MOMA PS1, festivals like Noise Pop and Serralves em Festa, as well as many sweaty, dark night clubs.
