Follow Vazy Julie from Metaphore Collectif and discover the hidden paths of traditional Provence and Occitanie through one nostalgic hour of folklore and field recordings.

"Provence, moun païs.
This one-hour soundscape is an invitation to visualize and feel. It begins with a walk in the garrigue, passes through a village, and a few others, and when night falls, I wanted you to feel the mistral let out of control on your skin.
It goes to meet the elders, and in a time when identity is at the center of preoccupations, I wanted to get back to the essential: We all belong to a decor, this one is mine. So, this mix is a very personal way between traditional and folk music from Occitanie and Provence, field recordings from anthropologists and musicologists works, the 70’s novà cançon occitana, and contemporary tracks that remind me of the south and the mediterranean. I worked this mix as a visualization experience, in a very personal and intimate way.
Close your eyes and grab my hand, I'll show you where I grew up!"

Forever - Every Second

Recorded in Lisbon, Winter 2017. I present the first volume of Synthesizer Ditties inspired by a bygone age of witches and wizards, knights and dragons, enchanted swords, haunted graves, sacred forests and regal kingdoms. Recorded almost entirely on a Korg Monologue + spring reverb / LN76 (TR-08 on some ditties also). I've not made the other volumes yet, but when i do, maybe i'll put it out as some sort of expensive compendium or do a limited dubplate run or something else annoying like that? Get in touch if your into it: Huzzah!

Medieval Ditties Vol. 1.

A new collaboration between Best Available Technology and Ovis Aurum, the BOA project kicks off a new series of 12" club records for Styles Upon Styles in 2020 with a 3-tracker laden with bruising, experimental takes on UK bass, dub and dembow rhythms.

Two BOA originals on the A side, "Body Series" and "Deglover", channel the power of classic Digital Mystikz bassweight and the churning dancefloor weaponry of Vex'd to forge a volatile new style of UK club music as heard from across the pond. The flip side owes it's vibe to riotous dembow percussion as one of the UK's more innovative DJs, Mosca, squeezes BOA's sound (including audio from their forthcoming LP) into a slinking, sidewinding reggaeton monster.

SUS033 is out on vinyl/digital on January 24, 2019. Pre-order digital via Bandcamp:

Craven Faults takes his Bleep mix in an altogether different direction to some of the recent series entries. Rather than offering dancefloor heaters, this set looks to push towards the outer-edges of harmony, and as such we often leave rhythm behind altogether here. Sometimes this is done through focussing on the Krautrock and kosmische artists who hold such strong way over Craven Faults’ own music - Can, Tangerine Dream and Harmonia all appear - while there are cuts from avant-garde luminaries Laurie Spiegel and This Heat. By the end of the hour we’ve entered full-on art-music territory, Charles Ives’ seminal early-20th-Century orchestral composition ‘The Unanswered Question’ leading us, by different means, into a space similar to those aforementioned electronic innovations.

After a humble startup release in 2019, Philou Louzolo continues his quest with his Afrofuristic label Wokoundou and welcomes us once again in his fictional multiverse. The opening anthem Ahosi Army is that song where we can hear Philou's diverse influences come together: aggressive polyrhythmic African drums are taking the lead accompanied by Philou himself playing the percussion in combination with lightsaber - effects and lazershots shooting over a deeply layered African Techno track, a true space battle anthem. Violet and Alma Negra are taking us to a new place at the intergalactic outskirts of Wokoundou's multiverse with two strong and propulsive remixes.

"Sleepless Six" by Nordvest
PRE-ORDER:
Europe - http://suction-eu.shop/products/nordvest-grondal
North America - http://suction.shop/products/nordvest-grondal

Artist: Nordvest
Title: Grøndal
Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction051
Format: Vinyl LP / digital
Release date: July 3, 2020

Suction Records welcomes Roger Semsroth back to the label - having previously released 2 full-length albums with us under his retired electro-pop alias, Skanfrom. “Grøndal” (suction051) is the debut vinyl release under a new alias, Nordvest. These days, Semsroth is best-known for his stark and minimalist techno project, Sleeparchive. The material on Grøndal - icy, melodic, and mostly beatless - is comprised of tracks that were originally released digitally as Sleeparchive, via Bandcamp. The releases were met with general disinterest from Sleeparchive fans, prompting Semsroth to re-brand them as Nordvest, before removing them from Bandcamp altogether.

We’ve chosen 11 highlights from 3 of those digital albums, “Rooftops & Chaotic Streets”, “Scribbles”, and “Sleepless”, for a cohesive 11-track LP of austere, synthetic ambience. Think Tangerine Dream as reinterpreted by Incunabula-era Autechre, and you might be getting somewhere close. While “Rooftops & Chaotic Streets Seven” recalls Sleeparchive, and “Sleepless Six” could very well be a lost Skanfrom track, the rest of the LP clearly warrants a new alias - Nordvest is a new side of Semsroth that we haven’t heard before.

NV REC is a new project designed to help shape a new young community of artists, musicians and events in Sochi/Moscow. It is being championed and pioneered by OL who himself has released a collective array of music on the likes of FIT Sound, Muscut, Meda Fury and Motion Ward. 

The goal is to provide education, access and outlets to up and coming musicians and producers offering them the chance to showcase their music both locally and more widely. 

The latest release on the label comes from 4-й энергоблок - a duo made up of Sil and Luge. The label describes their music and background as follows:

"Both are Deficit Moscow employees and residents. Sil has been interacting with Nvrec crew for a long time as a dj and Luge is known as a participant in the Bolshevo jazz-trio. Combining forces in their debut album «Привыкай к земле» Sil and Luge are moving away from the casual framework creating warm-hearted musical landscapes filled with jazz harmonies framed by a light touch of cosmic atmosphere. Recorded during 4 months as a result of home studio jam sessions."
