I have been sitting on this project for a couple months now and just mixed it today! I hope you enjoy this energetic and melodic  trance piece!

Shooting Stars

Caravan’s Coarsica EP is a gorgeous six-tracker of wandering drum machines and shiny synths, washed with the burnt umbers and viridescent hues of the Australian outback. Computer-funk with a green thumb. As the track-listing suggests, Coarsica is a tribute to subtle and compelling beauty of Australia’s native flora, as if Costa Georgiadis and Dâm-Funk got away from the big smoke for a weekend and spent the whole time by the river cooking this bad boy up. Like rugged and stoic Banksia, or the regal Flindersia, each track on the Coarsica EP provides a dappled shade under which the weary dancer can rest in these hot summer months.

@Monologues Records is a record label founded by Ben Gomori in January of 2015 and has evolved from what was initially a podcast series. Although the mixes are still coming with relative frequency, so are the records. The first seventeen releases were digital only but like many others before him, Gomori has decided to start releasing on wax and the last seven records from artists such as Nail and Leon Revol have been pressed to vinyl. The eighth 12" release from Monologues features a four track EP from DJ Aakmael with two of those being remixes, one from Ben Gomori himself and the other coming from none other than the man behind the imprint's previous release.

@LeonidMusique has had several releases come out in fairly quick succession this year with EPs on Secret Reels, Future Disco, and of course Monologues. The young producer is somewhat of an unheralded wunderkind flying under the radar with lovely sample work and moody textures found throughout most of his work thus far. In today's premiere he takes the already fantastic track Dahlin' from DJ Aakmael and gives it his own spin. Making do without the vocal chops of the original he takes the main chord samples and works around those. Leon's version is a lot darker and hazier, less upbeat and yet still very groovy. Detroit-inspired organ stabs adorn this slow burner while a hypnotic bass line walks around the arrangement. This is just further proof that Leon Revol should be on your radar if he isn't already.

PREMIERE : DJ Aakmael - Dahlin (Leon Revol Remix)

The label Limbe discloses itself with its first release ‘Le Bord du Disque', a compilation of 4 French newcomers ready to take you on a journey between House, Acid and Lo-fi.
The Lyon-based trio Maisons Neuves starts the EP with the track 'Hoikiuna', seductive epic in homage to dolphins which dive straight in the middle of the ocean. The haunting and cyclic pads combined with the picky kicks wrap us up and make us lose all sense of space-time, we would never like to emerge.
Straight from Avignon, Name completes the A-side with 'Last Variation', a constantly evolving track juggling between Classic House and a sinuous psychedelic Acid. Over the course layers are overlaid and bring a variety of emotions that enhance the structure and keeps recalling us like a nagging drug on the rise.
The B-side starts with a slap and the title 'Sakuraï’ by S36 from Amiens. This mighty track shoot us off on the battlefield with its Acid melody and its sharp claps. Voluntarily erased pads complete the work by sending our brain far above, the separation of body and mind is in place.
It's the Parisian Puffin who gets to close the EP with 'How Fast Those Moments Flee' a track full of emotion that aim to continue the journey forever. The seductive vocals juggle with a guitar riff and catchy percussions, writing a melancholy story that you do not want to escape.
Limbe is the natural evolution of the webzine All In Electro co-founded in 2012 by Robin Thomas, that has always striven to give visibility to emerging talents from all over the globe.

There was a hustle in the arena as the people began to fill each seat with a purpose. It was a randy evening and there was an eager sense of expectation in the air. The curtains hung ominously across the large sprawling stage, it would appear to be far too grand for a man of little known professionalism and hype. However, he could dance. He could move with effortless precision and skill which would wow an audience ten times over, this was but small change to a dancer of the night who had earnt his stripes amidst much rougher circumstances. 

Nachtbraker is a producer who has moved from strength to strength across the last few years. His delicate attention to detail lends itself well to the superbly crafted club focussed music he has released previously. However, his new album sees him travel across a far wider spectrum than that of which we have seen previously.

Starting slowly with enticing clinking and tinkering as percussive instruments find their melodic feet, ‘Lamantin’s Dream’ is pure elegance. A delicate dance is performed as the notes catch their balance above groovy basslines and lo-fi undertones. The track creates heartwarming, on-top-of-the-world, bubbly daytime house rave energy and it is or pleasure to share this with you. 

Russian native, Anton Bogomolov aka Scruscru is back at it following his super successful ‘Romantik EP’ released on Minor Notes Recordings in 2018. Scruscru liberates listeners with soulful experimental beats and an array of notes, keys and sounds that come together with a glorious garage beat brewing just underneath the surface. Tranquil vocals lace the 2-step school house beat. It is safe to say, this records has been released at the perfect time of year, with its bouncy twinkling uplifting musical emotions, this EP will no doubt be forming part of my summertime playlist. 

Certified by none other than the exotic rhythm-seeking, Nomada Records, fresh out of Colombia. Since 2015, the label continue to deliver the best representation and variety of Latin American electronic music - so many beautiful crossings of genres and rhythms from artists such as Felipe Gordon, Discoholycs,  Nico Saavedra, 4004 plus more.The ’Cruise EP’ is a perfect fit for the label, the artwork, the musical themes and the crips production come together effortlessly. ‘Lamantin’s Dream’ carries us across the ocean on a bougie yacht into the middle of the Caribbean sea, surrounded by beautiful people, sunshine and good vibes.  We hope you enjoy as much as we do.

PREMIERE: Scruscru - Lamantin's Dream

We are exited to share this beautiful piece of music AND positive lesson in mindfulness from kora musician and electronic experimenter, John Haycock, featuring a poem about anxiety, written and read by author and councillor Joshua Fletcher. We are also proud to premiere this incredible video, animated by graphic designer Finn Black. 

John Haycock is one of four artists who recently won the Steve Reid Foundation’s prestigious inNOVAtion award for forward thinking emerging talent.  The Foundation, set up by Gilles Peterson, helps artists in need due to injury or illness, as well as providing mentorship and small financial grants for emerging talent. Trustees include Gilles himself, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), Sam Shepherd (Floating Points), Nick Woodmansey (Emanative), and Simon Goffe (Brownswood Recordings) amongst others.

John is a multi instrumentalist live looping artist passionate about affecting acoustic sounds with electronics. John’s primary instrument is the West African Kora (21 string Harp). He runs it through a series of electronic devices creating lush soundscapes & solid beats, before overlapping them with woodwind instruments.

As part of John’s mentorship from the Foundation he is working closely with Nick Emanative who is mixing / co-producing a forthcoming EP and assisting with its vinyl release. Previous inNOVAtion Awardee Sarathy Korwar (winner of the Aim Awards Best Independent Album award 2020 for the album ‘More Arriving’) has also contributed his talents to this project and will feature on a couple of tracks, whilst also helping to see its release.
