Joints & Jams w/ Beat Pete - August 2021

When we look back in time, it seems like yesterday when we started having clandestine parties in the backyard of an old house or illegal raves in public parks in Buenos Aires. Today, a decade later, Playground has established itself as a respected squad based in Barcelona, a record label with a strong back catalog of over 50 releases, and a family of artists spanning the globe.

10 years have passed since this beautiful adventure started and we want to celebrate it as we like best… Dancing.Get ready because the celebration plan will be huge!We will be holding parties in different cities around the world, and following the path started by the launch of 9 years, we present a new compilation with a line up full of great artists and dear friends who faithfully represent our history and our present... Lauer, Juan MacLean, Man Power, Rodion & Mammarella feat. Hugosan, Elfenberg, Anatolian Weapons, Roe Deers, Zillas On Acid, Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï, Balam, BĘÃTFÓØT & Geopard Tourist, Deux Control, Alvaro Cabana & JackWasFaster, Jason Peters, DELLA & Martin Noise, Mishell feat. Vongold, Fernanda Arrau, Nahuel & Kuunde, Marzian & Ricardo Ruben, John Parsley, Neskeh… Yes, a fucking dream team!

At the end of the day, all life is defined by its actions. We are what we do, it is often said. Okay…. This is what we do, this is who we are. We are Playground: We make people dance.

El Continental (Joe Morris Beatdown Reprise)

PREMIERE : Desert Island Disco - El Continental (Joe Morris Beatdown Reprise) (Shades Of Sound)

Here in Bastard Jazz Land, we release a lot of music. It can be overwhelming to keep up – so we’ve rebooted our old “Hear No Evil” compilation for a new 4th volume to feature some of our favorite recent catalog releases. The compilation has a little bit of everything that makes Bastard Jazz what it is as a label - cosmic jazz, instrumental hip-hop, future r&b, psychedelic beats, fuzzed out funk, deep house and more. Vibes on vibes from our proudly 23 years strong Brooklyn based record label.

Various Artists - Hear No Evil Volume 4 - 05 Yoh & Carrtoons - Indigo (Potatohead People Remix)

DC Promo Tracks #1449: "The Pop" (Vocal Version) by Daniel T & Woolfy is part of the release "The Pop" on T83 @danieltmusic  @woolfy_official

Pre-Order: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/danieltwoolfy/the-pop

“Daniel T teams up with Woolfy to create a solid west-coast groover with hip-hop rhythms along with sleazy analog synth work from D-Hastie of Projections/Say She She.”

The last summer holiday weekend is approaching, and Daniel T has you covered. His third single of the year, “The Pop,” is a laid-back collaboration with beard-disco icon, Woolfy. It’s an ice-cold smoothie of Moog funk, hip-hop, downtempo disco, and island funk, with a splash of Perrier. The song pulls influence from the likes of The Neptunes, Gorillaz, Compass Point All-Stars, and Summer Madness.

Woolfy delivers enticing, gravelly vocals, gently inviting you to give him all your time. The swagger behind his choice of words is suggestive, without taking things too far — Take me to The Pop.

Personnel:
Beat and instrumental production: Daniel T
Vocals and words: Woolfy
Lead synth: Dan Hastie
Rhodes: Jamie McNiel

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-melquiades-morning-breeze

"Morning Breeze" is as gentle and languid as the title suggests. Blissful piano chords and floating synthesizers drift somnolently over a steady, mid-tempo pulse: it's the sonic equivalent of a Sunday morning lie-in.

James Place "Still Waves to a Whisper"
LP & Digital © 2019 Umor Rex Records
www.umor-rex.org

James Place returns with a new EP Still Waves To A Whisper (fourth release on Umor Rex). Flitting between the dreamworld of hauntological synth music and hypnotic techno functionality, Still Waves To Whisper showcases James Place's continuing development of dramatic (and varied) sound worlds.

Musically, Still Waves To A Whisper contains both some of the most immediately danceable and straight up beautiful tracks of James Place's career. Utilising voice samples from the same source as his last album, Voices Bloom, opener 'Known Cry' is a heavenly coda of sunlight bursting through clouds, warm synths drifting across restrained pulses. 'Timing and Lighting' went through countless live iterations before the current version was tracked for this album, a tunneling exploration of rhythm with a dose of sardonic humor. 'Move In Blue (Homeward Mix)' is James Places' rework of a track from 2017's Voices Bloom, obsessively remixed and revisited, here littered with additional melodies and populated by newly sampled voices. Closing track 'Names' is perhaps the most outright beautiful James Place recording to date. A stripped back rework of a live version of Living On Superstition’s 'Another Mourning In America', the tune is based on a melodic line written after the studio recorded version. Interwoven with a sampled vocal, and rinsed of all of the original song, 'Names' is left behind a stark and compelling descendant. The digital release includes a remix of 'Move In Blue' by Persuasion aka Devon Hansen. 

The title, Still Waves To A Whisper, stems from a conversation between Place and another artist on methods to ease anxieties and the benefits of a focused practice. The hope's for this music to continue that conversation on a larger scale. 

All songs written, produced and recorded by Phil Tortoroli between 2015—2018 in Brooklyn, NY. Vocals by Sam Sally and an unknown guest.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY. Photos & Design by Daniel Castrejón.

Kangding Ray . Pruitt Igoe
12’’ E.P.

Pruitt Igoe is a 4 track E.P on which both Alva Noto and Ben Frost have been invited by Kangding Ray to produce sonic variations on a contemporary architectural myth.

The EP’s title Pruitt Igoe is taken from a gigantic social housing project, completed in 1955 in the U.S. City of St Louis, Missouri, and often regarded as a symbol of the modernist architecture failure. Designed according to the principles of modernism, and by the same architect who would later build the World Trade Center, the project saw a disastrous and violent decline after only a few years, plagued with vandalism and massive criminality, leading to its complete destruction from 1972 onwards. Footage of its demolition are visibly featured in the 1983 movie “Koyaanisqatsi”, scored by Phillip Glass.

Pruitt Igoe is more than a post-modern icon, it represents an ancestral movement of hope and disillusion, of perfectly planned models and evaporated dreams. It serves as a judicious metaphor for our era, where the feeling of imbalance and doubt has replaced the certainity of eternal progress and endless economical growth. 

This movement is reflected by the two sides of the record: on the A side, the original track and its remodel by Alva Noto, both represent the planning and construction phase, based on a clear structure and a hypnotic loop of women chanting in the streets of a small town in North India. On the B-side, Ben Frost and Kangding Ray undertake the demolition process - slicing beats, destroying structures and emphasising the beauty of collapse.
