Radio Oedipus Birthday Set

8 months after the release of Second Nature, Tigersushi presents a rich and diverse collection of remixes from the acclaimed album that proposed to redefine our relationship to Nature.
This is an occasion for Joakim, who hand-picked all the remixers here, to bridge the gap between generations, genres and eras as he always likes to do. You’ll find a wide spectrum of artists on the leftfield and avant-garde side of electronic music, from all around the world : some pioneers and legends, some young upcoming talents and some unsung heroes of the underground.
The goal was also to create a remix album that is not just a collection of club bangers but rather a consistent record that you can listen to from start to finish.

808 State surprised us with an amazing free-form electronic Jazz version of Kepler-39 proving that you can still re-invent yourself after more than 30 years of outstanding releases.

JOAKIM - Kepler - 39 (808 State Remix)

Soft Movements

"Writing an album gave me the opportunity to expand what I was making beyond the club, and I found myself returning to the world of some of the earliest sketches I made for Wordcolour. In these experiments, I was kind of trying to create "scenes". Tracks which had the emotional tone and texture of a scene from a movie, but without the visuals or the narrative. Kind of like how it feels to fall asleep in front of an episode of the X files or something."

"This track features some amazing percussion work by Michael Anklin. I came across Michi's work on his brilliant collaborative record with Kilchhofer on the Marionette label. I asked Michi to record a number of different textures and improvisations for me which I would then cut up and reorder. I remember the day the first recordings arrived I had such a big smile on my face, and this track really showcases his work on the record."

"I also worked with my friend Es Morgan to create a long list of beautiful, evocative words which I then recorded, cut up, and used throughout the record. On Crescent, I arranged the words to try to create the hint of a narrative. I'll leave you to see if you can figure out what is happening: a strange and vivid moment in the forest."

Barbie Bertisch - Water Moves Slowly

Following a CD-only release in Japan in 2021, legendary downtempo producer Calm finally releases his Before album on vinyl and digital courtesy of Hell Yeah. The 10-track record is a slow-burning Balearic beauty.

Calm aka Kiyotaka Fukagawa has never been to the White Isle, but he sure knows how to capture its musical essence. He has done so over a long and storied career that has taken in 17 albums and some 35 EPs on many labels including this one over the last 20-plus years. His unique blend of ambient, jazz and leftfield was last showcased on this label in 2018 with his By Your Side album, and now he does it again with another timeless and escapist offering.

The record was written, arranged, mixed and produced by Calm, but with gorgeous musical embellishments, trumpets, flutes, saxophones, violins, bass and keys played by friends and guests like Shiba, Sinsuke Fujieda, Fumiko Takeshita, Tomokazu Sugimoto, Yuichiro Kato and Toshitaka Shibata. Tracks from it have already had support from Cosmo Coleen Murphy on Worldwide FM, while Phil Mison says it is "100% reminiscent of an old Café Del Mar or José Padilla record." He is not wrong.

As soon as the opening chords of 'Beauty on Earth' wash over you there is no escaping the naturalistic charm and beauty of this record. 'Long Summer Dream' layers mystic wind sounds and gentle percussive patterns into suspensory bliss, 'Blue in Void - 限りなく透明に近い青' is a plaintive moment of sombre sax and pensive piano, then 'Liminal Moment - 目を閉じて見えるもの' awakens the soul with its gorgeous flute lines and looping arps.

There is perfect horizontal sunset house on 'I Love You - 月がきれいですね,' 'Feel It' picks up the pace with seductive saxophone motifs and psychedelic synth loops and 'Before Sunrise Blue - あたたかい青' is crushing downtempo melancholia. 'Kunpoo - 薫風' reawakens you with leggy bass and expansive synths that reach for the heavens, while 'Freedom Sunset' is an epic 10-minute journey out to sea. Lastly, 'Let's Make Harmony' is super slow motion jazz-funk that swells the heart.

Before is a superb album that is well-deserving of this double vinyl pressing and is sure to become a Balearic classic.
