A bit of a ridiculously long version of a remix I did for a friend - never quite finished it! Probably never will, so here it is!

By 10 mins in, you've probably got the idea..!

Amirah (Live at UNICEF Fundraiser)

This set is a tribute to our inspirational journey through the middle east. From the Emirati desert, to the white mountains of Teheran, from the island of the Persian Gulf to the peninsula of the Mediterranean coast. We thank the people and artists that we have met through this amazing trip. 
Life is full of surprises and we are looking forward to go fly back there to play and discover more.

Australia’s Shahara-Ja cut his sole record ‘I’m An Arabian Knight’ in Sydney back in ’89. A deep blend of electronic funk and Middle-Eastern keys. The mysterious Shahara-Ja was a regular on Sydney’s wedding and Nightclub scene when his record was originally distributed. Unfortunately, the release gained little momentum and subsequently most of the stock was destroyed. Fast forward 27 years and the release has quickly garnered cult status since being exposed to the international stage through a handful of mixes.

DE 1988

Recorded two weeks ago in my bedroom/studio using electric guitar and various effects. The only 'Twin Peaks' inspired track I'll ever make, which will soon find it's way on a special release dedicated to a person who is very fond of David Lynch.

Souq Eleven by Tuğçe Kurtiş

Having spent seven years in his adopted home of London steadily crafting a hazy, ambiguous identity that fuses ambient onto drone and techno, Tom Hang (aka Lobster Theremin boss Jimmy Asquith) finally steps up the the plate with 'To Be Held In A Non Position' - a melded one-take LP that explores extended themes of isolation, loneliness, personal loss, disconnection and reconnection with reality and (self)-identity.

Through his long-lost label Tidy Bedroom - on which 'To Be Held In A Non Position' will be released - Tom Hang engages in a more introspective path, exploring sonic territories that find an echo with dislocated past experiences, pushing physical and psychic boundaries to get at the crux of intimacy.

The landscape laid out is a digitised, plasticised and roughened version of real life experiences. A reflection of the physical harshness, coldness and a detached non-position that comes with the dislocating of the individual from both social connections and reality itself. Told through a prism tinted with personal difficulty, it's scorched harsh extremities waft in and out of view around more subtle tones and textural elements. A phasing in and out of the real world, from the perspective of the individual and the anxiety-driven hive-mind we have become so dependent upon.

Tom Hang's previous releases have come via London experimental powerhouse Where To Now?, with an effusive live cassette, 'Tidy Bedroom Versions 2009-2013', released in February 2015. Later followed by an organic, textural techno EP 'The New World' released via the same imprint in September 2016.

Swap is proud to present the new EP of Nomenklatür, which includes 2 originals tracks 'Minautor In The Lost' and 'Scripto Continum' and also 3 remixes by Samuel Brunel, and the label owners Redj and Zecapx.

French electro duet Nomenklatür is fruit of the meeting in 2005 between Olivier Brucker and Olivier Rossi during Kurbel night organized 5 years ago at the Ostgut's club in Berlin. Two characters with different backgrounds merge and give birth to an original style that investigates the dark face of the techno, distils a fluid and massive electro sound that surrounds you with a synthetic dance universe.

Nomenklatür describes the process in detail: We've first received some voices from Gigi Succes the singer on Aerobic (the project formed by David Carretta). We wanted to make ambiances and modulating sounds around the voices with external sources to create an organic listening experience. We wanted to keep something growing in a cyclical process in order to be efficent in the dancefloor and to get in the mood of old raves.

The 2 originals tracks are recorded with external sources and self-produced sounds using Korg synths (MS 20 & 800 DV), pieces of a drum kits from Elektron Machine Drum, Microwave of Waldorf and a modular rack to create and also hardware treatment effects.

This release includes 3 remixes: Samuel Brunel delivers a Techno remix of 'Minautor In The Lost' and Redj constructed a pur cyclical version of this same original track. To close this release, Zecapx explores the darker side of things with a deep and atmospheric version of 'Scripto Continum'.

Enjoy it!
