Expire
Skin me
Scalp me
Take me higher
To the perfect cliff top
Where i can see
My pitiful life
Flash before me
Hanging on
Always seemed so wrong
Always dreaming
Of a perfect death song
A lamenting lullaby
A lute for a lurgy
A slow release
My soul deserts me

Qual - Take Me Higher (DJ STOEK Edit)

Entras a un lugar inesperado,
la vision se parte;
te observan espaldas,
sus rostros son claros.

Es irreal todo lo que ves, 
pero no tienes a qué
más aferrarte.

Creo que se parece a la muerte…
pero, siempre hay algo más que vive.
¿o no?

muerte

For its newest record, Public Release soars over the Atlantic and glides into Greece to convene with two brothers from Thessaloniki, Christos and Fotis Papadakis, for Cosmic Swimmer, a gentle, lilting sunbleached house escapade.

The 12-inch opens with their soft and cushy original mix of “Cosmic Swimmer”, a charmed layer cake of round, full-bodied hand drums, airy pads, and washed-out vocal harmonies. A breezy, wide-open endless groove that ambles along at a not-too-slow, not-too-fast Goldilocks pace that will easily keep you undulating on the floor or in your head. Another pair of brothers, the Soulwax boys, making a very rare, celebrated appearance here, take the reigns and fill out the arrangement by wrapping it all up in some stone-cathedral euphoric resonance and injecting it with their trademark finger-plucked bass struts. One of their top remixes ever? Perhaps.

The hot potato is then passed to New York City’s Kim Ann Foxman for her take, a more urgent and pressed affair that swaps the organic elements for jittery programmed percussion, strobed effects, and brittle synth licks, all the while somehow keeping the dusting of Balearic feel-good presence intact. Finally, Eric “Dr. Dunks” Duncan jumps into the frame with a tough love acid- flecked interpretation that thrusts the record into peak-hour rave territories.

For the digital edition, a bonus is offered, a peppy, saucy Hi-NRG piano number that has echoes of late-80s New Order. A carefree, cheeky encore that caps off the party with a bolt of electricity.

DIRK DESAEVER - COLLECTED 1984 - 1989 (Cassette)

Musique Pour La Danse is thrilled to present its latest anthology, the label’s most ambitious release since it the extensive anthology of music produced by the late New Beat pioneer Ro Maron back in 2015.

This time label managers Olivier Ducret (Muriaux, CH) and Ed Isar (Paris, FR) have focused on another essential Belgian producer: Dirk Desaever, the man behind White House White, A Thunder Orchestra and Danton’s Voice. Rare and sought after, his records fetch high prices among collectors. Some of his productions under these aliases have appeared in crucial compilations such Geert Sermon’s Sound of Belgium, Minimal Wave’s Hidden Tapes as well as Walhalla’s Underground Wave, along with edits by Mick Wills for Biorythm and Marcel Dettman for Dekmantel.

What was initially supposed to be a simple reissue affair soon turned into a much wider project, as Desaever shared heaps of amazing unreleased material with the label. It seemed much more interesting to shed light on the dark (more shadowy, wicked etc.. – pour ne pas utiliser dark) side of this producer’s body of work.

After listening to noisy tape rips over and over, Ducret & Isar opted to break this release down in three formats (EP, LP distributed via NEWS and a cassette exlcusive via the label), each one with different content. They entrusted sound engineer Lorenzo Targhetta with remastering the music and it’s impressive how much he managed to polish the sound without altering the unmistakable grain of music committed to cassette tape.

THE CASSETTE (100% unreleased content)
The cassette version of Collected 1984 - 1989 is 100% unreleased, with a focus on a more vocal / new wave / synth pop / bedroom EBM aspect of Dirk Desaever's works, that kinda asked to be released on this specific format, and urged to be played on an walkman while walking in the city during sunset, or cruising on the Belgian motorway in your car stereo.

PREMIERE | Pletnev - My Words Against Yours (Sascha Funke Remix) [Hard Fist] 2019

@DemiRiquisimo is returning to his in-house imprint, Semi Delicious, with his second EP and ready to pick up where he left off with the aptly titled ‘Mysterious EP’, dropping today (3rd May 2019). The only vinyl release imprint saw his first EP lock in huge support from names like Optimo, Rex The Dog, Horse Meat Disco, Theo Kottis, Skream, Loods, Auntie Flo, Simian Mobile Disco and Tensnake, and even a coveted premiere on BBC Radio 1 by Pete Tong himself, while this one did not fail to get the attention of the infamous BBC1 “Danny Howard” claiming that he knew little about Demi but quite literally he would have played all the four tracks after receiving this EP in his inbox.

Opening with Pa De Chevaux, the chugging Bootsy Collins-style topline bass works in harmony with the vocal sample to create something so deliciously funky that you’ll still be moving long after the track ends. Fans of A Lifetime On The Hips are in for a treat on A2 as Certified revives the former’s stomping 4/4 kick and delivers one of the naughtiest modulated acid-arp basslines to ever grace the dancefloor. Enter lush chords, dreamy vocal sampling and wonderfully pacey hi-hats, and you’ve got one of the EP’s strongest tracks.

On the B-side, the quality doesn’t let up and you’re reminded that each track could easily be the lead. The title track, Mysterious, is a clear follow-up to Sarong Song with the perfect combination of acid basslines, 808 kicks and an array of live strings, organs, and horns mixed in to pack plenty of punch. Tagine Machine leads with an afro-centric percussive intro before delving into the depths of tough, synth-laden electro-disco. Inspired by a trip to Morocco and the sights and sounds that the souks of Marrakesh are filled with, Tagine Machine reflects the breadth of Demi’s musical inspiration. Bringing together elements of acid, disco, house and everything in-between, Demi Riquísimo once again demonstrates why he’s quickly becoming one of the most exciting talents on the scene.

Release Date - 03/05/19

PREMIERE – Demi Riquísimo – Tagine Machine (Semi Delicious)

Gaarden are an international (read: Russian & Estonian) Dream Punk band founded in 2018. 

After a dramatic loss of friend and former band member Yareek (r.i.p.) the band were inspired to create, in memoriam, their interpretation of the shoegaze, dreampop, and post punk sound they'd heard in years past.

gaarden - shiny day

DRAFT 9/30

One thing you won’t be able to avoid on Bambara’s Stray is death. It’s everywhere and inescapable, abstract and personified  – perhaps the key to the whole record. Death, however, won’t be the first thing that strikes you about the group’s fourth – and greatest – album to date. That instead will be its pulverising soundscape; by turns, vast, atmospheric, cool, broiling and at times – on stand out tracks like “Sing Me To The Street” and “Serafina” – simply overwhelming.
 
Bambara – twin brothers Reid and Blaze Bateh, singer/guitarist and drummer respectively, and bassist William Brookshire – have been evolving their midnight-black noise into something more subtle and expansive ever since the release of their 2013 debut Dreamviolence. That process greatly accelerated on 2018’s Shadow On Everything, their first on New York’s Wharf Cat Records and  a huge stride forward for the band both lyrically and sonically. 
 
The album was rapturously received by the press, listeners and their peers. NPR called it a “mesmerising...western, gothic opus,” Bandcamp called the "horror-house rampage" "one of the year's most gripping listens," and Alexis Marshall of Daughters named it his “favorite record of 2018.”  Shadow also garnered much acclaim on the other side of the Atlantic. Influential British 6Music DJ Steve Lamacq, dubbed them the best band of 2019’s SXSW, and Joe Talbot of the UK band IDLES said, "The best thing I heard last year was easily Bambara and their album Shadow On Everything."  The question was though, how to follow it?
 
To start, the band did what they always do: they locked themselves in their windowless Brooklyn basement to write. Decisions were made early on to try and experiment with new instrumentation and song structures, even if the resulting compositions would force the band to adapt their storied live set, known for its tenacity and technical prowess. Throughout the songwriting process, the band pulled from their deep well of creative references, drawing on the likes of Leonard Cohen, Ennio Morricone, Sade, classic French noir L’Ascenseur Pour L’Echafraud, as well as Southern Gothic stalwarts Flannery O’Connor and Harry Crews.
 
Once the building blocks were set in place, they met with producer Drew Vandenberg, who mixed Shadow On Everything, in Athens, GA to record the foundation of Stray. After recruiting friends Adam Markiewicz (The Dreebs) on violin, Sean Smith (Klavenauts) on trumpet and a crucial blend of backing vocals by Drew Citron (Public Practice) and Anina Ivry-Block (Palberta) Bambara convened in a remote cabin in rural Georgia, where Reid laid down his vocals.
 
The finished product represents both the band's most experimental and accessible work to date. The addition of Citron and Ivory-Block’s vocals create a hauntingly beautiful contrast to Bateh’s drunken baritone on tracks like “Sing Me to the Street”, “Death Croons” and “Stay Cruel," while the Dick Dale inspired guitar riffs on “Serafina” and "Heat Lightning" and the call-and-response choruses throughout the album showcase Bambara’s ability to write songs that immediately demand repeat listens.
 
While the music itself is evocative and propulsive, a fever dream all of its own, the lyrical content pushes the record even further into its own darkly thrilling realm. If the songs on Shadow On Everything were like chapters in a novel, then this time they’re short stories. Short stories connected by death and its effect on the characters in contact with it. “Death is what you make it” runs a lyric in “Sweat,” a line which may very well be the glue that binds the pages of these stories together.

LWCA is the investigation of love as a mass phenomenon transformed in a routine of meaningless images by a poetical practice.
LWCA is the dramatic story of the eternal fight between a fragile human being and a society that doesn’t live love because love dominates it.
LWCA is a suffered warning.
LWCA is a loud shout.
LWCA is a violent rebellion.

Love has always had its absolute, strict, seducing rules.
Its dictatorship has been coming back since ever.
It will come back forever.

Second single from the album to be released the 01/24/2020.

"Lonely Walk comes back throwing all their forces in a third album, after "Teen" went out on Born Bad records in 2015.
10 songs composed between Trump's election and the death of the first Yellow Vest, mixing to perfection traditional post-punk like The Sound / Magazine, with a modern sound as Total Control, propelled by Jérôme Vetter's massive production. No doubt the strongest and evident titles the band has ever written."

Shadow of the Time

"Soft Dance" is the second single from the 'Person' album out on 3/6!

About the 'Person' LP by P.E.

Person is the debut from NYC's P.E., a band born of the city's art-punk underground and dedicated to freaky experimentation. Comprising Veronica Torres, Jonathan Campolo, and Benjamin Jaffe (all of the beloved and freshly defunct Pill) alongside Jonathan Schenke and Robert Jones of the electronic/art-rock favorite Eaters, P.E. features some of NYC's most notable experimental voices. Early shows were entirely improvisational, allowing the group to develop a collaborative chemistry that led to an equally free-form recording process. 

The resulting LP displays the group’s collective experience writing memorable songs, matched with a dedication to tearing them apart at the seams. Recorded at Schenke's Studio Windows, Person holds the spark of P.E.'s early improvisations in its clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colorful dystopian poetry. The group's natural language results in a sonic lexicon reflecting the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly, and fun. Sold and packaged with a tender tone, this is music for fully-formed persons aware of their ideological discrepancies. Turn on the human music of the 21st century.

“Soft Dance” Lyrics

A soft dance
-Night drive alone with you-
Laughing our heads off.

Touch my face and I'll sing you a song,
though your heart may be broken.

We dance to forget out heads,
We dance to lose our heads.

We are just passing through...
We are just passing through.

A soft dance
-I’d rather contemplate abstract thoughts with you - 
And I'm also good with color. 

A soft dance
We dance to lose our heads,
We dance to forget our heads

Ohhh and don't forget to have a good time!
Laughing our heads off!
Tripping our heads off!

Held out for days but I've fallen at the crux
I could read it out now but the meaning's all but lost

Trembling in the shadows
Constantly heavy and hollow

We could walk along the edge and tell each other what it's worth
It's only natural to worry about the truths you'll unearth

Trembling in the shadows
From malevolent plagues of Apollo

The underlying thought isn't definite or true
It's hard to relax when they're calling out for you

Trembling in the shadows
Constantly heavy and hollow

The underlying thought isn't definite or true
It's hard to relax when they're calling out for you

I get a lot done when the pressure is on
But I can't be expected to relate
To every fucking thing on your plate

Robot's Call - Me And A Box (from the new album 'Horizon Perdu')

“I put my heart and soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.” – Vincent Van Gogh


The painter who admitted himself to a mental asylum created many beautiful works of art.
Even though suffering through anxiety, & being mentally unstable, had a cool dark sense of humor.
He would go to calmer environments to work in but still went into depressive states.
The beauty that comes out of such darkness is what draws me to him, I liked how late he started in his years to start painting but also that he never gave up besides having a  troubled life.
