The Horrors - I Only Think Of You

FINALLY the time has come to re-release the first ever recordings by Belgian minimal synth masters Twilight Ritual. Released in 1982 in a tiny cassette edition this album has not been heard by many people. “The Ritual" includes some of their best work, from mysterious dark synthpopsongs (Elegy) to club music (Webb-men) and the epic 14-minute track (Up To Now).

Twilight Ritual was/is the main project by Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne. During the early eighties they were involved in many other bands including Autumn and Linear Movement (both re-released on Minimal Wave), but Twilight Ritual is by far the most inspired project. The spirit of the band lingers on beneath the work of Autumn through A Split Second and stands besides the best tracks of bands such as Oppenheimer Analysis and League Of Nations.

Twilight Ritual - Fading Me

DAF's "Als wär's das letzte mal" is one of our favourite tracks ever. Just pure perfection from Robert and Gabi. We got approached by Contubernio Records that wanted to release a CD with Covers from different bands. 

And we decided to cover this great track. Funnily enough, we realised that the lyrics from this DAF classic are very similar (inspired) by a classic song by Spanish singer Sara Montiel (Bésame Mucho). We took both inspirations and created this cover that somehow brings something new.

Slip out of your dress, my love
Let’s share a bottle of wine
Wade our feet in the river 
And then go swimming 
In the water we feel light

A drop of silver
Dripped off your chin
And you held me
In the summer once 
Am I still shimmering?

“Whole of the Moon”
And “Born to Run”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the middle of the night 
All by yourself, might I join?
We set off headlong
On a curious course
Just a couple of lovebirds
Flying somewhere warm

I wish we had met
When we were young
Would I have found you too impressive? 
I have always been 
The more delicate one

Holy hell
What age are we now?
Our friends are parents and married 
And things I still have yet 
To wrap my head around

We hollow out 
The whole of us
And lay our guts and secrets 
On a table built
Of ash and elephant tusks

Your fortune was read
And given on a Sunday
Said, “Dress your pain in diamond skirts and 
Rub your wounds
In salt and ginger”

“Heart of Glass”
And “Love Will Tear Us Apart”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the morning light

Have I ever said you’re my candle in the dark?
We set off headlong
On a curious course
We can be couple of lovebirds
Finding our way north

“One Day Like This”
and “I Melt With You”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the golden light 
Of the afternoon, and I will too
You’re a stubborn soul
And I’m a fragile man
Aren’t we a couple of lovebirds
With beautiful plans?

Missions - Subcreature (HD057)

Los Angeles-based electro-pop savant Missions makes his full-length debut with the momentous new Subcreature out August 2, 2019. Through the use of drum machines, synthesizers and electronic vocals, solo producer Josh Mills adds a rich emotional gradient and a fresh rhythmic step to the archetypal darkwave narrative as Missions. This impressive collection of addictive bass lines and smooth drum beats are produced and arranged with the proficiency of a polished studio engineer, while the core of Mills’ craftsmanship explores the shaded nuances of seduction and vulnerability. Subcreature is perfectly suited for both late-night dance floors and private listenings, with creative subtleties that peek through the hook-laden anthems and hopelessly romantic lyrics. The heartfelt songwriting and sculpted sound design on Subcreature reflect a unique interpretation of funk, new wave and early electronic music, making up the sophisticated language of Missions.   

Josh Mills was born and raised in Texas and spent the bulk of his adult life developing his craft within the dense synth community of Austin alongside bands like S U R V I V E and BOAN. Mills was brought up in a large family of music enthusiasts with a profound appreciation for dance music and pop culture of the ’80s and ’90s. Industrial, new wave, punk and hip-hop became dominant forces of his formative years and blossomed with the rise of music blogs in the early ’00s and his own college radio show. It was not long before Mills began playing in various bands ranging from disco-punk to shoegaze and honing his skills with electronics, eventually adopting the solo moniker Missions. Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2017, Mills has maintained a heavy collaborative side to his career, working with Emmy Award winning Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein as well as writing, producing and performing with Parisian pop starlet Lou Rebecca. Now on Subcreature, Mills has constructed infectious rhythms interspersed with moments of pure cinematic beauty, carefully mastering the intricate balance of style and technique.

Reminiscent of late ’70s and early ‘80s electro-boogie, the vocals of Missions are synthesized through a vocoder, injecting a vibrant groove into the often cold realm of contemporary dance music. The passionate lyrics on songs like “Spoken” and “M’aidez” have a tangible human quality veiled through slick electronics and thumping bass. In addition to his lush synth tones and driving sequences, one of the most significant characteristics of Missions’ sound is the heavy half-time swing of the drum programming. The beats on tracks “Dark Blak” and “Feelin’” reveal an intrinsic worldview with hip-hop and R&B ingrained into the fabric of his musical vocabulary. This infusion of bounce and swagger underlines the wistfully drab overtones of Subcreature’s ten tracks, making this record stylistically complex and intensely fascinating. Mills’ catchy melodies and clever arrangements are indicative of a brilliant pop talent with the lens of a skilled composer, showcasing a unique blend of influences that are both innovative and classic.

At its essence, Subcreature is a fun and compelling statement of originality within modern dance music. Mills has built a truly endearing identity and established Missions as a new cultural force majeure.

You, Only is a beguiling insight into the world of Turkish musician Ekin Üzeltüzenci and her debut release on Vaknar. 
The album features a series of musical tapestries which prominently include live instrumentation in tandem with Ekin’s own voice, all of which has been fed through a series of tape delays, giving the final outcome a brittle and reflective tone.

Track List:

A1 Ekin Fil - Hope
A2 Ekin Fil - Other, Others
A3 Ekin Fil - You, Only
A4 Ekin Fil - Arise
B1 Ekin Fil - Scar
B2 Ekin Fil - Incident Light

About Ekin Fil:

Nocturnal Frequencies White Series is a selection of evocative techno primarily heeding its metaphorical significance. All tracks are, in one way or another, in relation to landscape music. The key is the ambiance. Ambient music surely constitutes the essence of landscape music. This compilation is made of successive landscapes: from the sweetest to the hardest, from the darkest to the brightest, from the lightest to the most oppressive one. This is a journey to listen to in one go and thus, in the midst of each of these sound landscapes, the presence of a vague human shape shall be felt.
