Pacific Rhythm is elated to announce the forthcoming release of “Exiles”, a deeply life-affirming and introspective four-tracker from one of electronic music’s most prolific duos, Frank & Tony. This EP also marks the first release from the pair outside of their own imprint Scissor & Thread in many years. Back in 2021 they approached us with the intention of contributing something that felt like a natural part of our catalog and it’s safe to say they arrived right at home.

“Exiles” further explores the dubby, subtle energy they’ve crafted since the project began in 2012 and refines it down to the pure essence of genre. It’s a deeply rewarding listen and we believe It’s a wonderful addition to the on-going soundscape we’ve been building for the last decade with Pacific Rhythm.

“Exiles” will be available on all streaming platforms this coming Saturday, October 28. A 12” vinyl version of the EP will follow in the coming weeks. More on that later!

Frank & Tony - Exiles EP

As winter is tightening its grip on Berlin, our mind wanders off to sunnier moments - dancing on the Adriatic cost line with some cold drinks in hands. To take you with us on that journey, we invited our good buddies from Longhair to host this month's episode of our podcast series with a very special live recording from Love International Festival 2023 Tisno, Croatia.

Longhair focuses on the perfect mix of various influences, the dark and light, the devilishly pumping and the harmoniously uplifting and commands a vast experience and ability to conjure truly magical makings.  

The workings of Longhair call upon powers of playfulness and the open mind. At it’s core lies the raw, untamable energy of the 90’s; lapped up first hand. These sentiments are then tempered with a myriad of musical knowledge and appreciation, that finds Longhair eloquently piecing together vibrations from disco and balearic, to trance and electro; but it doesn’t stop there. 

Wholly unpredictable with the spells chosen to cast, Longhair manages to strike a neat chord between alluring ecstasy and deeply emotive, somehow, introspective undertones. You may find nimble stabs, hip-thrusting snares and rousing synth grooves, waltzing with whimsical flutes, angelic arps, radiant arpeggios and other, indescript counterparts. Yet one thing is for certain, the undeniable sorcery makes it’s ever-growing discography a sure shot for many momentous dancefloor tonics.

We say thank you to our friends Bene and Marko for this wonderful contribution to our podcast series and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

In the second installment of Ly Sander's 'Landing' album samplers, a dynamic duality of organic and electronic elements takes center stage, fusing deep-seated emotions with pulsating dance music.

With its tribal undercurrent, this musical gem channels a timeless energy that seizes the senses and leaves an indelible mark.

In our premiere for today, Love Over Entropy offers a mesmerizing remix of 'Transcontinental Hippies,' infusing it with subtle acid notes that inject a sense of mystery into the already ethereal voyage.

PREMIERE: Ly Sander - Transcontinental Hippies (Love Over Entropy Remix) [Special Place]

Ambient melancholia and dream-like states for a December Monday.

Last month, our old friend Daneil Herrmann aka Flug 8 made a triumphant return to Ransom Note Records with his new album, Bermuda LP, his first release with us since 2020’s Electric Fields. Comprising nine ethereal tracks evoking the serene beauty of space, each piece sparkled like distant stars and cosmic ambiance. “A weightless experience akin to witnessing a celestial phenomenon,” propeling listeners beyond the asteroid belt, emerging through cosmic gas clouds.  Flug 8’s most ambitious and timeless work to date, we couldn’t not ask for his take on a ‘Monday Is OK’ mix for 2023.

INTERVIEW

Flug 8 - Monday Is OK Mixtape

In celebration of Datcha's ten year anniversary, this set from resident curator Thomas Von Party brings together a host of influences that will be familiar to Montrealers, from his acid house and techno roots as Turbo Recordings A&R, to his taste for the psychedelic other exemplified with his label Multi Culti, the emphasis is on fun, freedom, freakiness. There's also a big nod to Mr. Quinn aka @oldwalkingman of Paranoid London and Decius fame, the artist who TVP credits as being his go-to producer and most played artist of the past decade of Datcha. Pt. 1 of this epic all-night set is up now, pt. 2 coming soooon.

Live from Opium club 009: Manfredas

Blissed-out Andy Bell (aka our very own GLOK) guitar rework beauty of the Hardway Bros recent ace Smashing Pumpkins cover on Sean Johnston’s own imprint.

Outre-Mer, where the sea was pink, And the fish wore hats, what do you think?
They sang along with the flowing waves, As the Hardway Bros led a dance of raves.

In ’79, the clocks went haywire, Tick-tocking to a polka, setting minds on fire.
The sky was painted in neon hues, With psychedelic rainbows and sparkly blues.
 

Glok, the artist of the starry night, Spun remixes with pure delight.
The planets grooved in their orbits so, To the beats that made the galaxies glow.

So if you find yourself in ’79, In Hardway Bros, where the stars align,
Join the Reprise’s embrace, In Outre-Mer, the nonsense space.

Outre-Mer – heading for parts unknown to twist the nose of fate.

Hardway Bros - My Friends Remixes

PREMIERE: Hardway Bros - 1979 (Glok Remix Reprise) [Outre-Mer]

Neskeh: When I recorded this mix, I had the idea of traveling in the back of my mind. A 2-hour journey through my musical universe. I really tried to put a bit of everything I love into the music. From ambient to club stuff, rock or something a bit more melodic, I hope you'll enjoy my universe :)

Emerging artist from Lyon, Neskeh already stands out for his indie electronic, weird wave,post-punk and dark disco sets. 

Dissonant textures, tribal influences, provocative percussions - Neskeh loves to blend the beautiful with the strange.
