VOID AND FORM (Introducing Joel Wells)

Shura - Just Once

84 BPM

On August 11th I'll be releasing my new song, Till Sunrise, which features vocals by Mammals. For this release I've decided to try something I'm calling "The Premix", and I'm really excited about it. Basically, you can download the vocal stem on Soundcloud and make your own remix before the song is even out.

The premix is an experiment. Remixes are a big part of the creative world I live in, and it has always been important to me to give up-and-coming producers the chance to work with my songs unencumbered. One thing that I've struggled with, though, is that when crafting a remix, you're bound in one way or another by the original track. Inevitably the song, its arrangement, and its instrumentation influence the remix. What I'm interested in here is seeing what happens when people remix a song without having actually heard that song. 

Today, I'm releasing the vocal stem to my new song "Till Sunrise", which I wrote with Mammals. The song comes out on August 11th, but what I can't wait to find out is how people choose to interpret these vocals having never heard the original song. This isn't a remix contest and there's no end goal. This is a musical experiment and hopefully a jumping off point for people to create a remix in a brand new way. 

If you or a friend decides to give this a go, that's great. I want to hear the results! Be sure to send them my way. Just tag your work with #thepremix and I'll post anything cool that comes my way. I'm sure I'll end up figuring out something cool to do with the most innovative interpretations, but for now I'm just excited to hear what happens!

Enjoy, and I can't wait for you all to hear the song when it comes out!

lyrics

I sleep with no voice and wake with no name
That’s just a noise the devil did make
Seventeen times in seventeen days
I can stay dry but I can hear rain

Say your goodbyes, fly away
Meet Lucifer’s eyes and hide your pain
Seventeen times in seventeen days
I can stay dry but I can hear rain
I can hear rain
I sleep with no voice and wake with no name

And I can’t see a way out
Devil’s taking me now
And I can’t see a way out
The devil’s taking me down

And I can’t see a way out
Devil’s taking me now
I sleep with no voice and wake with no name
I sleep with no voice and wake with no name

(I can’t see a way out
Devil is taking me now)

Horixon are London based outfit Andrew Armstrong and Joe Sambrooke. For their first few tracks they asked house vocalist legend Robert Owens and the enigmatic Jacques Teal to do the honours. The fit with Robert Owens on ‘Brighter Day’ was perfect, updating his delivery to something modern, as well as keeping it classic and referencing strongly the sound of early house. Same goes for ‘Great Things’: perfect match with the introspective vocals of Jacques Teal. The track is dreamy and melancholic, simply beautiful.

We invited Locked Groove to remix ‘Brighter Day’. Scuba himself signed him to Hotflush for his debut release and his remix of Duke Dumont’s ‘The Giver’ on Turbo received praise from respected names in the industry. More recently we’ve seen him broadening his sound on labels such as Permanent Vacation and John Talabot’s Hivern Discs released his long awaited remix of ‘It’s All over’ by Pional. His remix of ‘Brighter Day’ is pure magic and a perfect soundtrack to a never-ending night out in Berlin.

‘Great Things’ will be one of the many standout tracks on The Green Collection.

'12'  [ Demo ]

I made 12 with Robin Hannibal last year at Red Bull Studios London. Loved him since hearing Quadron's Average Fruit and although this track never made it onto 'Tough Love',  it was a joy to work with Robin finally. This is a song for my Sam and I hope you like it, play it late and go kiss someone x

Produced by Robin Hannibal & Salva.

I Gave It All

‘When I arrived in Rennes I was determined
to become a musician by any means, not only
because it is music that makes me feel alive, but
also because music is the only thing I can do
properly. I wrote this song as a prayer towards
anyone who could help me become the person I
am today- I didn’t know at the time that my wish
would be fulfilled that fast.’ - Clarens

The track, produced by Yuksek and JS Le Gouic (Juveniles, is the follow-up to debut single ‘Trust’, released earlier this year via the label’s 1st anniversary compilation "Partyfine Vol.1"

I Turn My Arm

GAZELLE TWIN - I TURN MY ARM

MNQ 034 VARIOUS - THE END OF CIVILIZATION LP

Mannequin has the dual and parallel aim to unearth hidden or unpublished gems, running along a road that starts from the period of reference for this kind of music (late 70s – mid 80s) and comes to nowdays, with a vision deeply influence by Factory Records / 4AD labels.

Catching the same spirit of such great labels, we asked to the italian synth wave princess Mushy to create a compilation starting from a tabula rasa. The mission was hard. Following her tastes and heart, she had to select a dozen of new bands from all over the world with unreleased and unique for this project tracks, picking up the title and realizing the graphic design and artwork. The full process of "The End Of Civilization" took almost 1 year but the result was touching us ￼deep into our soul.

Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth sound, having both "Faded Heart" (2011) and "Breathless" (2012) as album of the week at Rough Trade. "The End Of Civilization" perfectly represents her double sided synth-wave / kraut-psychedelic soul. Every track she selected for us is an absolute highlight, moving from the analog minimal / cold wave sounds of Police Des Moeurs, ASSS, The Circa Tapes, TEEEL and Rosemary to the tempestuous post punk and psychedelia of Deathday, The Murder Act, Phosphor and The Strange Forces, ending with spectral cold folk of Tablets and The Long Wives.

- Limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl 
- Digital distribution by The Orchard 
- Exclusive unreleased tracks 
- Artist Selection and graphic design by Mushy
