the vocals, drums, composition and sound recording here are amazing. I'm looking for such voices. my dream is to create such projects using my rich musical experience and the ability to unite talented groups and musicats in new projects so that people know and see that art is alive and that the world is still ruled by beauty and the magic of the soul!

this is a great idea, really well executed musically and it looks fantastic as well! thanks for bringing this into the world!

Such a fucking great album, one of the best records of the year.

Paramida, the hostess and DJ behind Salon Zur Wilden Renate's renowned Paradisco Parties,
launches her new label "Love On The Rocks" with a classic time-bender, which takes us once more on
a night trip beyond the deepest galaxies, courtesy of fellow Paradisco Resident Massimiliano Pagliara.
Keeper of the vintage analog sound-waves Massimiliano Pagliara is back with another inimitable
House ballad. „Flying Away From You“ gives a voice to all the broken hearts that still feel attached to
the ones they fell in love with. But the end of something is always a start of something new. Driven by
a cosmic lead melody and the ethereal voice of Heidi Diehl, we spread our wings to take off and leave
the past behind. Contrasting the female lead voice stands Massimiliano with his own half-spoken
performance, backed by his long time friend and lyrics co-writer Jules Etienne.
The record comes with an Instrumental version on the flip side and a Dub mix will be released as a
digital exclusive.
Those who don’t believe in magic, will never find it. – Oh, yes, we do!

Flying Away From You (Vocal Mix_Snippet)

LENG SHOP - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/

Having first joined forces in 2021 for the simultaneously sleazy and sweet ‘Dance Par Amour’ – a typically analogue-rich chunk of electronic disco wonkiness with nods to both dub disco and leftfield early ‘80s synth-pop – The Emperor Machine and Severine Mouletin have returned to Leng with a similarly inspired sequel.
 
By now, you should all know the work of Andy Meecham as The Emperor Machine; since first utilising the pseudonym two decades ago, Meecham has delivered a swathe of acclaimed albums and singles for D.C Recordings, Southern Fried Records, Internasjonal, Vertical Tones and Skint. Since first appearing on Leng last year, Meecham has focused on collaborating with vocalists – something he often shied away from when it came to Emperor Machine material.
 
‘Your Own Style’, which does a terrific job in showcasing rising star Mouletin’s intriguing lyrics and tender but confident vocals, is another strong Emperor Machine release. Showcasing many of the stylistic ticks that have long marked out his work (not just as a solo producer, but also as part of Chicken Lips), it once again boasts a suite of alternative versions – as well as additional guitar trickery from legendary A Certain Ratio musician Martin Moscrop.
 
The EP is led by Meecham’s ‘Alt Mix’, where Mouletin’s distinctive vocals, warming electric piano motifs and wild, proto-house style vintage synth sounds ride a hand-percussion rich groove marked out by a typically addictive, ear-catching electronic bassline. With Meecham reaching for the tape echo and delay (an aural hallmark of his productions and reflective of his love of dubbed-out electronic disco), the track is a sparse, mind-altering chunk of new wave-informed mid-tempo electronic disco. 
 
It comes backed by two distinctive dubs in Meecham’s trademark style. There’s a ‘Dub Vocal’ mix in which selected snippets of Mouletin’s bi-lingual vocal rise and fall around a subtly tougher, spaced-out take on Meecham’s musical arrangement smothered in effects, and a ‘Fun Dub’ that’s altogether sweeter, more playful, informed by electro (one of Meecham’s earliest musical loves) and high on additional percussion, warming Rhodes riffs and Chicken Lips-esque synthesiser flourishes.
 
Those who buy the digital edition of the EP also get two more mixes: Meecham’s original ‘Extended Vocal’ and ‘Extended Instrumental’ takes. Slightly warmer and hazier than the EP-leading ‘Alt Mix’ and boasting a more obvious electro shuffle, these two takes are every bit as alluring and ear-catching as those showcased on the vinyl version.

The Emperor Machine & Séverine Mouletin - Your Own Style (Alt Mix)

Wandering through the twilight, he looked up at the moon so very far away and wondered what it might be like to soar. He had always dreamt of careering through the clouds, beyond into the darkness so as to escape from the chaos and strife of the world down here below. It would be ever so magic.

He wondered what others would think of his wild, reckless fantasies. What would they think of his strange longing to leave it all behind? Would they think he was crazy or bewildered...

In the distance he saw a flyer framed in a shop window. It was illuminated by a faint, flickering glow.

'Are you psychic?' is what it read.

Arp Deco - Breeze (Joe Morris Remix)

Youth Stand Up!

Youth Stand Up! is a collaborative recording project between Glasgow’s Green Door Studio, Lebeha Drumming Center in Hopkins, Belize, and the Tafi Cultural Institute based in Tafi Atome, Ghana. The results of the collaboration will be a ten track album released on Autonomous Africa in autumn 2015. All proceeds from the Youth Stand Up! album sales will be split between Tuteme Band, Belize and Tafi Cultural Institute’s fund to build their recording studio and cultural centre.

The aim of the project was to see what would happen if young musicians from opposite sides of the world were given the opportunity to cook up a musical melting pot of West African, Caribbean, and contemporary Glaswegian music. When Green Door Studio’s Emily MacLaren approached JD Twitch from Optimo Music/Autonomous Africa with the idea of an international album project involving musicians spread across three different continents he said he would happily release the results.

The studio recruited a total of 11 young musicians from Glasgow bands such as Golden Teacher, Whilst, Psychic Soviets, and Froth to work with 7 young Ghanaian musicians making Hiplife and Borborbor music and 5 young Belizian musicians from Tuteme Band, who played traditional Garifuna music at Lebeha Drumming Center. The Glaswegian musicians came from a variety of musical backgrounds including electronic music, post punk, and free jazz, with the youngest still studying music at school.

While Ghana’s rich history of Highlife music is well documented, the traditional Borborbor music of the Volta region, where Tafi Atome is situated, has not been given much exposure. And in Belize, the traditional rhythms of the Garifuna Afro Caribbean community fuse ancestral West African roots with Latin American energy. The Ghanaian and Belizean musicians, whilst practicing traditional BorBorBor and Garifuna rhythms, also shared a strong passion for Jamaican Dancehall and international Hip Hop.

* Pre-order: https://clandestinomusic.bandcamp.com/album/forriner-meet-me-at-burgerellas-clan008

Forriner are Lee Forster and Oli Warriner, better known by their individual projects Last Waltz and Traela who met through their contributions to the Newcastle music scene. Having successfully put out solo material on staples such as ESP Institute, Mule Musiq, Let’s Play House, Tusk Wax and Hhatri, their first releases for Futureboogie Recordings and Man Power’s Me Me Me have been well received including picking up airplay on BBC Radio 1. ‘Meet Me At Burgerellas’ sees the pair join Clandestino’s output whi have released Jose Manuel, Kolomensky, Coyote and Chris Coco picking up support from the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Axel Boman, Red Axes, Crazy P and many more.

‘Meet Me At Burgerellas’ kicks things off with fluttering chord progression, angelic leads and alleviating notes keeping the track infectious yet soothing. Cladenstino’s remix of ‘Meet Me At Burgerellas’ progresses into an organic percussive groove, softening melodic elements and gentle vocals in the distance while their ‘Sunrise Mix’ deploys tranquilising elements and calming textures balanced harmoniously with pulsating low-end and euphoric keys.

‘The Cat & Dog Stairs’ throws down punchy drums, playful modulations and blissful swirls of euphoria giving off an emotive and rapturous energy. Longhair are Swift and Marco Pelaic from the Wilde Renate family in Berlin with releases on Schallplatten and Bordello A Parigi. They round things off with a shimmering remix influenced by Italian dream house as the luscious bass notes flow gracefully with the heavenly synths throughout.

Meet Me At Burgerellas

PREMIERE: Forriner - Cat & Dog Stairs (Longhair Remix)

Premiere: Koichi Sakai & Afla Sackey - Atenteben Blues

We as humans never took it seriously, we simply thought of it as an issue somebody else would fix. We all knew that it would happen soon but not this soon. Nobody expected this so early in our existence as a species. It's as if we woke up one morning and they were all gone, every single one of them without a trace, but where could they all be, where are all the trees?

St Petersburg rising star Sasha Balykova aka Errortica has announced her debut vinyl, Safely Stowed, for Parisian label and platform Les Yeux Orange. Featuring a wide range of club-ready tracks, backed up by a killer acid reinterpretation from Athens's best Anatolian Weapons, our pick is the new age Italo stylings of 'Master Slave' which blends suspenseful synth pads with a rough 303 bassline and harmonic percussion lines.
