5 - MON TRAING

René Danger is back with his "Gwerz Boy" EP and transversal project mixing music (indeed), but also a fanzine and a video game on an actual Game Boy cartridge!
With "Enez Eusa", René Danger tells a traditional Breton gwerz (lament) about the loss of loved ones at sea, readapted over minimalist gameboy arpeggios. 
Plot twist and spoilers: it ends in a cathartic gabber apotheosis.

To illiustrate this crazy project which will be released on May 12 on Editentés, here's a videoclip based on the Gwerzboy videogame, developed by René Danger too:

"j'aimais trop tes histoires
j'aimais trop ton regard, perdu dans la foule
j'aimais nos samedis soirs
j'aimais qu'on rentre tard, répéter en boucle
la vie à deux, plus jamais triste, c'est tellement mieux
j'aimais nos samedis soirs
j'aimais nos films noirs
j'aimais ton amour

mais qu'est-ce qu'on a branlé pour s'endormir et tout gâcher
qu'est-ce qui a changé pour qu'on en devienne bousillés
faire semblant, fermer les yeux, le temps passe
c'est badant comme on se lasse

et je bloque sur nos messages pour te retrouver
bloque sur les souvenirs qu'on avait imprimés
j'me suis jamais senti aussi seule j'espère que tu le sais
j'me suis jamais senti aussi seule j'espère que toi aussi

jamais plus tes histoires
jamais plus ton regard, perdu dans les doutes
jamais plus de cauchemars
j'ai zappé la mémoire
je me répète en boucle
la vie à deux, plus jamais triste, c'est tellement mieux"

Passarella Death Squad - In Heaven Available to buy here - https://passarellarecords.bandcamp.com/album/in-heaven

Passarella Death Squad return to their own imprint with three captivating cuts entitled ‘In Heaven’ including remixes from Naive founder Violet and Berghain’s Norman Nodge. 

"A heady, dark, minimal-wave cut that invokes the likes of Chris & Coesy and Fever Ray with a suitably haunting, obsidian sheen. With pounding, ominous drums guiding the track down its shadowy, atmospheric path, the vocal work is an eerie, absorbing lullaby that lingers long after it’s gone." - DJ Mag

It all started with a fan letter…

“Hey Peter, just noticed you on a Rhys Chatham link. Just want to say I adore your work, I had a release on DFA recently, and they sent me some of your releases you did with Jonathan - so brilliant! I’ve had “Condo” track for a while, this completely catches my personality and when I feel disillusioned or need comfort, I always put this on, and it makes me feel good and strong.....i will stop gushing now! Thank you!

Nik Colk Void x”

This was Peter’s reaction…

“I was quite flattered and was glad that ‘Condo’, one of my lesser-know tracks, was being appreciated. (I was also curious, because the most-viewed clip of ‘Condo’ on Youtube is actually a slowed down version: someone played the 12” 45rpm EP at 33 rpm. The result, however, is quite beautiful.)

I responded, said I hoped we could meet the next time I am in London, and Nik then suggested that she had a track that she was working on, and would I like to listen to it and possibly collaborate. I am always game for a new challenge, so I said sure and Nik sent an mp3.

I was immediately struck by the haunting and evocative nature of the track, the analog synths feeling fresh and familiar at the same time, the vocals having a primal quality of breath and phrasing. I loaded the track into Ableton and instinctively began recording some overdubs. I used analog (Prophet 5) and digital (Moog iPad) synths and a soprano saxophone. I then sent a mix to Nik.

Nik responded quite positively, and over the next few weeks we exchanged files back and forth, experimenting with different mixes and submixes. After a couple of dozen rough mixes, accompanied by email discussions among the three of us (Gabe had entered the process after the first few exchanges,) we settled on a final mix. Shortly after we had a final mix, I synchronized the track with a video that my partner Kit Fitzgerald was working on. This long extended shot fit the music perfectly, and we had a video for ‘Beachcombing’. (A still from this video serves as the artwork for the 12”.)

Initially, there was going to be a one-sided 12”, with ‘Beachcombing’ the only track. Nik then wrote to me that Dominic was also interested in working on a track, and would I be interested in working on a B-side with Dom. Of course, I readily agreed, and I received an mp3 of synth tracks. As previously, I began building up tracks, using the alto sax (rather than the sopranino used on Beachcombing) and the addition of a vintage Korg vocoder.

Once again, a series of file exchanges of mixes, submixes and discreet tracks ensued, and we finally settled on mix #26a. There is kind of a sweet quality which surprised the both of us.”

The result is before you now and forthcoming on Optimo Music. Modern collaborations with magical results!

Peter Gordon and Factory Floor - Beachcombing

We have the pleasure of premiering a track from “Recluído”, Logia Records second EP. Featuring this time Favio Inker, a skilled and promising DJ/producer from Buenos Aires, the Argentinian label delivers three strong originals with dark basslines and strong melodies and five vital remixes (three for “El Disparo” and two for “Perdido”) provided by Disco Mortale (a.k.a. Dani Monaco), Aurum Miles, Velax, Umvral and Future Hero.

The remix we chose to review was made with love by Aurum Miles, a producer, songwriter, DJ and co-founder of Quixotical Records, based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Born in the late ’80s with a Queen’s “A Kind of Magic” vinyl in his hands, he was inspired during his whole childhood by classic rock and shoegazing Brit music. Later, he discovered the world of electronic sounds by touching a JUNO-6 for the first time, which made a substantial effect on his future life. After many years of practising and playing the guitar, keyboards, drums, and everything that makes sounds, Aurum finally started producing some kind of weird electronic music, combining rock, psychedelic and electronic elements. Never settling to one style, always experimenting with compositions of different genres, his sonority varies from pink to dark, from vanilla to chocolate, or… whatever.

For his interpretation of “Perdido”, he decided to bring his psychedelic rock influences and combine them with… bleepy video-game-like FXs. A curious and unlikely combination that resulted in a stompy and upbeat interpretation, proving that you never know what to expect from Aurum Miles.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/logia-records/87314
