Pakals Flight

This year the Tour De France Grand Départ is in Copenhagen. The route is very close to Music For Dreams HQ, therefore we decided to put out a little EP to celebrate this event.

We asked a few MFD artists to do cover versions of electronic pioneers Kraftwerk from their incredible Tour De France Soundtracks album which was released in 2003.
Charlotte & Reinhard (from Rheinzand) have done a version of Vitamin.
Danish Duo Subnesia have done a modern funky take on the 1983 classic title track with Truck D on vocals.

The Swan & The Lake featuring Rosebud chose Aéro Dynamik for their version.
We think its a nice homage to the original and also a fantastic cover artwork by MSB Creations to finish off the release.
Bon Tour!

Λένα Πλάτωνος (Lena Platonos) is a Greek musician, pianist and music composer. Her debut solo album, ‘Μάσκες Ηλίου’ (‘Sun Masks’) was produced in 1984 and reissued by Dark Entries in 2016. The album featured experiments with different sounds and a new batch of electronic equipment, such as the Roland TR 808 drum machine and Yamaha C60 synthesizer. Lena narrates each song in deadpan fashion, skillfully reciting her surreal Greek poetry. Her lyrics deal with the futility of love, the gap of human relationships, consumerist alienation in the bourgeois lifestyle of the 1980s.

We’ve recruited four of our favorite contemporary producers to remix their favorite tracks from ‘Sun Masks’. First up is “Lego” remixed by triple scorpio supernova Avalon Emerson, who is based in Berlin. Her remix morphs the track into a solid dancefloor twister. Next is “Lego” remixed by Lena Willikens, Cologne based DJ and resident at Salon Des Amateurs in Düsseldorf. She provides a deep and psychedelic journey through the darker shadows of the early night or morning. On the B-side is New Yorker and Firehouse Recordings boss Kim Ann Foxman remixing “Hoping By Shopping”. She transforms the spacey robotic vocoder track into a dynamic deep house workout, tough and dreamy all at once. Closing out the EP is a remix of “Wrong Love” by Berlin via Bucharest producer Borusiade aka Miruna Boruzescu. Enhancing the original melancholic piano ballad to a cosmic processional with poignant bass lines that build and recess like the ocean tides. 

All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is a reinterpretation of the original ‘Sun Masks’ cover, isolating the photograph of Lena wearing sunglasses designed by Eloise Leigh. Each copy includes a two-sided postcard with a manipulated film still from one of Lena’s music videos.

Video to Gígantes feat. Plastelini:  https://youtu.be/jWIyak3s9ks

Singer and producer El Mago debuts on YNFND with a 4 track gatefold LP entitled `Kanénas ́. 
Based half in Thessaloniki and half in Berlin, he ties between two identities as greek and german. 
Transfusing the roots of urban Greek music `Rembetiko ́ with modern electronica, he symbolises his personal journey with the connection of his two cultural identities. 

On entrance we start with `Gígantes ́, a fusion of vibrant humming, synthetic pops, crackles and the poetic voice of Plastelini. From the get-go we witness a vocal story written about the relationship with your demons, and how to live beside them. Interrupted by erratic gun- shots and bass-heavy shuffles, the message provokes a somewhat conflicting reaction. 

Stepping into what seems like a distorted cave, `Thálassa ́ takes us into tripped beats, off-time glitches and synthesised brush strokes. Swaying between looming hums and a pull and release of echo as it comes to it’s end. 

As we flip the record, a dissonant sample leads us into `Filakí ́, with what can be described as ancient bass. Vocal fragments shout but whisper as they are broken up by explosions. 
By the time the song reaches climax, you sense the origin of El Mago’s roots. 

The finale entitled `Potámi ́ boasts delicate guitar strings, followed by laid-back rhythms and El Mago himself on vocals. A bygone tale comes to mind as Potamós embraces Mago’s musical past as a performer in the more traditional sense, an ode to Rembetiko once again. 
You may think that `Potámi ́ marks the end of his musical odyssey, but in truth it is just the start. He is not Kanénas* yet. 

*translated as `Nobody ́ 

The release is accompanied by 4 tarot-themed cards depicting each track with poems written by Lina Rococco, alongside 1 secret track on vinyl only.

PREMIERE - Metaman feat. Lena Platonos - Irina (Stevie R & Parisinos Remix) (Inside Out)

Fran Seven is an artist and producer from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He has developed a strong focus on electronic music inspired by a wide variety of styles and ideas, as well as the endless depth of space and the mysterious, yet fascinating world of quantum mechanics. Fran's style blurs the lines between melodic downtempo, ambient minimalistic beats and was first to be heard on his debut EP "Ripples in Time" which was released by Atomnation in 2014.

You can expect lush soundscapes, swirling melodic patterns and so much more to add focus and depth to the artist's vibrant compositions. in the vein of artists like Bonobo, Tycho, Nathan Fake, Jon Hopkins or Max Cooper, Fran Seven is all about building steady melodic layers that set the bar higher, creating a dense and immersive listening experience for the audience. Fran Seven's production style is packed with layers of dreamy and rhythmic arpeggios and sequences that keep evolving throughout each song and make his style unique.

Rugged Society proudly presents its second release on the label and this time by no other than Amsterdam based producer Fran Seven. Debuting in 2014 with his EP "Ripples in Time" on Atomnation, Fran Seven introduced his dreamy and organic synth style of music.
Now with his new EP "Fourth" he takes takes you on a new trip with his unique sound, well infused with dreamy arps and sequences.

Just like corners of a cube that are connected in 3d space, Fran Seven believes the past, present and future are intertwined. The EP "Fourth" evolved from "Ripples in Time", a transformation caused by a ripple that travelled through time, the fourth dimension.
