Myttys "Sloggilukio" Oma333 No.024 

Seeing Myttys perform at H2Ö festival in Turku last summer was a jaw dropping experience. Certainly my favourite set amongst a damn fine line up and I demanded to release something of theirs before they'd even packed away their stuff.

I'd known Heta for years via Olimpia Splendid/Toblerones and Samuli from when he came to play with Clouds. The idea of them as a duo had gold stars written all over it but the results are far beyond my already high expectations. This is one of the best tapes I'll ever put out.

Delving in to the music and attempting to describe what I hear was quite a daunting task and my notes got kinda fun in the process. 
For example Lenak and Street Person made me think of Drunken Fist Kung Fu. Heta's effortlessly cool vocals (and the occasionally perfectly placed scream) echoed by either an imaginary twin sister or the weirdo boy next door. 
Ekkä Ota comes across like an off kilter hip hop soundtrack for a Sci-Fi film. 
Kallupää, Pamsypak and some of the interlude tracks sound, to my ears, beautifully close to the Broadcast and The Focus Group experiments of the "Witch Cults of the Radio Age" album and I hear traces of early Múm stuff in Paksotal. 
Another favourite Foliojakku holds its own unique beauty, quite different from the other tracks. Its machine music with heart and grace which builds and builds until waves of submarine echo's and rapid morse code sequences wash over you. 
Oh and the title track Sloggilukio is the bees knees! 

Certain parts of some of these tunes veer into territory only Finns seem to get away with. I find this hard to explain but there is a certain kind of relaxedness I often hear amongst my favourite Finnish bands which oozes either tons of self confidence or a massive indifference to not fitting into any kind of musical category. Or both. This unpindownable quality is what makes me instinctively trust most of the music which comes my way from there, in whatever form, yet I'm also aware of how blessed I am to have got to know the Fonal/Avarus etc crew so early on. 
The experiments they all create help make that country shine to me and I'm dead proud to finally be able to play a small part in that great history

133 jelly green tapes with white body printing will be made available from Feb 27th. Cover beautifully designed by the band themselves and risograph printed by Jan Matthé at Het Bos in Antwerp.

@RoccoVeles  & Bogdan Full Moon live set is an exotic blend of two unique cultural backgrounds that had recently emerged in Tulum, Mexico.
This project is a semi-improvised imagery of longing, nostalgia, and also, an intense emotionally-charged journey filled with pulsating sounds, soaring drones, deep bases, and other idiomatic musical elements that represent their rich cultural backgrounds.
"Veles" is an ancient Slavic pagan deity that is associated with earth, the souls of the underworld, music and magic. "Bog" in Slavic means god, and "Dan" could be interpreted as a gift or daylight.
This fusion of forces is encompassing a wide range of musical influences, from nomads of India to the middle-east, through the gypsy culture of Balkans into the western traditions, and also, Africa into the Latin Americas.                                          Join us every week as we uncover a brand new set, recorded live at Nômade Tulum!   Enjoy the sound.

Pierre Bastien orchestrates his meccano marionettes on Tinkle Twang ‘n Tootle to form the charming imaginative ensemble that he’s been known for since the late 80s. 

Equal parts composer, inventor, mechanic, and performer - Bastien translates his imagination into instruments and compositions that defy any musical categories. Whether it’s preparing instruments like playing a trumpet underwater or through a kazoo, using belt-driven motors and mechanical components to perform cumbersome yet surprisingly musical operations on traditional instruments and household items, or using a fan to hit the strings of a kundi harp with flowing paper - Bastien’s love for tone, rhythm, noise and harmony is poetically reflected across his quite extensive oeuvre. 

Playful and melancholic, the sound sculptures that Bastien invents and plays with are partly inspired by the work of Raymond Roussel, a visionary French author who at the turn of the 20th century wrote a unique form of literature which inspired and guided artists from the surrealist and pataphysical movement and was declared by Michel Foucault as one of structuralism's founding fathers. On that note, the influence of literature and syntax on Bastien’s work cuts all the way through to the palindromes he uses for his track titles - which, much like his machines, infinitely loop. 

True to it’s adorable title, Tinkle Twang ‘n Tootle is a music box of unfolding whimsical structures, half broken rhythms, detuned harmonies, and fantastical sound collages that evoke a childlike sense of wonder and an urge to explore the spaces in between the sounds.

Artist: Andrew Pekler
Album: Sound From Phantom Islands
Label#: Faitiche20
Format: LP/DL

Faitiche is delighted to present a new album by Andrew Pekler: Sounds From Phantom Islands brings together ten tracks created over the last three years for the interactive website Phantom Islands - A Sonic Atlas. With his 2016 album Tristes Tropiques, Pekler created a highly unique cosmos of ethnographic sound speculations. Sounds From Phantom Islands continues and simultaneously expands this concept: finely elaborated chordal motifs float like fog over fictional maritime landscapes. A masterpiece of contemporary Exotica.

Phantom islands are islands that appeared on historical maps but never actually existed. The status of these artefacts of European colonial expansion from the 15th to the 19th century oscillates between cartographic fact and maritime fiction. Sounds From Phantom Islands interprets and presents these imaginations as a quasi-ethnographic catalog of music and synthetic field recordings. The pieces on this album are based on recordings made for Phantom Islands - A Sonic Atlas, an online interactive map developed with cultural anthropologist Stefanie Kiwi Menrath.

@Nikolaienko Meets Arthur Mine: Nostalgia Por Mesozóica
Format: 7", limited to 100
Release date: March 6th 2020


After four years of silence that have elapsed since the release of “Ode To The Sea” LP back in 2016, Muscut is bringing out Nikolaienko’s next collaboration, a duo with Arthur Mine, a Kyiv-based keyboard maestro and an ex-member of the ‘Blacklazer’ band. 

“Nostalgia Por Mesozóica” is an exploration of "experimental exotica" consisted of synthesized tropical attributes — an artificial landscape isolated behind the glass frame. Reminiscent of recording techniques and sonorities ubiquitous in the 60’s and 70’s, it could conceivably have been intended as a soundtrack for the Mesozoic Era exhibition at your favorite Natural History museum.

A1 Troglodytes

Face B

Limited to 1OO copies.
Includes hand-numbered and stamped postcard.

Arthur Mine: Arp Odyssey (track A), Venta synth-organ (track B2)
Nikolaienko: modular synth percussion, tape manipulations, processing, effects.

Composed by Nikolaienko and Arthur Mine and recorded at Labyrint Of Echoes Studio in Kyiv during 2017—2019.

Nostalgia Por Mesozóica

Order

Nostalgia Por Mesozóica by Nikolaienko Meets Arthur Mine (7", 2020) Excerpts

It’s 2020 and our world is literally burning for (global/personal) transformation like never before in our human history:  “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star” Nietzsche wrote back in the day, and CHAOS certainly is the order of our times:  

With all of the chaos, fear & destruction around us, there certainly needs to be deaths-upon-deaths of the old to make room for future seeds & new dawnings…healing upon healing for the old patterns of the past to be fully seen and forgiven…change-upon-changes:  inside our hearts, minds, & purposes for living.  Shit. is. REAL.

Living during the times of this Great Transition ain’t nothing. It requires all of us: our bigness and greatness, and our humbleness & shadows, our inner-children being cradled, our inner-adults calling us out on our own shit, our ancestors at our backs, future generations whispering to our souls, for us to surrender, and for us to follow it's organic-wise-path.

🔸Deep peace--in this very moment--is the prayer and is the path. 🔸

This second Deep Peace mix (4 years later!) is still dedicated to all the peaceful warriors out there, seen and unseen, but there nonetheless:  those holding the frequencies of peace, trust & (unconditional) love, & taking the courageous steps needed to follow one's heart and mission here on the Planet…we’re still in this together, we still are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

DEEP Peace 🔸 vol.2 🔸 Surrender to your Soul 🔸

Originally released on cassette exactly one year ago, though now remastered here for vinyl, D.K expresses his imaginary interpretation of the music used in Vietnam’s ancestral/spiritual possession rituals called 'Hau Dong'. 
It’s a ceremony in 5 parts, whereby spirit mediums dance on each song to honour the mystical goddesses of Forest, Water and Heaven. 
Whilst dancing during these rituals, the Medium's appear to transform themselves into different characters - changing their personalities, as if various spirits have entered their bodies.

Limited edition of 300 copies.

A1 The Three Realms
A2 The Goddess is Dancing
A3 Going Into Trance

AstroFM 073 // Midnatsmix by Josefinity

Behold the lights of carnival samsara!
The heart strays in diverse abundance,
Feedbacking into abstraction...
...stranded in remote isolation.
A rising storm whirls, a friend and a teacher.
Love observes with silent resilience...
...allow the dust to settle,
Fierce grace, clear confusion,
A pillow, a candle,
home within
a storm.

kӣr (@k6r) is the solo production epithet of Bane Jovančević, resident live artist and program manager of Belgrade’s club Drug§tore. His first release Imrali was on Creme Organization, second one Mramorje was released on Yerevan Tapes and third Balčak on Don't DJ's label Disk. By combining traditional and experimental influences in electro-acoustic music, Kӣr creates the sound in which drone-navigated post- industrial logos transgresses into a tribal mythos, in search for the traces of future. The clash of synths and acoustics invoke an audio landscape of Byzantine sacral traditions and Balkan folklore rhythms. Kӣr’s symbolic language (Dimiskija, Imrali, Mramorje, Balčak) layers it up with an ancient temporality and its logic of being that is not past but our own. The basic concept is to challenge conventional and predominant rhythmic structures in music by juxtaposing traditional rhythms with contemporary electronic sound design. The visual imaginary invoked in the sound – that of a forest air, a river, a hum of birds – delivered through the ruthlessness of the machine, insist on an active listening, to all the otherworldly of this world. It is music that hypnotizes, contemplates and raves. And it always dances.
Last two years were very busy, with Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade residency, then composing for a theater play "Stvaranje Čoveka" at one of the leading Serbian theaters "Atelje 212", and with residency in Reykjavik, working on music for conceptual performance "Hai Maei" with local artist Borghildur Indriðadóttir. Next release “Kosidba” is scheduled for spring 2021. on Belgian label “Esitu Records”
