Deee-Lite  - Groove Is In The Heart (Altered Tapes Rework)

Evita Manji - Closer To Midnight
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 136S2
Format: DL
Release Date: 12 January 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/CloserToMidnight

Closer to Midnight, the second single of the upcoming album ‘Spandrel?’ is a reminder that we’re closer than ever to the ending point of life as we know it, moving towards it at an accelerating speed. Dawn may come with answers, a different way of being or nothing at all.

'Spandrel?' is an album that takes time to unravel, and Manji’s themes resonate through history that’s older than pop music. It’s tragic, romantic, and poetic, and resolutely refuses to turn away from the era’s most urgent concerns.

Production, writing, composition: Evita Manji
Mix: Evita Manji
Master: Enyang Urbiks
Artwork: Spyros Droussiotis

Ópalo - Vulnerable 
La Edad Invisible [CRT001 / Caracteres]

Produced by Alejandro Romero aka Ópalo 
Mastered by Alejandro Romero at Overlap Records
Artwork by Joaquín Dávila Romoleroux 
Released by Caracteres from Quito, Ecuador
Release Date : January 22nd. 2023

Caracteres first release comes from the hand of Ópalo, an Ecuadorian project named after the gemstone associated with the sacral chakra. It is said it has properties to moderate and harmonize sexual desires and balance problems with addictions. In some cultures it is believed that Opal is a symbol of hope, purity and truth.

La Edad Invisible is Ópalo's first release and first LP. The idea of the project is to share fine cuts of electronica, ambient and idm, heavenly influenced by the 90's trip-hop scene. Ópalo is a fictional electronic band, which uses keyboards, drum machines and synthesizers to create contemporary pieces of music. The name of the album is given after an abstract idea of an age the artist didn't want to be noticed, and also the age that is not noticeable in physical characteristics.

The album starts off with two laid back tunes, inspired in the melancholy and sadness that the artist experimented during a family conflict. As the album evolves, ambient pieces serve as interlude for new instrumental nocturne tracks. Some of this pieces where composed for video art and then included as part of the LP.

An important part of the development of the album is the continuous collaboration with the visual artist Joaquin Dávila, which asked Romero to put some music together for his video art projects. He also designed and composed the image of the artwork, giving the album a unique concept.

Ópalo - Vulnerable [Caracteres]

Anchored on the rich soil of our mother
I taste the golden nectar, pouring from her luscious breasts.
In an instant retrieving my place within the cosmos
in between heaven and earth,
humanity and divinity.
A flower blossoming as a testament to the beauty of being.

De La Soul - Breakadawn (Altered Tapes Rework)

Premiere of the track "Pur" by Kanal Nula, the solo moniker of Puppy Tapes, Anti State Electronics and Mineral Resource label head DJ Valentimes, taken from his upcoming his first full length CD on Mineral Resource label.
-
Artist: Kanal Luna | @djvalentimes
Track: "Pur"
Title: "Phase"
Label: Mineral Resource | @PUPPYTAPES
Format: CD + Digital
Mixing + Artwork: Alexandrej Cvitanic
Release date: May 23, 2023
Pre-order: puppypcd.com/

"Kanal Nula’s return comes this spring with “Phase”, presenting a series of evolving recordings and experiments utilizing improvisational manipulation, replicative synthesis, and live preparation of found recordings of aero and automotive systems. Patient assembly and prepared composition melts gritty, rhythmic ambient movements into chaotic moments of cut up stuttering, back into pulsing oscillations of 757’s and natural drones."

Premiere: Kanal Nula - Pur [MR-008]

Ludmilla - Down, Down, Down (Taleko Flip)

VERSE 
Old enough to know better too young to give a fuck
Wake up spark a joint up, kiss my girl then get my figures up
Always reppin where I’m from, don’t you see my finger up?!
We eating but table too small you can’t sit with us 
I get high and I lay low
So high that I woke up with a halo
I’m no angel but you ain’t either so stop the bullshit
Talkin bout me but you’re lurking on my page tho!

I’ll keep your name alive in all of our memories 
(I still feel you)
