LA’s Warehouse Preservation Society cue up a suitably long slung and sophisticated release for Dave Harvey’s well established Futureboogie imprint.  Dave Aju (Circus Company/Mule Musiq) completes the release with proper tasty remix.

Comprising Travis ‘TK’ Kirschbaum & Tavish Graham, Warehouse Preservation Society have released cuts on Rogue Cat Records and Machine Limited, works with such esteemed artists as Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca, Newborn JR, DJ Garth & Anthony Mansfield, and Paramida’s Love On The Rocks label as well as landing a spot on DJ Harvey's "The Sound Of Mercury Rising Vol II" Pikes compilation.

‘Endlessly’ sets itself at ‘chugger pace’, as its mechanical body funk groove teases out a myriad of micro vocals and steadfast melodies, whilst its counterpart, ‘Dublessly’, goes down the rabbit hole and smothers itself in spring reverbs and delays for a transcendental pilgrimage!

The disco drums of ‘Don’t Mess My Head’ get an industrial touch; shades of electro and New York no-wave are evoked on this powerhouse track, which in turn gets a re-rub from San Francisco’s Dave Aju, who jacks it up a notch, adding a layer of energy and intensity that really seals of this charming release.

Bayetë - Rhythm Through The Night #1

Onwards, through the darkness and into the great, desolate beyond. Looking backwards he could see the stars, the distant shimmering lights flickering amidst a galaxy one million miles away from the moon. They were climbing to the top of the mountain across the dense, bleak outback of a planet miles away from earth. There was a cold breeze in the air, one of which they had never felt before back at home. It was foggy, harsh and left a bad taste in the mouth as they continued to trudge slowly forwards...

Alliance Upholstery is a great name for a record label. Little more needs to be said than that however we will proceed. Up next on the label is a split EP which is perfectly apt for the last day of winter, a sun kissed affair offering a warmth and insight into the season which lies around the corner. Roy Comanchero's "Moon Hike" is pure bliss.

Poté - 01 Octobre 2020

As the world and its wife tries to board the last plane out of 2020, Eclectics rolls up with a charter flight big enough to ferry all-comers to Shangri-La. The Oh! EP, from Ibiza-based Italian producer Luca Averna and legendary British veteran Chris Coco, is 35 minutes of delightful, deep-dive distraction from a world gone mad.

This isn’t simply a collection of tunes sitting cheek-by-jowl with their remixes, this is a soaring suite – a movement in five parts put together with care, confidence and consummate craft.

First up on the in-flight entertainment is “There Is No Planet B”. Despite the distress-signal sentiment of the title, it’s an audio hug of breathy synths, languorous lead lines and slow, whirling propeller percussion. A mid-paced reminder that we really are all in this together, the melodic flow coalesces midway through, giving directions to the dance.

The Veteran Delinquents (Joe’s Bakery and Passport to Paradise stalwart Craig Christon along with producer Tim Hutton) pick up the baton and increase the momentum like veteran DJs reading the room. Their remix follows on seamlessly from the original, bigging up the boogie with handclaps, piano and a beat that channels electro and new wave New York.

Next up is Jazxing (The Very Polish Cut-Outs/ Transatlantyk), who find another gear and chug straight ahead – full steam in widescreen. Increasing the bandwidth even further they throw in guitar licks and percussive punctuation, forcing the familiar melody into bold new territory.

And suddenly, there you are, in the middle of a four-to-the-floor groove for discerning dancers after a journey so smooth you couldn’t even feel the corners.

As the bass peters out, title track “Oh!” blossoms into view, building slowly, layers lapping over each other, gentle yet steady, fragile but with a firm foothold. The pace has quickened, but the pin-perfect pacing means you don’t realise until you’re halfway in and committed to the ride. Oh! indeed…

Then, the final act. Once again, Eclectics frequent flier James Bright tales the controls and banks away beautifully from the original, leading you into territory littered with broken beats, rippling synths and an afro-infused groove. This is all played out against a gentle backdrop, a watercolour wash of sound that smooths the flightpath, tempers the turbulence and joins the dots between guitar flourishes and snare snaps.   You have reached your destination. Enjoy.

Luca Averna & Chris Coco - There is no Planet B

The Mysidian label drops Ftzzgrld’s first EP of original tunes and they’re an absolute treat.

1993 features 3 deep numbers and tops it off with Roy Comanchero (Running Back, Alliance Upholstery) of Osaka, Japan’s remix of the title track.

All the right influences from ’93 are there while still sounding fresh! Being one of our favorite records of 2021 so far and it just being Ftzzgrld’s first EP on vinyl we might be getting ahead of ourselves when we say we’re already excited to hear more from both Ftzzgrld & Roy Comanchero!

Let´s be frank, the story of Bien was quite unfascinating, but hopefully very short. It all started when Pascale, the former sweet voice of Mikado (a french duet who enjoyed a big success in Japan and a smaller one in France) decided to go solo and sent lyrics to long time friends and brothers Vincent and Bertrand whose musical background was close to zilch.
It took a little time to convince Pascale to form a new band with just a few songs and no name (but Panama was a serious contender).

Later on, it was clear for the brothers that their music was missing a guitar. They immediately recruited on the street (true fact) their guitarist who happened to be their cousin and accidentaly an inventive cocktail maker and the judo champion of Ivory coast (true fact).

And then they were 4 and called Panama. A few songs and names later (Val d´Isère. Cesta Punta), Vincent came up with the definitive Bien.

We were in Spring 96. The weather was fine, their first demo tape was reviewed in the trendy french magazine "Magic" and attracted the attention of a spanish label (siesta) for which they have recorded a 4 song single aptly called "Maxi". We are in spring 97. Time flies by…

So to recap:

Pascale wrote the lyrics either in french or english (because she has got a very strong artistic sensitivity), rides her bycicle in the sunny streets of Paris and sings the music of the brothers:

- Bertrand whose dream besides being a rich and famous ageing "Rockstar" was to be a professional rugby player despite his age.

- And Vincent who was clearly the Brian Wilson of the band - less the psychological troubles - would rather live in NY, Barcelona than Paris maybe because he is fluent in Portuguese.

And Arnaud, whose talents were as diverse as the look changes of Madonna, Plays the guitar.

What Bien does like about Spain? Baccara (the female group-forget the Spice Girls-not the gambling game), Ivan for "Fotonovela", the "Osborne" bull and Parador-hotels…Yes, definitely Parador-hotels. .
