"Next month will see the debut 12th Isle release arrive in the shape of Thoughtstream, an album recorded by St. Petersburg-based duo Dices + AEM Rhythm Cascade. Set to arrive in the silk-screen artwork from White depicted below, the 11-track album was recorded over the duration of 2015 by the Udacha and Gost Zvuk affiliates and channels “aspects of early sequence-based electronics and vintage space rock around a diverse and playful compendium of rhythms.”

For their second release, 12th Isle proudly fling 'Blubber Tottum' into the waxen sonic abyss for your full listening pleasure. The inaugural LP drubbed from the Glaswegian machines of Cru Servers is perhaps best framed as what it would sound like if early life took its first steps out of the primordial gloop, dragged itself ashore, decided to make dance music and discovered they had a knack for it. It dangles precariously in the fault lines between discordantly melodic rhythm tracks, steadily paced chaos and swamp-soaked bass oddities. Laden with eerily familiar samples yet always in a world of its own.

Cru Servers - Blubber Tottum LP (ISLE002)

Experimental cinema sonics, electroacoustic research practice and shadowy wind instruments come together to form this unique interpretation of the mythical city of gold. Utilising rare, half forgotten Soviet era synthesisers Vladimir Karpov creates immersive soundscapes under the name XYR. The Formanta mini keytar and the Alisa 1377 lend Karpov’s music strange, seldom heard atmospheres which the St. Petersburg native then combines with field recordings, toy percussion and wood flute to further build upon his utopian narratives.

Part concept album, part nod to Popol Vuh, his attempt to channel the thematics of the ancient tale of the Muisca people through his modest home studio left a lasting impression on us here at 12th Isle and we’re proud to present a selection of the tracks on vinyl for the very first time. Originally confined to just 25 cassette tapes, for this edition we have assembled some of the most inspiring tracks from the sessions as well as the bonus closing piece ‘Aguirre Song’. Immediately engaging, sincerely heartfelt and strikingly original, these are recordings we have returned to time and time again.

Limited edition LP comes housed in screenprinted sleeve. ‘El Dorado’ recorded April – August 2014, originally released via Illuminated Paths (March 2015).

SALT007 Escape Artist - Signs Of Life EP

~~~~~ CLIPS ~~~~~

Seemingly drawing from a slightly different well of influence from that seen across their prolific back catalogue, the Aarhus duo – going by the less common shroud of Palta & Ti – have hereby woven together a stylistically varied yet tonally concentric 3 track EP. Having produced a wealth of some of the most lovingly referential and consistent music of recent times, the tracks making up “Palta og Ti på den Tolvte Ø” are slightly harder to pin down to exact genre markers. Each song is busy yet never overcrowded with elements; building concise and playful grooves which if forced we would say positions them somewhere in the ambient space between jazzy-improv-house and dubby, hypnotic electronics. That’s as absolute in adjectives as we would ever care to be...

Expertly crafted both technically and musically, we are more than excited to be able to present this to you as our fifth instalment.

Palta & Ti - Palta og Ti på den Tolvte Ø (ISLE005)

Для отечественной электроники Михаил Чекалин является не только важнейшим персонажем, повлиявшим на становление и развитие сцены, но и своего рода фигурой символической. На Западе его музыкой восхищались многие — от журналистов и критиков всех сортов до Фрэнка Заппы и Карлхайнца Штокхаузена. В родной же Москве имя Чекалина было долгое время изъято из официальной культурной повестки — его обвиняли в пропаганде чужой «прозападной» эстетики, вплоть до конца 1980-х не давали издавать свои произведения и блокировали выезд за границу. Что впрочем не помешало ему записать десятки новаторских, опередивших свое время электронных композиций и внести большой вклад в развитие неофициального советского искусства в целом — например, создавая звуковое оформление для знаменитых выставок «Двадцати московских художников» на Малой Грузинской или устраивая первые аудио-визуальные перформансы на специально сконструированном «световом органе». 

Впрочем, как и все большие художники, сам Михаил Чекалин предпочитает фокусироваться не на личных достижениях, а на творчестве. «У меня нет биографии — есть только дискография», — эта цитата автора может стать здесь своеобразной точкой входа в представленную компиляцию. Это архивный сборник работ, записанных в период с 1979 по 1987 года — полижанровые эксперименты Чекалина в радиусе от «пространственной музыки» (по сути, предтечи эмбиента) до более современных синтезаторных и пост-симфонических композиций.
_____________________________________

For Russian electronic music, Mikhail Chekalin is not only a major character, who has affected the scene's establishment and development, but also a kind of symbolic figure. His music has been praised by many in the West - from journalists and critics of all kinds to Frank Zappa and Karlheinz Stockhausen, while in Moscow Chekalin's name was excluded from the official cultural agenda for a long time: he was accused of propaganda of foreign 'pro-Western' aesthetics and up until the end of the 80's wasn't allowed to release his works or travel abroad. This, however, didn't interfere with him recording dozens of innovative electronic compositions and contributing greatly to the development of unofficial Soviet art in general - for example, providing sound design for the famous exhibitions of 'Twenty Moscow Artists' on Malaya Gruzinskaya or arranging the first audiovisual performances on a specially constructed 'light organ'.

However, just like all great artists, Mikhail himself prefers to focus not on personal achievements, but on creativity. 'I don't have a biography - only a discography' - this quote of the author may become an entry point of sorts into the compilation presented. This archival collection of works recorded within the period from 1978 to 1987 are Chekalin's multigenre experiments ranging from spatial music (in essence, ambient's precursor) to more contemporary synthesizer and post-symphonic compositions.

ГАР001: Михаил Чекалин «Экзальтированная Колыбельная 1979 – 1987»

Продолжая исследовать глубины отечественной экспериментальной сцены, ГОСТ ЗВУК представляет дебютный мини-альбом ИНФХ (@infx_infx), молодого музыканта из столицы России. Московский продюсер предпочитает работать на границах популярных электронных жанров, создавая клубную музыку для интровертов — это треки со сложной, ломаной ритмической архитектурой, рассчитанные на вдумчивого и внимательного слушателя. Постоянно видоизменяясь и мутируя, каждый раз демонстрируя новые грани и оттенки, эта музыка воспринимается как подобие живого организма — уникальное произведение, на которое невозможно не обратить внимания.

_____________________________________________________________

Gost Zvuk continues its journey to the depth of today’s Russia experimental music scene with the debut EP from INFX (@infx_infx), yet another emerging artist from country’s capital Moscow. Young muscovite prefers to work on the margins of popular electronic music genres, using the complex broken rhythmical architecture to create his own kind of introverted club tracks for highly observant and thoughtful listeners. The resulting music is an ever-changing, multifaceted and polychromatic living organism with a constantly mutating structure — a truly unique piece of art that should not be overlooked.

ГОСТ012: ИНФХ "Fences of Metal"

Tucked away in a shed in Portland, Best Available Technology continues to cultivate an unmistakable sound grown around a seemingly untiring exploration of the machines that he works with. Across ‘Enginetics & Plasmalterations’ his densely layered sonic design agglutinates with a healthy appreciation for the unplanned or unexpected, forming a polymorphic collection of tracks for the 6th release from 12th Isle. While more traditional means of classification have become increasingly insufficient, it wouldn’t be unfair to suggest that the music on this record bears a mutated resemblance to stuttered Downtempo or the dubbier side of Techno and Bass, connected by way of tonal plasticity through drone-jams and intermittently skewed synth loops.  
         Despite the frustrating limits of language surrounding music, we’re incredibly happy to welcome B.A.T. to the label with this release and would be well enough compacting the overview of it to the near molecular level by borrowing a phrase from the artist himself – Sonics Proper!

We're very honoured to welcome global dance floor devotee & humble hard worker, Anthony Naples to the Good Morning commune! And more importantly, extremely blessed to be sharing his second full length album with you all.

Originally conceived as a D.J. mixtape - dedicated to his friends and times spent with them in the morning after hours (or pre-party build up)....."Take Me With You" quickly morphed into a soft focused meditation on all things warm and intangible.....reflecting on that lingering feeling one gets when walking away from the ones they love. 

It's also been an exercise in escapism for Naples.....diving deep into the underworld & outer worlds......only to beam back up into the stratosphere, taking flight with a rejuvenated blend of his most personal work to date — touching on trip-hop, psychedelic pop, ambient house, and much more along the way.

"Take Me With You" is now available on cassette via the Good Morning online store, with digital also available via the ANS Bandcamp page.

a3.	Simple Pleasures
b1.	Fourteen Days
b2.	Yemia
b3.	Outer Drive

Sam McQueen's 2004 EP Sephoria is next up to get the Delsin remaster, recut and reissue treatment. The Chicago native has released music as Indio with the likes of John Beltran and also appeared on the Indigo area label. Across six cuts here -two of which have new titles- the little known producer mixes up. 

There is serene ambient landscaping on the 'Inception' and the beatless 'Graduated Frequencies', which resonates with exquisitely melancholic synths, then 'Simple Pleasure' is a celestial world of wiry synths and warm solar winds and 14 days has pillow drum programming and soft focus chords that sooth the soul. 'Yemia' is another symphony of chattery drum hits, meaningful chords and real astral techno beauty and 'Outer Drive' closes down the epic space voyage with delicate melodies and melancholic synths that encourage you to lay back and gaze into a starry night sky.
