Catlofe's fifth single is a heady journey to a lesser known New York City neighborhood, Astoria. Specifically, the Ditmars section of Astoria. While it's not necessarily off the beaten path, Astoria isn't on all of the tourist maps. The neighborhood is a magical gem in New York City, and must be experienced to truly grasp its special-ness. This track is a tribute to that.

Vermonische Melodien is a collection of compositions by DJ-producer M.RUX, made with old VERMONA machines from Eastern Germany. The nine Electronica tracks can’t conceal their influences of Exotica records from the 1960s as well as their fondness for vintage music technology. We hear voices singing lullabies ("Magische Time"), mumbling chopped up syllables ("Seelnatrax") or reciting a Shakespeare quote ("Bakelit") - are they real? Yes! But they are mostly generated by the world’s first speech synthesis hardware, the IBM 704 from 1954, and processed into off-key melodic beauty with vocoders.

"I’ve always been especially curious about musical visions from the 1970s", says M.RUX about his inspiration for Vermonische Melodien. "Those nifty Vermona machines can today be seen as future machines from the 1970s, they seem almost mystical to me like relics from an epoch long ago… and I wanted to find out how music from that time could have sounded." On the album M.RUX uses, above all, equipment by Vermona, a brand from Eastern Germany manufacturing electronic musical instruments until 1990. The company was founded as VEB Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke in the 1950s, who also produced home-organs under the Weltmeister tag before the name Vermona was finally established in 1972. The drum machine VERMONA ER-9 (1976) was not only the first instrument which M.RUX ever possessed (or does it possess him?), it also forms the rhythmical backbone of M.RUX’s studio on this record. The melodies on the other hand have mainly been played on a Vermona Formation-1, a suitcase synthesizer from 1980. Although these two machines are joined by countless other instruments and effect units from all over the planet, their particular soft sound is present in every single moment of this soothing album. 
"I also take a deep bow to „Lacky“ Reinhard Lakomy who passed away 6 years ago", M.RUX adds. "His releases were the first electronic instrumental records on the Amiga label which has been a huge influence for my work in general and this record in particular."

M.RUX has appeared as a solo producer with his EP "In the Hold" (2016) on his own YNFND imprint. Before that he was especially famous for his edits which gently transform songs by Nina Simone, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Zé and many more into slow, dancefloor-ready gems.

Pingipung is proud to present this first full-length album by M.RUX. He is not only a talented multi-instrumentalist and original producer but also a skillful remixer - as he has shown twice already to the Pingipung audience in the last two years with his touches on Umeko Ando’s Ainu folklore songs.

Schramm Experience - TŪB SHÅRK

It's a pleasure to premiere this track by @andiotto & @f-s-blumm for you, part of their new wonderful collaboration album released on @pingipung. 

Andi Otto & F.S.Blumm: Entangleland
LP / digital
Pingipung 070
APR 3 2020

F.S.Blumm enters Andi Otto's studio with a whole palette of strings and a mission to create quirky, peaceful soundscapes. The artists intertwine acoustic and electric guitars, harps, electric bass, psaltery and cello in eleven electronica compositions ranging from neo-classical gravity ("Entangleland") to spaced-out dub jams ("Active Fault Map"). "Yukiyama" evolves in multilayered patterns braided over warm tape-noise. "Kilani" reminds of Rabih Abou Khalil's ECM recordings, with its oriental scale and a beat that counts to seven. The tunes shine most when silence takes over, when the sounds find space to unfold and decay. Far from being trivial ambient lullabies, these compositions burst with detail: Bells rattle, a kalimba resonates, and vintage synths induce their voltage into the acoustic framework.

Andi Otto and F.S.Blumm have been musical collaborators in the studio as well as on stages between Berlin and Tokyo for more than a decade now, the heyday being their previous duo album "The Bird And White Noise" in 2014. 

On "Entangleland", Andi Otto contributes the cello, harp and synth recordings and takes care of the mixing. Compared to his recent releases on Multi Culti or Shika Shika, these tracks are less dancefloor oriented. The calm of this album is a flourishing environment for Otto to pluck the acoustic cello which we usually hear in a more processed way in his solo works.

F.S.Blumm contributes guitar and bass recordings as well as saturated percussion echoes from his self-made spiral box. Blumm is famous for his acoustic solo productions since his early outings on Morr Music or Tomlab. He has also appeared on Pingipung a few times, for example with his album "Up Up And Astray" or as a Lee 'Scratch' Perry collaborator with the "Quasi Dub Development" project. He recorded three duo albums together with Nils Frahm and is a member of the mighty "Jeff Özdemir & Friends" collective in Berlin.

"Entangleland" sees the two artists weave together a mass of acoustic motifs, synthetic melodies, riddims and improv jams where the magic emerges from the sum of the parts. "It's not about accompanying a cello theme with the guitar or vice versa," Andi Otto says. "Entangling sound means letting go of hierarchies, that no one is first. Our studio is not a control room, it's a place of imagination where we take things apart and make things whole."

Longe

Strangely enough I made this beat about 2 months before the quarantine started. In the lyrics it says: Nobody in the streets, or empty streets in a more literal translation. 
My good friend Xuan recorded a killer saxophone solo on top and there we have it!

Hope you enjoy and please support the artists you love especially in these times where partying is still in the distant future. 

Much love,

It's All In My Head

Sommeil Paradoxal.  A sleep phase, characterized by increased activity of the brain. One of the signs of this phase is the rapid movement of the eyeballs. On average, a fast / slow sleep cycle is repeated about four to five times per night. The mechanism of changing the phases of sleep is not fully understood, but there are studies according to which the change of phases of sleep can occur due to a neural switch located in the medulla oblongata.
French Paris based Alohn brings his very happy experience of hidden long time baby sleep dream bringing you this pumpy house tool built on mesmerizing percussions, never-ending synth drops and slow pitched children vocals, will make your party switch into absolutely fantastic lockdown party mode with your family .

The First Hands Opened Like Trees

Mix créer en 2017 que j'avais nommer à l'époque "Light", une vidéo avait été créer par mon amie vidéaste Sabine GENET que vous pouvez trouvé sur Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtnKEnIG4Fk
Aujourd'hui je poste cette musique ici qui est exactement la même, je l'ai juste renommée "Light of hope", le monde a connu un grand bouleversement, je voulais juste à travers ces quelques notes recommencer à croire en un avenir meilleur......

Light Of Hope

It is precisely in these times that we experience how our destinies are linked. No matter where we come from, what skin color, what religion, what gender and who we love. This song sounds like a march of hope, with an important message by Cecilia: Nos destins sont comme liés - our destinies are linked.

French Lyrics

Destins Liés

Ici et là de par le monde il semble que l'on soient plusieurs 
Appellés à répendre de la lumière, à l'encontre des ténèbres 
Chacun à sa manière, chacun de son côté, mais nos destins sont comme liés

Beaucoup d'entre nous ont souffert et ont surmonté leurs peines, 
beaucoup connaissent les galères et ont résolu leurs problèmes 
beaucoup ont encore dur, mais on garde le coeur pur
 les intentions honnêtes

Je suis le capItaine de mon propre navire,  
je garde le contrôle, je veux pas qu'il chavire,  
tant de monde à explorer, de choses à partager 
surfant sur les vagues de la destinée

_________________________________________

English Lyrics

Linked destinies

Here and there around the world there seem to be many
Called to spread light, against darkness
Each in his own way, each on his side, but our destinies are linked

Many of us have suffered and overcome our sorrows,
many know the galleys and have solved their problems
many are still hard, but we keep our hearts clean
honest intentions

I am the captain of my own ship,
I'm in control, I don't want him to capsize,
so many people to explore, things to share
riding the waves of destiny

Destins Liés - OMCB ft. Special Cecilia

Written, arranged,produced & performed by Arkestar 2020

English translation:

Could your face be an outline
a portrait of stars
The Sphinx of all time
unfathomable rhyme
of Celestial Chimes

I'm Caught again, a breathless demise
With only U 2 die 4, but desperate 2 survive

Kiss of all kisses, benevolent Trust
The moment transcended, treasured Angel Dust

A flight to the nest, without taking a breath
Waking in Colour, Heartfelt unrest

Planning 2 travel, engulfed in a love
Immersed in a purpose
Submerged from above. .

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
