DJ Balaton - Don't Listen To This At Night

Spiritual SundayZ Vol.8

Artist: @soelaela
Stream/Buy: www.linktr.ee/scissorandthread

Soela is the DJ and production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely impactful transition into electronic music.

Having released material on such labels as Kompakt, Dial, Shall Not Fade, Lost Palms, E-Beamz, Red Ember Records, Sushitech, and others, Soela joins the ranks of Scissor & Thread for this exquisite album - Dark Portrait. 

The album opens in a typically understated manner with Unsuitable - a melancholic trip-hop adjacent track that sets the tone for the next 8 pieces. As Soela explains, “I was dealing with some very complex feelings, so I came up with this album, which helped me not to despair, to work on myself, to grow internally, and to start listening to myself. It helped me to keep sane when my country invaded Ukraine with a full scale war. It absolutely broke my heart, and music was one of my main salvations.” 

This complex mix of emotions plays out across the album with tracks that utilize her beautiful musicality (Through the Windows feat. Francis Harris and Philipp Priebe, Drowning feat. Module One) and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes (Spirits, Lost In The Fog) and lose-yourself dancefloor moments such as the collaboration with Lawrence on February Is Not Going To Be Forever. The title track Dark Portrait combines dubby elements with affecting pads and melodic touches, while the lead single Even If I Ask You Stay delves into multiple feelings around escaping toxic situations, and battling depression. It features a powerful vocal from Soela supported by a deeply affecting arrangement. The closing track The Darkest Hour Before Sunrise brings a sense of hope and light, balancing subdued keys and strings with ethereal tones and atmospheres

Jimmy Got Jamz - that man changed [Jazz House]

Israel’s hottest export follow up excellent EPs on Hivern and I’m A Cliché with a 3-tracker for the global psychedelic cult of Multi Culti.

Tel Aviv’s Red Axes are one of the most exciting new acts in dance music, with rich sound that is musical, deep, trippy and organic, while remaining precise and lethally effective in the club. The range in their sound is impressive, their talent unmistakeable. They are one of our favourite artists of the year, and this latest record is one of their best yet.

Lead track 'Waiting for a Surprise’ builds around a mid-tempo disco bassline, with tough percussion, and rugged synth stabs, but it’s the eerie and unique sounding vocals of Brazilian collaborator Abrao that bring everything together. This one is a guaranteed bomb for building up, tearing down, peak time or chilling out… an outstanding track in every sense, the kind that force trainspotters to the DJ booth to discover what’s playing. Next up, ‘Hope’ kicks off with resonant, delayed toms, adding a haunting howl and synths before dropping into a wild, clanging, carnivalesque frenzy. It’s understated, but advanced, with an interesting arrangement that really opens up in the second half. Finally, 'The Metal Bender’ slows the tempo but ups the vibe into an elated, slow-burning space-disco anthem. Fantastic stuff!

Melbourne’s Kris Baha, fresh from launching his Power Station imprint, offers a stripped down remix of ‘Waiting for a Surprise,’ with a heavy, industrial-influenced groove that wanders into the deep, dark end of party strasse.

Multi Culti Transmission XIII feat. Simple Symmetry

Whether it’s chugging cold wave, slow-mo electro or warped neo-trance, the music Manfredas writes and spins maintains a wild off-kilter charm that makes him one of the most exciting DJ/producers on the planet right now.

After playing on the radio circuit in Lithuania since he was just 13 years old, his name was launched to the world through the release of 'Pink Industry' on Ivan Smagghe and Leon Oakey's prolific Les Disques De La Mort imprint in 2016. The EP introduced his unique brand of freaky psychedelia that borrows the best of new wave, leftfield disco, synth-pop, krautrock and more and molds them into motorik dancefloor gold.

With a collection of artists from his home city of Vilnius, Manfredas also runs the Smala parties at Opium Club, which celebrates its fifth birthday at the Garzen Festival at the end of January with Red Axes, Abrão (live), local heroes 12 Inčų Po Žeme and more. The club - cited by numerous discerning selectors as one of their favorite places to play on the planet - is also where Manfredas spins many of his famed marathon sets, which have led to him being referred to as the 'people's champion' in his home town.

Episode 13 - Brazil

Brazil, one of the most precious places to me on this earth.
I was lucky enough to live in and out of Sao Paulo last year for a few months. Waking to papayas and acaí, trips to the padaria and through dense green jungly mountains, being shown a whole new world of music, rhythm and energy that is a complete contrast to what I had known before. I think that maybe explains at least a little of my fascination.

This one has been one of the hardest - how to squeeze this country into one hour? So many artists with so many gem tracks.
This mix is more about my favorite tracks than giving you a diverse 'unheard' selection.. this is only the beginning.
I’ll just have to do a part two!

Samba, Choro, Latin Jazz, Frevo, Bossanova, Tropicalia, and Forró are just a few of the styles of music you can find within Brazil’s rich, never-ending music offerings.

Sending love and thanks to all the Brazilian influences:
My dearest mountain family (gabito, rafael, mel, flippy), Flaneur magazine, andre, spaniol, kotoe, daniel ,ale, renato, voodoohop family, goethe institut sao paulo, sonido tropico, BLUM, carlos costa, quarto fresta, and many more that i’m sure i’ve forgotten in all my memories.

Love,
Billy

Uncanny Valley's Jacob Korn puts the pressure on Conga Fever's "Chihuahua" and steers the original towards a heavy new-beat-esque groove with sharply resonating claps and chugging bassline, as the Hamburd-based Mireia Records marks its tenth release with a split EP between two musically-minded outfits: Amsterdam’s Pin Up Club and Berlin's Conga Fever.

Premiere: Conga Fever - Chihuahua (Jacob Korn Remix) [Mireia Records]

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.

Sascha Funke & Niklas Wandt - Die Säge [MC043]

Harold's Boué aka Abstraxion aka Lion's Drums from Marseille new goodie!  Hot day in this cozy town of France with not enough sleep. It inspired Harold to work on new tracks around the idea of creating music to reflect his city: a bit rough, but luminous and influenced by elements of Mediterranean, African and Northern European cultures. This has translated into a heavily percussive sound, in which tribal disco grooves invoke the spirits of voodoo-techno. The project's name is a tribute to the astrological sign of Harold’s son, who was born at the same time as the music on the EP.
