Of Paradise continue their Various Artists series with an 11-track masterclass in shapeshifting underground dance music.

Comprised of all new material, the fifth instalment in the label’s VA series showcases a spellbinding collection of cross-genre and multifaceted compositions that mutate from rumbling bass pressure into atmospheric jungle, contorted techno and beyond.

Featuring selected works from Slolek, Kellen303, Destrata, Pugilist, Fiesta Soundsystem, Tom Jarmey, Vilhelm, Fade, Atrice, Lazarus and D3U5E, Of Paradise Vol. 5 is a mesmerising and hallucinatory soundtrack curated to be played out across a shattered club landscape.

A heady fusion of rock’s steely drive, cosmic trance, wiggy acid basslines and cavernous dub, Talk is at once rooted in the turn of the millennium while sounding utterly outside of space and time. A combination of coveted un- and self-released material, the record features a remix, specially commissioned by Betonska, from Naone.

Jin Won Lee (이진원), otherwise known as Gazaebal, is a Korean producer and DJ whose sensual, spacious approach to electronica is rooted in his background as a sound engineer. Having begun his career in New York, in recording studios working with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan and Janet Jackson, his expansive creative repertoire further includes media art and chart-topping K-pop. A member of Tacit Group, a collective creating algorithmic and audiovisual performances, Gazaebal is presently best known for ambient-adjacent soundscapes, yet in the halcyon late 1990s and early 2000s, he synergised a uniquely potent take on club music.

The titular track was initially released in 1999 on the independent imprint dmstrax, established by Gazaebal’s agent and wife, Nine. First appearing on techno@kr, a compilation CD dedicated to Korean electronic musicians, ‘Talk’ is an hybrid, electro-punk anthem. Colliding sung-screeched Korean lyrics with heavy breakbeat, its abrasive textures are delivered with ultra-slick orchestration. Halfway through, the jittery breaks collapse, reprised by momentous four-to-the-floor. It’s this dichotomy between poise and power that characterises the record as Gazaebal flexes his ear for intricate melodies and rocketing build.

Composed alongside Big Hit Productions founder and BTS songwriter Mr. "Hitman" Bang, the original version of 'And So On' was not available for re-release due to licensing difficulties. But thankfully the multitrack was well preserved. Utilising these components, Nawon Ha (AKA Korean-but-Netherlands-based artist Naone) re-imagines the song for Betonska. Remixed with her own hypnotic vocals, she inflects the track with mesmerising, multi-layered dimensions; a fractal, downtempo trance number that connects two generations of underground electronic musicians from South Korea.

From the pulverising kickdrum of ‘Gilda’ to ‘Spiral's acidic dub fuzz, Talk moves between sharp crests, twists, and turns, enveloping driving 4/4 and shuffling half-time. Presented as a mix-friendly mini-album, the carefully selected 6 tracks are ideally tailored to DJ-level quality and loudness. As much suited to the psychedelic rave scene of yesteryear as they are to contemporary dancefloors, Gazaebal’s productions are defined by his idiosyncrasies. Melding the sheen of tight-production with a flagrant DIY spirit, his music assuages the high-commercialism of the 2000s, resulting in a sound that’s as definitely punchy as it is intoxicatingly precise.

PREMIERE CDL || Gazaebal - Talk [Betonska] (2023)

💲 BUY VINYL

During summer of 2023 LEK got the idea to unite norwegian and georgian producers to a compilation for the further enhancing of their nations bond. Rather than just asking for tracks, the label sent out an invitation commissioning everyone involved to make a smooth track. As per usual on LEK, there were no limitations in terms of genre, but the track had to be somewhat relevant to the floor.

The total variety of different expressions far exceeded the label's expectations, and they are proud to present this compilation ranging all the way from deep dubby downtempo, party house, electro in many forms, and multi-crossovers.

« Khurki » is a testament to the ethereal nature of
beauty. It shows us that things which look
distorted or imperfect at frst sight, may in fact
hold shades of perfection. Music is no exception
to this rule, it transforms, evolves and can leave
behind unexpected feelings of wonder.

_URTS & Arslan Elbar, working in collaboration
to produce their own form of perfection, dive
into sounds riddled with blemishes and glitches.
The duo deliver their vision of balance which,
despite unforseen beats and unpredictable
pace, leave you feeling that everything is in it’s
place.
