Oysters - Premieres

They floated across the sky, dancing beneath the glow of the warm morning sunshine. From below he orchestrated their movement like some sort of fantastic cloud manager. He named each one, outlining each shape and watching as the shadows wandered atop the hillside beneath each fluffy white orb.

The breeze was soft and gentle as he sat perched atop the hillside breathing in the warm, hazy country air. All the while the world kept spinning whilst he was still and watchful, happy up there. 

Fantastic Man is the first artist to grace a new conceptual record label launched as a collaboration between Love International and Test Pressing. The EP features a collection of balearic, digi dub inspired electronics purpose built for the sunrise.

PREMIERE: Fantastic Man - Cloud Manager [Love International x Test Pressing]

Lithuania’s Ponty Mython brings his signature style of dubbed out cosmic breaks to Not An Animal Records.

The title track Onimano X991 sparkles as it leads the way with a heavy four to the floor bass kick laced with an eerie interstellar melody and signature broken beat drum pattern. Deliciously squelchy interludes and breakdowns are the cherry on the space cake here. Not An Animal are known for bringing in the heavies, this time music round, musical rearrangement aficionado DJ Fett Burger gives ‘Onimano X991’ an atmospheric massage. Launching with an eerie melody recognisable from the original mix but minus the squelch. Fett Burger transcends the track from a 2am floor killer to a 6am floor chiller via a cleverly reprogrammed drum pattern, drawing the stress right out of your deltoids with his beautifully formed fingers like only he does.

‘Walkie Talkie’ is a late night squelch-a-thon from the get go, oozing NAA style with its vocoder arps and space didgeridoos all over its four to the floor kick. Closing out the EP ‘We Expect A Soft Landing’ nails its orbital re-entry calculations, touching down squarely on the realms of ambient dub techno. A tasteful composition reminiscent of something from The Higher Intelligence Agency’s ‘Colourform’. This track leaves us with a perfectly paced build that culminates in chesty bass swells and loads of bleepy sounding arps.

Jogada, the group behind PÚCA001, a Berlin-based trio made up by João Comazzi, Dave Murrin & Gavin Kenny. 

‘Cavalo' is their debut release and is the result of a string of weekly sessions held throughout the stagnant year of 2020, when they were forced to put their dancefloor energy into the studio. After years of friendship and sharing music together, they started exploring what happens when different musical backgrounds join forces.

The group is heavily inspired by traditional Brazilian rhythms, instruments, and sounds from nature, infused with some dusty synthesizers and a quest for exploring the unknown.

Third and closing chapter of the Oyster Tribe series, the revised single edition of Brent Lewis ‘1739’ oozes a mix of breezy outback dreamtime, red earth funk and sun-baked drum virtuosity. Originally issued in 2004 as part of his self-released ‘Drumsex’ album, Lewis’ mystique-imbued tune sculpts a tripped-out hybrid jam out of spoon percs and folk-infused broken beat; and who better than OZ home-boys FIO and Fantastic Man to add their masters' spin to that totemic chugger.

Whilst FIO cranks the BPMs a notch further and beefs up the bass to turn the OG mix into a serious contender for countryside banger of the year, Fantastic Man plays havoc with the whole of Lewis track’s DNA sequence, slicing, dicing and re-hashing its bits and bobs over and over again to form a Southerner variant of the Frankenstein creature, all sight set on busting dancefloors by the dozen.

PREMIERE: Brent Lewis - 1739 (FIO's 3rd Grade Recorder Class) [Kalahari Oyster Cult]

It was easy to give your entire self to work, to let it dictate your life and take over your every waking thought. Switching off was an achievement in itself, some people weren't able to do it, no matter how hard they tried. How idyllic it would be to daydream the day away and let your imagination take you somewhere else; how beautiful it would feel to let your mind be free of commitments and instead just float, float away... 

Milanese duo Eternal Love, AKA Edo and Fede, have quickly made a name for themselves through their joyful DJ sets which connect the dots between Balearic, disco and dusty classic house and breakbeat - check their recent mix for us to hear the vibes for yourself. Always bringing that little bit of soul to their musical endeavours, no matter the genre or style, the pair now translate this feeling to their debut release, a four track EP for Mike Who's Planet Trip Records. Listening to their sets and shows, the music on Altar is exactly what you'd expect the pair to create - it's packed with blissed-out Balearic, smooth street soul and acid-soaked house, best listened to in the sun with a spritz or natural wine in hand, of course.

PREMIERE: Eternal Love - Flotamos [Planet Trip]

Rising from the berliner underground, Longhair have earned with the years a notorious reputation on the scene supported by some of our favourite imprints. Amsterdam's Italo-tastemakers "Bordello a Parigi", "Permanent Vacation" and Paramida's "Love on the Rocks" have found a place for the trance-spacey sound of the berliner based duo.

"Axis Mundi" is a space oddity that rises from our living room all the way to the solar system, Earth, Saturn and Pluto until the end of the Galaxy, no borders, the limit is set by yourself. Hammering and corrosive basslines, full of small little details and shining hidden stars in form of brilliant melodies that will make an exciting journey thru the Milky way.

Longhair show here their great versatility blending different subgenres that vary from Indie dance, leftfield house, Nu-Disco and everything in between and adding their particular cosmic touch and some trancy elements. A record that will work great either at the club wearing our favourite dancing shoes or chilling at home at our sofa.

Get ready for a cosmic trip, to the infinity and beyond..

Label: Kalahari Oyster Cult

Format: Vinyl & Digital
Cat. Number: OYSTER43
EP Title: Voyria
Release Date: December 15th, 2022
Support it: bit.ly/3tw1BSp

Expanding on the blueprint of previous releases, Trieste-born, London-based producer Sohrab is the Kalahari clan’s latest inductee. OYSTER43 is a distillation of the Italian producer’s stylistic scope in its purest form; impeccably crafted dance music with a healthy dose of prog.

Running deep with this one. Smartly refined constructions primed for meditative club use, the first four tracks are rendered in pristine detail. From the widescreen and tunnelling to straight-up utopian, there’s a life-affirming vitality like only the most quintessential '90s prog-house can achieve.

Love On The Rocks is back with our first record of the year – a remix of a obscure psychedelic proto-trance cut from ’93, remastered, reissued and remixed for the future by @roza-terenzi and @alexkassian.

‘State Of Mind’ was first released on Rhythm Design in 1993, then remixed in ’94 by @justin-drake and @o-s-m / Quinn Whalley, AKA Slack, who released their first 12” on @andrew-weatherall’s Sabres of Paradise label and years later would go on to found seminal dance music acts @peacedivision & @paranoid-london.

But not before leaving a trail of fire 12”s and remixes behind them, which they found time to do between running around London, DJing, throwing parties and pulling all nighters in the studio. This, in our view, is the key to it all - equal parts tribal, trance and techno, built around a pulverising kick drum, with synths direct from outer space, incomprehensible computerised vocals seemingly delivered through vocoder, rewinds, and breakdowns galore; it sounds like a transmission from an alien race, relentless and insane.

Roza Terenzi brings typical A-game to her mix, taking down the tempo but amping up the weird, loosely following the original’s structure of build ups and strip downs while lacing its tribal/extra-terrestrial vibes with additional jungle sounds and atmospheric pads, for what feels like a morning stroll through a psychedelic rainforest.

Alex Kassian takes no prisoners with his extended update/workout complete with booming vocal samples, planet-destroying bass and layers of pin- sharp, slamming percussion that smartly echoes the original and retools it for ‘21.

The vinyl comes in a full sleeve with special artwork, inlay with notes from Justin Drake & an exclusive download code.

Strictly limited, vinyl only, no repress!
