FS001 - Castalia Drops

First insert coming from the sublabel Feng Shit of Décalé Records, gentle madness driven by Orsett & Fisher. Am Khamsaa delivers a laydown-session fitting to every kind of temperature. Winterhur based and Kraftfeld's lurker, Am Khamsaa celebrates a static venture with falling cubic keyboard's moves and peaceful throat's lucubrations. Swim in and-joy.

Le morceau « Buddleia », du producteur basque @explorationssilencieuses ouvre les portes d’un univers atmosphérique et psychédélique tout en douceur, semblant chuchoter une légèreté divine. Mélange de profondeurs intenses et de sonorités scintillantes, le titre est un avant-goût avant la sortie de l'ensemble de la compilation Castalia Drops, à paraître le 23 mars sur le nouveau sub-label de @decalerecords : Feng Shit Records.

Born from eponymous LYL’s radioshow, Feng Shit Records becomes Décalé’s sublabel for new imprints and scattered directions: a balanced perception between softening aural breeze and spiritual dance substrate.

Castalia Drops delivers a futuristic testament to club / no-club music, rooted in melancholy, and inspired by the fountain of Castalia, whose waters promise poetic creation to all those who drink from it or listen to its murmur. 14 tracks from forewarned visionaries (Epsilove and Christian Coiffure); the freshly illuminated (OKO DJ, Dhakira, Explorations Silencieuses); an ode to aural breezes (Eiger Drums Propaganda, Aloe, AM Khamsaa); psychedelics rituals (Gavr, One Foot Step & Nitrate); and spiritual dance substrates (Tai Rona, 808Hz, Yolek, Antoine).

The 4-sided insert contains inspirational texts and poems provided by some of the artists in their languages of preference like Romanche and Hungarian, among others.

When Her Lust Had Returned

PREMIERE : OKO Dj - When Her Lust Had Returned [Feng Shit Records]

The flowers hung out over the water, the riverbed a beautiful masquerade of bright beautiful colours which danced and glistened in the reflection of the pond. Boats moved slowly past, taking in the sights of the elegant gardens which drifted by. From time to time they could hear the echoes of birds in the trees which overlooked this special place in the outback of a country lost to the depths of time, Amuka was serene. 

Tai Rona appears on a new split compilation from Feng Shit, a sub label of Decale, designed to highlight electronic and experimental music from contemporary artists. The first release on the newly launched imprint also includes music from the likes of OKO Dj and Christian Coiffure. 

This track, called "Amuka",  by Tai Rona is a highlight.

[PREMIERE] OneFootStep & Nitrate - The L [Feng Shit Records]

These were the things which kept her joyous, the things which made her feel alive and consider a change of perspective. For life did not have to be so rushed, she was free to do and to think and to feel as she pleased - for that is what the flowers and the animals did. She watched them in the wild fields all through the day as they came and went minding their own business on the great plains. This was peaceful, tranquil escapism. The perfect form of bliss. 

Tryphème features on a new compilation from Lyon based record label AR/FM. Titled "Selected Ambient, Synth & Pop Works" the release showcases up and coming talent from friends.

Know Sequence

After 5 years of 'Fortnightly Freebies' columns collating our favourite free downloads, we decided to do things a bit differently for the 100th chapter. Introducing 'Big Material', a 19-track 'name your price' compilation that will donate 100% of profits made to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity supporting some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society.

At a time when unfair austerity is increasing inequality and leaving so many behind, we hope to support a community that has given so much to the 'scene' and music we love. Digi-dub abstractions and drifting ambient to kaleidoscopic breaks and newly-coined genre, 'subtle donk', it's a pretty accurate microcosm of the If-Only curation as a whole.

Big Material pulls together music from some of If-Only's favourite artists, with tracks from @apsychicyes, @riveryarra, Material Things (@12th-isle), @priori-ties, @nicholaswilson1982 & @steviewhisper, @benoitb, @maxabysmal, @58daniel, @bogdan-drazic, @whyesss, @twitch, @warzouk, @thomasbakk, @eyemeasure, @rdjm0, @furiousfrank, Moonphase (AKA @cl_lit), @moonbowmusic and @aki-aki.

--------------

Soft and calm, we, like light
fray into gentle chaos.
Big material unfurls
Then turns to collect, reform –
Like breaths, draw in
To new poise and structure;
Solid and slow.
Never still. Glacial.

Think back, before
A piece of things,
Moving alone, once a part –
But when is the fragment
not the whole?
When is the whole not the whole?
The salt which made the chalk
Which made the cliff
Which made the slate -

Hard to see,
Once a part and still, we are,
A piece of something else.

--------------
All profits go to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity working to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people live in safer homes, free from fear, where they can celebrate their identity and support each other to achieve their full potential.

River Yarra - Cafe Del Frog

Originally slated for release in 2018 as it’s debut release, multimedia platform Eternal Ocean is now proud to present:  ‘Plant Lyfe Vol. 1’, a collection of three collaborative projects that feature a rotating cast of artists that include Teleself, Ronan, Acemo and DJ Temporary. Recorded between 2016-2018 at Felt Presence Studios in Ridgewood, New York the results of these collaborations run the gamut of breakbeat house and alien techno to aquatic dub and downtempo explorations. Drawing from their experiences as DJ’s and dancers in the Brooklyn underground, these 12 tracks represent some of the sonic inspirations from late nights and early mornings spent in trance. Represented here is a moment of connection and communion in a place that emphasized separation and individualism and the raw quality of the recordings reflect the immediacy and playful character of those moments. This CD also acts as a companion piece to the ‘Felt Presence’ LP on Vanity Press Records featuring more recordings from this creatively fruitful period.

25% of all profits from this release will be donated to the Translatina Coalition in support of marginalized people during this global crisis.

Plant Lyfe Volume One

Even a historical pandemic couldn't take summer hits away from our hearts. Exceptional circumstances means extraordinary compilation.

Worst Records' hall of fame welcomes new faces around the pool for a 13-stages enlightened drama. You'll meet again with the top 3 podium made of A Strange Wedding, Jacques Satre and Christian Coiffure, all rensponsible for our first three releases, building up a mesmerizing, out of season mental workout. Extending the dimension of trance towards Saint-Etienne, Del.Duc brings on a curious yet serene astral travel, and we can also count on the distant reinforcements from the Toulouse Gouffre Club crew with Jan Loup and her glitch spangled hazy dub from far futures and the new trance comer from Bordeaux, Lazuli.
Special friends are also gathering here, as Myako is sewing on thin fabric a vaporous dub in shades of grey, the one-and-only master touki Théo Muller delivers a cinematic remedy to confinement.
Liberation through hearing, it is, as borders explode with the presence of many : Yin Yang Audio in a transatlantic IDM/break jump, Forest on Stasys (aka Mental Resonance) and his tough shamanic dance, Clemens Friedrich slowing down all senses at once and JEANS, boss of Oracle Bones, speeding us up in the hyperloop.
Finally, as teamwork means a lot, we have given the pleasure to open this compilation to the four-headed Lausanne/Freiberg hydra 4POTR and their cryptic transdimensional message, and the honor of closing this pool party to the 404 trio gem from Candoblé with a fine piece of wonder.

Not exactly your usual summer compilation, nor the hits you could imagine, but surely the music you'll need under the hot sun of 2020.

Myako - Les Fils De Jah

Mastered by Feldermelder.

1 - NVST - Safer Safe (When Doggos Building Bridges Mix)

The Enchantress emerges just after the Full Moon, after ovulation and so coincides with the pre-menstrual part of the cycle. 
She is the medicine woman, the untamed one, the awakening soul who will not rest.
The Enchantress is wild because she needs to be.
She needs to run, headfirst and arrow-straight into the heart of every experience. And she needs her wildness to be able to traverse the worlds. She senses, intuits and feels the spectrum of feels, without censoring herself.
This is a sacred phase filled with wisdom, teaching and the passing down of medicine songs, tools, advice and skills. In this phase, we recognize the life, death, life cycle that is present all around the Universe.
