February Premieres

Strapontin - Eunuque playlist

Eunuque (Invisible Inc)

Animaux is a six track release by Justas Jelisejevas, it’s his second self-released mini-album that revolves around topics of animate reality, visual arts and music.
The idea for the release came into fruition through sonic experiments made in the past while looking for ways to substitute human singing with other sounds. In simple terms animals are the singers and lead
performers in each track.
The instrumental parts of every track are made to support vocalizations of animals and animal voices are chosen to resonate with digital instruments. Animaux explores and interprets wild animals trough electronic music.

Premiere : Jelisejev - Gibbon - Gibonas [Self Released]

The amazon-naut is Bep Kororoti's second album, the LP arrives at Modern Obscure Music after his mid-2020 release “Love is the way", an EP in collaboration with African singer Akin that aimed to be one of the hits of the summer when the first restrictions were announced during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Clubs, and festivals from half of the planet had to cancel plans for the rest of the year.

This second album inspired by the ancient space warrior who brought joy and new knowledge to this little community from the Amazon river is composed of clear ethnic influences, loaded with minimalist rhythms and fragments of film sequences. The LP goes hand in hand with the reinterpretation of the Brazilian Koyapos tribe myth by Marcio Matos, a visual artist in charge of giving face and image to the mesmerizing  Portuguese label Principe Discos since its inception.

PREMIERE – Kubebe – Ustou Reggae (Hard Fist)

Two of the finest french shamans unite around the Ultra Low Velocity project.

A Strange Wedding & Antoine have contributed to give Saint Etienne a taste of psychedelia and freedom thanks to the Positive Education Festival and their label Worst Records.

It's about transe, fractals & spirituality.

PREMIERE : A Strange Wedding - Age Of Empire Goes At War In Space

Three years in the making only to be held up almost another year due to COVID and now finally seeing the light of day, is this brooding monster of a record by Brussels based Strapontin, aka multi-disciplinary artist Patrick Belmont.

Clocking in at over 35-minutes the record is almost album length and spans a multitude of depths and moods with elements of techno, new wave, rock 'n' roll, house and tribal…...all glued together with a uniquely sleazy atmosphere.

Add to this a heads-down-no-nonsense darkroom beast of a remix by techno maestro Sascha Funke and the package is complete.

Strapontin provides us with some insight:
“It started with a desire to move away a bit from my 'dancefloor' side and go into more undefined fields, I wanted to work with blurry sensations that I can't understand. I like mixed feelings. Dramatex 300 is made of that ambivalent mood. The voice is saying 'I'm feeling empty' and 'I'm feeling healthy' at the same time. I like that paradox. Eunuque is a song but is also a character I will develop in a short movie (which will act as the 'music video' of the song). The Eunuque is a character full of anger yet he doesn't want to fight nor has he a target to aim at. A restrained aggressivity is boiling inside him/it that has no opportunity to escape from the body and gain release. The song is the fever he feels from these inner battles. I think Le Bain d'Huile and Anti-sceptical have the same slow and angry feeling. I'm proud of these tracks because they are a bit mysterious to me and it feels like they controlled me more than I controlled them.”

PREMIERE169 // Strapontin - Dramatex 300

In the small village, whispers quickly became truth, ancient legends became scripture. Many stories had passed through the generations about the old man and those who'd come before him; he'd been painted as maleficent, as the strange offspring of evil powers. The anger that these rumours caused began to boil up inside him, but he found nowhere to direct it, instead he bottled it up and continued to keep himself to himself. Here, people thought these tall tales gospel, and so he ostracised himself, scorned by stories beyond his control. Perhaps he'd simply meant to exist alone.

Recorded over three years (then sadly delayed for another year due to Covid) the next release from the Invisible Inc camp is finally seeing the light of day — and it's well worth the wait. Coming courtesy of Belgian multi-disciplinary artist Strapontin, who follows releases on Hard Fist, Optimo Digital Dance Force and tablon, the four tracks (backed by a remix from the ever-dependable Sascha Funke) see him depart from the dancefloor, instead exploring fuzzy rhythms and sleazy EBM and punk influences.

New Day Everyday launches 2021 with their debut compilation and brings forward the roots and essence of their musical sphere.

Gathering around close friends and favorite artists from all over the world to provide this ‘craving for the dancefloor’ piece of a compilation.

Starting off with the sneaky rocknrollish Sebastian Tex ‘Hisdraya’ to set you on the right frequency, keep rolling with the wonderboy Astroloop and his ‘Dizziness’ to get you into a dancing mood, maintaining the tension with the Mexican ‘King Of Trassh’ Thomass Jackson and his dark cinematic synths, releasing the leash as the tornado ‘Konnakol’ comes in by the upcoming Israelis Gionist & Turgi, leaving you afloat in an acid extravaganza with ‘The Pi and the Pedestal’ by the never-ending Zillas On Acid, gaining a romantic expansion and a kiss by Skelesys ‘Do It Again’ and finally a stormy farewell with Junto Club lovely accent on ‘Son Of A Gun’ by the labels bosses Niv Ast & Eliezer.

It’s a hell of a trip and it's worth it.

Exhausted Modern builds on his artistic journey with the release of the Year of the Rat remixes EP, a collective reinterpretation that takes the murky, hidden depths of the album to new rhythmic dimensions.

Philipp Otterbach starts off the A-side with a spellbinding composition for the thoughtful, dissolving Pineal Gland into an ethereal cluster of solemn melodies and vocals. Annechoic's take on Apathy Eats You Alive delves into the melodic side of the track, polishing it for the dance floor. Poperttelli draws out T-Maze from dark introspection to beats that waver between a glitch and a heartbeat, with the feeling of having been resuscitated.

The B-Side sees Ayaz putting words to a 180-degree spin on Food of the Gods with hallucinogenic dynamism: a grimy tale of facing the unavoidable. Finally, NVST returns with her Hifive remix of Hard Working Rats, oscillating between heavy and melancholic with soul-permeating resonance.

Taken from the two sonic explorers’ jam sessions in Berlin, these four tracks delve into subaquatic machinery and synaptic oscillations. Intuitive, time-distorting, mind melting improvisations recorded between 2019 and 2020 in Matthias Kanik's (GATS) studio.

For the first time, these soundwaves have been translated into the physical world in the shape of a limited Cassette (K7) pressing, inaugurating the Curuba Tapes series.

The release also features remixes showcasing the label’s diverse and
adventurous sonic palette : equatorian duo Zoroxxe (Joaquin Cornejo & Quixosis) deconstructs Cristal Sirens’ rhythmical intricacies with an abstract footwork reinterpretation, while Curuba co-founder Ditti twists Steppe into a sensible, playfully psychedelic ketapop version. Label heads Psycho Tropiques mash-up several elements from the EP into Cristal Echoes, a two-tempo leftfield club track inspired by dub floating ambiences & jersey club bounces. Parisian artist and label friend Machka closes the release with a beautiful, harmonically rich trip-hop version of Steppe.

Tracklist:

1. Cristal Siren
2. Trance Illusion 04:58
3. Steppe (ft. T.J Brockmann)
4. Final Echoes
5. Cristal Siren (Zoroxxe remix)
6. Steppe (Ditti dodo remix)
7. Cristal Echoes (Psycho Tropiques' Lotus sentimental dimension remix)

With such a collaboration heavy project in the “Yet Another Kito Jempere Album” announced it is no surprise that this following remixes pack comes laden with familiar friends’n’family, plus additional support.   

Taking the ambient meets acappella paene Your Ghost In Me and creating one of his on-point dance floor dramas, Lipelis (Animals Dancing / LIES), utilising Hard Ton’s classic ‘US House’ vocal delivery to create a perfect “big room” anthem.

Next up Born Free boss, Samo DJ (Public Possession / Trilogy Tapes) pumps A King Of Comets with Mood II Swing punch meets Ballistic Brothers riddim’n’culture for some hip-breaks-dancehall swing.   

Cable Toy (Low Budget Family) presents the label favourite with his bouncing, yearning remix of album stand out, Time Traveller.   Countered with a perfect touch of summer vibrations and melancholia this up and coming St Petersburg resident has to be watched.  

Finally, Linja (Avidiya / Malka Tuti) offers a deep, shuffling version of Untitled Ritual.  Arpeggios throb, percussion snaps, tempos shift, planets realign, vocals by Noteless call…wait believing, just we have seen it, God is waiting, nothing can bleeding. 

Only friends. Only family. This is Kito’s emotional response.
