thanks so much for the premiere yo!!! yeaaaaa 

Andy Bell (RIDE) under his GLOK alter ego has delivered a stunning rework of the gorgeous title track taken from the second album by ambient-techno group Herrmann Kristoffersen. Andy has tapped deep into the dub at the heart of the original, with echoes of John Carpenter's soundtracks and his own extended electronic excursions under the GLOK moniker.

Luca Averna and Ale Doretto are two Venezians living in Ibiza that aim to capture the true musical spirit of the island under their Residentes Balearicos guise. Often collaborating with Chris Coco, Luca and Ale maintain the breezy and free energy so synonymous with the White Isle through their polished productions, deftly moving between languid beach side chillers to intoxicating house music. With two superb outings on Kenneth Bager’s Music For Dreams label, the pair now make an offering on Joe Morris’ nascent Shades Of Sound imprint with the Postales EP.

‘Noche De Verano’ captures the mid to late Eighties Balearic flavour to a tee; chunky drums and big snares, children chanting, heavenly keys and wistful flutes all combine to create that perfect alfresco dancing moment. ‘Soleada’ slows the pace for an early evening ride, with a Larry Heard style deep house groove. Gentle keys and male vocal motifs melt over pulsing arps and gated pads.

Joe Morris flips the energy with his Soleada remixes, creating an Italian dream house inspired take on his Halcyon mix and a blissed out breakbeat version with the Twilight mix. Camilo Miranda twists Noche De Verano into a warm up club cut, respectfully keeping the original tone and adding a subtle italo-disco bass riff and synth stabs,

This is a release perfect for the on-coming warmer months; five tracks designed for dancing under the sun and stars alike where finally we will once again come together with our friends to experience life and music x.

The Gun Well Street are pleased to present The Gun Aid LP. 14 tracks that perfectly encapsulate the sound of one of too many guinnesses underneath the neon lights late into the evening. The kind of leftfield jams we love, be it techno, house, dub, EBM or industrial. An eclectic bunch of oddballs, just like our regulars.

Many of our nearest and dearest have donated songs, including Daniel Avery, Nitzer Ebb, Roisin Murphy, Andy Bell (as GLOK), and The 2 Bears’ Raf Rundell. We’ve got the first ever track from Mister Deltoid, the brand new project by Nathan Gregory Wilkins & Paranoid London’s Quinn Whalley. Ivan Smagghe and C.A.R. make up I.C.A.R. Body Hammer’s Scott Fraser, Richard Sen, Cherrystones, Nuphonic’s Dave Hill & the Ballistic Brothers as Soul Revivers, Arveene Juthan & Shamon Cassette as Bon Voyage, Skylab with Cecile Loyez, and our very own Mondowski are all on board. Design work, as ever, by Rusty. We’d like to thank everyone involved not just for their contributions, but for their continued support and friendship.

The Gun isn’t just a music venue, it’s very much a community pub in-fact, of all the artists on the tracklist, only Roisin hasn’t DJed there (yet). A year of disastrous Tory policy in the face of a global pandemic and things have never been so tough, but that doesn’t just go for us. It goes for the entire community. As such, proceeds from this project will be split between keeping the pub afloat, and to be donated to local families via charity Hackney Quest. Hackney Quest are a local charity who have worked with The Gun in coordinated projects, such as organising an anti-racism street festival on Well Street over the last few years.

All bandcamp pre-orders will also receive digital downloads of tracks from Jorge Velez and Toresch which have never been released digitally before.

From Jersey all the way to NYC, The Josh Craig describes himself as a musical scientist, tapping into often unfathomable or lesser recognised mental needs within his music. As an all-round creator, he is immersed in his work as a designer, publisher, illustrative artist, photographer, film-maker, music producer, DJ… the list could go on. 

Recognising the dancefloor as a place of relocation, an integral space for human beings to learn about oneself, The Josh Craig sees the existence of dancefloors everywhere. Not just in clubs, but in the living room or kitchen of a friend, on the driveway or even in the supermarket aisle; we’ve all been there. His debut album ‘Who We Are As People’ is made purposefully to offer the headspace for us to explore anywhere, anytime.  

In making this body of work, he acknowledges how the process opened him up to identify with emotions and thoughts that may have otherwise been ignored. This fact culminates in an album that is part a journey within self, but also an offering to others to begin their own, aiding them on their way. Moving through different speeds, genres and sound textures, The Josh Craig dives into the concept of Sound Healing across the album.

Informed by the composition of jazz and orchestral music, along with the raw mixing techniques found in reggae, dub-reggae, traditional chilean and even new wave, ‘Who We Are As People’ sees attention to detail come alive within his preference for atmospherics. This album pairs down the technicalities of the aforementioned genres with the best parts of ambient, minimal techno, electro and breaks. Using completely raw analogue methods, The Josh Craig plays out each album track in full takes, imagining the finished piece as if it would be played with a live band. ‘Who We Are As People’ sees an artist who does not mimic certain sounds, rather focusing on technique and a belief in sound as a deeply healing entity.

Gone Gold is the second album from Herrmann Kristoffersen, aka Daniel Herrmann (Flug 8) and Kristina Kristoffersen. Mastered by Jörn Elling Wuttke (The Primitive Painter) it is inspired by the world of gaming and the idea of composing an imaginary soundtrack for the classic racing video game Need for Speed, but in their unique style - kosmische techno, ambient soundscapes and gauzy electronica. 

Creating an imaginary soundtrack for a game and working apart due to Covid-imposed travel restrictions (Daniel in their house in the Taunus woods outside Frankfurt, Kristina in a summerhouse in northern Denmark), it was logical that the couple would use the shortcuts from the gamers’ world to communicate with each other.

Every title represents an aspect of that, providing an insight into how to interpret the song, creating your own online gaming world while listening. From the early-Autechre/AI machine-funk stylings of 1LC (One Life Clear: playing through a video game from start to finish without ever losing a life) and the soulful, space-age techno of Mud (Multi-User Dungeon: a multiplayer real-time virtual world, usually text-based) to the euphoric shoegaze-IDM of 4X (an abbreviation of Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate - a subgenre of strategy-based computer and board games) and the stately, dubbed-out closer Season (a season pass is a form of video game monetisation in which consumers purchase a discounted package for current and future downloadable content).

The term “Gone Gold” (the album’s exceptional title track) comes from the term “gold master”, which is a version of the game that the publisher has determined is good enough to be shipped to stores. (Back then, recordable CDs were manufactured with gold film.) 

However, the album is not just a salute to the gaming industry, Gone Gold also represents an awareness of how it is a growing influence in our lives - for good and bad - especially in these Covid times. 

“The computer has taken over from the television,” explains Kristina, who used to work as a composer for Nintendo. "The escape into the gaming world is an open invitation to let out all the worry and problematic things in life. Millions of children and grown-ups are online communicating all over the world with each other every second of the day. That is pretty wild. I could never have imagined that back in the Nineties when I was playing with my Gameboy."

For their fourth release, Paris-based label Mercredi Records host Quidam's musical universe, through an eight-track album made of original compositions. Building up on the musical identity he defined through his previously released edits - blending influences to resonate into the body and soul - Quidam delivers a more intimate journey here, taking listeners to the sonic landscapes that shaped him. Representation rather than imitation, Mimèsis is a synthesis of memories, places and encounters - which unpretentiously aims at seizing the moment
