“The Early Years” is a retrospective of Black Light Smoke’s formative beginnings. Written mostly in 2010, before Black Light Smoke was a dance music name. These songs reflect a period of unfiltered creativity and adventure in the artist’s development. Not bound to any genre, this album begs for repeated listens to uncover the aural mysteries of disparate worlds.
The production of The Early Years involved trashy guitar amps, obscure pedals, unconventional recording techniques, and the warm hiss and warble from 4 track cassette recording. The tracks “123456789” and “Celeste” feature heavily overdubbed guitars and vocals, clearly My Bloody Valentine inspired. “The Figure” is an eerie piano and vocal ballad describing the last moments of someone’s life. The track that comes closest to dance music is “Black Light Smoke”, (which actually inspired the artist's name), featuring the wobbly synth line of a Juno106. Overall, this records is a dive into the artist's deep mind and emotions, expressed in beautiful noise and overlapping melodies.
Black Light Smoke first teamed up with Cut Mistake Music in 2012 to release his album “Thriller” under the alias John Hughes Daydream. Together again to release “The Early Years”, the artist and label owner Connor Whiriskey completed mixes for the album in Nashville during the 2017 solar eclipse. Having gathered dust for nearly 10 years, the songs on this album tell a story of the artist’s past, as well the story of coming full circle to completion.

Following the release of Indonesian experimental duo Senyawa new album “Alkisah”, les ateliers claus and Kiosk Radio are proud to present "Alkisah" REMIXED.The Brussels-based projects are proud to invite Sugai Ken (Japan), Céline Gillain (Belgium), Sagat (Belgium), Tolouse Low Trax (Germany), Dntel (USA) and Front de Cadeaux (Italy/Belgium) to reshape ‘Alkisah’ stories. Through this eclectic selection of artists, Les Ateliers Claus and Kiosk Radio aim to bring a variety of musical genres and shine a different and surprising light on Senyawa’s compositional works. Going from a musique-concrète approach, towards dub, experimental club and dance floor bangers, the Remix LP highlights the timelessness of Senyawa's music.Senyawa's Alkisah was co-released a few weeks ago by 44 independent record labels from all over the globe, in an attempt to decentralise the hierarchical workings of the music industry and its distribution system. Each label partner was given "carte blanche” on artwork, promotion, packaging and number of copies released. The labels involved were also encouraged to include remixes from local artists, leading to hundreds of reinterpretations around the world.“Decentralization should be the future. It’s not about Senyawa anymore. It’s not about our album. We don’t want to dominate anybody. This can be anyone’s music.” - Rully Shabara

PREMIERE | Senyawa - Istana (Front De Cadeaux Dub Version) [les albums claus x Kiosk Radio] 2021

Bergamo-based label PHO BHO lands for the first time on our platform, peeps! This is also the first time they release a compilation: Featuring thirteen tracks, “Pho Beat Bazar Vol. 1” embodies the classical atmosphere you breathe in an Asian Market, a jumbled stand where whoever is patient enough to root around can find the oddest goods. The EP depicts a shared virtual place where different artists – including a couple of our favourites amidst the so-called Dark Disco/Indie Dance scene: A-Tweed (SXDNS222/FREEDL029) and Radial Gaze – come close together through the power of music.

The piece we chose to review/premiere, "Rovine Circolari", is one of those tracks that you cannot define either the genre or BPM so easily: If you consider its speed is only 99 BPMs, then you can label it as a Cold Wave-influenced tune and close your eyes while immersing into the gloomy trip it intends to lead you to; however, if your body craves to dance to it as if its pace were 199 BPMs, then you are facing a dangerous Gabber-infused theme. 

The mastermind behind such cool weirdness is Florence-based Matteo Mugnai aka Nero Zang, a young and creative artist part of the Tropical Animals collective. According to Matteo himself, his work can be described as “music from the fourth world, a psychedelic path among primitive exotic rhythms and cosmic explorations”. The kid definitely likes to think out of the box.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://phobhorecords.bandcamp.com/

Follow @nerozang & @phobhorecords, peeps!

PREMIERE184 // Nero Zang - Rovine Circolari

As he entered he cast his eyes around the room, taking in a mirage of flickering colours and luminous buttons. He had been travelling for what had felt like a lifetime through the dense and murky undergrowth in search of the mysterious cavern. Now as he sat perched upon the rubble he truly knew his purpose.

Hiber-nation EP was Recorded at Siesta Delfauno, Buenos Aires, Argentina in December 2019. A place steeped in history and that has seen artists like Carl Craig , DJ Hell and Rob Acid grace its halls. Ara-u worked alongside engineer and member of Argentinian electronic band Klauss Pablo Gil, while getting lost in red wine and deep into the jam amongst a mix of analogue machines. Ara-u edited the resulting takes and put together the EP : Hiber-nation

Take a deep breath, the song says, and keep your head under our boot, cause the second EP on Whypeopledance is coming your way.

After the confrontational Jack Carel EP in February, Whypeopledance is back with Marching Machines’ „Basement“ EP, a release dedicated to all the flashes you’re having of the culture we miss so much, to each hiss of the fog machine you remember, everybody you ever touched on the dance floor, and each staircase that took you underground.
Marching Machines are electronic music producer Dimitri Andreas, and former Radius Records boss and DJ, Spacid, both proudly wearing t-shirts saying „More than two decades in the biz“, and hailing from the country that gave the world some of the best electronic music ever, Belgium! Their new EP contains three original tracks, two remixes, and one instrumental, bringing us to a total of 6 reasons to peek through the keyhole and check out what’s hiding in the „Basement“ on our Bandcamp page.

Starting off with „Clamps“, Marching Machines open with a track for the nipples of the world and every club toilet queue you ever waited. The second track „Spreader“ brings you to the deepest darkroom fantasies by presenting memorable melodies. „Leash“ introduces deviant howls and nasty verses by Lithuania’s best-kept secret, Jaroška, something that would easily go on repeat in Gaspard Noe’s RECTUM club from Irreversible.

We are also happy to introduce two very unique flips to fill the basement's prophecy. Carcass Identity remix of „Leash“ is lubed to the bone, an omen of an incoming trip for the dirtiest of dancers. The second remixer on the EP is Five Rituals taking the originally singing synths of the future and cold-blooded march in the „Spreader“ for a walk on the break side of things.

The world may be falling apart, but it isn’t because you didn’t get any, is it?

[WPD02] Marching Machines - Basement 0011 Snippets

The wheels had been in motion for a while now, long before the revelations of last night had thrown a spanner in the works. Their trip had been planned to the tee: accommodation, travel, activities, a roadmap to their dream destination. But now trust had been compromised and guilt had reared its ugly head; would the journey really be worth the pain?

Goa trance is at the core of Vilnius-based label Electric Shapes' next release — an album from Rambal Cochet, the alias of St. Petersburg-based producer Volta Cab. Having previously released music for Soil Records and IDA Sound, he brings his signature touch to his new LP 'Chaos Is Order Yet Undeciphered', which is fuelled by drama, mystery and tension. To add to the magic, the label have invited local producer Jokios Kulturos, Frankfurt's Tassilo and Anatolian Weapons to take Volta Cab's trance-inducing trips off road and down new, thrilling paths.

Chaos Is Order Yet Undeciphered

PREMIERE: Rambal Cochet - Guilty Trip [Electric Shapes]

Life had become nomadic; they travelled from place to place, finding shelter for a day or two before moving on to new climes. It wasn't the life they'd chosen for themselves, but they had no choice in the matter. This existence had been forced upon them by powers far much greater than their own; now their only mission was finding a safe space to inhabit.

Milanese label Nothing Is Real took a brief interlude from showcasing what Italy's fertile music scene has to offer with their 'Made In Mexico' compilation earlier this year, and now they return their attention to their stomping ground through the sounds of Gabriele Lori, aka Astroloop. Marking his debut solo outing, following collaborations on Freerange Records, the three original tracks touch on several sonic influences—from hypnotic house to mid-tempo grooves and driving synthwave—and are bolstered by a remix from Mexican producers Theus Mago and Moisees.

PREMIERE: Astroloop - Safer [Nothing Is Real]
