Fatih Tuter - Anda

UNCH029 is a hand-stamped white label 12" due for release early May 2011 (digital will be available a couple of weeks later). Three enigmatic tracks from mystery arctic producer Ukkonen. An album is also in the works for later in the year.

Ukkonen - Kaksi

I think the collaborative project by Zach Frizzell (zakè) and Damien Duque (City Of Dawn) first saw the light of day back in 2020 when these two ambient artists got together to release Wander on Frizzell's own Zakè Drone Recordings. The duo have also released music as Frizzell & Duque, appearing on these pages numerous times in the last few years, including the addition of Ossa, for the album I picked as one of the best of the year. Last year, Jonas Munk, aka Manual, picked up Agape for his Azure Vista Records, and I have subsequently highlighted the album in my Music For Bending Light And Stopping Time for Best of 2022. All of these opening words, with a brief journey through history, are only here to demonstrate how excited I am about their follow-up release on Azure (co-distributed by Frizzell's Past Inside The Present imprint for the US friends and followers). The title track, "Ash", which I am premiering for you today, is a perfect example of the unhurried, unfurling, and unpretentious ambience that blankets the senses when you need these sounds most. "Their focus offers up the steady ebb and flow of sound, cultivating a profound sense of meditative stasis and explorations of high-fidelity sound." This is the type of slow-evolving minimal music that you want to turn all the way up in volume so that each frequency permeates, saturates, and eradicates all the wrinkles and spikes in your jittery mind. Lovely textures on this one, folks, carefully curated by the mastering touch of James Bernard.

"The music the two create together reflects the expansive landscapes of their native Texas and Indiana. Slowly unfolding melodies that seem to rise like the sun from a Texas horizon and drones that resonate like leaves in an endless Indiana woodland. It's a sound that's both beautiful and slightly haunting – a sound that encompasses the listener and demands attention. This is music to get lost in."

OKRAA / La Gran Corriente (ASIPV051) [Previews]

“Soundscapes of Yoga” is a collection of no-mind-music, a companion on the journey towards pure presence. It is created from, by, during and for the path of unity. It is a service and gift towards seekers on the path to self-discovery, a reminder that we are never alone.

The soundscapes are made from Ishtadi’s collection of healing instruments and nature recordings, meant to echo - our nature within.

According to Guru Vashishta, teacher of Lord Rama, there are 7 states to Union:

Subheccha - Ultimate Desire शुभेच्छा
Vichara - Self Inquiry सुविचारणा
Tanumanasi - Mental Subtleness तनुमानसा
Sattvapatti - Pure Equanimity सत्वापत्ति
Asamsakti - Complete Detachment असंसक्ति
Pdartha Bhavani - Non Perception पदार्थभाविनी
Turiya - Final Liberation तुर्यगा

“Consciousness free from the limitations of the mind is known as the inner intelligence: it is the essential nature of no-mind. That is the reality, that is supreme consciousness, that is the state known as the supreme self, that is omniscience.”

Yog Vashishta V. 1:50

Since he was 14 Ishtadi embraced the yoga practice and later extensively travelled India, living with monks, nuns, siddhas, saddhus, yogis, musicians and a variety of therapists and healers. His mission is to transform these ancient experiences of knowledge into contemporary immersive culture.

Ishtadi interweaves sounds of nature to musical landscapes, combining field-recordings with electronic synthesis, organic rhythms and harmonies. Awakening the genetically imprinted being inside, inviting the body and mind to slow down, in order to dive deep - into the now.

Ishtadi is the founder of VibroAcoustics, Nature Tales, Ecstatic Dance Copenhagen, Nordic Ecstatic Dance Association, Cacao CPH and a variety of concert and party concepts.

In sanskrit, “Ishtadi” means purification of the senses - the prerequisite of being absorbed in presence.

“When the doors of perception are cleansed, thou shall see truth” - William Blake

Roots and reggae producer Wrongtom teams up with Hackney’s veteran breakbeat/jungle MCs Ragga Twins on the new single “Follow Fashion”. This latest piece of soundboy revival magic is the second single from their acclaimed album ‘In Time’ (out now). 

“Follow Fashion (Murder He Wrote Remix)” is a dubby club cut revealing Murder He Wrote's first foray into the dancehall scene. Recalling his motivations for jumping in the studio, the rising production star explains: “I’ve been a massive fan since the Duppy Writer album so was super hyped to get to play a small part in any Wrongtom project, let alone one featuring the actual living legends, The Ragga Twins.”
