A condensed sound imprint from a trip to India, featuring raw and remixed field recordings from the Western Ghats, Mapusa, and Mumbai by Italian sound explorer and designer Francesco Fonassi. The result is a patient, poetic, slow radio vibe, like something akin to a homemade mantra machine, where Hindu prayers, chants, and bird songs mingle with electric forests, nocturnal reverb chambers, and buzzing loop-poetry. This is a remixed version originally produced for Radio Arte Mobile’s weekly sound selections curated by Lou Pappagallo and Svet Lana.

Surprise, adventure, entertainment and education: Four key words often used for describing Dutch DJ and producer Marcelle/Another Nice Mess. Using live (and in the studio) three turntables, Marcelle takes her mix talents to high heights. She is as much, or even more of, a musician as she is a dj.

Titled ‘We Grow, You Decline’ the eleven new pieces dare you to readjust your perception of @Kobosil's previous releases and invite you to listen carefully – in a more quiet environment than the usual dancefloor setting. ‘We Grow, You Decline’ marks a swerve from club-contextual tracks towards a more musical, multilayered song format, but it's worth mentioning that the album is not a reinvention of Kobosil's past production efforts. There have always been distinct hints of his fondness for more abstract, non-dancefloor rhythms, discomforting sounds and mindful listening in his young discography.

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."

"... developed sound technology, chanting, drumming and so on, designed to induce a expanded state of consciousness. Not for entertain people as conventional art, but looking for what works. 
...so empirically developed drumming and rhythms that can expand and control, synchronize and de synchronize the frequencies in the nervous system."
