PNL004 | Inside Hour

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 10-track compilation featuring 8 artists part of our close circle.

We've not done a compilation since Ample back in 2017 - that was probably our first major release. Between then and now the idea of doing a compilation hadn't quite pushed Panel to what we wanted it to be. We'd get these incredible tracks in, and try to weave them into wider more considered projects, but this idea of an interconnected compilation never came together. Other projects - Anamnesis, Settle, Reprezent, etc - took priority. Then, just as the pieces for a compilation came together, COVID happened. And with it, a narrative and purpose for Inside Hour was created.

We know the NHS isn't a charity, nor should it be treated as such. Rather than public fundraising be treated as the norm, it should be able to rely on state responsibility. But this situation is incredibly difficult for many people, and we all have friends and family working the frontlines. As everything continues to unfold, we've been extremely lucky to have this project to escape to, allowing us to help keep ourselves and everyone associated creatively occupied. As such, for creating this space that has given us this privilege of escapism, we will be donating all the proceeds from this release to the NHS (and avoid Virgin Giving).

This compilation hopes to be an outlet, a light and an escapism for all of you through this period, just as it has been for all of us. But we also think it signifies the togetherness we hope everyone's been experiencing in recent months.

Keep safe,
- Panel

Somah - Hidden Track

Flying high amongst the clouds he watched the world spin down below, a million flickering lights and a civilisation unaware of what lay beyond in outer space. He soared and raced his tiny plane as fast as he could, accelerating into the outer reaches of a galaxy far away. He was simply trying to kiss the sky, to embrace the cosmos and meet his maker in a whole new means. Life on earth was long gone...

Bennelux are a duo set to release a new album on Astigmatic Records, an album which pays homage to the glory days of hip hop whilst focussing firmly on the future and development of the footwork sound structure of the present. The pair explain the concept behind the record below:

"We wanted to go back in time and create something completely fresh and unique moving it to the current fast-moving field of juke and footwork descending from Chicago. Most of our songs started from samples that were previously being used in some of the classic hip-hop tunes that shaped our musical taste."

Farsight - Not Here, But Somewhere is OUT on Maloca
Preorder (Vinyl/digital) : maloca.bandcamp.com/album/not-here-but-somewhere

“There’s a space for each artist...
Kandinsky said it very good — Not here, not there, but somewhere.” -Willem De Kooning

For Farsight, California’s bucolic San Geronimo Valley was the space that allowed for the creation of this handpicked selection of artistic output. Following a period of deep interest in abstract painting and its relationship to music, the artist found this lush and sparsely populated region to be an ideal location for contemplation and composition. Although the majority of the work was executed in the first two months of 2020 in this forested setting, some of the pieces were based upon drafts created as early as Summer 2017.

United in their eclecticism, the six cuts that comprise “Not Here, But Somewhere'' reveal a broad spectrum of musical influences. They are statements in an age in which influence is omni-directional, and in which the pace of artistic invention outstrips the ability of observers to identify and reify sub-genres. Although each track presents a unique approach, “Cadena,” “Sans Titre,” and “Door to the River'' reflect the continuing global suffusion of Latin American and Carribean styles such as reggaeton and dancehall.

Simultaneously, the duo of “While” and “Hot Half” suggest the ongoing dialogue of techno, electro, and industrial music and the interstices between them. “Mid-Winter Burning Sun” invokes the intensity of American trap music with its booming bass while touching equally upon the feel of early dubstep.
Ultimately, the idea that there is a “space for each artist” can be taken both in a literal sense— One’s physical environment— And also in the figurative sense that there is room enough for the ideas of all artists, who are kindred spirits in the endeavor of radical self-expression. In this way, “Not Here, But Somewhere” exists as an acknowledgement and gesture of goodwill towards every artist daring enough to explore the unknown.
