@juicy_chewlie — Transforming Matter

I'm running back to me feeling homesick
soon I might recall the savory flavor
of what will ease me until I'm mellow
I move so the floor beneath me transforms into a flow
does it really matter if I'm loved beloved unloved
if I submerged deep in dirt and died slow
-li al

We breathe in oxygen, transform it into carbon dioxide and breathe out. One simple witness of transforming matter. With this album I became aware of this inevitable movement and my deeply rooted need to live that. So I could not restrict myself any longer not to surrender to it, to the creative flow.
Very new and important to me was to collaborate with such immensely talented artists. It has elevated and transformed my production skills & process. I feel very honored to connect, learn and transform matter - together.
-Chewlie

'Glory Days' by
@alanjohnsonmusic
Is out now: https://airjohnson.bandcamp.com/album/glory-days

"The ‘Glory Days’ EP marks a new chapter in the Alan Johnson output. Following sporadic releases throughout the last decade owing to a separation across different continents for both of us, we take a step forward from last year's Stillness EP - with an EP that constitutes our first release of entirely new music, since our first record back in 2013.

We have a propensity to work and sit on music for long periods of time which has previously produced complex and challenging outcomes but the last 2 years has seen a growth in our abilities to focus on refinement in our creation process, and an attempt to tell a story through more simplistic means.

The record was assembled with a vision and purpose over the last 18 months for the YUKU label specifically. It represents a shift in our existing sound, consistent through our past outputs which can be identified on some of the tracks across the record, and delivers us to a place which is influenced by a wider variety of experimentation, centred around more danceable outcomes and an air of glossy playfulness. The EP is split into two easily identifiable moods, representing a nod to a sometimes chaotic and pastiched past and a suggestive view of where the future may lie.

It's been an honour to work on an EP for the infinitely attentive and carefully crafted series of records curated by Jef and Ilda at YUKU, along with our friends at dsplaced who helped create the visual aspects of the release with us. This record is for everyone."

Alan Johnson - Many Faces Of Tutu

Get it here: https://yukumusic.bandcamp.com/album/old-haunts

"When conceptual art really kicked off in the mid twentieth century, many of its protagonists were so determined to purge art of its decorative frilliness, they turned more and more towards words, or rather, lack thereof. The likes of Duchamp, Dalí, Breton, Reinhardt, each uncensored by the rational mind, made moves towards the absurd and the sublime, with varying degrees of success and failure alike.

In this piece, what one finds is the artist attempting to convey a number of things, and asking a number of questions of us as the listener; what do we seek in such art? In which ways are to be intellectually, spiritually and sexually fulfilled by its visceral and confrontational abandonment of conventions? Is it incongruous juxtaposition? Does it lead us as the audience to question ourselves as living breathing beings, our hopes and truths, and our benign tastes so often dictating our choice and free will?

The piece is a natural extension of surrealism, dadaism and indulgence, themselves often strange bedfellows. Elaborate and provocative in its execution, displaying a signature of insatiable curiosity, and leaving no stone unturned, it portrays the artist as a provocateur of postmodernism, mysticism, and decadence. It transgresses the elusive world of the subconscious more imaginatively than previous offerings. It's also a piece which stitches together the scraps of art and culture, politics and poetry, and science and exotica that could often be found in the Southport of the late-noughties and beyond. An extremely clever conceit; there could be any manner of things concealed within this record, but we as the listener will never know because as as soon as one opens the record, the art is destroyed, the value is lost, so we will never, ever find out.

One's most overriding sensation is that the piece feels like a shit-filled hand grenade which the artist has flung into our collective psyche. It is quite simply, a joke, and a very poor joke."

"I'm terrible when it comes to writing anything about the music I make, but I hope you enjoy the tunes as much as I enjoyed making them. Thanks to my dog Berry for reminding me to get out of the studio and take him for long walks and to my partner for supporting me by making gun fingers every time she entered the room"

Hi all! Bringing something out from the vault again that still feels timely. Dogma sources an instantly-recognizable Michael Jackson sample & gives it a no-war, fuck-the-government treatment. Blinding helicopter break choppage and rapid drum rolls confined between the subs and rumbles.

Hope you enjoy!

As Dim Fumes, bass duo Thrived and score composer No Bloom Now come together to create an exquisite blend of club sound and pop-influenced storytelling.
With numerous releases on Voitax, Club Qu and others, Thrived have proven their ability to produce fresh yet seasoned tunes, making them an integral part of Berlin's underground scene for years. No Bloom Now's work as a composer for film, theatre and games over the past few years has given him experience in writing strong themes and emotionally complex melodies.

As a band, Dim Fumes bring together the vocal points of both projects to create danceable, melancholic melodies full of euphoria. No Bloom Now's intimate vocals take centre stage,
Thrived's dense drum aesthetic builds the fundament in which the three create a melange best described as ambient bass-pop.

Their very first single, Bright Spots, can be seen as a North Star for the sonic direction the three are heading. The gnarled yet clear drum work and angelic lead vocal feel like they are embedded in a sea of lush, warm pads and atmospheres, pulling you into deep excitement. The grip and pull of this poppy but underground track won't let you go until the very end, leaving you wanting to dive right back in. With bright spots, the trio prove their ability to grab attention in private, club and/or festival contexts, presenting a combination we'll hopefully see out and about soon. Keep an eye out: Dim Fumes!

TRAKA ft. Blocklab - Cold Out [Premiere]

Get it here: https://yukumusic.bandcamp.com/album/concerta
Follow Sam: Link @sambot

"The tracks in Concerta began to take form immediately following my first work with YUKU. I wanted to continue a similar dance-forward broken beat style while integrating sounds and textures that have inspired me over the past couple years. The music follows personal themes of concentration, creativity as a sanctuary from the harsh realities of the world, and the ebb and flow of inspiration. I am thrilled by Tom Tebby’s artwork for this release; it fits perfectly, offering a radiant response to Hesitate."

From 'TRACES': https://yukumusic.bandcamp.com/album/traces
By @coido

"The inspirations for this ep came from different moments I lived (or experienced?) during the past 6 months:
From a few but very interesting club nights out in Berlin, to my discovery of the post-dubstep movement that basically paved the way to modern genres that I'm producing now, till the tens of hours of Rinse FM (or "radio mixes" idk which better) mixes I listened to at my new workplace where I was spending most of the day alone in the gloomy winter of the city.

I usually like to put a little playful touch to my tunes, but this time I felt like I had to focus more on a darker progressive-techno sound. Maybe because my sound matured, or maybe its just a phase. I don't know, but I'll keep on following the traces that brought me here."
