as the title suggests, joakim recorded this new album last year at studio venezia, the installation/sculptural ensemble/recording studio created by xavier veilhan for the prestigious 2017 venice art biennale. built inside the french pavilion & inspired by the grotto-like merzbau by kurt schwitters, studio venezia had dozens of artists create and record there over the 6 months of the biennale (from chassol to brian eno, from joakim to sebastien tellier), invited by xavier veilhan himself with the help of co-curator christian marclay. with an impressive collection of rare instruments from medieval horns to rare modular synths (baschet crystals and percussions, a buchla, a clavinet...), studio venezia was an amazing creative playground for the adventurous musician. those instruments were captured by a team of sound engineers in the best possible way thanks to nigel godrich’s (beck, radiohead...) mobile studio loaded with state of the art vintage recording gear.

in 2018 the dutch band new cool collective celebrates their 25th anniversary, but before this celebration starts, there s another reason for a celebration, in cooperation with dox records, music on vinyl announces the release of the brand new and 19th new cool collective album electric monkey sessions 2 on november 24th.
electric monkey sessions 2 is the highly anticipated follow up to their critically acclaimed 2014 album electric monkey sessions 1 movlp1315.
the eight-piece band have, again, recorded the follow-up to ems 1 in the electric monkey studios in amsterdam. their goal was to obtain a raw and more analogue sound. recordings took place in the purest form, everyone gathered in the studio room at the same time, a couple of microphones, a few takes, straight to tape. the analogue spacedubs by studio owner/engineer kasper frenkel completed the vintage feeling.
the result? electric monkey sessions 2 is a multi-diverse album with a typical stubborn psychedelic cumbia vibe.
limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on transparent blue 180 gram vinyl. comes in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

jamie jones, reboot, jc fousdelamer remixes + original ...
the latest instalment on christian burkhardt s retrospective/future-focussed c&b sessions projects sees him returning to one of the pivotal tracks of his career: doubledub released in 2009 but still slapping with finesse almost ten years later with its low-swung bassline, latent funk and evocative vocal, its elements resonate perfectly with everything going on in house and techno right now. these remixes couldn t have landed at a better time... jamie jones rolls in with a timeless rolling gem that gradually builds into an impeccable late night jack-out laced with surprise acid tendrils. jc fousdelamer brings the feels with a much slower, cosmic trip that lingers softly with spellbinding dubbed-out magic while reboot unearths the techno beast that was always lurking beneath christian s funk. stripped back machine funk at its finest, reboot never disappoints. naturally christian has also provided the original source material for those who want to kick it 2000s-style and for those who weren t old enough to catch it the last time around. join in if you know the chorus, doobie doobie...

south africas escapism refuge returns to londons smokin sessions with the on the fence ep, following his previous effort for the label the highly acclaimed vol. 31. a-side and title track on the fence is an understated and subtle effort, carrying with it an introspective and moody set of harmonies and chord progressions. its a quietly uplifting start to the ep, and the tracks lead melody will remain stuck in your head for days. the b1, almost eight does things differently by incorporating elements of classic ruff sqwad-era grime with an updated and crisp set of modern day production techniques. the ep’s last track, dust, uses a deep and propulsive bass line, which is augmented by escapisms now signature use of fleeting vocal samples. its a powerful ending to a heavyweight and emotionally-charged ep from escapism refuge. escapism refuges previous efforts have gained impressive dj support from across the scene, from figures such as compa (deep medi), synkro, gilles peterson, lefto, joe kay (soulection), don letts, tim parker, n- type, phaeleh and many more.

the 2003 debut album of super talented singer joss stone at the age of 16!!

the brooklyn sessions bring together old and new pinkman friends. annanan returns, this time with maroje t, for three pieces of ny darkness. acid tainted torment opens the 12inch, pain and rejection catalogued in the barren confrontations in terms of sexuality. i saw you maintains that cold edge. militaristic percussion is dipped in industrial grease, lost samples circling in a haze of distortion. the pair explore reduction with tracks being boiled down to leave only distilled dread behind. the breathy vocals of i am close, drum patterns looped into machine groan and the aching abyss.

vesa-matti builds frequency converters during the day and at night he is living life as a dj, producer and sound enthusiast. both the man and his music originate from the sunny city of vaasa on the west coast of finland. recorded in his previous studio, located in an old brick building on miller street, the late night sessions in a building that mostly hosted rock bands resulted in several hours of recorded drum patterns, loops and synth lines creating a fascinating fusion of nordic-flavoured dub aesthetics and twisted sound manipulations.

since 87 a 13 year old jan svensson aka villa abo has been the back bone of swedish electronic experimentalist group frak and behind one of the biggest inspirations for butter sessions, borft records. as always, jan keeps pushing the boundaries on this 4 tracker. kicking it off, just a 309 is a stripped-back rough and ready house track in true 90 s borft style. on mission just pam pom we are blasted with space zaps and bizzaro chords melted together with an irresistible beat and sfx from tomorrow. the weird-o-meter is stepped up a few notches on the b side with the sluggish yet hypnotic burn on separated together . a bonus collaborative effort on pony-flute by jan and another frak member duo j encapsulates us with a dramatic introduction of flute like synths and dark atmospheres taking us into the underworld..

a trio that’s truly killing it: ever refreshing approach to direct, raw, universal techno / house groove science

following a joint live performance in 2016, butter sessions present the latest collaborative effort from albrecht la brooy (analogue attic) & sleep d (butter sessions). this ep sees al & sd blend their respective styles in a stimulating way. from 50 begins the ep with steady 909 grooves and a subtle oscillating acid bass that builds into another dimension. hotham breaks the pace with atmospheric space leads looking down on a mountain of kick drums. banksia is the most psychedelic of the four, planting seeds of heavily resonating synths atop of floating drum rhythms and warm melodies. lastly, sleeping patterns takes it down a few notches into a daydream of flute-like synths and distant nostalgic vocals.
