wildflower is a project by idris rahman

with the quality of the original-tracks ep we had to provide the best remix(es) ep we could. that s why we chose to work with incredible artists such as nebraska , black loops , the almighty jay haze & fellow-lithuanian producer bal5000.

wewillalwaysbealovesong is proud to welcome one of the most prolific producer of the moment in the person of ponty mython . after amazing releases on label such as dirt crew recordings & quintessentials it is with a lot of pride that we are releasing this brillant 4-tracks ep .

mike lundy was born and raised in nu‘unau, on the island of oahu in hawaii. from an early age, lundy s original compositions caught the coveted attention of herb ono, the legendary owner of honolulu s sounds of hawaii recording studio. in 1980, lundy recorded a solo lp entitled the rhythm of life. unfortunately, he spent so much money on production that nothing was left for promotion. it went nowhere upon release.

let’s go swimming return with a 3 track ep from one of their very own, william earl.
a1 “young in the tropic” sets the mood deep in the jungle. a thick layer of tribal drums forms the base of this track, with birds of paradise echoing above - mysterious chirps emanate from the deep. at the midway point euphoric stabs emerge to round it off in a heady, reverberant breakdown, sure to get you going on the dance floor.

introducing rydim to the platte family with two intelligently crafted and versatile cuts. including remixes by cristopher rau and kareem.

to celebrate record store day 2016, claremont 56 is proud to present something rather special – a killer single-sided release whose origins are shrouded in mystery. “tropic of capricorn” arrived at c56 hq with little or no information. while its’ humid sound effects and glistening, unfurling melodies evoke hazy memories of mediterranean sunsets and adriatic sunrises, the track’s creators live east of ukraine, in the colder surrounds of the russia. regardless of who made it, you’ll struggle to find a single that’s quite as warm, tactile and seductively groovy. built around a hypnotic, slo-mo groove, “tropic of capricorn” soothes and sedates from start to finish. its’ ingredients are relatively sparse – think gently undulating beats, toasty chords and an electric harp that gently ebb and flow like the waters of a mountain stream – but the results are nothing less than stunning.

two tracks from a brand new (second in a row) ep by warsaw-based duo tumult hands fully illustrate paradoxical approach of jacek sienkiewicz and jurek przeŸdziecki to the creation of a common integrated form. spontaneous compositional decisions and minute sound interventions are contrasted here with a persistent precision of rhythms generated by both musicians in a reality of an inter-studio space, in moments of an encounter, sometimes, fully controlled collision, of two worlds. full of inner rigour and logic (record is a prime example of modern functionalist music), although teeming with fantasy and flourish, tumult hands current explorations also announce duos full-length lp, soon to be released through recognition records.

djebali & tuccillo join their forces on 2 original tracks made last summer on the island

restless idylls is the first full length album from tropic of cancer, the solo project of los angeles-based camella lobo.
comes as double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

downwards sidestep expectations again with this glorious limited 10inch vinyl release from tropic of cancer. two beautifully dark compositions that remind slightly of angelo badalamenti in >twin peaks< mode, or maybe reservoir dogs, if it had been filmed with a huge cavern as the soundstage. processed guitar and drones wash swampily over a simple drumbox beat, as eerie snatches of melody float in and out. as badalamenti himself said of his own work, >my (musical) world is a little bit dark... a little bit off-center. i think of it as tragically beautiful. that is how i would describe what i love best: tragically beautiful.< seems to sum this release up quite nicely too...

black repress !!! 2nd release by tropic of cancer aka camella lobo and john mendez (aka silent servant, sandwell district) for downwards brings more industrial drones and distorted voices. comes with a remix by richard h. kirk. pressed on clear/translucent 10 inch vinyl in stampnumbered cardboard sleeve. better be quick - the do2 from 2009 sold out in no time!

blackest ever black returns for 2011 with a new ep of crushing, sensuous darkwave pop from tropic of cancer follow up to the two much-loved 10inchs on downwards, >the dull age< and >be brave< tropic of cancer is the la-based duo of camella lobo and juan mendez. mendez is best known as silent servant, venerable techno producer, former cytrax boss and core member of the sandwell district collective. with lobo he makes raw, visceral music in the loose tradition of minimal synth, post-punk, industrial and goth, produced with authority and a supremely evolved grasp of spatial arrangement.

igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
