after a string of fresh remixes, including a great one for the homewreckers here on circus, dave aju offers this two-track side project treat while we await his next album. picking up where he and the invisible art trio left off, and adding another member, we are proud to present thèse unique cuts by mr. aju and his new sol percussion ensemble.using a single percussion instrument for each track, aju and the ensemble bring a raw acoustic and upbeat live jam session vibe to the proceedings on “vibra” the scene shifts to day, as an unabashedly sunny feeling builds up into a sort of loose latin jazz/house interpretation of bob james’ “spunky, filled with refreshingly fun instrumentation and vocal accompaniments- it’s that vibe! . “flexa” starts off with a strong rhythm base, then takes off into the night as warm bass tones and vocal scat chants alternate over the course of this future-meets-primitive hypnotic groover. both tracks reintroduce some playful sonic alternatives to today’s more discerning dance floors, and with the diverse background of aju and his fellow sf bay area ensemble members, there’s plenty of soul and sol, just in time for summer.

the act of escaping that which is predestined. / a hustle. reto a ichi is a sonic tabula rasa for guillermo herren aka prefuse 73. there are identifiable elements of the artist you already know - an uncanny sense for rhythm, an ability to shape samples and frequenci- es like clay, an affinity for the subtle changes of repetition - yet this is first and foremost music born from the need for silence. there is no easy entrance point or index for the listener.

this rare record repress opens with the lysergic - cosmic disco prototype - anthem chi sei?, leaded by the vocals of pietro carrus and by franco montalbano’s hendrix-influenced riffs on a typical disco drum beat.

boogie café enlist the expertise of goshawk & erik rico to provide the goodness for the next instalment in their boogie café black series. the home e.p. houses four versions of the title track with side a serving up a piano vibe mix, alongside a dub mix for good measure. the vibe mix layers a bassy, bumping piano line & erik s rnb flavoured vocals behind a shuffling beat before a soulful flute line takes centre stage. on a slightly different tip the dub mix drops the flute in favour of echoed out stabs for a sparser and tougher aesthetic, readymade for the dancefloor. flip it over and the percussion vibe mix adds in some choice congas and bongos, combined with sustained organ-style synths and jazzy piano chords, creating a more summertime soul style to the track. the fourth and final dub mix sees goshawk use erik s vocals in short but sweet snippets, adding extra atmosphere to the track but allowing the piano and percussion to lead the way.

never released before on lp, here comes the complete original soundtracks of french cult film composer françois de roubaix for director yves boisset. two movies that embody the two sides of francois de roubaix’s approach to recording. for le saut de l’ange (1971), the self-taught composer wrote an orchestration for some fifty musicians playing strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion with two distinct solo instruments alternating the main theme: indian sitar on the one hand and accordion on the other. r.a.s (1973) was recorded on a 8-track tape recorder, in françois de roubaix’s home studio rue de courcelle, where most of his 70’s scores were recorded. the result is a mix of military-march rhythms, rolls on the snare-drum with sounds of synthi aks syntheziser: de roubaix invented a modern sound for this contemporary-history tragedy.
