black truffle is honored to present a new issue of annea lockwoodÆs classic 1970 tape piece tiger balm, unavailable on vinyl for over thirty years, accompanied by two exquisite unreleased works for percussion and voice. created while lockwood was living in the uk, the side-long tiger balm is a singular work within the cannon of tape music. inspired by research into the ritual function of music, the piece explores the possibility of evoking ancient communal memories through sound. breaking entirely with the dynamic language of the musique concrÞte tradition, lockwood uses a select palette of mainly unprocessed sonic elements chosen for their mysterious and erotic characteristics (a purring cat, a heartbeat, gongs, slowed down jaw harp, a tiger, a womanÆs breath, a plane passing overhead), presenting at most two sounds at once. as one sound flows organically into the next, their shared characteristics are highlighted, opening a space of dream logic and mysterious associations between nature and culture, the ancient and the modern. the b-side presents two pieces for percussion recorded here for the first time. amazonia dreaming (1987), performed by dominic donato, uses unaccompanied snare drum and voice to evoke the nocturnal soundscape of the amazon rainforest. unorthodox techniques and materials (marbles, chopsticks, a plastic jar lid) transform the snare into a resonant field of sensual textures.

a new entry to the catalog this time with the pumping beatz of our nipponese yusuke yamamoto for the front side, proper bodyrocking compositions for the harder hours of club night dancing suit best for -no signal- and the vocal anthem driven -need you now-. on the other side we found nicolas diez timeless -amazonia-, a soulful dance track encouraged with romantic vocals that soothe our inner being. last but not least martin bellomo and diez collaboration takes form in the minimalistic deep tune called -algorhythm-

outro tempo ii: electronic and contemporary music from brazil, 1984-1996 is the second installment of music from memorys brazilian series. this volume picks up where the first outro tempo left off, shedding light on a new wave of experimentalism that emerged in brazil in the late 1980s and 1990s. the twenty tracks collected uncover another area of brazilian music that looked to the future for inspiration. this time it drifts beyond the rainforest and into the pulsating heart of brazil�s great cities, where it meets a generation of young artists eager to radically change the face of contemporary brazilian music. in outro tempo ii the avant garde and pop worlds meld in a haze of percussion and electronics. it presents another uncompromising and magnetic reinterpretation of the limits of brazilian music. outro tempo ii is compiled again by john gómez and features original artwork by alice quaresma.

on the magic movements latest trick, xique-xique from sao paulo paints a psychedelic panorama of the mysterious world of amazonia, full of waterfalls, bellicose woman, and an endless flora & fauna. by combining brazilian rhythms with elements of techno, dubby house and plenty of bird sounds they create a unique bunch of vivid slow jams to get lost in. being already a classic in the infamous circles, xaxoeira is finally available on vinyl ! this vibey masterpiece is the straightest of the bunch, a proper slow-mo house tune, with a dark flute sample and a broken organ that grinds its way into the deepest corners of your brain. nicola cruz (multi culti, zzk rec.) delivers a superb remix of xaxoeira which adds rolling percussions and delay madness to the original material.

from his days organising free parties in and around northwest france during the early 2000s, oniris has risen the classical way: years of djing have given him an innate understanding of dancefloor dynamics and a firm crew and label to create with: astropolis. since breaking through in 2011, his tracks have rapidly picked up support from all the right corners: agoria, laurent garnier, john digweed, marc romboy and josh wink have all lent their support. having already released some of his finest work on bedrock and systematic, its now ovum�s turn to play host to oniris� latestwork, the nightwalk ep. eschewing his penchant for the peak time, oniris steers away from the euphoric�s of previous outings and, whilst retaining his melodic moves, creates a selection of deep, warm and groovy cuts with a spiky electric edge. head-nodders, shoulder-droppers & hip-swingers rejoice, these slinky dancefloor numbers are for you. support coming from: pete tong, hernan cattaneo, guy j, lane 8, matthias mayer, christian smith, till von sein, luca bacchetti, marc romboy and more!
