killer ep in fresh, stripped down, dubbed-out, half-stepping drum & bass mode.

four labyrinthine excursions in psychedelic techno, from antonio marini. take a step back... move to the side, just a touch... there... acid, dub and free jazz, focalising like heat blisters, then healed in a flash. wayward flow, for example, with the ghosts of double bass and bongos swirling in from the margins. entheogenic freak-outs, with the left profile of robert hood, the right profile of vangelis. pressing on 180 gram vinyl.

elegies-in-waiting to the monotonous dread of exploitative labour, dosed with elliptical distortion, industrial noise and ear-crushing bass. in the lineage of pan sonic, sun o))), and the more gruelling scott walker productions. vex d veteran roly porter drops by with a sci-fi reinvention of council flat, trading in if s mogadon footwork and megaton polyrhythms for a less apocalyptic, more introspective blend of modern classical, dark ambient and dirty stinking breakbeat. pressing on 180 gram vinyl.

for more than a thousand days and nights, nico stojan tapped away at what is now before us as ‘twisted manners’ - his debut album telling stories in sound that are both electronic in nature and human in touch. each organic sounding track on the release, including their neighbouring interludes, graze on the moments, people and cultures which have encompassed the albums journey and brought it forward to what it is today. these inspirations have merged from moody mornings in foreign lands (‘blue hour’) to his love affair with the elements of jazz (‘tortured paper’), to the breezy ways of the pacific island people he connects with so much (‘maori girl’). these diverse cultures and the passing musicians who have importantly contributed to the essence of the album have built strong yet invisible strings with a myriad of voices and instruments which weave throughout the music giving us a piece of work that is both textured in flavour and rich in motive. twisted manners is a clean example of this - house music whose soft open spaces and gentle beats sway easily through analog sounds coming from string quartets, saxophonists and double bass players to name a few. these collaborations and stojan’s guiding ear will walk you right into the dreamy spaces and faraway places of his travels without you breaking a sweat. seasoned with moments stolen under the fading light of day, long trips into the beautiful nothingness of his eclectic surroundings and respect for electronic music that is both timeless and sincere, ursl records is delighted to present stojan s debut album, ‘twisted manners’.
