limited repress due to high demand on requests. on its second release, the fresh label eating records, native of brussels, embarks us on its most unlikely underground journey yet .the new project includes two beautiful tracks from the deep flows of house music, from the unfamous talented producer from kiev, io (mulen). there s no point in trying to place io or his music in some larger social picture. no need to talk about his intensive production. his successful releases can be found on imprints such as rejected (joris voorn), propaganda (nastia), elarum and his own mulen records which he started in 2012 and that released his stunning debut album within 2013. on flutes/creeps ep, he thrives on fantastic impossibilities including flutes and deep melodic basses. it is obvious that mister io had a wonderful time making the two tracks. flutes comes up as victorious and gallant. it is an energizing shock full of curious noises, mesmerizing musical surprises, a real dancefloor track. creeps is discreet and dark, and remains beautifully deep. this track finds io wrenching as much sweetness out of it as he possibly can, in return giving us our first indication that he is in a generous spirit. when this ep comes to an end, it feels like getting back from a good vacation: the last thing you want to do is re-enter the real world.

recorded in haiku-pauwela, maui between 3rd febraury and 14th february 2016 anthony child aka surgeon presents the second volume of recordings of buchla music easel recorded in the jungle of maui. again we find child s in a more ambient guise and setting as the calm breath of the jungle sets a real time back-drop for his electronic explorations. there is no additional layering and all environmental sounds simply occurred throughout the improvisations. the range on display veers from melodic drones to sparkling arpeggios all revolving around a thick bed of (buchla) electronic and (environmental) acoustic interplay. nine personality type map hovers on a bed of syncopated rhythms whilst the nearby sonic mist of the forest seeths in and out of the frame whilst nightfall of diamonds provides a sonic analogy for the darkness and light contradiction that occurs only in such rich natural environments. the simultaneous acts of improvising, listening and creating provide a rich setting for the curious listener. another gem in a catalogue filled with gold.

>i take my guitar and strum and sing some tings and blow peoples mind. but i aint trying to do anybodys music. im doing what i feel< - shadow when it came out in 1984 the far-out album sweet sweet dreams by trinidad & tobagos shadow (aka winston bailey) was described as way ahead of its time. undeservedly it was panned by critics and, unable to reach markets, disappeared into the dusty record collections of a few music aficionados. now, more than three decades later that cosmic dance-floor ufo is about to take off again, change all that and set the record straight. remastered and cut by frank meritt at the carvery the album is truly a masterpiece.

rare brazil album made available again through mr bongo, incl. voce abuso & kabaluere. nice! a truly fantastic record that sounds the way it looks – psychedelic rock, samba-funk and tripped out mpb. features kabaluere as sampled by marcelo d2 on his hit qual e. arranged by rogerio duprat, featuring legendary guitarist lanny gordin. antonio carlos & jocafi were a very successful and famous brazilian writing duo, born in bahia. they worked with the likes of wilson simonal, rosinha de valença, trio mocotó, milton banana, toquinho and more. originally released on rca brazil in 1971, this was the duos debut lp. two versions of the album cover exist in brazil – this, the psyched-out, burnt out version, and a much less exciting photograph of the chaps, pressed to include the single desacato which became a popular hit in brazil and several european countries.

nice price deal !!! ryota o.p.p aka ryota arai delivers his debut album pale lux for meda fury. ryota is based in tokyo at the nexus of the japanese house / future disco scene, alongside cohorts such as cos/mes, inoue shirabe, and kza he blends eastern mysticism, jazz spirituality, and cosmic disco with classic 4:4 rhythms. a highly respected dj, promoter and producer the opaque discoid-stomp of his future life ep marked him out as an original oddity but a vital new voice in the now global electronic music community, but with pale lux hes enlarged the scope of his musical canvas to incorporate new fresh textures and atmospheres. as meda fury head honcho nick williams explains: future life was built from some quite dark, abstract demos, some of which ended up being a bit overproduced for his self made debut cd only album. the pale lux lp is a ryotas fully realised eclectic vision, with a mood that is more optimistic and playful - much more reflective of his personality.pale lux indeed has a real narrative flow - dance floor tracks such as the chunky balearic vibes of wood, and banging future techno of bird flying over the rainbow nestle alongside home listening ambience witness the backroom/chill-out vibes of origin, the cute hip hop bounce of soft touch or the delicate trinket box chimes of outro drops. oscillating between light and shade, slow and fast, the influence of japan s history and native instrumentation runs right through the record, his fascination with balearic, disco, deep-house, hip hop, ambient and blunted beats parcelled into a glorious, sweetly considered listening experience.

on local talk s 74th release it s about time to get real...and we re not only talking about the music! this a heavy and political record that through music expresses the constant struggle for many african americans living in the us today. or like jamie 3:26 said after he first heard sameed s initial version - it instantly hit me with the raw pain and emotion of the lyrics. there is so much struggle in the world today, many black men and women are in emotional, mental and spiritual battles. the message is delivered over two tracks, testify and can t u . both tracks are using the same themes and samples but with a distinct difference on the end result. on the a side we find chicago legend jamie 3:26 teaming up with amsterdam s new shining star masalo (brighter days crew) for a gospel inspired disco / house jam that comes with a slight warehouse feel and a thumping bassline that is 100% on point on the flip sameed is back on local talk with can t u . a track that uses the same foundation as testify but instead goes straight for that dirty disco knock out punch...heavy stuff! as an extra bonus we also included dusty jazz , a fender rhodes driven jazz-house cut from sameed that sounds like it comes straight from a dark juke joint in manchester.

wareika steps up for the amphias 12th vinyl chapter. the german trio walks off the beaten techno trail, applying just enough pressure on the bassline pedal to envelope your attention on the sinusoidal theme from break new sol, revealing at the end a rewarding guitar solo, hidden all this time under the crisp percussions. on a train again completes side a, with its industrial ambient modulations steadily stabbed by the derailed cadence.
sit reinterprets wareika on side b: a more dancefloor oriented take, with just a few breaks from the devilish rhythm, enough to give the crowd some time to breathe into the tracks odd atmosphere. wareika s playful harmony makes a great addition to amphias musical path.

the kurl project started in the summer of 2014 where the primary concept was to sonically encompass the various influences of a twenty-year musical journey. the essence of kurls sound is mainly deep dub with hints of house groove that create a very unique sound environment connecting the listener to his lifestyle and movement. at the root of “sacred fire” is a very special love story. kurl started an emotional partnership, a genuine brotherhood with mj white, one of the pioneers of the soulful house music sound of the new york ’90s. marshall james white appeared on many hits in the nyc club scene including scandalous still irresistible just to name one. he tragically passed away in november 2015. mj white gives soul to sacred fire by writing the lyrics and interpreting it with so much passion that kurl was able to transform this track into an eternal love song. for kurl, mj white will remain the angel with a heavenly voice, and above all, a memory that will mark his internal and musical journey for the rest of his days in the words of mj white music has a huge heart that beats inside all of us.

over to the flip we start off with the title track, ‘lunar waves’ beginning with a tougher feel it hints at a hardware acid workout... but half way in roberto hits you with those dreamy pads again and just has us in his hands for that synth solo at the end! rounding off the ep perfectly is ‘when u come around’, a real ‘end of summer sitting down at the park with your mates’ kind of track...mmm...

equinox i hits it right in the centre, with vibes perfect for either sunset or sunrise. the hypnotic sequence will cut through your brain and makes sure you don’t even know if it’s night or day. equinox ii represents the night. again an incredible solid sequence, but with a raw edge assisted by a haunting soundscape doing justice to the dark. no one is safe for this killer. when day time arrives you will be introduced to equinox iii. this seems to be the most friendly track, but don’t let it fool you. a smart percussive rhythm does the magic and creates the hypnotic experience you can expect from p.e.a.r.l.

the colors are stunning. in a single view, i see looking out at the edge of the earth, all the colors of the prism. red at the horizon, blends to orange and yellow, followed by a thin white line, then light blue, gradually turning to dark blue, then black as the vastness of space engulfs the surroundings. as i looked upon our home rock, i saw many natural features. i witnessed a large river meandering slowly along for miles, passing from one country to another without stopping or hesitation. i also saw huge forests, extending along & across several borders as if these divides didnt exist. i watched the extent of one ocean touch the shores of separate continents, then suddenly, a profound thought came over me as i looked down on all this. the birds dont fly this high

vinyl only - round 2 for neukolln based boutique imprint xk after hauke freer s phenomenal first volume left heads baffled all over the place. this time, the label hands the a side to retro spook maniac matthias reiling, who opens with hand of hope, a tune that fuses an attitude-heavy, upright bass / piano theme with a cold hearted drum workout. strongly physical, sensitive, yet somewhat arrogant as we feel here. reiling twangs up his stratocaster on melodioso and explores the possibilities of sequencer based surf rock. you know, like a computer trying to be a backing band or the other way around. we can t help but imagine chris isaak singing under the shower to this one. the b side is freer territory once again, and hauke takes us deep into his realm of hypnotic, druggy dub-disco sculpting. reach out sucks you in, leaves you utterly disoriented and makes your mind paint a picture you would not have painted elsewhere. when you try to tell your friends, you can t find any words, yet it feels right and you all smile at each other.
