classic crossover

one of the most evasive titles of the prescription/balance catalog, chez damier & stacey pullens >forever monna< evinces the futurism of the most forward leaning deep house music, purging itself of any relics of disco sentimentality in the sacred quest of that prophecy of infinite, intangible beauty hidden within the patchwork of electronic production. originally released in apparently minuscule numbers on serious grooves in 1993, this remarkable instrumental track was re-released two years later on ballance, a fine example of these two detroit pioneers tireless effort to claim a piece of that brave new world from the unyielding clutches of techno. slinky synth loops. eerie chord frames and a brilliantly simple low-end punctuation coalesce in the uncertain, unidentifiable prospect of soul music stripped of any links to the past or present, an inexplicably funky rendition of a deep house slow mounting contagion, infecting fatally the recollections of parliament / funkadelic bass-licks and warm organ progressions with a bleak, somehow comforting landscape of fresh alien-esque soul

repress - the tone always makes the music. but only those who actually make the sound? an ancient-house-avantgarde dream has always been there since the legendary warehouse days of ron hardy, to bring more sounds and tones constantly to an independent, repetitive development. and thus beyond the limits of an executive creative artist on the otherwise purely commercial sense what we call in common beyond imagination. raw footage, the latest album concoction of chicago house legend ron trent (prescription) on his new imprint electric blue works in the best sense of stanislav lem heroes trurl & klapauciusals, cruising like those two metal brains frantically invented by the universe of 4/4-sounds to get insane tracks out of the new material matter located there, and put them together to brand new ones. this trackwerk varies as well as of course between classical chi-town to the context of contemporary, epic house dubs and lives in a perfidious manner from the interaction of various computer modules that constantly spits out new and exciting interactions. in the end, the software sings only as digital output of great analog sounds, which may well be understood as a mocking voice to the majority of contemporary homeboy wackiness format

the yé-yé is a musical current that emerged in the early 1960s. the songs were mainly french adaptations from anglo-saxon successes, then very popular with the baby boomer youth born after world war ii. including françoise hardy, sylvie vartan, johnny hallyday...

a planned reissue for many years, the untimely passing of steve coe shortly after the label s rerelease of the ganges orchestra s the dream put everything on hold. however, time moves and so now seems a fitting time to revisit this -world dance- classic with fonder hearts. long cherished, it is a reminder of steve s enduring studio mastery. after the initial success of his work with sheila chandra in monsoon, steve expanded his musical scope, working on an indipop compilation as clubs looked to eastern flavours to add a new dimension for the dancefloor. teaming up with tabla disciple turned teacher, jhalib (millar), as well as long time collaborator martin smith, it s hard to imagine mysteries was first heard in 1982. hailed as an all time classic, it s enduring appeal can be seen in how it became a staple for the likes of danielle baldelli at the infamous cosmic club and beyond to become an original evissa -balearic- secret play for weatherall & co in those fateful summers of love and beyond. remastered especially for this release, the orchestral eastern melody and mid-tempo chugging rhythms and vocals marry in perfection with a dub bassline of wobble inspired depth. this alone would be enough, however, the original is at last backed with the 1988 remix. aimed at the then burgening new beat scene, a subtle straightening kick is added, but it s the unmistakable vocals of sheila chandra that finally brings this release together in melodic harmony. peace be with you steve. i am x

repress - clara and armand made their first tracks for the retirement of the librarian from their art school in paris. beginning the collaboration which brought them to post a few tracks on soundcloud and a first single «prettiest virgin» in april. the silky and roaring voice of clara mixes perfectly with armand’s drum machine and those 90’s keyboards. hammering with acid bass, the tandem brings us to an «early warp» sound between daniel maloso, black devil disco and ariel pink. «cardan» ep is a journey into a fantasy of america, but also into a world of synthesis where nothing is clear, all our orientations are scrambled. nobody has control. the virgin forget herself, the princess is drowning but the parrot knows everything.
