jazz cabbage ist back with jazzy and deep house

instrumental music is supposed to be asemantic and yet a rich language of rhetorical gestures has grown up around it. none of them may have a specific meaning but they easily lead the listener towards an emotion, a sensation, an embryonic story. does any of this mean that music is abstract? or does it, to the contrary, mean that music tells a story? there is no abstraction without a story. is there a story without an abstraction? the composition on this album, is it a radio play? tropa macaca = andré abel and joana da conceição check out their earlier albums, they’re just as great.

these songs were not born in the club, nor were they written by producers’ algorithms. so where did these hits come from? maybe from poolside changing rooms (aldona or&#322,,owska is the polish champion in butterfly style swimming)? or maybe from opera singing lessons with professor olga olgina, the melodist born at the beginning of the 20th century in tsarist russia? she feels as good in performing on yachts as in beautiful churches. aldona marries the virtues of an opera singer and a disco star. she creates together with her husband, an outstanding instrumentalist and unconventional producer. they don’t care about trends, they go where the music is. for a quarter of a century they’ve been splitting their lives between malmö and mallorca, swedish piano houses and beaches. aldona or&#322,,owska.

hey, do you remember how much dance music owes to experiment and coincidence????? quirky 7 release from lutto lento is kind of danceable but also raw and harsh, maybe hypnotic? first track sounds like a dark twisted fantasy about carnival in some cheap tropical spa. the other one will reach your guts and throw them upside down. hell yeah.

andrzej nowak is a polish early computer music composer who never found proper place in official contemporary music world. tracks produced between 1987 and 1994 as a score for never screened animation movies (the producer didn’t like them). lines of simple sounds, interrupted by primitive electronic trumpet and other fake instruments. are you sure it’s a film score? what was the thing that producer didn’t like? weird harmonies or too much rhythm?

who plays guitar during a drummachine jam? what for? gay funk straight from warsaw, deviant jandek house. first heroinys lp (piotr kureks fresh project) on a new label run by lutto lento and filip lech. well, dunno.

mega hypnotic groover!

back in !

the mighty lutto lento returns with an lp proper for where to now? big.
where to now? cordially invite you into lutto lento’s ‘dark secret world’. after a string of releases on labels such as ftd, proto sites, dunno recordings and ourselves, we now find polish artist lubomir grzelak ready to present a fully realised, full-length distillation of his distinctly exuberant and unique electronic narratives.

2015 saw datassette in generous form, the original offal brought 100 tracks of alleged offcuts. while a rare few actually live up to this self-deprecation, it couldnt be a more misleading title. now, selected offal has been boiled down to a gravy-like substance for a vinyl release by the nice folks at shipwrec. after discussions with the artist, and suggestions from fans, seventeen prime cuts have been selected for the vinyl edition of offal, alongside a few brand new previously unheard nuggets and alternative versions. expect a buffet of delights. smooth electronica, abrasive funk, out-there acid experimentation, chip tune chicanery and everything in between from this chameleon of machine music.

repress 2016 , the new artist ep of map.ache goes by the name leave and keep. luckily he is not going to leave the label, but turns in three new tracks, where he is stressing the fine line between dancefloor and good listening. his indescision remains our pleasure

more abstract, forward thinking house music courtesy of transatlantyk. mondo hehe is the fifth ep in a growing catalogue of the label and is one of its most adventurous offerings yet. lutto lento (real name lubomir grzelak) is an experimental musician from warsaw, poland, who specialises in dark, spooky, uneasy music that s hard to categorise. apart from running two experimental cassette only labels (sangoplasmo and dunno recordings), lutto lento records music for contemporary theatre and forward thinking european labels like ftd and where to now? he is equally inspired by avant-garde and surreal sounds from the bygone eras as well as raw house and techno music of today. his music tends to absorb the listener into a parallel, imaginary world, where sounds of a lamenting cry of a trumpet (b2) and a voice counting numbers on top of the rolling exotica style bongos (a2) are as important as jacking chicago house drums (b1) and energetic basslines (a3). from the jumping beats of the title track, to the late night deep roller casino , the * mondo hehe ep* is a superb collection of non-generic house music that sounds as good at a club, as it does at home.
