days of being wild continues their collaboration with berlin based french producer franz matthews, releasing his first solo ep, the spacey, cosmic ostkreuz. half of the duo languages, whose 1st ep the label released at the end of last year, franz matthews explores a very different sound on his first solo effort, all space disco, retro synths and funky guitars out. title track ostkreuz has been road tested by the days of being wild crew on dance floors all around europe all of last year and has created euphoria and anticipation in equal measure. this is a cosmic hit from outer space, all constructed around well known ingredients that thanks to franz matthews musical and melodic talent rise here to epic heights. the b-side guns of rixdorf is another devastating peak time tune. while remaining in the same vein as ostkreuz, it feels more high energy with its irresistible funky guitars calling and responding over a driving bass. days of being wild always try to pair producers with remixers that will shed a new light on their work. its no exception with ostkreuz, who gets the reinvention treatment from no other than moscoman and rodion aka the claydermans. the cosmic vibe is still here hovering on top in the opening chords of the remix, but soon enough a sub, housier bass makes its way in the mix and wont let you go until the end. carried by shuffling claps and a bouncier beat, the groove here is totally re-invented, taking ostkreuz from peak time to the darker edges of after land.

a dark rain falls on the reeds. the girl stands in the marsh. night birds are wailing. slowly she sinks in the water. no other way. an immaterial wave swells around her. the voice echoes on the other side of the liquid wall. going. she reaches her hand out to the translucent water and passes throughÓ her entire body, shivering, travels across. gone. she falls down the self-sufficient hole. the white noise of the water becomes unbearable. deafened, the girl tries to escape the surveillance of the sonar system. she finally crawls out of the aqueous tunnel : in front of her, lay the basses-terres
an unswervingly honest, highly personal album, darker than blue instills blue daisys personal experiences into a cinematic meditation on the clash between the forces of dark and light, yin and yang, good and evil. wrestling with inner and outer demons, blue daisy leads us on an intense downward spiral of a journey fueled by uncomfortable truths, sleepless nights, love, loss, religion, faith and doubt. unconfined to one specific genre, the record traverses brooding rock, intense rap, elements of the blues, and is imbued with a punk attitude and aesthetic throughout.
the vinyl lp includes a download code.

rugged/troubles is a double a that lives up to its name in every way. if we wrote cliched press releases we would say the release >does what it says on the tin< but getdarker dont deal in hackneyed, meaningless sayings, we deal in undiluted, speaker-banging platters. and they dont bang much harder than this pair of purist party-starters. troubles follows. in more ways than one.

featuring the vocals of rob burns, this has the trademark busy joeski groove. tight bassline and warm keys, the vocal doesn?t have quite the range of say omar alxnder, but the beats are tough. the dub on the flip goes darker with far more techy bleepier flair and is hot !
ever since first appearing on bristol s black acre imprint back in 2009, kwesi darko s blue daisy project has been hard to pin down. 2011 debut album the sunday gift was a triumph of woozy downtempo fusion, with bustling bass music influences rubbing shoulders with folksy elements, ambient, trip-hop and experimental electronica. following black acre s demise, darko now finds himself on r&s, a label willing to let him follow his unique path. as a result, sophomore album darker than blue is an even more adventurous and enjoyable set than its predecessor, with darko adding modern classical, beat poetry and hazy jazz influences to his already heady musical brew.
