house of black lanterns is the latest musical project from dylan richards, the man behind the king cannibal and zilla monikers (on the ninja tune and warp records labels respectively). with an album and two singles out in 2013 on the highly respected houndstooth label, richards returns with a deadly ep for hypercolour, backed with a very fine mosca remix.

repress - ive never met rod modell (deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. he found an obscure cassette of chi music (from 86), sent it to astral industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of the original recordings in 2016. since then, weve exchanged ideas and good music. i sent rod a preview of the kallikatsou recordings - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of lanterns. i started working on some random, lo-fi samples from youtube, using audacity, perhaps the simplest way of producing loops and samples. it’s the only computer based system that feels like the tape recorders i used to work with. i sent the first sketches to rod on facebook, but they ended up in the wrong inbox. i forgot about them, but months later he came back saying he loved them. i decided to go back to working on them, maintaining the lo-fi approach. i began manipulating the samples: time-stretching, tempo and pitch-shifting, mixing different layers and adding old-school monophonic old speaker effects, delays and loops. i used a few field recordings, voices and samples from my early ambient cassettes, and they matched. ario from astral industries got involved and the experiment turned into a plan a vinyl release - red lantern at the kallkatsou.

black vinyl repress - lanterns - an epic journey through an evolving sonic landscape propelled by the churning momentum of reverb-soaked percussion. red lantern is an ode to the eerie red glow that once beckoned sailors to the port of amsterdam - on one side, the gentle thud of a bass drum rolls beneath haunting yet uplifting pads whilst on the reverse, bubbling bass underpins echoes of a shoreline that shifts in and out of focus. blue lantern merges dub techno and ambient experimentation, showcasing modells impressive talents in sound design and the diverse influences that span his 25-year career as a musician

brilliant feelings...

max essa - lanterns is a brand-new artist album from the japanese based producer & dj and his first release on copenhagens music for dreams label. tranquility, alone in a taxi riding through empty streets, neon fades into sunrise. a refuge from the disorientating energy of the night. the sleeper train to izumo. an okinawan beach at dusk.

... dope

rfbcolours 004 is aimed at the dark, jazzy smokey affairs. from the off u can see the imspiration fro the ep title with the a1 track from sombro and embezzlement society capturing a low end, horn sampled groover with rough claps and an undeniable groove. georgi barrel delivers again with something that will warm up the coldest clubs or capyure you on sunset terraces. long island sound hit the pianos hard on the slower paced but equally as grabbing and tense -grit-. label owner jamie trench rounds off with night lanterns which is a track thats been waiting for a space on wax for a good few years now and fits beautifully with the rest of the ep.

following the deep textures of dan curtins galaxies merging ep, epm music now heads into darker realms with drown by house of black lanterns, and featuring remixes by makaton and south london ordnance.

this is truly otherworldly music transmitted from a failed galaxy far off into deepest darkest space.

house of black lanterns is the new project from dylan richards, formerly known as king cannibal (ninja tune) and zilla (warp).

house of black lanterns is the brand new project from dylan richards, formerly known as king cannibal (ninja tune) and zilla (warp). retaining the earlier influence of dj krusts sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, house of black lanterns sees richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of rhythm & sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of michael mann.

rod modell returns as deepchord for his first solo release on astral industries since inaugurating the label with his sought-after ‘lanterns’ ep. consisting of two stunning long-form pieces split on one side each, immersions¿ captures the emotive, halcyon sound that rod has long become synonymous with. opening with glistening ambient textures, ‘immersion i’ grows into an 18-minute piece of deep rolling dub techno. on the other side ‘immersion ii’ paints pristine soundscapes of soft, lapping waves, underpinned by submerged pulsations that rise to the surface to continue its deep space explorations. two highly refined and inspiring tracks that sit on the apogee of this sound.

giallo soundtracks, drag queens, psychotropic cacti, back patches, hi-nrg, sunglasses at night, tape echo, jack o lanterns, rave rain: these are just a few of your favorite things that you might find in squirrels on film, the new record label from san francisco veterans solar and brian hock, aka c.l.a.w.s. what youll hear isnt quite techno, house, disco, or dub, but a syrupy melange of all of the above and then some. it s dance music for those who don t fit in and for djs who regard genre as a suggestion, not a rule.

support from carl craig, dj hell, karotte, joris voorn....
glasgows darkroom dubs continue on form and add to a gleaming 12-year-old catalogue with another addition to their limited vinyl series courtesy of long-term label friends, of norway who make a welcome return.

a careful work, a well illustrated journey, where the four cardinal points are 4 originals marked by a bass line sound that seems to come from a tb 303 just dusted off by a deposit of mr. ikutaro kakehashi .

without trying to making it into a thing in its own right, there is a bit of a coincidence that is appearing for some of our houndstooth artists. following dylan richards chrysalis-like metamorphosis into house of black lanterns, alec storey is the latest artist to shift phase and re-christen his output after signing to our label, progressing from the al tourettes moniker in favour of the more becoming, second storey. whilst his new name might be in homage to the musical path set forth for him by his father, the four-track margosa heights ep sounds very little like anything you have heard from the bristol based producer before.

dave clarke, britisches techno-urgestein der ersten stunde, trŠgt seine spannendsten remixes seiner jŸngsten, amsterdamer schaffensphase auf einem album zusammen. wie Ÿblich ist die vielfalt der original interpeten bemerkenswert und reicht von punk bis new beat und von aktuellen hip artists bis leider lŠngst aufgelšsten bands. dave clarke ist bekannt dafŸr, die original-intention der kŸnstler stets beizubehalten, obwohl er den tracks neue gewŠnder von techno bis electro, von aalglatt bis futuristisch und von dark bis heavy verpasst, was seine remixes fŸr fischerspooner oder depeche mode zu zeitlosen kult klassikern werden lie§. die soundpalette der kollektion charcoal eyes: a selection of remixes from amsterdam deckt diese gesamte stilistische bandbreite hervorragend ab.
