Noname & Paprastai : Spacetime Resonance [CTR043]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“We create sound, as a meaningful communication or as a vehicle for mind. If you want to truly hear our sound you must know how to listen not only with your ears, because our sound is not for entertainment.

We classify our music in three categories: contact music, background music and storytelling music. Contact music is when rhythms of sounds and compositions generate a very simple moment of a seamless connection between the listener and the sound, which evokes intuition, and an unusual sequence of events. These are moments when music resonates with imagination without leaving any kind of difference between the performer of the sound and the listener. Everything becomes one, and unusually simple. Background music is a stream of sound which is good for meditative kind of creative activities. It doesn’t matter if this activity happends only inside of you or outside as well. Storytelling music are compositions that express certain experiences, which are intended to lead you to focus on certain subjects. Our album Spacetime Resonance is a mix of background and storrytelling music.

Any kind of meaningful music reveals it self in an appropriate environment and time. There is a very good saying in Lithuania, which explains things that you can get without putting much effort into it. Translated into english it would sound something like this: ‘cheap sausage is eaten by dogs’.”

Axs : Rosewood Secrets [BC25A]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“For the 25th entry in the long-running Bedroom Compost series, we have a special set of three Axs albums, packed to the brim with unreleased works from his personal archives. The first volume, Rosewood Secrets, is a lively collection of 9 tracks that bounce and subside with a monochromatic clarity. Familiar elements of dub and minimal techno are frequent, and Axs keeps things moving from track to track, making Rosewood a varied and fresh listen. Renewed by a concise remastering job (courtesy of The Analog Botanist) and augmented with the addition of two new tracks (Restored Picture A and B – available on CD only) which themselves are reconfigurations of old session materials, Rosewood Secrets reveals only the basic elements needed to fully exhibit the talent behind the Axs name. The second and third volumes of the “secrets” collection will be issued in November and December, so keep an eye out for those too.”

Mizgir : Mizgir EP [WOND007]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Mizgir invites you to his secret garden. The music on this EP is universal, intriguing, and romantic. Following its own rules, the approach of Mizgir is soulful, organic, integrating instrumental parts played live as well as improvisational elements. Classical, ethnic, jazz, electronics and silence are the main influences in this open concept.
The track ‘Starostin’ features Sergei Starostin playing rozhok from ‘Shymel Kamish’ and the track ‘Esenin’ features vocal cuts from Sergei Starostin song ‘Devki’.
Arctic Sunrise Intro and Arctic Sunrise are tribute tracks for the crew of Arctic Sunrise, imprisoned in Murmansk – Russia.”

The Courier : Delivery Strike EP [upfree58]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“They say The Courier delivers all around the world and is always back in time for tea. Maybe he does have a time machine (that would explain his top skills in writing great old school rave music), or maybe he just has some incredible time keeping skills, who knows?! but what we do know is that he sure knows how to deliver some top vibes!

After the classic Got The Vibes, and after his smashing set at the 10th birthday weekender in Liverpool, we’re very very proud to release The Courier’s second EP. Ambient Pads, Rave Stabs, Cheesy Pianos, High Pitched Vocals, all the perfect ingredients for that ultimate and lovely sounding old school rave music.

Let’s all go back to 1993…”

Ibel meets Med Dred : Love fi life [DPH008]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“For the release of this mini album we are happy to introduce the first collaboration between Cyprus and Jamaica on our label. The conscious lyrics of the Spanish Town singer and poet Ibel Campbell blend with the musical compositions of Med Dred, accompanied by some exclusive dubs by Med Dred and Dub Caravan inna dubophonic style.

Born the eighth day of December 1967, at the Kingston Jubilee hospital, the Jamaican artist Ibel Campbell was registered ‘Scafford Campbell’ and is the first of miss Antoinette three children. His father died when he was just a toddler and grandma had to lend a hand with his growth and development. She resided in St. Thomas thus most of his earlier years were spent in the country. He began doing his own business of ‘heart’ –portraits, murals, t-shirts, backdrops, performing on the first and second staging of ‘East Fest’, recorded ‘Babylon a duppy’ at ‘Pent house’ studio for the Morgan’s heritage, is the first dub poet featured by ‘Jammin’s label with a tune called ‘travel the world’ done with ‘Bushman’ and is also the artist responsible for the art on the jacket of Taurus Riley’s first album. As a writer and poet he has written a book ‘Deep within Blackness’ soon to be in stores. He hopes his works will keep Blacks from slipping below their standard while making way over and around obstacles presented by a system without a face or a fixed address.

The internet highway made possible to meet at the other side of the globe our own Med Dred, who wrote for him the music for this mini album. The two bredrens used the internet to exchange their material. The music was composed and recorded in Cyprus, the vocals were recorded in Jamaica Spanish Town at Rippas Production and the whole project was finalised in Med Dred studio in Nicosia, Cyprus. Musical data travelled again from Cyprus to Dub Caravan’s studio in London, where a special version of ‘Protect me’ was live dubbed and then forwarded back to Cyprus for the final mastering.

One last word about the credits on this release: all music written, produced, mixed & mastered by Med Dred while all vocals written and performed by Ibel. Med Dred played melodica on the dubs and percussion on ‘Protect me’, Kyp Paraskeva played electric guitars on ‘Rise’ and Felix Dub Caravan played guitars & bass on ‘Protect me’. Deepest respect to our bredren Felix Dub Caravan for providing us ‘Protection dub’, a live analogue dub cut of ‘Protect me’, which is included as a special bonus track.

Tehbis : Luckdaw EP [GRV004]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Following releases from LA’s Depakote, Manchester’s Kuartz and the well-received Groovement // Volume One compilation featuring a plethora of beatmakers, LabelGroovement is extremely proud to present music from Tehbis as our fourth digital release.

London-based Tristan Williams, aka Tehbis, first came to wider attention with the inclusion of his track Higher on Kutmah’s 2012 Brownswood compilation, Worldwide Family Volume 2 – and Kutmah is a man of impeccable taste when it comes to beats. This led to Tehbis joining the big K on the much lauded Boiler Room twice: initially in April 2013 with Slugabed and Mo Kolours and again in June 2013 with fellow underground producers/DJs Esgar, Jo Def and Tim Parker. To top this off, in September FACT magazine named him as one of ten breaking producers to watch in 2014.

The Luckdaw EP (for in this day and age, 3 tracks doth indeed constitute an EP) sees Tehbis in full on stomper mode, with a little introspection thrown in for good measure. Opener Deww straight up slaps you in the face with a variety of sonic implements in its brief two minutes. With Saturday Cartoons Tehbis teams up with the don Kidkanevil to deliver a collaborative magic carpet ride smacker, while closer Bristol Way quickly builds up into a ridiculous riff that should mash up the club / living room with ease. All tracks are layered with Tehbis’ trademark offworld chords and carefully-unfettered drum snaps, with just a hint of sublime vocals to ground the sounds.”

Myniciush & Erimus : Artilugios [blpsq037]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“The Colombian downtempo duo returns to our catalog along with a new partner in sound, Erimus. The three of them have crafted an exquisite exercise in sonic storytelling, rich with texture and crackly ambience. Life moves in time stretched slow motion while these surreal extended pieces melt away your perceptions of reality.”
