Mantris

“I’m So Many People”

Released December 14, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited cassette edition.

It has been almost 30 years since Mantris shared music with the world. Together with Christoph Waelkens he was the driving force behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. Their creative connection led to three consecutive releases in 1992 on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris vanished into thin air. Until early 2020…

I’m So Many People, his ambient masterpiece debut on Mahorka, encapsulates the idea that we all play various roles throughout our lives. A journey unfolds from darkness to hope. Compared to his earlier albums, this one is even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords. Anatoly ‘Tokee’ Grinberg has done an excellent job of comprehending and mastering this music to bring out the full range of the sounds generated.

“The album’s journey mirrors our own, from the masks we wear to the ultimate acceptance of our true selves. The journey to the deity is a personal one, and not everyone may complete it.”

Composed and produced by Mantris
Mastering by Anatoly Grinberg

Shortcuts – Strand EP

Shortcuts – Strand EP
[djummi.034]

Shortcuts

“Strand EP”

Shortcuts went on a beach holiday! They came back with an EP in their luggage, which is tellingly titled “Strand”.

It is sometimes about “lying in the sun” or “swimming in the sea”, “journey” in the literal and figurative sense is a recurring motif. But anyone who expects a kind of vacation report set to music or even concept music is thinking too short-sightedly.

There are a few things different on “Strand” than on the previous two releases. The record is not only the most electronic, but also the most guitar-heavy in the band’s history to date. The music is also much more straightforward this time, which brings the duo closer to their live sound. “Strand” is also the first Shortcuts record with completely German lyrics. Another special feature is that Jule does not play drums on any of the songs, as usual, but guitar.

The rest remains the same. On “Strand” Shortcuts again live up to their name: you can hear short, concise songs in which nothing more is said and played than necessary.

Various – Aural Vault: Chapter One

Various – Aural Vault: Chapter One
[ACP 1434]

Various

“Aural Vault: Chapter One”

In October 2023, a number of artists submitted tracks for a compilation project intended to serve as a time capsule, set to release exactly a year later. While some artists drew connections between their work from the 1980s and the present day, others included messages aimed at the future, meant to be read in 2024. This project served as an exploration of timelessness, with each artist’s perspective on their work being deeply personal and not easily shared with the outside world. Their inspirations varied — some drew hope from the past, while others tackled their fears. For a few, it turned into an exercise in nihilism, as they stripped their work of all meaning to reflect their views on the world, offering a glimpse into their personalities. And, others expressed a desire for drastic changes to make the world safer.

“Your Music Is Boring”

This is what people said about this music and what this music said about theirs.

You want all music to be about euphoria to fuel your fantasy driven life, while this music is about the joy of discovery, to fuel the exploration of the way this universe operates.

It’s boring to you, because you like to fuel your euphoria driven fantasy. Your music is boring to me because it is all the same – tup tis to tis.

D-Fried – Images sur la mer
[phokes151]

D-Fried

“Images sur la mer”

Boarding the flying ship, which is also a submarine.
Breathe in the molecules that tell stories.
Adventure stories of places beyond the known.

Jordi Saludes alias D-Fried has moved to a city by the sea and studies the waves and nature there, sitting right in front of the ocean when he produces music. One result is the album “Images sur la mer”, the images of the sea, an album that stimulates the imagination, a journey through soul and spirit.

Like with D-Fried’s first release on Phonocake, this release is presented with an amazing contemporary digitally version of an artwork by Buna. It is about the idea, that everything is connected and this idea reflects in oceans especially, since the oceans connect all the continents on our precious planet.
» artist shout outs:.

thanx to Buna, Dani, and Sven for their support

[KAM073]

Luka Prinčič

“DRAGX​̶​FUNK”

Luka Prinčič recently also known as Prince Lucija (Crucial Pink, ex-Nova deViator and Deviant Funk) created a pile of music for a certain genre-transgressive stage show. On these originals and reworks of various degrees Prinčič is joined by bouquet of members from the collective The Feminalz. The shuffling team of collaborators presents itself in the usually peculiar and ambivalent light on the new productions, stealing melodic and textual images in a mix of instrumental club tracks and lyrically generous songs that function both as performative moments and repeatable musical hooks.

DRAGX̶FUNK is a transgenre mutation, a fluid entity, jagged pop, electro-funk, techno-cabaret, a schlager, and soft alternative, queer to the core, satire and tragedy, sharp and fun indulgence for the dance of bodies and brains, activism and hedonism, which would all like to steal your attention.

DRAGX̶FUNK is pronounced /dɹæɡɑːfʌŋk/.

Joan Lavandeira – Pain recordings

Joan Lavandeira – Pain recordings
[pn239]

Joan Lavandeira

“Pain recordings”

“Pain recordings” is a complex sound collage that delves into the fragments of memory emerging from personal relationships. Blending electronica, industrial, drone, noise, and bass music, the album offers an abstract and evocative experience, where traces of human connections manifest in structured forms.

This double album plays with the abbreviations M. and J., drawing from Robert Smith’s approach in the track “M” from “Seventeen Seconds”. The song references Albert Camus’ novel “La Mort Heureuse”, where the character Patrice Mersault feels jealous of his girlfriend Marthe’s other lovers, beginning with the phrase Hello image.

The album’s focus is not on raw emotion but rather on the ways memories—fuzzy, distorted, and at times disorienting—filter into consciousness. Each track acts as an autonomous yet interconnected fragment, reconstructing the vestiges of human interactions. Industrial landscapes, deep basslines, and the raw textures of noise create an unsettling atmosphere, where sounds echo past moments, reconstructed and deconstructed in a sonic quest for meaning through drone.

The music of “Pain recordings” embraces a fragmented sonic aesthetic, in which rhythms and melodies emerge and disappear like memories dissolving over time. It’s a work that captures the incomplete and fleeting nature of memory, offering an experience that is as challenging as it is hypnotic. Listeners are invited to navigate these passages of broken sounds and saturated textures, finding their own interpretations in what lingers between the sounds.

Rather than presenting a linear narrative, the album unfolds as a mosaic of sounds that invite reflection on the fragility of memory and how past events are reconstructed in fragmented ways in our minds. “Pain recordings” is, ultimately, an experimental sonic exercise, where relationships and memories become raw material for an exploration that feels as cerebral as it is emotional.

“Return to Balance”

Events occur – time passes. What happened still happened, yet enough stillness gives separation. Ideally, this detachment is partial – a boon of timely perspective, allowing appreciation of other things while retaining connection to that which was.

[mi326]

dgfy

“Lolicore EP”

With over 15 edited releases, the Portuguese artist dgty finally arrives at MiMi Records. He is one of the few national artists who embraces otaku culture and, along with it, blends breakbeat and lolicore to create an experimental sound full of textures.

In this EP/Single with just two tracks, dgty gives us everything: fast and frantic beats, exploring lolicore with distorted, high-pitched voice samples, and the use of loops and glitch atmospheres to create a sense of deconstruction, maintaining a constant tension.

Lolicore EP is the name of this record, and right from the title, we can see the irreverence that reflects the provocative attitude of the music, almost as if it were a sonic transgression.

An EP perfect for fans of experimental electronic music and otaku culture.

Radiovision vs. Earsheltering

EARSHELTERING: 20 years of noise

earsheltering celebrates is 20th anniversary in 2024 with a various artists release as a tribute to RADIOVISION.

Thanks to all artists & friends who supported this project & also EARSHELTERING since 20 years, especially Alkbazz providing a wonderful artwork within short timelines & Françis Baume for Amazing sampling from Radiovision to create interludes between each tracks.
The release is available as a free virtual double disc available on archives & bandcamp(s). Disc 1 is dedicated to Radiovision serie and disc 2 is dedicated to Radiovision Eveil serie.
1 video clips by CorteX is also made available.

Radiovision is an educational program which was launched in 1955, combining a school radio program with a slide show and a booklet. Forgotten today, it was a great success until the 1980s.

The slideshow and booklets were received on request by schools a few weeks before the radio program was broadcast. The colored slideshow pictures were larger and in a higher definition than the television image could offer. Paintings, engravings, manuscripts and old photographs were rendered with a higher quality than television couldn’t reach. It was therefore particularly useful for Geography, History of Arts and Natural Sciences classes.

The teacher had to manually ensure synchronization between images and sounds, triggering the transition to the next slide at each the sound signal.

During the 70s, in addition to the combination of sounds and still images, radiovisions became part of a more complete multimedia system, from an educational and tools point of view, and made up the radiovisual file. Each week, two programs from the “Radio-awakening” series would be associated with the radiovision, developing complementary aspects of the subject dealt with, along with educational documents gathered together in a file (15 to 20 pages of program content analysis, bibliography, texts, photographs, maps, etc.).

From the 1974-75 school year onwards, a flexy 7 inch disk would be part of the package for a few files, and then it developed to become more systematically; in the 80s, audio cassettes took over the flexy 7 inch disk.

Luneta Freedom Jazz Collective – Mga Matang Pumipikit Sa Langit
[mhrk421]

Luneta Freedom Jazz Collective

“Mga Matang Pumipikit Sa Langit”

Luneta Freedom Jazz Collective is an experimental jazz group from Manila, Philippines. Their first studio album “Ethos”, was recorded and released in 2015, followed by “Inland Empire” in 2017. In 2021 the project debuted on Mahorka with their third album, “Slaves and Masters”.

“Mga matang pumipikit sa langit” (translates to “Eyes closing to the sky”) is their fourth album and second on Mahorka, released December 7, 2024

“Mga pinagbabatayang kaisipan at paniniwala tungkol sa pinakapuso ng kalikasan ng tunay na nandito at umiiral, na nagsisilbi namang pinakasahig ng iba pang mga kaisipan at paniniwala.”

The album as a whole is grounded on the profound engagement with the foundational ideologies and convictions concerning the nature of that which genuinely exists and prevails, serving as the primary basis for all subsequent thoughts and beliefs that underpin human thought and belief. Offering a nuanced perspective, each moment delves into different facets of human cognition, reality, and perception, mirroring how foundational ideologies about reality shape and are shaped by these elements.

Luneta Freedom Jazz Collective are:
Hamzah Nubia – Guitar
Rahiem Tashan – Percussion
Althea Segunda Katigbak – Keys
Akilah Marasigan – Sax

“What Is This Noise”

Noisy and chaotic experiments with where the music starts in the presence of sounds.

Material which is not preferred is the definition of noise. What makes music become noise? When it plays something that is not expected?

What if nothing is being expected, but it is just an experiment of things that did not become music yet? A by-product of exploration of how to explain an idea, before it has manifested.

Neko – Windfall (Mahorka Edition)

Neko – Windfall (Mahorka Edition)
[mhrk419]

Neko

“Windfall (Mahorka Edition)”

Refreshed from a year’s meditation and fuelled by a lethal combination of extra strong coffee and those lotus biscuits with the cream in the middle, Neko, the premier act to emerge from Bristol’s thriving Japanese language post rock/electronica micro scene (population 1) are back with “Windfall”, their second EP, following on from their highly acclaimed 2023 debut “King Louie”.

Like most second releases, it’s a more mature collection of songs than its predecessor (fewer songs about 5 a side football, more songs about complicated IT jobs and desperate attempts to avoid middle aged spread) that sees the band, now with vocalist Yuka Suzuki as a full time member, polish and develop their distinctive sound.

Teaming up again with producer Dom Mitchison, the EP’s four tracks are a vibrant melting pot of styles and ideas. Yuka Suzuki’s ethereal vocals are the one constant, through the dreamy “Stack Overflow” and “Kleshas” to the moody guitar lines and Donna Summer style synths of “Almost Forgotten”. The slow-building title track “Windfall” brings the EP to a pounding, cathartic conclusion.

The band will be undertaking a short tour towards the end of November to promote the release, with dates in Cardiff, London and hometown Bristol currently pencilled in. The “Windfall” EP is available for listening on Spotify and other music streaming services, while officially released on Shoredive Records (on CD) and Mahorka (cassette).

The Mahorka Edition cassette includes a whole exclusive B side of spectacular remixes of the original EP tracks by Asshole Galaxy, Tawdry Otter, Brainquake, popon and Suzuki.
