Un caldo freddo liquido solido amniotico e catartico, ritrovarsi sul limitare di un bosco, sentire le foglie suonare per noi. Ambient, neo classica, sono solo due degli aggettivi che potremmo dare per questa musica del compositore Fabio Keiner, un maestro nel creare atmosfere scolpite nel marmo di Carrara o nell’acqua di un lago al passaggio di un cigno. Fabio è austriaco e visitando il suo bandcamp https://fabiokeiner.bandcamp.com , scoprirete un mondo fantastico di un vero mago sonoro e visionario che vi porterà lontanissimo. Siamo onorati di poter pubblicare un disco di un musicista di tale levatura, capace di catturare il cuore come pochi, ma soprattutto di far volare le mente per un ambient di altissimo livello.
Scratchy analog electronic ruminations from a quiet veteran Ministik, that ebb and flow like natural processes of evolution, growth or/and decay.
Perception and alienation, with (re)use of techniques, sources, and designs are the main features in his work expressing the world as the artist sees it.
Strange shifting rhythms, finely shaped clouds of noise, and distant techno patterns. Ministik is not a normal DJ. This craftsman will invite you to lose yourself in the depths of the abstract sounds and surreal melodies on concrete based drum patterns.

The sources of these sounds are field recordings made at different airports, on airplanes and in hotels. In these last ones the recordings are improvisations with the elements that I found in them and their different stays. These recordings were made with the windows open to capture the sounds of the outside, rain, traffic, people talking, etc.
These sounds were mixed, trying to maintain, as much as possible, the spirit they had at their origin, and rather than identifying the sounds, I wanted them to be intuited.
The different titles of the tracks refer to the places where they were recorded. The majority were mastered and completed in Madrid.

But the resemblance to Black Ark studio goes far more than just the sound and the music. After 10 years of operation, two vinyl releases and many tapes and digital releases the label stopped its operations. All releases were discontinued in 2013 & all master recordings were lost or destroyed or on purpose deleted/thrown away, with the owner of the label deciding to put an end to that musical adventure. What is left nowadays are some articles and reviews on the internet, reminding the era of a great label, which unfortunately did not get the recognition it deserved.
All this happened at the time when Dubophonic was just starting its own musical adventure in 2013. We don’t know if it was meant to be, if a higher force controls everything and connects everything together, but thanks to Gibsy Rhodes, owner of Springline Records, we got our hands on some crucial tunes found forgotten on a hard disc, which was saved from destruction. Ruff takes, dubplates, alternative cuts, demos and a few unreleased works; a true treasure to our ears!
>From our new series entitled The lost archive of Springline Records comes Sky Warrior Dub. It was never released before, until today! Foshan Roots was formed as a studio band by Thomas Dewey and Brad Turner in the summer of 2012 in the UK, working together on various projects (Roots, Reggae, Dub). Being able to establish a great connection and to overstand each other telepathically, the musical workings just started flowing. The name of their band reflects the vibes of their music.
All recordings & mixes were done in their own studio (CAF Studios) named after a very inspirational roots album. Brad & Tom play all the instruments themselves, shared out equally, so to give a different feel each time. Sky Warrior Dub consists of nine dubwise tracks in a deep rootikal style, reflecting the mystical vibes of the band! Welcome to Foshan Roots, the peaceful ZEN-warriors. Enjoy the journey to Jah music!
The ‘Non Human‘ robot has been reduced to the minimum expression, a microchip with software. This allows his artificial brain to survive practically intact to the holocaust of the ‘Fin del Tiempo’.
‘Fin del Tiempo’ is the conclusion of a series of works under one concept with the aliases of Gozne and Zacarías Malden.
‘Fin del Tiempo’ initiates the definitive fusion of styles, where the rhythmic essence of Gozne merges with the purely experimental style of Zacarías Malden.
‘Nation will rise against nation; there will be earthquakes in many places, hunger and turmoil, terror and signs in the heavens; it is necessary for this to happen, but it is not yet the end. ‘ (Jesus of Nazareth). This is also the ‘Fin del Tiempo’, believe it or not, it is already happening.
For this described above, it was appropriate to write the review and / or presentation of the work myself (Gozne), to take the opportunity to thank my family, while ending a stage of my musical career and at the same time initiating another that is more abstract and primitive, minimalist and practically binary, both in audio and video.”

As usual a showcase of unreleased artists, the best submissions of the year. A particular favourite track is by Rephazer, which is a remix of Honeyboy Edwards ‘Catfish Blues’. This is featured with special permission of Document Records, and I think it’s fantastic and fits the theme of the whole VA perfectly.
Enjoy this amazing compilation and see you in 2018!
“reCycle 2 is a compilation album that draws together a bunch of unreleased tunes that I composed during my second grand cycle (2013-2017). These 13 tracks didn’t fit on any album I released during this period but deserve to be out there nevertheless, showcasing different sides of my style of electroacoustic music.”
During the last ten years or so, while working on the Thuoom sound, Tuomo has also experimented with several (harsh) noise/avant-garde themes. As these pieces never quite fitted any other place, they are presented here for the first time, together and in a chronological order. Spellonia features Mala playing synth with Thuoom.
Instruments used on this record: algorithms, breathing, broken cord, Casio CTK-601 synth, coin, computer keyboard, cord, diarrhoea, electric guitar, electroacoustic guitar, faucet, glitches, human voice, kettle, midi, note book, sofa, speaker feedback, staple, table
