“TA2MI Presents_ Cheese N Pot-C”

Hey kids… do you like beats and rhymes? Are you ready for some dope new music? Well we’ve got a treat for you today! We’ve got a brand new EP by those crazy Japan-based Canadians Cheese N Pot-C. It’s not an ordinary CNP EP… either. This one features the incredible beats of Jodo Shinshuu Buddhist monk / DJ / Producer / beatboxer… TA2MI. That’s right, a Buddhist monk who can rock those funky beats.

CNP and TA2MI go back to 2001 when a mutual friend introduced them. In 2011, TA2MI was featured in the documentary KanZeOn and is now set to launch his whirlwind interview and show tour. Today’s release is a taste of a full-length project that’s set to drop in 2017.

A very special thank you goes out to TA2MI, HighSnow, Long John & Cheese N Pot-C for this dope new EP! I look forward to the LP next year!

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!

Erich Schall – SONDE

Erich Schall – SONDE
[wuerfel 20]

Erich Schall

“SONDE”

Erich Schall gehört einfach zu den ganz Guten. Nicht nur, weil dies bereits sein drittes Album auf dem kleinen grünen Würfel ist. Sondern auch, weil er es schafft, sich nicht zu wiederholen. In der Rockmusik spricht man gerne vom schwierigen dritten Album. Erich Schall ficht das nicht an. Er hat schon lange zu seiner Musiksprache gefunden, wobei hier eigentlich die Mehrzahl angebracht ist. Denn, um bei diesem Bild einmal zu bleiben, Erich Schall spricht fließend Dub-Techno, Minimal, Elektro und neuerdings auch IDM und Downtempo. Aber wen interessieren in unserer Postmoderne noch Genre-Grenzen?
Niemanden, genau. Ach so, war eine rhetorische Frage. Egal.

Die freie Wahl der Mittel stellt Erich Schall vor das Problem, nicht in die Beliebgkeit abzudriften. Er löst dies ganz meisterhaft durch Selbstbeschränkung. Jedes Stück verfolgt exakt eine Idee und das ganz konsequent. Seien es nun Sounds von elektronischen Klanghölzern in „Sticks“, von einem Saxophon in „Saxblock“ oder von einem Klavier in „Quantifier“ – stets lotet er alle Möglichkeiten und Variationen bis ins letzte aus. Auch scheint es, als habe er zudem noch verschieden Tempi erforschen wollen. Denn vom extrem treibenden Peaktime Kracher „Tropical Dodge“ über hypnotische Midtempo Stücke für die Aufwärmphase wie „Outside the Tent“ oder „Seep“ bis hin zum abschließenden, chillig langsamen Rausschmeißer „Dew“ werden alle Zeiten bedient.

Ein Album für einen ganzen Abend also, mit einer wunderbaren Spannungskurve. Kann man gut durchhören. Aber natürlich darf sich auch jeder gerne seine Perle herauspicken. Und das Schöne dabei: Perlen gibt es für alle genug bei diesem Album.

Susan Matthews – From Veliko

Susan Matthews – From Veliko
[PE08]

Susan Matthews

“From Veliko”

From Veliko was in part, inspired by a recent visit to Veliko Tarnovo (the medieval capital of Bulgaria). Most days I wandered to The Monument Of The Assens. I sat and contemplated the old town across the Yantra river, where the ‘hanging houses’ cling precariously to the steep hillside, some are literally crumbling and sliding towards the river below. This seeming fragility is reflected in both the music & lyrics I composed for this project. ‘’The Road From Veliko’ is also a metaphor for a psychological journey – from the darkness of depression back towards the light.
Susan Matthews

You almost have to draw breath after the album finished, this listener suddenly realised that he had been holding his, hanging on every note. There is genuine power held in these songs, quiet and drifting as they are; they have an intensity that is bewitching and all encompassing. This is music for the liminal hours, for dawn or dusk, for candlelight. Highly recommended, this album deserves your close attention.
Excerpt of review by Grey Malkin (The Hare & The Moon) for The Active Listener blog.

Susan Matthews is a UK based composer/musician, known for her intense, ambitious, hypnotic harmonies and industrial noise creations.

Lucian Freud

“Lucrid”

Do you miss Nirvana? Hot-new awesome release! Straight from Baltimore/USA – Lucian Freud band and “Lucrid” material.
Just listen to “The Gift of the Grubs” or “Covered in Blood”! What a sound! Nirvana comparison is not overblown at all. But it’s not enough to describe what Lucian Freud’s music is. And it’s not fair to try. Netlabel’s discovery of the year so far!

Lucian Freud’s inspirations: Nirvana, Van Halen, Agent Orange, The Cure, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Butthole Surfers, Cop Shoot Cop, Cream, David Bowie, Ryu Umemoto, California X, Dead Kennedys, The Talking Heads, Devo, Archers of Loaf, Dinosaur Jr., Elliot Smith, Failure, Shellac, Pavement, Pixes, The Police, Rush, Sonic Youth, Thin Lizzy, Tony Molina, Trans Am, The Who.

Deftechnixks – Dfxx EP

Deftechnixks – Dfxx EP
[UPL 071]

Deftechnixks

“Dfxx EP”

Deftechnixks explores the core of noisy rock music, by stripping it of all non-essentials. All that is left is energetic experimental post-punk clatter featuring unschooled screaming, a drumset consisting of boxes and tins, and an electric guitar with strings crossed. This results in a heap of joyful, noisy rock-bashing in the amateur, passionate spirit characteristic for all underpolen releases.

NNYz? – Acceptance EP
[375]

NNYz?

“Acceptance EP”

A short but ever so sweet release coming up from new guest artist NNYz? (don’t forget the ?) called Acceptance EP. Perhaps a deeper meaning of a new unknown artist wanting to be accepted by his peers, or just requesting an accepted listening of his work.

Acceptance EP is an interesting mashup of different styles, such as subtle guitars overlaid an electronic background, epic ambient passages with hardcore analog or detailed minimal electronics getting you to stretch your ears.

An interesting but perhaps little short introduction to NNYz? Let’s hope for more, longer work in the future! Track of choice, the coolest Emilove!

javier piñango – i​.​r​.​real 8

javier piñango – i​.​r​.​real 8
[PT041]

javier piñango

“i​.​r​.​real 8”

This is the eighth album from Javier Piñango’s i.r.real series, using only a Korg MS-20 analog synth and some sonic effects treatments. “i.r.real 8” is structured as a classic double album with the SOUTH as underlying concept in the emotional, the geographical, and of course, the sonic sense. It is an ambitious, complex work directly connected with personal memory and environment – deeply poetic and deeply political. Its sound goes one step further in the evolution of the i.r.real project, sharing some timbres and sounds with the previous album “i.r.real 7”, but focusing now on compositions which are sometimes based on highly evolutionary structures –the feeling of descent and fall– and at other times on structures with a progressive fragmentation and subsequent defragmentation of the sound, and of the composition itself; breaking, starting, muting, returning to its origin, uniting, restarting… All greatly related with the landscape of the Alpujarra region in Granada (Andalucía, Spain), which acts as inspiration and symbolic location for the entire album; going from hill to endless verticality, breaking into pieces and finally reuniting lower down…

“In this new album there is a considerable and decisive personal, emotional load. I’ve already felt for some years the need to work with the poetic, political, and geographical concept of the SOUTH, both as a creative motor and as a vehicle of resistance, at a personal level and at a purely sonic one. I’ve somehow also felt a special need to connect this concept with my own circumstances; using the Alpujarra region in Granada as a reference seemed to be the logical personal space around which I should build this “i.r.real 8”. The album is a metaphor of the dissidence and necessary resistance that I identify with the SOUTH as a concept. However, as I’ve already said, there is a personal space in this land located next to the enormous wall formed by Sierra Nevada, which appears as a barricade, separating this world from an unreal world – a deeply i.r.real world. My father, born in a village of Alpujarra named Cádiar, used to speak about the ‘hill’ (‘el cerro’, the 3.479m high Mulhacén Peak), as a static guard that filled up the horizon towards the North and that somehow fell thousands of metres down towards the South, through that other world, with the sea as its final destination…”

Realm – Empyrean

Realm – Empyrean
[374]

Realm

“Empyrean”

Ambience. That’s the name of the game with this months release from Kahvi ambient meister ‘Realm’. Short in track number but long in playing time, Empyrean is another example of long evolving textures and epic depth similar to Realms previous release at #360 last year.

Not sounding unlike Curious Inversions with his subtle mentions of Tangerine Dream and Solar Fields, Realm takes it to another level with subtle and gentle peaks and troughs.

Self loops and voices is a favourite for me with it’s retro feel and nudges towards Tangerine Dream, and Vorpal Sword is more aimed at squaring off alongside Curious Inversions territory. Cover artwork is by guest artist Jukka Hautamaki, who is well known for mixing art with electronic audio. This work is entitled ‘Empyrean’ fittingly. http://www.galleriahuuto.net/?p=10044&lang=en

Piod is one of the newer music projects of phonocake co-founder Knut Kaulke who accompanied us from the very first beginning. While his latest stuff is heavily influenced from new production settings with the Kyma system his first tracks under the Piod moniker are diversely looking for direction. Nonetheless it is genuine electronic music, kind of wild and alive.

Projekt Luty

“Dygnitarz”

In December 2015 the commonest comember of Projekt Luty, Stach, visited the Nad Garażem Studio fresh from the British Isles for a joyful recording session. As always the project’s aim is to combine the knowledge and abilities of a person with (some) musical abilities, and the enthusiasm and fresh approach of a person unblemished with musical-theoretical background. And as always, at the crossroads we have an unimitable, undefineable organized chaos galloping through psychedelia, krautrock, punk, post-punk, even ambient and grunge, while keeping its lo-fi and homemade charm.

Paolino Canzoneri

“Planemo”

Paolino Canzoneri is an italian non musician. His experimental approach is an alchemy of acoustic samplings and sonorous fragments, research of sounds and effects that seem to interact in a suggestive way. As a result, the compositions may consist of ambient music, sometimes hypnotic, rhythmic loops with an impression of claustrophobic atonality.The modular synthesis creates sound flows with prolonged dynamics and dilated interlaced by horizontal structure that involves the repetition of sound nucleous, cycles constructed by stacking layers on layers that instill in the listener a feeling of inertia until the end of execution.

Ana Paula Santana González
(Guadalajara, Jalisco, México b.1985)

Sobre Ana Paula, en sus palabras:

Me interesan los sonidos constantes, maquinales, abrumadores. Me interesa la relación del sonido y el cuerpo humano, el cual entiendo como un material absorbente que incesantemente admite y reacciona a frecuencias del exterior. Me interesa la voz, la experimentación con los límites de nuestra voz y el fenómeno simpático entre la voz propia y las voces que nos apropiamos. Mi creación artística se sitúa en medio del campo del performance y la instalación y con frecuencia es motivada por ideas y fundamentos de índole antropológico.

My interest is based in constant sounds, machinelike , overwhelming. I’m interested in the relationship between sound and the human body , which I understand as an absorbent material that constantly receives and reacts to frequencies from outside. I’m interested in the voice , in experimenting with the limits of our voice and the sympathetic phenomenon between the own voice and the voices that we appropriate . My artistic creation is in the middle of the performance and installation and is often motivated by ideas and foundations of anthropological nature .

Mastermind SX – Keep on moving
[DPH025]

Mastermind SX

“Keep on moving”

Mastermind XS is a dub-project from Saarbrucken/Germany, created by Daniel Stephan (guitar, bass, keyboard, programming, sitar) and Heiko Petry (vocals, lyrics, melodica, keyboard). Their music is based on a solid dub foundation: heavy basslines with conscious lyrics and deeply rooted dub & reggae with an interesting twist, integrating many influences such as electro, ethnic music, drum/n/bass and even indie or punk. Their sound unites different styles, which hardly fits into one single genre and are always exploring new musical spaces, combining their Ableton skills and live instruments, forming a unique ear-candy-mixture of grooves.

They have been busy releasing their music since October 2010 on diverse netlabels. Their first EP “One Dub Many Roots“, was released on the French netlabel LCL, while in 2011 their first long-player ”Reset all systems“ was released on Angel Dust Records. Their next album “Freedom of choice” was released in august 2014 again on LCL.

Dubophonic is proud to host their new album “Keep on moving”. It’s a compilation of 12 songs representing their unique and unconventional blend of dub & reggae. Modern and roots-elements are combined with drum/n/bass, electro, dubstep, indie rock heavy guitars, conscious lyrics and of course deep basses and delays.

Mastered by the pioneering artist, producer and peace activist Celt Islam, their new release (and their first on our netlabel) is a proof of the duo’s strength and innovation: writing reggae and dub oriented music with socially conscious lyrics and musically exploring different ideas, oscillating between danceable and meditative, powerful and calm, groovy and heavy, on their quest to define the far distanced borders of dub music.

Wings of an Angel

“Philistine Troubadour Forgot To Discover The World”

Musing over the threshold of time,
I was an endless azure horizon
Crying out in ecstasy on the wretched earth;
Endless inspiration had forsaken our thorns

Desolate mountains with a philistine angel on top
The heavens’ pale lights terminally wielding;
White scapular with odorous jasmine wings,
Must undress of
Lush glimmering fire.

Innumerable blazing hallucinations;
The grey earth with its fathomless midnights
Forsaken and drunken of the blues
With a white philistine angel expiring above lesser fields – – –

Reality is the biggest enemy we’ve ever had.

“Laments of a Chess Automaton”

Laments of a Chess Automaton is the newest work of John Novak, whose turned into a Kahvi regular it seems.

A ten track album with a large array of different styles, deep basses and airy beats in Brightly lit shores to the muted and subtle Sixty Dragons. Listening carefully you could understand a few influences such as Tangerine Dream and Air but also some of the classic electronic work from the 90s.

Heck, there may even be a touch of some older Chemical Brothers in here somewhere, so listen for some pretty serious beats and tight basslines!

Tracks of choice for me are: Brightly Lit Shores, Sixty Dragons and Ganymedean Factory Visit with its cool lounge feel. #
