Wayab – Triptych
[mhrk250]
Wayab
“Triptych”
From the very inception of Wayab – with “Tales from the transcendent” – the substance of the project has been finding ways to express the inexpressible through the development of abstract language based on sound. This release differs from the previous Wayab albums in its incorporation of verbal language alongside the purely sonic one, with quotations from ancient scriptures, both canonical and apocryphal.
The album is structured as a sonic triptych, representing three paths leading in the same direction. On the left is the path of knowledge – it begins with the desire to know, followed by the acquisition of knowledge and in the end – the becoming of the knowledge itself. In the center is the path of direct experience, of grace. Short and simple rhythmic structures are transfigured into spacious soundscapes embodying the formless timelessness at the center of existence. On the right is the path of devotion, of love – simultaneously a prayer for existence and an expression of gratefulness for it.
The development of a language capable of expressing the inexpressible is an infinite process that cannot reach completion and yet understanding this impossibility to be complete is its very completion. To quote one of the great translators of ancient knowledge from the Sanskrit, Juan Mascaró: “All true progress is an inner creation that leads to the joy of the Infinite.”

THE GOUP – THE NOUP GORGE REMIXES
THE GOUP
“THE NOUP GORGE REMIXES”
岡山を中心に活動する3ピースバンド、THE NOUP。時に暴力的に時にミニマルにグルーヴを波打たせるドラムとベース、それに寄り添うように空間を切り裂くギターと電子音、そして艶めかしく絡みつくボーカル。
そのサウンドは、形容詞に収斂不可能な独創性で構築されており、「ロック」の歴史的な進化を独自の論理で仮想的に再現させたかのようである。その佇まい、そしてそのワイルドなリズムのあり方は、とにかく「ゴルい」。
そのあり方に共鳴したGORGEのトラックメーカーがアルバム『Flaming Psychic Heads』をリミックスしたのがこのアルバムである。
歴史的なミッシング・リンクとしてあり得たかもしれない「ゴルジェ・ロック」が目の前に現れたかのようなこのサウンドは、このコラボレーションでしか成立しない独自のロジカルでエモーショナルな美しさを持つ。

The music of the album Zealandia speaks the language of longing. It is about the eighth continent, on whose back lie the islands of New Zealand, among others. This album is very, very quiet and that’s the way it should be. It was recorded in March 2020 using only a memotron.

Slow Children & Area – Zima E.P.
[tonAtom.141]
Slow Children & Area
“Zima E.P.”
chicago, in the middle of deepest winter. snow covered. at this time of year, the title track of this e.p. was created as a collaboration between slow children (whom we welcome as a new artist) and area (most recently in 2009 on “objet trouvé” [tonatom.103]).
“zima” means winter and this is reflected in the meandering, powerful, deep, ambient opener. five alternative interpretations of this work take up different aspects in a new way, continue it with a new focus and complete this e.p. this is far from being a ” one original title and remixes” release, but rather presents six very different variations of a theme combined, which allows an attentive listening as one piece.

Various Artist
“Quintessence”
In July 2015 a new electronic music label was born in Brazil. Amidst the rise of many new talents in need of space to show their work, Tropical Twista Records started with the idea to give voice to these brilliant artists, from Brazil and the rest of the world.
Five years later, the label stays true to the mission of releasing new and interesting people, spotlighting Brazilian and South American artists. Beyond that, TTR feeds the underground electronic music scene, encouraging and sharing its music in a broad and accessible way.
“Quintessence” is the closure of this first 5 year cycle: we gathered all elements of the previous years to give birth to a new energy, expansive, dynamic, long lasting and capable of creating new ideas, breaking paradigms every time.
We brought together these 15 artists in this compilation to once again solidify our intention and our commitment with the underground electronic music, experimental and avant-garde, Tropical Twista’s trademark.

Fm Outt – Incomplete Kisses
[ST018]
Fm Outt
“Incomplete Kisses”
Fm Outt is a romantic and a futuristic alter ego with a focus on the beautiful and the good of sadness.
This is music without reference to genre orientation, a rhythm cataloged or its complete absence.
Fm Outt try to write music from images, music for storytelling, music to reflect a calm environment.
He is inspired by his family. Watching his wife walk around the room, his daughter does her homework quietly and his son plays-I he makes compositions based on those feelings and moments, that is his inspiration.
He is inspired by the silence or lack of it.
He learned one simple thing from some people:
Everything is Sound…
Music is all around us the music is allways within us…

Hola Papa – Too Far with my Crazy Loser girl
[pn161]
Hola Papa
“Too Far with my Crazy Loser girl”
Hola Papá, experimental electronica project by chilean artist Valentina Mardones, presents “Too Far with my Crazy Loser girl”, a record comprising 5 tracks: 2 studio works (“201X” y “Round About Midnight Stairs”), and three live takes (“Muelle Fracaso”, “Miradores Fracaso” y “Loser Heart under Water”). Coming from an avant-jazz-rock background, as MediaBanda lead singer from 2014 to 2018, her approach towards baffling, chaotic soundings in this solo work are extremely interesting.
Crossing unsteady pulses and rhythms with brittle melodies, her compositions are an invitation to keep our minds on the complex atmospheres she weaves and knits, sometimes looking for a break taking us to extreme noise, some other times descending towards peaceful melodic states – all of this can be found in this landscape.
This new Hola Papá work is a landmark in Pueblo Nuevo catalog. Her creative and sonic freedom statement allows us to keep exploring more complex music realms, going beyond the expected, taking risks and proposing new sound perspectives, using everything at hand, either the voice of one’s own, a Turin church bells recording, or a Microkorg synth, anything goes – but, most of all, the boldness to break rules and standards.

Piece Of Acid – Acid Flowers EP
[DigitalDiamonds076]
Piece Of Acid
“Acid Flowers EP”
Acid Flowers EP is the debut release by the German co-founder of Digital Diamonds and one half of Alic, Piece Of Acid. The driving concept behind the project is based on Roland’s renowned bass synthesizer from the ’80s, called the TB-303, after its unique sound and warm timbre. This gives the EP a retro, acid techno vibe complemented by analog sounds and clear-cut production. However, there’s a refreshing visionary, psychedelic approach in the textures and sound design, using insect-like and glitch effects. On top of that, it has ear-catching ideas that make the tracks not only dance floor gems but well-composed songs. We foresee a promising future for this budding project.

“Access Frame: Equity”
Kamizdat is proud to present a 2020 Netlabel Day release.
Access Frame: Equity is a compilation of 20 local electronic artists with many original works that span a wide spectrum of electronic music genres: from noise and sonic art, via bass, breaks, all the way to acid techno. The concept of the compilation is to bring attention to the conflict between necessity of free culture and enclosure of culture by copyright law. The conflict which is temporarily solved by Creative Commons licences.
Access Frame is a series of compilations of adventurous music published by Kamizdat under a Creative Commons licence on 14. July – International Netlabel Day. It tries to establish a practice of thinking critically about access to, and distribution of, art. It poses a question: what is the frame through which we are allowed, and able, to access culture? How is it created, by whom, and can such frame of access be modified and transgressed?

MIOPEC – Wet Desert
[pn160]
MIOPEC
“Wet Desert”
This album is a real treasure: produced from 2005 to 2010 and distributed via CD in underground networks, it has been finally unearthed ten years later via a Pueblo Nuevo remastered version.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Chilean musician and producer Marcelo Peña C. (Miopec, Tobías Alcayota, MKRNI, VAN, among others), “Wet Desert” presents an harmonic experimental blending of digital programming, midi sequences and analog samples. Sounds reminiscing ethnographic recordings mixed with experimentation in rhythms, turning into uncanny soundscapes, are turning points on the album. Complex programming and melodies suggesting psychedelic analog keyboards, are also present a-plenty, as a recurring feature in Miopec‘s extensive musical output.
“Wet Desert” is an intimate, auteur album I’ve been listening to for years. It is also twofold: on the one hand, it sounds very well outdoors, played loud, mostly in isolated landscapes, coming together with the environment. On the other hand, considering Miopec’s experience in production and mixing, it is also a pleasant listening experience with headphones, constantly discovering new sounds and arrangements. A reminder that electronica’s usually dry colors can also present reflective, enlightened, and, mostly, liquid moments.

“The Dark Side Of The Wonderland”
The necrophile hummingbird & Hamfuggi Records present a marvellous journey on the Dark Side Of Wonderland by Mescalibur.
Alice trip has been revisited many time, from the Jan Švankmajer’s Alice to the Jeff Noon’s Vurt… it’s always very psychedelic… but this time it’s the dark side… then perhaps the rabbit hole is actually more looking like Norman Spinrad LSD description in The Mind Game… you know like watching inside a bubble with the whole surface made in mirror. Some call also this kind of bubble a Eye Ball. I don’t know where you are know but take care, next to listen this, perhaps you will think that you are still in the same dimension… but I really don’t know… Sometime things are not what they seems. I wouldn’t spoil the end of your travel.
Mescalibur is here http://mescalibur.fr/ perhaps… the only one who knows that kind of answers.

Following a couple of challenging years filled with loss and injury, Zakrin brings to bear the tools of experience required to convey the ebb and flow of life- from the light hearted Italo arcade anthem “Burgertime” to the scowling, fuck all anarchism of “Storm the Ramparts”, Zakrin delivers a 12 track ride through a sonic environment that will move you physically and emotionally.
