The Substance

Producteur de disques, Dj, superviseur musical et propriétaire du label : Antoine Harispuru alias Golden Bug n'est rien de moins qu'un véritable artiste incroyablement polyvalent ; délivrant toujours d'excellents niveaux de house et d'electronica teintés de disco depuis dix ans sur des labels comme La Belle, Les Disques de la Mort, Höga Nord, Gomma, Multi Culti et Kompakt. 6 ans après V.I.C.T.O.R, Golden Bug signe son retour sur La Belle avec PISCOLABIS. Un 4ème album sensoriel, universel, envoutant, parfois indescriptible mais unique. L'album embrasse tous les styles chers à Antoine Harispuru et surgit comme une ouverture étonnante sur de nouveaux mondes, oscillant entre electronica, vibrations robotiques et dub psychédélique. Et si il a convié un nombre impressionnant d’invités ; les Français The Limiñanas et Tim Glass, la japonaise Vega Voga aka Narumi Herisson, les Australiens Funboys, l’Espagnol Pajaro Sunrise, c’est parce que ce projet est né de l’ébullition que provoquent les oppositions. De l'hypnotique ascension introductrice Colibri aux motifs rocks / acid western Variation sur 3 Bancs, Tokoyo No Kuni en passant par les obsessionnels et cosmiques dubs Nid de Guêpes, Fata Morgana, Golden Bug mélange les genres sans les dénaturer. Il explore mais ne se perd jamais comme avec La Boite Noire et son electronica berlinoise chloroformée, les guitares orientales du solaire Bring the Light, sans oublier ce final maestro Le Chant des Sirènes; envoutante et opératique pop nébuleuse qui s'acoquine à la voix angélique et lyrique de Tim Glass. Une musique à écouter, à voir et à ressentir.

SLEAFORD MODSDivide & Exit (reissue)Extreme Eating

Reissue of Decadance "On And On (Fears Keep On)", one of the most iconic underground Italo-wave tracks ever."Permeated by dark a eerie synths, a perfectly programed Roland TR-808 and outstanding analog production, "On and On (Fears Keep On)" belongs to what we like to define "dark italo disco" or "italo wave". There's an extra touch of cosmic / interstellar feeling, sharing the same vibe (and the same synthetic hardware) of "Spacer Woman". Not a intergalactic travel this time, but the wait for somebody to come from the sky. "

Jacobus Derwort started exploring sonic soundscapes listening to his short-wave world receiver at the age of 12. There he would hear music from Africa, China, Japan, Indonesia, South America and beyond. He started playing guitar, piano, percussion and saxophone.He met Hanyo van Oosterom in 1978 and they started the legendary cult rock band, 'The Jones'. Derwort was playing the sax, van Oosterom the drums. They started conducting sound experiments in Hanyo’s small cellar in the Dutch village of Krimpen aan den IJssel.In the early eighties they made their first cassette, 'The Kallikatsou'. Hanyo started the ambient collective CHI in 1983. Jacobus was the first musician to join CHI. Together, they went to the magic rock “The Kallikatsou” on the island of Patmos, Greece. Here, Hanyo had stayed for months in a cave for some deep soul-searching. He heard the sound of CHI in the silence of the night like a message from out of space. Being together at the Kallikatsou they shaped the foundation of CHI, making handmade flutes from local bamboo and conducting field recordings ofwater, crickets, owls, goats, wind, etc...Back home they asked Willem Cramer to join CHI, and later Michel Banabila. They released a legendary ambient cassette, 'The Original Recordings', in 1983 which soon became a collectors item. CHI stopped in 1987 (and still now nobody knows exactly why). Willem Cramer and Michel Banabila started the world music collective 'East Meets West' in 1989. Hanyo and Jacobus kept recording ambient soundscapes.Jacobus was working on his 'Bamboo' recordings. Hanyo recorded the first tracks for 'The Kallikatsou Experience'. Neither album was ever released. They returned a few times together to The Kallikatsou, but there the history seems to end...…until decades later when Astral Industries located them after a long search, inspired by Rod Modell (Deepchord). The result was the vinyl release of CHI – The Original Recordings in February 2016. The album received great reviews and sold out in a few weeks.This inspired Hanyo and Jacobus to work on an old plan: remixing the old bamboo recordings. Most tracks were made in the eighties before and after CHI. Original tape recordings using mainly analogue sounds, percussion, samples and (of course)bamboo flutes and manipulated clarinets. Hanyo added some new recordings and remixed the old tapes in his Numoonlab Studio in Rotterdam. The result was 'The Bamboo Recordings', a timeless collection of ambient soundscapes.THE CHI FACTORY is the next step of CHI into the future. It will involve many future ambient collaborations. The next release will be 'The Kallikatsou Recordings'(Astral Industries 2016 TBA). Also bringing back the original line-up of CHI for new recordings is part of the plan. Who knows what may happen next.The Bamboo Recordings have been produced and remixed by Hanyo vanOosterom. Original recordings by Jacobus Derwort.Jacobus Derwort: bamboo flutes, clarinet, guitar, samples, loops, saxophone,percussion, field recordings.Hanyo van Oosterom: piano, bass, guitar, percussion, flute, samples and drones.The Bamboo Recordings contain voice samples from around the world,including Tibetan monks, Sufi chanting, a Hopi elder, a Hopi woman, Fulani storytellers, a Japanese girl singing, Spanish and Greek children, excerpts from Gratitude For The Gaze by Nikos Eliou and much more...

Space and Awareness is the debut release on Tonight’s Dream Records, a record label and mix series based in Brighton UK, focusing on forward thinking, unique music within the realms of ambient, downtempo and electronica.Space and Awareness is the eighth album from Inhmost, the alias of producer Simon Huxtable. With over 24 years experience Huxtable has released a huge array of music. However, now Huxtable uses Inhmost to serve up deep immersive ambient and downtempo music. Space and Awareness is filled with deep baselines and downtempo breaks that are perfectly balanced with the atmospheric ambient textures making it a thoroughly engaging listen.In the producers words “Space & Awareness was made at a time when I felt particularly conscious and receptive of the space around me and I wanted to create an atmosphere that reflected this organically. A mixed approach of using analogue and digital hardware both in and out of the box along with captured field recordings was used to create a broad and changeable soundscape. I did not want this album to just be purely ambient so the use of downtempo beat structures and rhythms felt like a more appropriate way to convey the variety of emotions that I was feeling at the time.”The album has been mastered by prolific producer and mastering engineer Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio who has worked on albums for artists such as Juliana Barwick, Grouper, Steve Hauschildt, Loscil, Telefon Tel Aviv and Tycho amongst hundreds of others.
