YKYK.VA – 5 Little Treasures From The North {YKYK012}

Artist: YKYK.VA
Title:
5 Little Treasures From The North
Label:
 Yuki Yaki
Catalog #:
YKYK012
Release Date:
2007/10/04


Yuki Yaki’s 12th strike is a visit of some friends from Denmark bringing with them a small but precious assortment of local Electronica delights.
Having almost ridden out half a decade Rump Recordings has become the most popular stronghold of experimental electronic music in Denmark. And now a band of five fine artists has pledged its contribution for one of our releases: Minimalistic rhythm patterns in slow motion and restrained melodies wrapped in an envelope of startling clicks and sizzling noises.
It’s a mesmerizing kind of unpretentious minimalism and rough authenticity that keeps the tracks of Bjorn Svin, Badun, Acustic, Rumpistol and Karsten Pflum on a common suspense curve as if they were not made as single tracks but as a joint piece of art that could last for much longer than just those five tracks.


Tracklist:
01 – Bjorn Svin – Opening Flower [MP3] [OGG]
02 – Badun – Nick [MP3] [OGG]
03 – Acustic – Steamship Ocean [MP3] [OGG]
04 – Rumpistol – Plutonium2 [MP3] [OGG]
05 – Karsten Pflum – Wide Shot [MP3] [OGG]

V.A. – Pantoufle Tagada {pj001}

Artist: V.A.
Title:
Pantoufle Tagada
Label:
 Petite&Jolie
Catalog #:
pj001
Release Date:
2007/09/19


As said on the website, it’s been a moment we were thinking about it.
The definition of petite&jolie is clearly in the title, we want to set a cosy place for cute music.

We’ve been taking our time to contact artists we appreciated to be sure to deliver some lovely tunes that would definitly give the artistic line of this netlabel.

So here we are with our first release named “Pantoufle Tagada”, a nice launching compilation for the sake of cuteness

The cuteness will transport you on a pony ride from Purusha’s (Ogredung) progtoytronica to papercutz’s (Apegenine) childtronica, from Doroasako’s progressive folktronica to El zoológico’s pizzicato , passing by Original Recipe’s (Vinyl Republik) fresh pianopop to kaneel’s (Camomille, Ogredung) “joie de vivre” glitchtronics, vim’s (Monotonik) spring melodies to fah’s (Ronin) analog cute-acid without forgetting surasshu’s (Apegenine, Camomille) electro music with video game gimmicks while balùn people (Aerotone) are coming up with their cutey electropop and dot tape dot (spar.RK, NatureBliss) rejoins with his toy harp and trumpet experiments. In the meantime, makunouchi bento (Camomille, Ogredung, One) will delight your ears during a sweet and tender music box interlude for your christmas parties while Nej will come up with some sweet electropop and treacle (BEE Records) will bring back the groove to some cutetronica.

this compilation will act like the exact time-travel machine you needed to bring you back some childhood reminiscences, so we hope you’ll enjoy this 55 minutes long launching compilation as much as we enjoyed setting this all up.

01 – PurushaRabirabi

V/A – Histeresis {[FILTRO.020]}

Artist: V/A
Title:
Histeresis
Label:
 Filtro
Catalog #:
[FILTRO.020]
Release Date:
2007/05/28


Nuestro lanzamiento número veinte es similar al primero: plantea una panorámica del estado de las cosas en la electrónica minimalista y glitchy. Histéresis es una trayectoria trazada desde planteamientos intimistas y atmosféricos hasta llegar a beats urbanos, sin dejar de flirtear por momentos con un dancefloor alternativo, con la participación de doce artistas de México, Chile, Japón y Estados Unidos.

We have come to our 20th release in a similar way as in our beginning like a label: establishing a panoramic view of things in minimalistic and glitchy electronics produced in an independent context. Histeresis is a drawn trajectory framing intimist and atmospheric set ups to urban beats, flirting in some moments with an alternative dance floor. Twelve artists from México, Chile, Japan and USA are represented here.

Llegamos a nuestro lanzamiento número veinte de una manera parecida a nuestro inicio como sello: planteando una panorámica del estado de las cosas en la electrónica minimalista y glitchy producida de manera independiente. El tiempo ha pasado, y en esta música, algunos recursos sonoros que fueron fines, ahora son medios. Histéresis es una trayectoria trazada desde planteamientos intimistas y atmosféricos hasta llegar a beats urbanos, sin dejar de flirtear por momentos con un dancefloor alternativo.

El disco arranca con los susurros postdigitales de “Ella hablaba en RGB”, de El Lazo Invisible: …”ella solo hablaba RGB, a tres canales, frente a un monitor continuamente disponible. -Tus opciones son 3-, me decía, la mañana es un lindo vector de color”… En un continuo que parece darse de manera natural, Meiker colorea de atardecer el camino con “Naranja (That Nostalgic Feeling)” para llegar a la textura sónica de los últimos pensamientos del día con “Sinking downwards in dire ruin (f.ss)” de Bifidus, quien continúa asignándole un sonido al estado intermedio entre el sueño y la vigía. Insecto, desde Chile, nos pone en “Miternu” dentro una arena compleja llena de colapsos rítmicos, texturas y melodías microscópicas.

Rivel, con “Back Again” nos ha dado uno de sus mejores tracks: un jardín dubby submarino de senderos que se bifurcan al unísono dentro de su propia lógica. “Dodecafucked” de Subnor es ese idm cinematográfico que construye un cortometraje imaginario con el timing perfecto. Emmerichk en “Maquiventa”, forma también una verdadera narrativa de aires contemplativos y complejidades en tránsito constante hacia nuevas formas. “Photon”, de Absolut Time es una pieza que busca alejarse del minimal tal como lo conocemos hoy en día y nos hace suspirar un poco por los noventa. Antiguo Autómata Mexicano en “Bad Japanese Movie” nos coloca en medio de un cluster de texturas que sirve de camuflaje a ritmos que fluyen por debajo de un denso entramado residual. Zofa, en “Cycles” hace gala de su habilidad para dejarnos en medio de un campo de tensiones irresolutas que inquietan al oído.

El fin de Histéresis se aproxima con nuestros amigos chilenos de Manziping, “Despuésde usted señor” esconde, detrás de su título amable, una tormenta de beats, asaltos de bajo y problemas con la recepción de una señal de radio, todo esto tendido sobre una atmósfera que al igual que ciertas variaciones climáticas, parece avisarnos sutilmente sobre lo que se aproxima desde el inicio. Kampión, el hombre que le ha dado la vuelta de tuerca más reciente al hip hop en México, cierra con Dreamy Snapshot, una impresionante colaboración entre MC Domer y el campeón del hip hop digitalmente corrompido.

Filtro está de vuelta.

We have come to our 20th release in a similar way as in our beginning like a label: establishing a panoramic view of things in minimalistic and glitchy electronics produced in an independent context. Histeresis is a drawn trajectory framing intimist and atmospheric set ups to urban beats, flirting in some moments with an alternative dance floor.

Our Release begins with the post digital whisperings from “Ella hablaba en RGB”, of El Lazo Invisible:..”she only speaks RGB, in 3 channels, infront of a screen continuosly available.-You have 3 options –she used to tell me, morning is a nice colourfull vector”.. Like a natural flow, Meiker paints this release with the colors of a warm evening with his track “Naranja (That Nostalgic Feeling)”. We arribe to last thoughts of the day sonic textures with “Sinking downwards in dire ruin (f.ss)” a Bifidus’ track that like his previous work, gives a sound to that state between being awake and being asleep. Insecto from Chile, situate us inside an arena where rhythmic collapses, textures and microscopic melodies clash between themselves.

Rivel, with “Back again” gave us one of his best tracks to date: an undersea dubby garden with paths that bifurcates at unison into his own very logic. “Dodecafuced” by Subnor is a very cinematographic IDM that constructs an imaginary short-film with perfect timing. Emmerichk with “Maquiventa” also forms a narrative with true contemplative thoughts in constant transitions to new forms. AAM with “Bad japanese movie” place us in the middle of a cluster of textures that works as a camouflage to rhythms floating under a dense residual scheme. zofa in cycles makes display of his ability to leave us in the middle of a field of unsolved tensions that unease the listener. “Photon” by Absolute time is a piece that searches getting away from the minimal as we know it and make us sigh a little bit for the nineties.

Histéresis nearly finishes with Manziping, our friends from Chile. “Después de usted señor” hides within its gentle title a store formed with beats, bass assaults and some problems with catching a radio signal, all of this over an atmosphere which, like some climatic variations, warns us from things to come. Kampión, the man that has changad the FACE of mexican hip hop forever, closes with “Dreamy Snapshot” an impressive collaboration between MC Domer and digitally corrupted hip hop champion.

Filtro is back!

Various Artists – A Beginning of an End {CANDY035}

Artist: Various Artists
Title:
A Beginning of an End
Label:
Candy Mind Records
Catalog #:
CANDY035
Release Date:
2007/04/09


This is the last Candy Mind release.

Ever.

Candy Mind has been bought (for a half-decent amount of money) by swedish net-label Subnatura; who has decided to close down Candy Mind for good due to competitive issues.

However, since the Candy Mind crew is made of energy, and energy is subject to a strict global conservation law (that is, it can neither be created nor destroyed), the Candy Mind spirit will (in some way and form) live on. And blablabla.

Here are our last tracks. Enjoy!

Goodbye!

01. BEST FWENDS – SK8 OR LIVE (GOTO80 REMISS)
Best Fwends loves to skate…and when they are not skating, together with Goto80 (who is wearing his special skating hat, of course), they usually sing about the art of skating. This is an example of the skateor-sing phenomenon.

02. LIQUID STRANGER – I AND I
The letter I is the ninth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its English name is pronounced [a?]. Liquid strangers song is about this letter not only one, but 2 (two!) times! The dot over the lowercase ‘i’ is sometimes called a tittle. In the Turkish alphabet, dotted and dotless I are considered separate letters and both have uppercase (I, I) and lowercase (i, i) forms. This song does not, however, cover such (more advanced) topics.

03. DOROTHY`S MAGIC BAG – PICASSOS PENIS
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (October 25, 1881 – April 8, 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor. His full name is Pablo Diego José Santiago Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispín Crispiniano de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Blasco y Picasso. One of the most recognized figures in 20th century art, he is best known as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism. This song is about picassos penis.

04. PSILODUMP – ROUTINE E OF THE NO-BOTS
Just because the Bot Exclusion Standard been overlooked doesn’t mean it’s insignificant. As its name suggests, the Bot Exclusion Standard was created to govern robots, and to feed their pets. Psilodump is one of the pets, and is giving us his own (unique) point of view on the subject.

05. PAZA RAHM – OCH HON SA (CYNKOT GRUPPA REMIX)
And she said… she said what?!?

06. LITHIS – THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MEANINGFUL CONTEXT
Is creating a meaningful context for learning object reuse any different from creating a meaningful context for reusing other educational materials, like book chapters or research articles? Ask Lithis; he knows.

07. GOTO80 – JAHMAHA BUGGDUB
Robert Malone Bugg was an American politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives for Tennessee’s 7th congressional district. Goto80 is giving us his own, a bit controversial, version of what really happened to this man.
