After hours grooving at the parties that never stop
01. Fatima Yamaha – What’s A Girl To Do
Music sometimes has the ability to trigger a feeling of recognition, or sometimes it even brings back very specific memories. It kinda feels like coming home to a place where you’ve lived for many years.
02. Khidja – Racheta El Fadaa
Khidja in a more calming mood reminiscent of Art of Noise, though the kick and bass ensure there is plenty of rhythmic emphasis.
03. Red Axes, Abrro – Waiting For A Surprise
Israeli duo Red Axes hmm superfluous words
04. Sinchi Music – Aether Drift (Gemini Brothers remix)
Sinchi Collective bringing a new musical idea without always being in a strict genre of music. And when join Gemini Brothers you don’t have double vision, they really are twins. Incredible music full of freaky sounds and beats.
05. FLVN – Orasol fate
Darker industrial side of disco, psychedelic electronica and techno. Brings you to other side of darkness.
06. Tolouse Low Trax – Rushing Into Water
Special rhythms of drums, something mystic . Makes you high.
07. Front de Cadeaux – Le PEDé BPM (Fabrizio Mammarella Remix)
Front de Cadeaux means slow BPM tracks with druggy beats and dubby bass.
08. Moscoman – Akachi
Flying pad takes you so high, and african rhythms makes you to behave appropriately.
09. Ess O Ess – Re Enter (Man Power Remix)
This track is very special for me. First time I heard this track in Berlin. Good memories. Listen your yourself, and have a good trip.
10. Freudenthal – Occult Peregrination
A pilgrimage to the occulted arts, “as broody mystic beats and clarion calls holler to Nefertiti and Aten”
Acclaimed Amsterdam based label Night Noise Music welcomes Georgian artist Ujin Ray for an excellent new EP that comes with remixes from MiddleSkyBoom and William Earl.
Ujin has come up through the ranks on his local scene and has proven himself as a DJ and collector with great taste. Now based in Berlin he is creating a wealth of new sounds in the studio and the first fruits of his labours are showcased on this great debut EP. It finds the man sampling drums off random disco and electro records from the 70s and 80s as well as laying down his own ideas with various analogue synths, VSTs and plugins. Inspired by his surroundings and “the freedom Berlin gives to an artist” it is a fine way to launch your production career.
Opening up this magical EP is ‘Ritual’, a spooky, dead of night slo-mo cut that is spacious and eerie, with wooden drums growing increasingly turbulent as alien synth sounds place you in the middle of some far off galaxy. It’s expertly arranged and masterfully balanced to make a very real impact in any cultured DJ set.
Then comes ‘Flying Horse’ which is a perfectly reduced, deep, dubby cut that wallows and mourns something truly striking. The rubber drums and subtle shakers glide along as pained pads unfold and really permeate your mind, body and soul.
Remixing ‘Ritual’ is Israel’s MiddleSkyBoom, who makes cosmic, richly analogue sounds on labels like Eskimo and Days of Being Wild. His version is a perfectly tripped out and synthetic one where harmonic bell sounds, muttered vocals, colourful melodies and tinkling keys all make for magical, playful listening as a fat bassline underpins the whole chugging groove. The fast rising William Earl then turns out his take on ‘Flying Horse.’ Serene and classy, it is a richly detailed track that travels through the cosmos with lush synths and moving melodies extending out in all directions.
Recent releases on this label have been supported by the likes of DJ Mag, BBC 6 Music and Ransom Note as well as a selection of key DJs, and this new one is only likely to be just as well received.
Ujin Ray – Ritual EP (Night Noise Music) Release: 29th Feb 2016 (Juno), 7th March 2016 Cat. No. NNM007
