George T and Mairi ‘B’ Pots return with a new single on Paradise Palms

Acidic, percussive, hypnotic vocal belter from George T and Mairi ‘B’ Pots as Accident Machine on the ever-reliable Paradise Palms.

There once was a contraption so keen, Called the “Accident Machine” – quite obscene!

With a premiere most bright, It caused such delight,

In a real dream scene rarely seen!

The paradise palms stood nearby, As the machine let out quite a sigh.

“I manufacture mishaps! And wonderful scraps!

Of nonsensical things from the sky!”

It whirred and it clanked with a boom, Filling all of the scene with perfume.

Not the fragrant kind, no! But a strange psychic glow,

That transported you straight from your room!

Oh, real dreams it made by the score, Each one stranger than those made before.

In paradise lands, Built by mechanical hands,

What accidents could you ask for more?

Music To Watch Seeds Grow By welcome Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary artist, E Ruscha V to the Seeds family, with a release for the Cosmos.

There once was a fellow named Eddie Ruscha V, Who lived in a garden extraordinarily,

He spent all his days reaching up to the sky, For Music To Watch Seeds Grow By.

His fingers were leafy like ferns in the spring, His hair tangled vines where the nightingales sing,

“O fumblesome, tumblesome, root-tappity-high!” He sang as the seedlings grew nigh.

The Cosmos flowers danced in their purple and pink, With petals that shimmer and stems that could think,

“Dear Eddie,” they whispered through pollen and dew, “Play something delightfully new!”

His orchestra bloomed from the rich fertile ground, Daffodils trumpeted, making a brassy sound,

While Cosmos conducted with star-patterned faces, Their petals like musical braces.

Said Eddie Ruscha V with infinite glee, “My botanical symphony’s the key, don’t you see? The reaching and teaching and beseeching I try, Makes Music To Watch Seeds Grow By!”

When visitors came from the land of Dahloon, They’d waltz with the Cosmos beneath the full moon,

While Eddie played tunes on his hollyhock-flute, That made even cactuses root.

O! Eddie Ruscha V of gardening renown, With Cosmos flowers crowning his vegetable crown,

May your reaching continue through soil and loam, With plants dancing right through your home!

Cosmos follows a path that Ruscha began exploring with his 2018 release, “Who Are You”, on Beats In Space and continued through recent works like ‘Green Mirror’ under his alias Secret Circuit and ambient pieces for the “Slow Show” performances. Each project has been a cultivation season that invites listeners to pause, observe, and connect with cycles of natural emergence.

Cosmos is dropping at the end of March. Here’s a premiere for ‘Reaching Up’, available to pre-order on Bandcamp now.

Ransom Note Records are over the moon to welcome illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub to the fold for the debut 12” vinyl release with us, Tears Maker Chant. Head honchos of the wonderful Delodio label, Stéphane and François, mark the 50th release for R$N Recs, and this is without a shadow of a doubt an incredibly special one for us. So, sit back and ready yourself for some inimitable Froid Dub cuts; laid back but pounding, graceful yet aggressive but above all, thoroughly danceable.

First single On The Nose enters next, with a delightfully soft, round bass that feels like bouncing around a padded room. Inside a Zorb. On MDMA. More echoed, analogue motifs dart from left to right, confirming with strong conviction that our chaps from Paris put the Dub in Indubitably Fantastic.

Amine Laje is a multi faceted producer. In fact you might better know him as Romain Poncet or Traumer...

Under this new moniker he is keen to explore some of his foremost influences, drawing upon inspiration from the heady days of Trip-Hop and channeling his production credentials into a new sound.

For his first-ever published mix as Amine Laje, Romain Poncet crafts a deeply immersive journey through jazz-infused beats, melancholic textures, and raw, intuitive soundscapes.

The mix showcases a lot of unreleased songs that were created for the restaurant Datsha in Paris, alongside some tracks from the eponymous album.

Best enjoyed in a cozy setting, with warm lighting—let yourself get lost in the sound.

This one goes deep.

The river was flowing rapidly. The rain from the night before had meant that there was little room for error as they floated on down through the rushing water. The noise was bellowing all around and the rough smacking of waves against the boat was almost frightening at times.

They could see the dense greenery of the jungle all around them on either side as they careered down the rapids, narrowly avoiding the rocks and the dense fog of white as the water surged beneath them.

The sun beamed down from above upon the expedition.

It was hard to tell where they were anymore...

Cafe de la Jungle has become well known for his eclectic take on percussive electronic music which sees him experiment with rhythm and structure in innovative ways. His music is intelligent and hypnotic often leaving you quizzical of its whereabouts or direction - we say this in the best way.

This new record on QEONE is special. A true heads down, lock in affair.

The skies began to open up once more as the darkness began to shrink and fade away. It left behind a clear day, one in which they could gaze out upon the landscape which had been concealed and hidden beneath fog and despair for far too long.

The meadows were green once more, the radiance of the sunlight illuminating their emerald glaze with vigour and elegance.

There was something restorative about it all – as if some sort of strange magic had been cast to herald in the dawn of a new day in all its grace and might.

Wandering through the tall reeds, she watched as she took in a world which had been barren for far too long.

Mysterious duo Advent Children are remixed by another as Salamanda reimagine the sound of ‘Restoration Meadows’ creating an ethereal dreamy soundscape which offers promise for the birth of a new enlightened world.

There was change in the air, some sort of strange shift.

The tone of the evening had become ominous and menacing as the lights flickered and flashed beneath the bridge. Cars went past oblivious to the crowd who had gathered upon the bridge to watch the race unfold. In the distance the sound of engines could be heard from up on the hillside.

Plastic egos were aplenty, fragile yet furious in equal measure.

Soon everything would be dark but for the headlights careering through the darkness. They'd watch from overhead as they drove strikingly beneath - onwards and into the black.

Trip The Light originated in Manchester but is now based in Berlin, the collective, come partym come label have been at the forefront of a new wave of bass music which challenges the preconceptions of the genre and this new release from one of their residents Akïi cements that.

The bubbles drifted across the room as the crowd of people watched them rise into the great beyond and disappear. There was something fascinating about the way in which they floated and danced effortlessly upon the breeze.

From time to time they'd catch an effervescent glow beneath the sunbeams which coursed in through the windows illuminating what would otherwise be darkness.

Then they would simply pop.

It was as if they had never been there, much like a thought or a memory or a dream. They simply came and went.

Igaxx releases a new EP on Third Place Records, the label run and championed by Will Hofbauer. This one features a delicate assortment of downtempo electronics with this track in particular reminding us of the acid infused balearic era of the 90's.

The night was young but there was a fever and an energy in the air. It was tense and palpable.

The weekend was fast approaching, the release from the day to day struggles of the working week would be euphoric and fuelled by decadent dancing in dark rooms where smoke hung thick and people mingled beneath the glow of a rich, warm red light.

Things weren't so bad after all. He was feeling alright.

As he entered the club he took off his coat, placed it promptly upon the old leather chair perched in the corner of the room and joined the throb of people on the dancefloor.

He shuffled a little. He was moving.

Keita Sano teams up with Sauce81 for a dynamic collaboration which reminds us why dance music is fun. Disco tinged energy, not too fast and within enough funk to keep things bumping for a while.

German electronic music producer Daniel Herrmann, better known as Flug 8, announces his fourth album on Ransom Note Records with new single, Biotech - a minimalist electronic meditation on societal contradictions created during the pandemic era.
