Ransom Note

Sebastien Bouchet has a penchant for intricacy and detail. It is present in subtle delicacy throughout his production, his music as much about mood and environment as it is for the dancefloor. The Frenchman has amassed a reputation for releasing tactfully crafted music on the likes of Kompakt, Hippie Dance, Hypercolour and more. His appearances prevalent and each release enlightening in its own sense.

In the coming months he will release music on Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant and Kompakt under a brand new guise of Sebastopol. In honour of this we felt it to be fair that he had the chance to demonstrate his new alias through a contribution to the Ransom Note mix series, which he has kindly done below.

Marionette amassed interest straight from the off. The record label, which was founded in 2013, hasn't conformed to traditional aesthetics or functionality of sound. Each release has been eclectic, forward thinking and conceptual in both style and formation. To date the label has released music by Deer, Laurine Frost, Maxim Wolzyn and most recently by Kilchhofer. The latter of which is the next to contribute to our slightly more abstract Wednesday mix series.

There is little back story or information surrounding the man. His website features a minimalist assortment of drawings, sounds and obscurities. His contribution to our mix series sees him arrange a series of mystical soundscapes, stuttering percussion and disorientated earthly audio from beyond expectations.

Experimentation within sound is endless. One such artist whom has continued to defy the boundaries of audio and sculpture is Heinali, a Ukranian based musician whom has been creatively constructing ambient soundcsapes for many years. He has worked on a variety of projects having produced soundtracks for visual artists, videogames and even poets. His sound is spectacularly experimental, at times grand yet others minimal.

Heinali often plays and appears live using electroacoustic improvisation and layered analogue sequencing.

We caught up with him as he delivers a rather special edition of our Monday ambient series.

When it comes to record labels there are very few who can contest the continual relevance of Sonic Cathedral. Born and bred from the depths of obscure club nights they since evolved into one of the most engaging and individual record labels in the UK. Never one for hype or over exuberance they have steadily released music since 2006 and continue to move forwards.

The latest project to emerge from the record label is a new club night called 'Ambience Chasers'. The evening will take place monthly in London and will focus on the more obscure elements amidst electronic music. Expect soundscapes, drone music and ambient bliss.

In recent years there has been an interesting emergence of up and coming artists from France. Folamour is one such producer who is very much at the forefront of this charge.

His soulful take on deep house and wide ranging influences have made him a stand out figure amidst the scene and with frequent productions and the recent launch of his record label it seemed like the perfect time to invite him to contribute to our beloved Ransom Note mix series. We caught up with him to talk as he delivers a gorgeous hour of music

The history of electronic music is littered with a collection of big names and stars that the media portray as crucial figures in the development of dance culture. But, for every one of these lauded figures, hundreds of more talented and more dedicated players are working day and night at the coalface providing an arguably more important contribution.

Josh Doherty and Rich Bevan, AKA Posthuman, are the epitome of these coalface workers. With a career dating back to the mid-90s, Josh and Rich have released countless records, put on countless parties and run numerous labels but all without any hint of jumping on bandwagons. In 2007 the pair created the I Love Acid parties which later became a label of the same name. With both of these going from strength to strength, we felt like it was the perfect time to catch up with Josh do discuss all things Posthuman.
