Rhythm Baboon - Danzig In Da Ghetto EP


Release Date: 13.10.2014
Label: Polish Juke

One can hardly come across nowadays a music label striving to promote some form of sound- imagery and narration. Dance music – short, intense and pleasure-oriented – is usually limited to a simple model of noise, limiters and compression – tiny details disappear in the sea of overload and one-dimensional quality. The new 'Danzig In Da Ghetto' EP by Rhythm Baboon is breaking this flat and predictable surface of music reality adding to it new dimensions. 

Following the peaceful intro, ‘First In Your Heart’ reminds opening credits in a film – speeds up rapidly breaking into the mind with these mad keyboard sounds. Tension and anxiety break into the foreground – we are in an unspecified place exposed to some short-lasting flashes. ‘It’s Time To P’ presents the full soundscape panorama. We are in the distant future. There are no familiar points of reference. One can only hear a distorted robotic „voice”, pulsating sirens and synthesizer-like fraying of the new metropolis. ‘Ain’t No Dance’ transfers us exactly into the centre of the ghost-city. We can see randomly spread bits and pieces of the foregone technology – silicon and grapheme, the debris of something that reminds buildings covered with layers of new and completely unknown to us materials. Aggressively sounding messages can be heard everywhere – the ground is shaking from a low frequency thumping echo. ‘Danzig In Da Ghetto’ stretches out the final scene before us. In the huge post-industrial space, in the wall cracks, we can see some sick choreography of shapes, quasi-machines and hybrid silhouettes made up of the pieces of fallen civilizations. It all happens as if unintentionally, on the wave of temporary energetic affirmation resembling a post-apocalyptic dance macabre (Totentanz) which at some point just freezes into stillness and quietness. 

Rhythm Baboon has created a coherent and complete music whole in a very evocative and picturesque way. One can find here elements of industrial, the sounds of the electronics of the 90s, sometimes it refers to Nightmares on Wax („Aftermath”, „Biofeedback”). The apparent contradictions of the structure elements make up the power of the image (its density). This narrative futurism reverses the possible interpretation direction – paradoxically the music seems to compliment imagination generating spontaneous after-images (psychographs) and thus involuntarily becomes a dream score.

Tracklist:
1. First In Your Heart 03:48
2. It's Time To P 03:19
3. Ain't No Dance 04:16
4. Danzig In Da Ghetto 02:49

4Sight - Dendritic


Release Date: 17.10.2014
Label: Broken Bubble

Che Ramirez aka 4Sight grew up in a very musical household. Born in Ireland, now living in Philadelphia via San Francisco, his grandfather, the Latin-American composer Emilio Ramirez Garcia, instilled a lifelong musical passion throughout the family, with jazz, salsa, rock and classical being practised and performed around him from an early age as well as access to a wide variety of instruments. 

An eclectic taste developed naturally… “My daily digest of music when i was around 9 years old was Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Nine Inch Nails, DJ Shadow, Tool, Rachmaninoff, and Debussy among others” 

His passion for jazz took him to study at the University of the Arts in PA, and the seed of 4Sight’s musical identity were sewn when he began to combine his jazz guitar playing with inspirations from the LA beat scene, and Brainfeeder’s output in particular. 

“Rather than trying to make something that would be true to a tradition like jazz, it was almost like I had the ability to mould my own unique sound and mood. I felt as though i was channelling an ultra-creative part of my mind that I had never tapped into before. This creative pocket is what is fanned out over 7 tracks that make up the EP. It 's an embodiment of me branching out musically and artistically and taking what I know in different directions, hence the name Dendritic: Having a branched out form resembling a tree"

Tracklist:
1. WNDRLST 03:48
2. In Red (ft. Ari Michaels) 04:01
3. Spandrel 04:10
4. .74 00:50
5. October Sunflower 03:09
6. The Memories 04:44
7. Parallels 02:48

Pyskaty - Pit Stop EP


Release Date: 19.10.2014

"PitStop" EP to, udostępniony za darmo w sieci, materiał poprzedzający pełnoprawny, legalny album Pyskatego, nagrany w trakcie trwającej pół roku nieobecności rapera na scenie. Jest to zbiór 8 premierowych, nigdzie nie publikowanych wcześniej, utworów przygotowanych specjalnie na ten projekt. Jak mówi zresztą sam autor: "Ta EP'ka nie jest zbieraniną przypadkowych utworów, odrzutów czy remix'ów. Razem z ludźmi, którzy ze mną współpracowali, przygotowywałem ją jak normalny album i jako taki w sumie powinna być traktowana. Choć nie jest to jeszcze album docelowy, który chciałbym stworzyć, to jednak włożyłem sporo pracy w jego powstanie".

"PitStop" to zwarta klamrą, spójna EP'ka będąca odzwierciedleniem stanu umysłu artysty znajdującego się na rozdrożu. To swoisty emocjonalny melanż, będący przejawem polaryzacji nagromadzonych od lat uczuć. Od zwątpienia po niezachwianą pewność siebie; od autodestrukcyjnej dekadencji po pełną mobilizację do dalszej egzystencji na scenie. "PitStop" jest więc próbą walki z wewnętrznym rozdarciem i wyjścia z niej silniejszym niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej.


Tracklist:
01. PitStop (prod. EnZU) 
02. Szyby w dół (prod. Ariel Beatz) 
03. Rzuć już to (prod. TMK Beatz)

Various - The Art of Falling Raindrops


Release Date: 24.05.2014
Label: Export Label

As a child I believed two things. I believed that if I ran in the rain fast enough, the raindrops would not hit me, and that the raindrops fall to the ground to the beat of music. Whether you believe it or not, I forgot about it for two decades, until one rainy day I listened to the fourth instalment of GoodNetlabels Compilation… Moved by the music, and reminded of these two childhood memories, I came up with the title for the compilation, one that evokes the atmosphere of that innocent time.

So how do raindrops fall, then? Can we call it art? Reason dictates that they fall down as the wind allows them to fall, but perhaps such an adult perspective is not the best one here, and perhaps it is better to use our imagination the way the artists who contributed to this outstanding compilation did?

1. Kratos Himself - The Art of Falling Raindrops 04:09
