Hey!

There is a hoover at your party, chatting up pretty people, hitting legs, getting drunk and blowing up all the forgotten awesomeness it sucked up during daytime. Take it for a spin, the plug must be somewhere near your ears.

It’s summer, it’s hot. The world brushes past in a blur and from somewhere bright sounds lull you into happy inactivity. Then some beats come sneaking out of the flowery meadows of light-footed sound… Take a stroll now, break into the undergrowth, dance to piano-melodies, unpretentious and carefree as some things, kids say (the non-annoying kind of kid). When some playful pressure is built up, fight some squirrels, and let their tails go when it’s kind-of released…until the last track accompanies you in a soft and joyous way into the night. Sweet dreams you all.

[WaW033] Cagey House – Do the Magnet

Entering a forsaken playground by twilight. The swing is still in motion, there are some buckets in the sand-box, maybe a lost green sock lying around. The carousel is playing melodies, if you listen carefully, you can hear the bats swarming above your head. The monkey bars start to resemble a giant theremin and the memory of noisy action still lingers over the place, making you skip. Everything is covered in eerie euphoria, stringing it together: the music-box sounds, the trumpets, the orchestral, the Pop, the excitement, the freedom, the order, the deconstruction. Do you know the feeling, when you drank a coke, and you have to sneeze, and the carbonic acid is in your nose? And the great feeling, when it stops, and your nose is dribbling a bit and you start laughing? This is it. In sound.

It’s sound under pressure, call it „cold funk“ if you wish. Like a robot-fly trapped under a jar, buzzing between your ears.Could be the soundtrack to a computergame for a computer that needs to be invented yet. It will possibly have a human brain. And will shoot lasers. And your mouse will burn under your fingers. Best played by guys in suits and simple glasses, who are able to tell the dirtiest jokes you’ve ever heard. Despite the fact, that this music is not funny, on the contrary: it’s seriously cool. You will want to be caught listening to this.

The artist formally known as MitHra as you’ve never heard him before. Well, you could say that for more than half of his uncountable albums, since he reinvents himself constantly new, and doubles, triples, quadruples himself.. but that’s not the point. It’s nearly impossible to nail the sound of this huge album (may I say: it’s a butt-load of music, and a big butt, and a fine one at that) to some easy-to-recognize buzz-words, but all in all, I think, I can trace some sifgnificant traits. The first half is dominated by an almost „cool“ sound. Cool, as in jazzy, as a categorical adjective, not a judging one. Obviously. Almost minimalistic beats, surrounded by clouds of gloom, and dangerous softness. In the second part, the tension rises: more pressure, more breakbeats. And although this album is really long, he never loses track, coherence is the key, patience is not required for this one. You’ll hear what we mean.

Nothing really fits, and well, you know, everything does, depending on how you look at it. This is how that compilation worked. Kind of throwing in different kind of shoes: sneakers, boots, high-heels (lots of those in there actually, mean to wear but kind of awesome to look at, you‘ll see. Listen. Where was I?) but in the end they are all shoes, right? Even with matching colors. Drone, breakcore, beats, melodies, we offer the whole menu in one go and you just need to (wo)man up to stomach that. But WaW turned 30 with that one, so we are grown-ups now, and you are too, are you not? Just kidding. Trying to think of a childish joke now, but nothing comes to mind. Too sad. No. Wait. Legends of the future. Shift and drift. There you go, stupid word-play. We promise, what we hold.

Empty your brain before listening. Because Joris J will fill it to the brim anyway, engaging storyteller and teacher, that he is. Though not of the warm, fuzzy kind with silly hats and beards. This sound is all about precision. Listening to this equals maybe watching a construction-site in the future, each abstract sound growing like bacteria-cultures in a petri-dish under the miscroscope into a new „whole“. There is something going on. You need to listen carefully, to know, what.

Funeral for Dead Words

Like a ride on a little panorama-train around a small lake in the middle of the montains. The melancholic conductor takes out his little organ, and it’s reverbed sounds float out over the lake, being thrown back by the rockywalls, and on goes the short, bumpy journey, cushioned by soft distortion, until you get off board. Then you will stand in the surreal remainders of the echoing sounds, watching the conductor going around the lake forever and ever. Or maybe closing-time.
