Dam Swindle
Minor Fools EP

Linkwood returns to AOTN in 2022 with Stereo, the follow up and part two, to his killer and hyper focussed LP Mono, which turned heads in 2021.All recorded live at the AOTN studio, he's kept the essence of the first LP which worked so well, but moved it on in a much deeper direction.Fusing many of his influences, Boogie, Detroit and early 80's synth joints to name a few, stereo has its own identity and showcases Linkwoods ability to write and produce on the fly but maintain that warm, fuzzy and intricate sound we all love him for.

Brand new label VIBRASJON kicks off with a tsunami remix EP, joining two of west-coast Norway's favourite sea-gazers. Following Vullum's "Ohms Love" LP from last year, Telephones reimagines and transforms the material through three elaborate new metamorphosis. Beatless ambient, leftfield trip-hop and euphoric balearic techno - from 0 to 137 bpm. "Changgu-Satturnu (Telephones' Mind Meld)" takes you on a cinematic ride to the etheral, while the strong emotional tide of "Tustna (Telephones Slowmocean Ambient Mix)" pulls you out, far and deep through rogue waves and swells of starry-eyed nostalgia and pure feel. Flipping the record, not to mention tempo, "Tustna (Telephones Sueñotechno Rush Mix)" is exactly what it sounds like: A pounding 12 minute mind-trip through ambient techno, to a parallel universe where Hawaii, Detroit, Goa and west-coast Norway are all grains of sand at the same beach.. do not miss!

For the second release on Lord Of The Isles’s Dusk Delay imprint we see the Kimochi Sound and Hanagasumi regular, Shine Grooves deliver one of his best organic electronic odysseys to date. Spanning 6 tracks; it masterfully traverses an exciting intergalactic sonic landscape. Aptly titled ‘Pictures Of Mood’, the EP conjures vivid imagery through evocative deep experimental introspection, soul enhancing optimism and eyes-closed dancefloor dreaming. Limited vinyl run with Riso print.

Part of only a small and very much underground music scene in his hometown of Venice, Gigi Masin self released two modestly pressed LP's 'Wind' (1986) and 'Wind Collector' (1991) and appeared along side Charles Hayward for the Sub Rosa compilation LP "Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Volume 2" (1988). Having met with little commercial success in Italy at the time, Gigi Masin's solo albums remained for the most part totally unknown. His music has though in recentyears, and seemingly by pure word of mouth, developed almost something of a cult following. Gigi Masin's uniquely intricate and at times deeply emotive compositions take the listener into a realm of contemplation, a spellbound mind state where time and space appear to dissolve. His sparse and hypnotic often loop-based compositions seem to draw parallels with Detroit Techno's earliest beginnings, all at once conjuring those same feelings of both melancholic longing and ecstatic joy. With access to Masin's large body of work, far greater than that of the handful of released recordings, Music From Memory's new compilation covers a period of over 30 years, from the mid 1980's up until recent works . Including seventeen compositions, most of which have remained unreleased or unavailable until now, 'Talk To The Sea' aims to shine a light on Gigi Masin's unique and heartfelt talent. This is electronic music from the soul."
