The Bubble 1 Year anniversary event.
Day: November 11, 2011
Theo Parrish – S.T.F.U [SS044]
KiNK – Tracks from the vault Vol. 2 [SHV006]
Bulgarian artist Strahil Velchev aka KiNK for the second volume of the “Tracks from the Vault” series. After the Aphex KiNK EP and KiNK’s tribute to Richard D. James, Sharivari releases another 6 tracks from the man, all produced between 2004 and 2009 in Sofia and showcasing again his love for the dirty side of electronic music, from pure warehouse techno to some funky and warm broken beats, with a subtle touch of acid, as always with KiNK.
Sangue de Cristo – Ponta do Mato / Cova do Vapor [EYE003]
One Eyed Jacks label offers a sterling collaboration between Photonz and Tiago Miranda. Both Portuguese natives, they’ve dedicated the tracks to remote, desolate beaches outside their capital city. ‘Ponta do Mato’ is a a sublime, supple Baleari-tinged groover with warm traces of classic Acid House done in deeply romantic style, while ‘Cova do Vapor’ is more disco-jacked and psychedelic with frothy cosmic synthlines.
Andreas Saag – Back To Life EP [LT004]
Sweet release by Andreas Saag dropping some hot piano driven house on the a-side that has a bit of that Nights Of The Jaguar vibe with its staccato string melodies. Jazzy keys all over combine with a solid drive. Strong track!! A classy deeper cut on the flip side
Arttu ft. Jerry the Cat – Nuclear Funk [ROYAL011]
Arttu aka Lump would be jamming in his Lisbon studio with Detroit’s Jerry the Cat! These tracks are the perfect first collaboration between Arttu, Jerry the Cat and Clone records!! Playful and funky old schoolish house tracks with the joyfull vocals of Mr Cat all recorded during some live sessions in Lisbon where they both reside. Arttu went back to some intuitive drum programming for these live sessions and made simple funky drum machine patterns around nice hypnotic basslines. Vocals and additional percussion still have some of that live feel after the tracks have been arranged and mixed.
