Presenting the first Section 27 release from Jimmy Penguin, one of the people behind Galway’s ‘Community Skratch Games’ , a member of the infamous scratch ensemble ‘Vince Mack Mahon’ and also a Dj / Producer in his own right, comprising two seperate EP's - "It's Not Dubstep" and "What A Mess" - into one unified body, the affectionately named "The S27 Double Bluff" brings a high standard of emotive electro hip-hop arrangements fused with piano and strings to give a slick sound and another shining entry to his alarmingly prolific catalogue of music.

   LCL netlabel just released the second volume of hte "Recto Versus" serie, where an artist from the label remixes and is remixed by other musicians, coming from LCL or invited.

   After Volfoniq on volume 1, the second opus of the "Recto Versus" serie puts an artist from the label at the center of a vast collaborative work that lasted for one year and spreads over several countries.
   The aim of the project is to push further the use of creative commons licences and promote them widely, while exploring all the aspects of a musician style with his own eyes and foreign ones.

   Arrogalla involved several artists from Sardegna (his birthplace) that produce folk related electronic music just like him, as well as european, american and asian producers from various musical styles.
   Thru 20 tricky tracks, together, they expose their vision of a generous and universal musical language, using numerous sonic vocables : dub, ska, lofi, dubstep, minimal, electronica, chiptune, funk, deviant hiphop, grime ...

What better way to celebrate May Day and/or the successful completion of horses running around a track then to come throw down with the absolute BEST in Abstrakt Entertainment?! This Saturday night, ISSUE Project Room will host a massive blow-out banger of a party thanks to the NY-arrival of way-out-west Resipiscent masters Occasional Detroit (O-D) and Hans Grüsel’s Kränkenkabinet, showing up just in time to magically transform the Old American Can Factory into a hallucinatory gingerbread house oozing with joyous dementia and billowing clouds of that purple salvia.

Regard with wonder as sad barn-faced people twist cracked-out synths into a cacophony of roiling noise, only to find the madness penetrated by a man in a beaked-bean costume dropping boat-rocking party rhymes:

Stare in awe as Towondo “Beyababa” Clayborn spits unhinged raw verse whilst scaling a cast-iron fence as Demetrisa “Demeat” Anderson alchemizes an erupting and imploding heat rock of a beat:

Gasp with relief to realize that the endless cornucopia of the FMA has a stash of Resipiscent-provided tracks to appease you until the Saturday night mayhem hits full tilt:

Sparkling_G! is the latest album by French-based artist yan_G pouring down the genres Jazz and abstract Electronica into a coherent and universal stream of music.

His own reflections on Sparkling_G! album: „It is not a concept album”, there is no idea behind the music, there is no thinking involved! „I tried, as in most of my music, to put as much soul in it as I can. I always try to tell something coherent, realistic, even if I have no idea what it is.“ The major point of his music is to tell what can’t be told in words, to express what wants to come out, with very little control. „I would say that the only conscious input during my music making process is the attempt to make it musically universal; to give it a certain coherence. I make sure each track is meaningful to me, with the hope that it’ll be meaningful to someone else, too.“

Analyzing his own music and creation process, yan_G considers the lower frequencies as dark, and the higher as bright. „Which, I guess is universal because on many audio devices the boosting of high frequencies is called brightness.“ The sparkles he mentions in the title refer to that. yan_G tries to sculpt stars with the high frequencies, above a beautiful landscape made of bass and mids. Bright details that sparkle in your ear.

Besides the most obvious Plaid and  Squarepusher (Warp), yan_G’s major influences are Freeform (Skam) for the production and composition, Leila (Rephlex) for the soul, and LRAB (Audio Aubergine…) for the bright moments.
