Ghostly International has announced two new records for early 2017.

Firstly comes Jacaszek‘s KWIATY LP, the Polish artist’s first full-length since 2011’s Glimmer, and one that takes inspiration from the 17th-century metaphysical poet Robert Herrick.

Planet Mu Preps Teengirl Fantasy LP

Logan Takahashi and Nick Weiss (a.k.a. Teengirl Fantasy) will release a new album, titled, 8AM, on Planet Mu in March.

The LP is the duo’s first album since 2012’s Tracer—though the name indicates that is is more of a direct follow-up to their 2010 record, 7AM. According to the label, 8AM is their “most introspective and abstracted work so far.”

8AM is scheduled for March 24 release via Planet Mu, with “Star Rise” streamable in full below.

Clone Announces Drexciya Reissue

Clone will reissue Drexciya‘s Grava 4 this year.

The album was James Stinson and Gerald Donald’s final full-length together as Drexciya. Originally released in 2002 via Clone, Grava 4 was focussed on the theme of celestial travel, coming complete with a sleeve that mapped out distant planets. It arrived after a flurry of LPs under various guises (including The Other People Place and Transllusion), known as the Storm series.

This year, the electro album will be repressed by the Dutch imprint, as the next part of its Aqualung series.

Grava 4 will be reissued later this year. Pre-order it at the Clone store.

Tracklisting:

01. Cascading Celestial Giants
02. Powers Of The Deep
03. Drexciyen Starchamber
04. Gravity Waves

08. Astronomical Guidepost

Terraforma Festival Confirms 2017 Plans

Terraforma Festival, the international music festival dedicated to artistic experimentation and environmental sustainability, has announced the first round of artists for its fourth edition this upcoming 23—24—25 of June 2017 in the woodlands of Villa Arconati, Milan.

Terraforma has remained one of the few festivals that distinguishes itself for it’s intimate and authentic atmosphere, taking pride in its quality acts and concept as well as the outstanding location in the gardens of this beautiful Italian Villa from the 17th century.

In the last three years, the festival has hosted artists including Charlemagne Palestine, Biosphere, Primitive Art, Miles Whittaker & Andy Stott, Mark Fell, Senyawa, Atom TM and Tobias, Flanger, Burnt Friedman, Charles Cohen, Robert Lippok, Gea Brown, Bee Mask. In addition to this, Donato Dozzy has been performing every year as a different project, and same for Rabih Beaini (a.k.a Morphosis)—together with Adrian Sherwood, Beatrice Dillon, Lee Gamble, Helena Hauff, Paquita Gordon, Mark Ernests, Marco Shuttle, and Convextion.

The first four acts have now been confirmed for 2017, namely Andrew Weatherall; the pianist and composer Suzanne Ciani; Arpanet, a project of the Detroitian Gerald Donald (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt); and the master of ambient music, Laaraji. There will also be an artist residency by Francesco Cavaliere.

First round tickets of €70 have now sold out; early bird tickets can be purchased here for €80 that includes three-day festival access and camping.

In advance of the June event, a video recap of last year’s edition is streamable below.

Weekly Selections: Output’s Fourth Anniversary, Basic Soul Unit & Molly in LA, Halo Varga in San Diego

This weekend marks four years down for Output, the popular club in Brooklyn which is already widely considered the best legal venue for electronic music in all of New York City. To celebrate, Output organizers have again proved their booking strengths by locking in a stellar cast of heavyweight artists to play their booming sound system throughout the weekend. On Friday night, the main room will feature a takeover from Tuskeegee founder Seth Troxler and label mainstay Phil Moffa, while Frank & Tony from Scissors & Thread and Willie Graff are among the selectors playing in The Panther Room. And on Saturday, the French house icon Laurent Garnier will play all night in Output, while Panther Room sounds will be curated by DJ Three, Ray Zuniga, and the up-and-coming ReSolute resident Orazio Rispo. For more information and tickets to Output’s anniversary, click here.

On Friday night in Los Angeles, Into The Woods Recordings will return with another special warehouse shindig following their last party with Luke Hess. This weekend’s edition will feature a headlining set from the Toronto-based Dekmantel contributor Basic Soul Unit, who has also released material on Ostgut Ton, Creme Organization, and more. Molly, the rising selector who is resident at the legendary Rex Club in Paris, will also grace the decks at the party, making this a must-see for fans of pure deep house and techno. Tickets and more info can be found here.

On Saturday night in San Diego, Clique Movement returns for their first event of 2017, taking place at The Hole In The Wall near Liberty Station. For this edition promoters have recruited two Muting Noise contributors, Halo Varga and Paulo. The two minimal producers will be joined by Clique residents Bruno da Mata and Leo Marmentini. More information and tickets available here.

Watch the latest Masterclass from Point Blank

Last year, Point Blank filmed producer, DJ, and Point Blank graduate Sanaya Ardershir (a.k.a Sandunes) for an Ableton Live track masterclass in Pune, India.

In the masterclass, Ardershir gives insight into her creative process with a deconstruction of “Crystal Pink,” the single from her latest album, Downstream. Ardershir runs through her conceptual, creative, and technical approach to putting tracks together, as well as covering sound design, arrangement, mixing, mastering, hardware, plugins, and how they all apply to her working process.

You can watch the masterclass in full via the video below, with more on Point Blank and its course here.

Maddjazz Launches with Genre-Defying EP from Wahono; Hear a Track Now

On February 1, Mike Bloom will launch Maddjazz Recordings with a new EP from Harsya Wahono (a.k.a. Wahono), a music producer and DJ from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Bloom and Wahono met as a result of Wahono stumbling across Bloom’s track “Lush” on XLR8R‘s downloads section. In the piece, Bloom stated he was starting a label and Wahono sent a handful of tracks to Bloom via SoundCloud, one of which became the title track for the forthcoming EP, Abandoned Hi-Hats.

The vinyl-only EP features three cuts that explore “deconstructed rhythmic relationships, dissociative harmonic perceptions, and textural composition” in intricately arranged cuts that defy genre conventions.

Abandoned Hi-Hats will be available on February 1 and can be pre-ordered via the Maddjazz Bandcamp page, with the title track streaming in full below.

Watch a New Video from Babe, Terror

Tomorrow, January 27, Phantasy will present a new album from Brazilian artist Babe, Terror titled Ancient M’ocean.

Limited to 300 physical copies, Ancient M’ocean comes packed inside a comic conceptualized and produced by Babe, Terror himself and beautifully illustrated by Michael Crook. The comic and music chronicle a sci-fi romance that takes place in a world adjacent and just out of reach of our own, it’s a small part of “a community of souls… an incorruptible interconnection that binds us together as a whole.”

The music on Ancient M’ocean is beautifully foreign, fragments of sound that, like the concept itself, seems to exist in an out-of-reach realm of wonderment. When devoured as a whole package, the release gives an intriguing glimpse into Babe, Terror’s endlessly creative world.

Ahead of tomorrow’s release, you can stream the video (produced and directed by Mario Cascardo) for album cut “Allureon” (Parts ll & lll).
