Makam Releases Album on Dekmantel

Makam has released a new album.

Than Sadet is Guy Blanken’s sophomore full-length, his first being 2010’s How Long Is Now on Sushitech. It won’t be the Dutch producer’s first release on Dekmantel, having already but out a handful of EPs with them (including an album sampler earlier this year).

The album was inspired by a trip Blanken made to Thailand, where the first sketches were reportedly put together (on the secluded Than Sadet beach). He described the contents of the 14-tracker as “tropical emo mystic dance,” drifting away from the club sounds he is known for.

Accompanying the release, Makam has shared a new video for “Mai Pen Rai,” which you can watch below.

Than Sadet was released today, November 17. Buy it now at the Dekmantel store.

Jeff Mills Soundtracks 1902 Film ‘A Trip To The Moon’

A Trip To The Moon will be re-released with a new score by Jeff Mills.

The highly influential French production, which is regarded by many as the first ever science-fiction movie, is a 1902 silent film by Georges Méliès. It is getting re-released this year, with the new soundtrack set to drop in 2017.

It is the latest in a line of productions to receive Mills soundtracks: he has also scored Richard Fleischer’s Fantastic Voyage and Fritz Lang’s Woman In The Moon(both sci-fi works themselves).

Jeff Mills’ A Trip To The Moon soundtrack will be available to purchase in 2017. Watch the film below.

Avalon Emerson Shares New Video for ‘Natural Impasse’

Avalon Emerson has shared the video for “Natural Impasse.”

The track is taken from Emerson’s forthcoming Spectral Sound debut, Narcissus In Retrograde (an EP that is billed as spanning everything “from symphonic showstoppers to broken acid”). On the video, Emerson stated: “All of the clips are from my personal phone video archive taken over the last half a year or so. I trimmed each video, turned them into gifs, and processed them into various emojisaic gifs using a ruby utility created by my friend Lucas Mathis, then I edited them all together, a process that took me about two months.”

Narcissus In Retrograde is due out November 25.

Sian ‘Phantom Power’

LA-based label manager and producer Sian has announced Octopus Recordings‘ 100th release: a compilation featuring a selection of tracks from artists including Pig & Dan, Gregor Tresher, Carlo Lio, Pleasurekraft, Juheun, and Shelley Johannson. The release will also feature a collaboration with Aaron ‘Jaws’ Homoki, a skater and fellow techno lover. The concept of the collaboration is to join together skating and techno, with co-branded, limited-edition decks, tanks, and limited-edition vinyl.

In the run up to the release on December 12, Sian has offered up a bonus cut as today’s XLR8R download. Appropriately titled “Phantom Power,” the track is a muscular slice of club techno that winds its way across its seven-minute run time with warped, alien-like synth work and a heavy rolling low-end.

You can download “Phantom Power” via WeTransfer below.

Kid Smpl Shares Latest Mix in DISPLAY Series

Kid Smpl‘s DISPLAY series is dedicated to the exploration of 10-15 minute single-track pieces. So far, DISPLAY has showcased work from Kid Smpl and New York producer Eaves, with the latest release arriving courtesy of MICHAELBRAILEY.

MICHAELBRAILEY is a producer, composer, and vocalist from Exeter, UK, who has appeared on Seattle-based label Hush Hush and London imprint Nonclassical, as well as Los Angeles-based producer Kastle’s Reflections LP. Across these appearances, he’s presented a sound of delicate beauty; one built from frayed piano lines, distorted synths, and poignant vocals.

His contribution to the DISPLAY series follows in the same vein; it’s a 13-minute ride through the young producer’s warped sound that, almost like a daydream, floats in and out of scenes with assured grace.

You can stream Intimacy Negator (Feel Me) in full via the player below, with more on MICHAELBRAILEY available at his recently-launched website.

RVNG Intl. Shares Visible Cloaks Video

Portland duo Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile (a.k.a. Visible Cloaks) will release their latest album, Reassemblage, via RVNG Intl. on February 17.

The album follows their RVNG debut, Valve / Valve— a collaborative release with Japanese act Dip in the Pool—and, according to the press release, is “a collection of delicately rendered passages of silence and sound that invokes – and invites – consciousness.”

Running alongside the release, Doran has compiled an hour-long mixtape titled Transitions—split into “Day and Night sides”—that weaves the duo’s Japanese influences with spoken word and contributions from peers and contributors to Reassemblage. The mixtape will be a limited release available only on cassette.

With the announcement of Reassemblage, Doran and Carlile have also shared the video for first single, “Terrazzo,” which features Motion Graphics and arrives accompanied by a virtual landscape from Brenna Murphy.

You can watch the video in full below, with the album arriving on February 17.
