Undersea Poem – Nuvens by SixDegreesRecords

New York indie duo Chris Root & Juju Stulbach, aka Undersea Poem, have just released their newest EP, Washing Away Yesterday, now available for purchase on Six Degrees Online Store or iTunes.

Full of their usual sentimental and intimate songs, Washing Away Yesterday can best be described as a delicately laid out, romantic journey through love, sadness and new experiences. This 8-track album will put you at ease with its lighthearted guitar riffs and soft melodies, perfect for a weekend roadtrip or a long car ride.

 

Soundwall chats with the Danish producer regarding his ongoing mash-up between acoustic and electronic instruments.

Mobilee's Back to Back Volume 5 came out this week, offering a panoramic view of the Berlin label at its most diverse. As tracks from Vincenzo, Rodriguez Jr., and label head Anja Schneider attest, Mobilee's tech-house approach has never sounded more colorful; and Marcin Czubala's half of the disc finds the Polish producer branching out from lush tech house and Latin grooves into downtempo and even proper pop songcraft. The latter is clear from "Stay Close," featuring the Warsaw singer Novika, a moody cut clearly inspired by classic tracks from Matthew Herbert and Everything But the Girl. As the lead single for the comp, "Stay Close" comes alongside "Never Give It Up," a bluesy collab between Czubala and Catz 'n Dogz, and Czubala and Hugo's "Zoo Comunale (Lemos Remix)," a gleaming tech-house grinder that crunches like boots through heavy snow. Spring is just around the corner, but here, at least, winter feels just fine.

Last year he unleashed “Wut” on unsuspecting dubstep punters, wondering what hit them. “Wut” didn’t wobble, and didn’t squeel like dubstep tracks did mostly. Plainly speaking, it wasn’t dubstep, it was just another unclassifiable Night Slugs outing. This year Girl Unit continues record label Night Slugs reign, alongside co-horts Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990, to name but a few. Get involved!

Eye4Eye Recordings have announced they will be releasing their first album compilation for the label this 2011, presented by none other than Altered Natives.

The compilation called The Guild of Synchronists, is a collection of works from a group of artists who some of you will know of, and some you will not know of, as yet, but all of whom Altered Natives think you will most definitely hear much more from in 2011 and beyond. All the artist featured on the compilation will no doubt be making some impact on on Eye4Eye over the coming years. You have been warned.

POLYHYMNIA is the name of a two day festival that takes place in Berlin later this month - 18th-19th March.

Focusing on the motorik Krautrock beat in all manner of different guises and some kosmiche and progressive thrown in for good measure, the festival features a hand picked selection of Electronic Beats favorites. The acts playing include Von Spar, Goblin, Antoni Maiovvi and Zirkon - a new band that features Milo Smee of Chrome Hoof fame and ex-Stereolab man Joe Dilworth.

Taking place in Berlin's massive Maria club the festival also features a whole host of DJ's, and an additional 'Zodiac Day' (at Halesches Ufer) on March 20th with documentaries, a record fair and even more bands.

Dan Snaith of Caribou and Kieran Hebden of Four Tet have announced plans for a duel 12” to come out on Hebden’s Text Records imprint, as well a show in Berlin this Friday at which the pair will go back to back in a unique night of music at the club Horst Krzbrg.

The split 12” sees Hebden and Snaith taking a side each to create two tracks of wonderful melody, and dance-floor goodness. Both tracks are immaculately crafted (would you expect anything less?) and are directed straight at the dance-floor. No messing around.

Snaith adopts a new alias, Daphni, to create ‘Ye Ye’ which compared to Caribou’s album Swim is a little simpler in production, but just as impressive as any of the tracks on the album. Hebden’s track called ‘Pinnacles’ has its feet firmly in both house and disco, layered with pianos, synths and an infectious beat.

We have two preview streams of the tracks; ‘Pinnacles’ is a rip from the Gilles Peterson BBC Radio One show and ‘Ye Ye’ is via Snaith’s Soundcloud page.

You can catch Caribou’s Dan Snaith and Four Tet’s Kieron Hebden go back to back to back this Friday at Horst Kruezberg. The split 12” will be on the way later this year.

We're still not sure why they chose to meet up for an interview, but we've got the results nonetheless. The New York legend talks to the Visionquest member over Skype in advance of his 50th birthday.

The new longplayer from Parisian house icon Phil Weeks couldn't have a more appropriate title than Love Affair. Weeks' passion for soul music drives deep into his psyche and resonates on his new album for Robsoul Recordings, which De:Bug Magazine selected as their album of the month for March. The album tells an involving musical story from the introduction through to the personal insights into Weeks' life on "All Day Every Day," the successful lead single supported by a diverse crew including DJ Sneak, KINK, Danny Howells, Yousef, X-Press 2, Mark Farina and Seth Troxler. We had a chat with Weeks about his latest project and how Love Affair came together.
