wunderschönes debüt von sara mitra auf dem großartigen londoner label impossible ark. im vereinigten königreich haben einflussreiche radio-djs wie jamie cullum (bbc radio 2) und gilles peterson (bbc radio 1) die sängerin und ihre sehr englischen, teilweise autobiographischen folk- und jazz-geschichten bereits ins herz geschlossen. april song ist in zusammenarbeit mit einigen der talentiertesten jungen jazzmusiker englands entstanden.

the eponym track of the album could not deserve any better musical researchers than ben klock, ark, tom taylor & paul woolford and fumiya tanaka to endorse his first prolog and the 30th vinyl of infiné s catalog.

monsieur guillaume berroyer — the infamous ark — recently underwent a sort of sea change in both his artistic and personal life. anyone following his career with even a passing interest knows of his long resume (collabs with pepe bradock and cabanne, dolibox, mika weill, releases on brif, karat, circus company, perlon…) and has heard tales of the studio fire and the creative energy shift and all of the stories associated with his frenzied live performances and dj gigs. great stories are fun and build mystique, but as most heads know the music more than measures up to the legend. his recent >arkpocalypse now< full-length showed a matured craftsman that is not so much waxing introspective as he is distilling his signature sound into something manageable enough to truly adapt to all of his musical tastes.

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

ark has got an eclectic and organic sound, something in between. from his origins as guitarist in a number of 80s funk bands, most notably trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is pepe bradock and onto the great matthew herbert & losoul with their first collaboration, belle lurette in 99. the alleluyark ep series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. his 2005 long player on perlon, caliente won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with shalom (as shalark), krikor (as krikark), cabanne (as copacabannark), mikael weill (as les cerveaux lents) and dolibox. his cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of stephen beaupre, mr. oizo, archive, mossa, salif keita, slabb, fym, robag wruhme

after five weeks of performing and traveling around brazil, long-term dfa stalwart gavin russom returned home with not only a love for the music he’d discovered there - carioca funk, atabaque drumming, tropicalia, south american-style rave.

pit spector started composing music in reggae and jazz bands, playing guitar and piano. he shortly discovered electronic music, following his bro steps ark, who gave him a sampler in one hand, a herbert record in the other. fascinated by this kind of composing, he founded antislash together with john merrick and charlie not fonk. the group is performing extremely punchy and improvised livesets accross europe. pit spector also writes music and sounds for avas verden, a more theatrical and noisy show, influenced by rita mitsuko, herbert and steve reich. in his first 12inch, on minibar, he offers a 4 tracker. its a unique sound and groove experience, with antislash remix. its about clicks, drums, voice, kicks… exactly as we like em. he takes this opportunity to thank again ark for passing on his love for music and dance
