XTRA LIMITED 40 Elaquent Vinyl Postcards

Taking the Scenic Route to Paris – Sepia Tone

When listening to Elaquent’s beats one is always drifted into his very peculiar and stylish universe made out of soulful flips, awesome variations, great drum sounds and programming.
That’s what we felt when listening to one of his works back in 2009, an indefinable emotion.

In order to celebrate his journey to Paris for his first european tour, we wanted to make a unique souvenir.

-Here come only 40 vinyl postcards, hand numbered, with the the finest « Sepia Tone » and the great artwork from MarOne.

A unique piece of art embodying the very special relationship between an artist and his first label.

Somepling CloudLoad EP Out Today !

Chopping and slicing samples, MPC, beatstrumentals, classy, analog, soulful layers, hip hop music…Here are some of the keywords for Somepling’s new EP called « CloudLoad ».

You’ll be invited to travel around those 6 tracks, on a jazzy journey, where everything is smooth and peaceful.

Sometimes darker (« Sunday Suite », « Silentolium »), like when rain comes, but always midtempo-ish cool-ish, it’s the work of a complete artist.

Through those smokey joints, « CloudLoad » will leave you far away…

You’ll go to a place where smoke-clouds equal music, and where communication turns into a poetic-indian-dance.

We are very proud to make this release at stillMuzik… so we decided to make a limited edition CD, and also a few extra limited vinyl postcards for a beat souvenir to be sent (or not) to someone you appreciate.

Because classy music needs classy objects, don’t you think?

Tranches de samples, MPC, beatstrumentaux, classe, analogique, soul, musique hip hop… Voici quelques mots clés définissant le nouvel EP de Somepling appelé CloudLoad.

Vous êtes invités à voyager dans ces 6 titres, un trajet jazzy, un voyage calme et apaisant. Parfois un peu plus sombre (« Sunday suite », « Silentolium »), comme quand la pluie arrive, mais toujours sur un train mid tempo-cool, ce EP est l’oeuvre d’un artiste complet.

Au travers de ces sons brumeux, « CloudLoad » nous emmène très loin… Là où les nuages de fumée transmettent des sons, et où la communication se transforme en une danse indienne poétique.

Nous sommes très fiers de proposer cette sortie chez StillMuzik, nous avons donc décidé de faire une série limitée de CD, et aussi quelques cartes postales vinyle, pour un souvenir sous forme de beat, à envoyer (ou pas) à quelqu’un de cher.

Car la musique classe a besoin d’objets classe, non ?

Biof – Cold Feelin’

With this new flipped EP called Cold Feelin’, I followed with the exercise of flipping only one song and stretch it out into 4 different instrumental tracks.

This time it comes straight from the beginnings-of-the-60′s-dirty-soul of a great singer called Dee Clark. The song is Blues get off my shoulder, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Hr_YvFQv6E8

It is a bluesy soul song that has a particular sad spaghetti western feeling, that I tried to pass with this ep.

As usual, I used the same drum kit, mostly the same sine bass sound, and tried to give to the whole ep a spontaneous and live ambiance.

It is is again for free, I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Peace.

Extra special thanks to MarOne who made the cover http://mar-one.tumblr.com/

Biof – Without sound

 

The exercise goes as following:
1) Take ONLY ONE song you like
2) Flip the samples on as much beats you like

I used the sample of one song I like particularly to make different beats, with different vibes. The flipped song comes from a famous french singer, Veronique Sanson (without sound), and the song « how many lies » comes from her soul funky works of the beginning of the 80′s. As usual, I don’t quantize beats, and I tend to use the same drumkit, same synths, all through the ep. Original track is here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEAgk9ickY8

Free DL of course, I hope you’ll enjoy it !
