Bonne St-Jean!
It’s with grat pleasure that Archipel, Montreal based label, has 2 releases for you to get for free. As we’re currently celebrating the St-Jean, which is Quebec’s national or USA’s 4th of July part, so it made sense we would introduce you to an artist from here, Galerie Stratique. We feel very lucky to have the chance to do the digital distribution of this high end product with detailed and sophisticated sound design. It certainly gives a whole new sense to what traditional Quebec music could in 100 years.
Galerie Stratique - Antihoraire
Label: Archipel
Cat: ARCHHS01
Format: Digital Only
A very new and special sub-series on Archipel introduce music as a free release, just like our first releases. The main approach is to make you discover new music from artists you might never heard of because their music genre was far off what you usually listen to.
Which brings us to Galerie Stratique who previously released an album as CD and was searching a way to reach the digital crowd. Our reaction to this opus was an immediate feeling to support it. This release is happening on the Quebec's national day so everything makes even more sense.
About the release, here goes with a few words:
"The idea of using global music soundscapes came to me while I was experimenting with field recordings of crowds. As a result of my ochlophobic* background, my experiments quickly assumed a disturbing mood that I was not aiming for with "Faux World." In the end, however, a coherence and harmony emerged in sequencing the isolated tracks, and the album successfully captured my transition from electronic to acoustic experimental.
Tracklisting:
* Ochlophobie
* Désolation Anticipée
* Les Beautées se noient
* Ethique Cathartique
* Désorienté (Long)
* Antihoraire

DJ Sodeyama - Now Is The Time
Label: Archipel
Cat: ARCH055
Format: Digital Only
Archipel welcomes Japan's Sodeyama who brings us the ultra thick, molten hot percussive "Now is the time", which comes in both vocal and instrumental flavors, begins with a heavily rhythmic and rolling bass fueled pulse which provides for a solid, and yet very much fluid, foundation which is in constant evolution and is laced with the potent words of Martin Luther King, Jr. Which are nested safely within this rolling aural landscape and hypnotically are lead into a very deep section of warm, plush padding which then rushes back into action with spellbinding force. "Sea Forest" is enormously heavy and rhythmically forms a liquid romp through well kept oceanic forestry as its might suggest, wrapping the listening in a shimmering shroud of wooden melodies which roam into deeper and darker areas and eventually back into clearings of light while "Slow Mist", again as it's title suggests, lightly billows and creeps horizontally across rolling dew laced fields of tall, slender, translucent plants which shimmer with refracted and diffused dawn light, giving its surroundings a delicate but tangible glow.
This release is available for free! (download) If you wish to support the artist, you can still show your love with a token of appreciation by buying it at your favorite shops such as Beatport.com and WhatPeoplePlay.com
