![[NEW MUSIC] SATORI 'LALAI' CROSSTOWN REBELS](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b8d0af1bbee0410029d7c0/1783108290194-TUGIGF72ZRZGVCN3LDHZ/Satori.jpg)
Five years in the making. Five cities. Thirteen record stores. One profound question: what does it mean to keep a scene alive? Damien and Gautier Barras went to Japan to find out — and came back with something none of them expected.
They set up a temporary studio inside Hôtel Costes. Temporary became permanent. Three years on: eight albums, sixteen EPs, MidiMinuit — three days, zero rehearsals, all improvised in a Kreuzberg loft with a B-Steinway and a Studer console. Ricardo Villalobos has already claimed Glacial as the album of his dreams. Kirk Lightsey came at 80 and played with the enthusiasm of a newcomer.
Dance music was always about having fun. That's the ethos Ryan Crosson and Cesar Merveille carry into everything they do — individually as forces behind Visionquest and Cadenza, and together as a duo whose collaborative album DRM, mixed by Luke Solomon, pushes electronic music somewhere genuinely new. We caught them in conversation for the launch of our partnership with Beirut in the Mix.
Unusual and improbable events in the universe have compelled the founders of Life and Death to travel to Miami. What they've built with PL0T is not a club night, not a label showcase — it's an exploration of the wonders and raw emotions of life and death itself, stretched across 12 hours and three transformed spaces at The Electric Pickle.
He started with skateboarding. Then at 18 he walked into a record shop and never fully left. French-American producer Anthony Collins — Panorama Bar marathons, DC10 Ibiza, Scissor & Thread, remixes for Villalobos — gives his views on labels, life, and why there is always a bright side. Always.
They returned to planet Earth in 2001 after traveling the musical cosmos for thousands of years. Kabanjak and Dogu — Ancient Astronauts, Cologne — make hip hop, dub reggae, and African funk collide into something completely their own. Their debut album We Are To Answer features The Pharcyde, Tippa Irie, and Azeem. This is the personal favorite album of the Antakly Projects editor, 2009.
The Soul
Continues
to Manifest
formerly Terence Trent D'Arby
A truly wild, defiant and fascinating story — one of the most gifted artists of his generation, who walked away from all of it.
The fast-paced life and the interference of industry figures led him to abandon the 80s rock star life and disappear from the public eye as he battled with PTSD. Nevertheless the soul continues to manifest and transform. Today we speak to him about his new album, his inspirations, and what remains when the industry falls away.
