Info:
Running Back regular Feater aka Daniel Meuzard puts his newly-transplanted studio through its paces for the first time since relocating from Vienna, swapping out the bustle of the city for the fresh mountain breeze of the West Alps. The Positive People EP proves that a change is as good as a rest, as the wide open nature not only had some rejuvenating effects on the creative process - it also gave Feater some room in his head to ponder questions about nature, nurture, and whether our inner morality is externally programmed.

The taut jazz funk of opening track Coding springs into action like the montage music of a lost ‘70s TV show, while the title track Positive People plays on the ambiguity of its title, with cascading synth notes, tastefully dubby 303 stabs, and an afro-cuban drum figure that forms the foundation for a spaced-out dancefloor workout. It's a combo of tracks that should appeal to chat room moderators and serotonin programmers alike.

Expensive Zeit kicks off sounding like grime maverick XTC had been brought up on Murder Capital electro rather than East London garage - before it morphs into a bumpin electrofunk and percussion session, with its sights set firmly on an aquatic worm hole. The EP rounds out with Decline All Cookies, which breaks out of a flanged-out half-time drum 'n' effects intro to reveal a lush chord progression, flipping a soul jazz piano mood into a trippy slice of modern instrumental funk.


Can man be the master of his own destiny? It seems with this change of location and musical direction, Feater might just have figured out the answer.

Shortinfo:
Three’s a charm, as they say. After „Waste The Time“ and „Socialo Blanco“ „Money“ completes Daniel Meuzard’s Feater triptych. Again joined by the likes of Eric Owusu and Sam Irl and their musical as well as technical skills, as well as by the lovely voice of Vilja Larjosto, the ageless beauty and intellectual brilliance of „Money“ is impossible to resist. It could have been imagined, written and recorded almost anytime in the last 50 years. Inspired or - better put - troubled by the rise and transformation of capitalist systems, fatalism, extravism, climate change and - surprise - the power, corruption and lies revolving around money, its topic is anything, but bubblegum. The music though, is ranging from powerful songs to clever synth experiments. Incredibly executed with a perfectly wonderful result. And even if Daniel writes that there is „no need to worry, I want you to panic“, we want you to listen to this album, while you do so! Hats off to Feater. „

Release Info:
Sometimes, - despite today's high-octane, fast-track and hyper-hysteric music business - you come across things that seem so pure, perfect and poetic that it almost hurts. "Socialo Blanco" is one of these objects.

It appears understated at a first listen, startling at the second and totally enamouring by the third run. To lay it all out on the table: it sounds like a Music from Memory re-issue, looks like a Growing Bins Records discovery and feels like a flea-market-hippie-uncle-record-collection find.

Based on the language (coincidences and misbehaviour included) and direction of the classic EMS Synthi AKS and recorded by hand and directly to tape (no midi, no sync, no computer), it is at once out of time and out of touch with current sound aesthetics, but that only makes it even more contemporary (vintage) - like a great piece of furniture.

Unsurprising, if you know that Feater is helmed by Daniel Meuzard. Hailing from Vienna and having made a name for himself as a trustworthy and skilled studio equipment dealer and working closely with producer and studio engineer Sam Irl, the man has a knack for turning yesterday into today.

Already is his project's second album, "Socialo Blanco" is the result of all of this and some magical and effortless sessions. The voice of Vilja Larjosto from Finland and Ghana's Eric Owusu (Pat Thomas, Ebo Taylor) on percussion, spontaneously invited to the recording sessions by fellow Viennese Giuseppe Leonardi, are the icing on the cake. All of that and especially the non-conformist pop song "Time Million" symbolizes the heart and soul of an album that deserves to be billed as such. And that is no mean feat.

Daniel Meuzard aka Feater originally hails from a small mountain village in the Western Austrian Alps. The music producer with North African roots calls Vienna his home for quite some time now.
For more than ten years he has been involved in electronic music and working with analog synthesizers and classic tape recording.
As an owner of a studio equipment shop he was able to get his hands on a wide variety of equipment. Experimenting with different instruments and recording techniques helped him to develop his own
musical ideas.
In 2013 he released the 7“ vinyl single „Digital Love“ on „Paradeis Garage“. In February 2015 he recorded his debut album „Waste The Time“ on a 8track tape recorder and finalized it together with the
producer and recording engineer Sam Irl in the summer of 2015.
As a member of the FinishGermanAustrian group „Skymax“ (along with StilettiAna & Sam Irl) he released the vinyl EP „Trucker Trans“ on his own label called „International Major Label“ in October 2015.
Remixes by Tuff City Kids and Gerd Janson will follow.

Genre: Techno - 12" Maxi Single - 45 RPM

Tracklist :
A1 Pull
B1 Push

Ruutu Poiss returns to International Major Label with two evolutionary,
spacetime bending dance floor hitters.
The Estonian sound artist revisits the psychedelic approach used for his first 7" release on the label (Halli / Uttu, 2016), expanding his refined palette with the use of modular synthesizers.

Pull / Push holds extraterrestrial, contemporary techno music. Off-kilter, but very effective.
These two powerful gems could easily be described as 'heavy' or 'weighty', but that seems very unfitting here. Where Pull immediately entraps us in a soaring vortex, Push takes a long intro
to launch us hard into a compelling stratosphere.

Between Techno and Toto, drop shadows and ethereal patterns, Sam Irl and Daniel Helmer

B1 Safe & Sound
B2 Present Tense

Short Info:
The best thing about trends is often their counter-movement. In times of digital hysteria, the
contradiction lies unsurprisingly in deceleration, in turning away from algorithms. The search
for the diffusely concrete, a kind of musical memory from the infinite ocean of sounds and
acoustic figures, is at the centre of a dark glowing cloud called Mantra Mantra.
Between Techno and Toto, drop shadows and ethereal patterns, Sam Irl and Daniel Helmer
simmer their hypnotic sounds.
The music whispers with every note: we are only two interconnected home studios,
quietly eloquent through the night as an anti-hysterical mantra to all the recipients of this
universe. More

Skymax are Stiletti-Ana (of finnish groups Jesse & Tähtiportti),
Feater (Running Back) and Sam Irl (Jazz & Milk / Freerange).

After their 2015 debut Skymax are back with another cosmic disco trip on 12“.
An extended space adventure featuring the fabulous Vilja Larjosto on vocals.
Music that is truly High On Time, heavily influenced by modern theories of the free spirit and
extraterrestrial life.

Midnight Embassy is a ping­pong project by songwriter Angela Aux and producer
Sam Irl.
During nightly sessions and on walks together, the two artists have created a palette
of timeless tracks and futuristic sculptures from pop music flotsam. Like if two
archive junkies had synchronized their sketch collections and notebooks so that the
different genres and decades seem to effortlessly swirl through each other: Dub,
Folk, Beatnik literature, Afrobeat & Electronica.
Aux & Irl celebrate a gentle escapism, both cosmopolitan and aloof. This island
mentality sparkles unobtrusively through all five tracks of the debut EP. No fireworks,
no illuminated advertisements, no selfie thunderstorms: they come at dusk, set
shimmering beacons and disappear on a reverberation trail behind the curtain of the
night.

Info:
After the last years widely appreciated 12" with two extraterrestial dancefloor cuts on Jon Rust's Levels imprint and a handful of now hard-to-find 7" releases, the estonian musician Ruutu Poiss returns to his minimal funk and leftfield synth-pop roots releasing a debut EP on International Major Label. The six selected homerecordings from 2011-2016 reflect almost a chronological and caleidoscopic journey through the authors musical explorations, instrumental storytelling and unique sound design, imaginatively non-locking to specific genres. The EP starts with a massive stadium-hype pop groove that soon descends into an unsteady bassline of emotional undercurrents just to illustrate a clear shift from public to highly private and minute. There onwards it's a search for a way out of the rabbit hole, a trip of curious naviagtion and personal reflection. From haunting vocals to vicious toms; celestial soundscapes over restless rubbery bass; shimmering synths over polyrhythmic strcutures – an environment of romantic futurism and organic transformation appears, surrounded by a warm psychedelic sound pallette. Previous releases played and supported by Secretsundaze, Benji B, James Blake, Mary-Anne Hobbs, Call Super, Omar-S and many others.
