Info:
Lyra Pi from DeWalta is a longplayer with 5 synthesizer and score-like modern ambient works that mark the first release of a new series by Meander. The Meander Horizon Pi Series is a departure from the labels well known dancefloor releases.

This record is also the second part of the complementary Lyra album-project. The full album contains a double LP (Lyra) on Meander as well as this Lyra Pi LP.

The 180 gram vinyl record comes in a special package, containing a handmade see-through screen-printed PVC sleeve, plus an insert card with artwork. Combined with the separately available Lyra double LP customers can create a 3LP box set.

Lyra is a star-constellation in the northern hemisphere which is highest in the midnight sky in the early summer months. It contains one of the brightest stars in the sky - Vega. Many of the songs on this album were produced during these warm and gentle months during an inspirational creative time in Portugal.

In Greek mythology, Lyra represents the Lyre of Orpheus, Apollo’s son. Made by Hermes from a tortoise-shell, it was given to Apollo who then passed it along to Orpheus. It is said to be the first music instrument ever made.

Info:
Lyra is DeWaltas fourth large solo-project and third full-length solo-album following Wander in 2012 (on Haunt), llumination in 2014 (on Meander) and Dark Matter in 2017 (on Amphia) besides „Residual“ a collaboration-album with Mike Shannon.

The album consists of two individually available parts: a double LP (Lyra) with 6 tracks on Meander as well as a single LP (Lyra Pi) with 5 synth and ambient works. The Ambient-Part launches a new Meander Horizon Pi series-- a departure from Meander’s well known dancefloor releases.

Lyra is by far DeWaltas most extensive and refined project to date. With 11 exclusive songs, a total running time of over 100 minutes - plus a collaboration with long time friend and Meander co-owner Fabian Geimer-Lorusso aka. Jupiter - it marks a new beginning of ambient and score-like modern electronic music works as well as the continuation of his inspired intellectual-emotional approach to dance music.

Illumination is a record inspired by several physical phenomenons and relationships, quantum mechanics, space, darkness and light. It is a body of work focusing on complex sound frequency experimentations and illuminating questions around consciousness as well as awareness - triggered by deep emotions about being a human - reacting to sound and music. It works with subtle, clear kaleidoscopic musical textures and silhouettes triggered from an unknown place far out in the universe. Just as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has experienced the zen-like experience of seeing earth from space to a state of mind also known as the overview effect, or Savikalpa Samadhi, some eastern philosophies address the same topic from a different angle. Two objects, even far apart from each other in space can be energetically entangled and connected. Darkness is absence of light. Life and energy is light. Light is invisible until it surfaces. In the zero point sleeps all potential energy. But above all now enjoy the music.

As much as it´s fun to read a personal text, it´s a pain for the artist himself (or at least for me) to write or say something about my music. Don't get me wrong, i like these personal texts. They support the release in a nice way, but having to talk about my music or style always seems awkward and it happens too much in interviews anyway. So one thing is for sure: i am not going to explain my music, my "style", tag it with some kind of genre or give an idea or explanation with words, what kind of music it is or how it sounds. If you want to get an idea, simply listen to the Tracks.
Now. Since i won't be talking about music, I thought I´d give you a brief idea of what was going on in my brain and what I was thinking, reading and researching lately about the world, the human thought, physical, nonphysical and metaphysical things. This record, the "Thinkers EP" was heavily inspired by these thoughts and research.
I stumbled upon an essay about metaphysics, which caught my interest so i started researching. Metaphysics looks at the things behind ("meta") the physical appearance and its relationship to the non-physical appearance. It asks questions about existence, objects and beings and their properties, about time and space, cause and effect as well as possibility.
During the time i was working on this music i especially read about Plato and his approach to metaphysics. He, as Socrates student started to implemented and respect the physical world in philosophy, other then Socrates who said everything physical is irrelevant and only a shadow of an ideal, "the perfect" (non-physical).

After recently releasing astonishing records on Vakant & Kalk Pets, DeWalta is hitting now even more dynamic and powerful the springtime floors. Back on his motherlabel with great & unusual music and we dare to say that it is our favorite release of him so far... "Saluki" starts straight with a crafty bass driven smooth rocket and build it's self up alongside a guiding piano loop to reach very atmospheric frictions. Soft choir singing here and there, various dub sounds brushing in the space, bringing all sound aficionados into a beautiful ride. DeWalta's crispy rhythms are eventually fading out into melancholic and moving Detroitish strings, to complete this unique piece of music. "Shagya" on the flipside is a self-developing carnevalesque odyssey. It's such a profound & delicious kickdrum, tightened with an extraordinary bass presence, it's simply irresistible not to groove happily on that one. All is enriched with polyphonic Balafon rhythms and hilarious African rooted chants - this is the energetic tool for those special intimate moments. A perfect track when lust and familiarity is present within the crowd and we consider time as officially end.

Special Remarks: 180 gram vinyl. Initial copies in hand-made screen printed sleeves.
Tracklist:
A: Konrad Black - Scorched Earth (dBridge Interpretation) B: Konrad Black - Scorched Earth (Barac Interpretation)
Info:
Fresh, genre bending interpretations from Barac (Romania) and dBridge (UK).
These two inspiring producers provide their modern touch to the contemporary dancefloor continuum:
dBridge offers an up-to-date hybrid that straddles the line between techno and breakbeat, while Baracs extended mix is a deep and hypnotic journey through space. dBridge represents a milestone when it comes to UK dance music. Being part of the legendary drum and bass group Bad Company in the late 90s, running his extensive label Exit Records, and regularly releasing on Boddikas Nonplus, Metalheadz, as well as R&S, he has gained an enviable reputation as a specialist with a modern take on techno and breakbeat variations.
Romanias up-and-coming Barac has released a double record on Rareshs Metereze imprint among others, has recently launched his own platform with Moment, and is inarguably one of the top creative minds emerging from the vivid ourown / sunrise scene.
The selection of these particular producers is the result of Konrad Black simultaneously considering his past while embracing the future. His affinity for dBridge goes back longer than a decade when Konrad was working for Virus Recordings in London, making dBridge an ideal conduit for the Drum and Bass aesthetic that still courses through both artists veins. Barac represents a new wave of artists whose music exists as a crystal ball depicting an ideal future for techno music on the whole. Together, these top talents present a pair of fresh interpretations of Blacks darkly aspirational release.

Info:
Continuing its ongoing theme of releasing records influenced by our vast universe, deep space, spirit and consciousness, Meander presents The
Scorched Earth EP by Konrad Black, a selection of advanced 101 techno infused break-beat science. With his sparse, yet highly considered discography, Mr. Blacks first output for Meander draws key inspiration from recent earth-bound meteorites and the blinding light that follows. Creating precision dance music, Black conjures the essence of the explosive meteorite, its afterglow and its sonic resonance. The results are powerful, timeless sonic treatments for body and
soul. Together with fellow Canadian Mathew Jonson, Konrad Black founded the influential Wagon Repair label in 2005 - A label that has had a heavy impact
on the dance community with its relentless top-quality releases including those of Black himself. The Scorched Earth EP will be accompanied by a
follow-up record in the form of remix-interpretations by genre defining artists from the underground electronic dance music scene.

Wonderful energetic dance music with well integrated rhythmic and melodic structures. Cristi Cons is a romanian musician from known [a:rpia:r] who also runs his own Amphia imprint. This to the point dance-floor-proven EP now becomes available, pressed into solid wax as Cristis debut on Meander. Lifelong studies in classical music as a cellist have sharpened his sensitivities for unique harmonies and a good ear for sounds. A few years back he got fascinated by the modern spirit of club music surrounding him in Bucharest and beyond. Besides working on his solo productions, he recently worked with Pedro Inspirescu for the TT Ensemble project released on Yojik-Concon. Furthermore he created Sideways Invisibility Theory together with Vlad Caia plus a new cooperational jam called Verico with Raresh and Vlad. We are certain Cristi Cons will continue to make waves in a muscial field which is fascinated by feelings, rhythm and the observation of nature.

Tracklist 12": A1: We Journey The Human Race A2: Hard To Describe B: Drop It Low
Impossible Rendez-Vous is an hypnotic and meandering house excursion by swing maestro Guillaume and his jazzed out Coutu Dumonts. From the funked up and highly danceable heat of A1 to the spaced-out drum ornaments and rider-on-the-stormesque keys of A2, the wriggly run of this record finally flows over into a deep slow burner on the B side - atmospheric elegance. Guillaumes inimitable expertise for intuitive dance patterns made him a well seen suspect on neat labels like Circus Company, Hartchef Discos, Karat, Oslo, Mutek or Vincent Lemieuxs Musique Risquée. Long in the making this EP is the logical continuation of a longtime friendship between Guillaume and the Meander gang. "Everything in good time" was the slogan on this one and Impossible Rendez-Vous seems to bring together elements that would have, otherwise, been pulled apart by gravity and time. This debut on Meander certainly shapes great things to come.
Featured musicians:
A1 - Vocal and lyrics by Dynamike (Michel Ndeze), Guitar by Alexis Messier, Keys by Nicolas Boucher and Saxophone by Sébastien Arcand-Tourigny

For their anniversary release Meander present a diverse and exceptional record. Celebrating with an exquisite family compilation from the labels core artists. Dusty stripped down Villa Rossi is the result from a breathtaking late night session leading into blissed out moments.

Tetraeder jumps right into the deep sea, with clever modular synthesizer morphings, heavy meandering basslines and tight drumming DeWalta creates a unique cut of uncompromising power house. Karma is a refreshing cinematographic work, dragging you into warm chords and intelligent rythms, a piece of originality in typical Pikaya style. Alejandros Zeit brings this showcase to its climax with a gentle, sensual and melodious house track, carefully executed in a crystal clear production. All artists serve previously unreleased tracks deliberately assembled for this release. More

Meander continues the killer project from Mike Shannon and DeWalta with a superb record of pure analog synth-funk. The creative cooperation between these two inventive minds deliver a pretty unusual adventure.

Their second offering goes a huge step further into sounddesign and warm black grooves making it a perfect record for the house Meander is. Saint Jack De Smoove welcomes you to join him on his incredible voyage into altered states.

The Meander label presents us a new signing to their family with a powerful record from Ion Ludwig. 3 songs on vinyl, including a DeWalta rework and another remix as a digital bonus. The vinyl comes with beautiful artwork. After playing the sunday residency at legendary Club der Visionäre in Berlin for the last two years alongside other Meander members, it was just a matter of time until the very talented young Dutch producer joins the roster. Releasing a well received album with timeless house music on his own imprint Quagmire in 2010, he's now back in 2011 with pretty charming new music. These tracks have a deep dynamik, all produced with a remarkable flow and energy. The track Background Be is like a purely rhythmic and emotional journey filled with chords and strings coming from an unexpected place. Suddenly the whole dramaturgy becomes an expedition trip that catches and obliges us to listen with delicate fascination and pure euphoria. The body starts to let loose when the peak arrives. What a pleasure not being able to escape. DeWalta has put his hands on this profound original material and made two reworks of it. His Background Be Private Remix is wandering deep in a dynamik soundroom, with little sounds making a walk full of light. Are there bells? A synthesizer? When the atmosphere changes, like clouds stealing the sun, the strings condensed like lava make the gravity more intense. We are walking in dubs and the feet feel heavier. Timeless Thing. A traverse flute blows in the wind and becomes a voice. It's not whispering. It's a slightly open mouth telling and seducing. " It's this timeless thing everyone talked about". Warm pleasure fills the room. Confusion, then dancing again, house. We decide to follow this man that hides somewhere with an instrument. Is he carrying the timeless thing? The digital rework from DeWalta is the second variation for "Background Be". It becomes more free, more chaotic, frenetic, faster and seems to be tracking something. Strings call and warn us, attention... The music changed you.
