Project: Mooncircle – calderas of mind

Co-operations

12", botanica del jibaro, CD, cooperations, Project Monncircle, vinyl, XNDL

A collaboration between Miami’s Botanica Del Jibaro and Dresden’s Mooncircle Project, the music on Calderas Of Mind brings together a vast array of artists from around the globe – with the likes of Soarse Spoken, Manuvers, Soloman Spectrum, Epstein, Seven Star, Serum, Miles, Livee’, and Climber, all popping up to add texture to the sound.

Underwired throughout with a light and buoyant sound, at no point on ‚Calderas Of Mind‘ does the music become soporific – preferring instead to keep the hip-hop ticking along with a smile on its face through a smatter of peachy rhymes. Brimming with Summery intent, this is the sound of bbq’s and lazy evenings, all topped off by a blush of sunburn…

XNDL contributed a track called „still there“ that was on the CD-Version (enhanced Digipack) of this Album.

Elektrojudas & XNDL – split 12″ Vinyl

24. Januar 2023 by T B

COGNITIVE*DEFECT REC.

12", Digital, Elektrojudas, vinyl, XNDL

For years, the work of elektrojudas released on Attenuation Circuit has been linking the drone/ambient flavour of the label to more dance-oriented styles of electronic music.

On this split LP featuring four tracks by elektrojudas and three by his long-time musical companion XNDL, the two collaborators give an impressive insight into the hidden kinship between abstract instrumental hip hop and drone electronica.

XNDL has been active since 1998 in musical styles from hip hop to drum’n’bass as a DJ, producer, and engineer, working with artists such as Anticon, Botanica Del Jibaro, Shapeshifters, Plague Language,Mism, Postrap and many others. On his own record label Subversiv*Rec, he published some 45 releases by underground/abstract hip-hop acts.

This LP is co-released with his current publishing outlet, cognitive*defect.

This split release marks a new step in the ongoing artistic collaboration of XNDL with elektrojudas. Both sides of the vinyl are unified by mid- to downtempo beats with a rather relaxed feel. Dreamy piano chords sometimes make you think that this could be a nice
chill-out album.

But then you turn the record over, and suddenly jarring, guitar-like distortion and high-pitched oscillators change the atmosphere.

Things do not get faster, but the tension rises … until it is resolved again. An exciting sonic journey that showcases one of the many paths of musical innovation in the hip-hop tradition, and an admirably consistent approach shared by the two artists.
