After a two-year hiatus from full-length album production, Parisian-born Circoloco favorite and DC10 resident DJ W!LD catapults himself back into the heady realm of studio creativity with his LP When You Feel Me, clocking in at no less than an eye-watering 27 tracks. With this aptly-named LP, W!LD demands your attention, narrating his story through a series of juxtaposing genres, and complex cuts. Heavy beats and warm vocals call as an alluring invitation, his tracks offering laidback disco-fringed grooves and gradual build-ups that portray his assiduous attention to detail, and betray a melancholic depth that bubbles consistently under the surface. The textured patterns of "Rue De Paradis" offer a nod to his Parisian underground roots, while the softer Balearic notes in "Quand Tu Te Touches" leave the listener in no doubt that W!LD has truly bared his soul. Both CDs present a tug of war between genres. W!LD blends disco with tech house before teetering on the edge of big room techno with heavyweight bass lines: "I just have a very creative flow at the moment," W!LD explains. "The current double album reflects my more housey, sexy, summer side on one part, and a darker techno sound on the other." Never lacking in creative composition, he continues to stray away from the unexpected, injecting poignant chords with the electricity he conjures on DC10's Terrace as a Circoloco resident. W!LD's career continues to flourish, and When You Feel Me brilliantly encompasses the ever-evolving sound of this enigmatic Parisian.

"Lubomyr Melnyk's debut album from 1978, KMH, is an unheralded touchstone of minimalism. Performing solo on piano with a speed that suggests multiple pianos playing together in harmony, Melnyk nearly brings out the full sound of the instrument all at once. His music is lush and maximal yet it possesses the restrained, slowly evolving nature found in music by artists like Steve Reich and Terry Riley. Melnyk developed his unique approach to minimalism while working with dancer/choreographer Carolyn Carlson (who also worked with Igor Wakhevitch) in Paris during the 1970s. Carlson's influence led Melnyk to create music that is dramatic enough for the stage yet meditative enough for deep listening, a version of minimalism with the enigmatic traces of Satie. Remastered from the privately produced master tapes with new artwork and an 8-page photo booklet."

"Lipitone was born in Paris in 1963 and studied classical piano and musical late interested moved to Jazz and it was in Paris he played with other jazzmen such as Craig Harris, Stafford James, and Buddy Colette. By 1993, he realized the potential of new sounds brought by the rise of electronic music and starts to play with sampling, looping, and detuning effects, adopting these techniques to his craft. Since, his taste for experimental developments has led him to join the TOYSUN Collective and later, he joined Frédéric Gailiano and The African Divas for two US tours, leading to his first contact with traditional African music. He is then introduced to Laurent Gamier and immediately joined his trio. Nuits Sum Ecoutes: Bougouni is a sound transcription of Mali's topography. Floating between traditional music, electronic music, ambient, and dub, Lipitone offer us a mysterious and bewitched album made of sound samples recorded at night only, in the heart of Bougouni village, Mali. This album is certainly a unique voyage into the deep African night!" Limited stock, deleted item.
