Ikävä Pii’s vinyl debut is a collection of three original songs, complemented with two recent remixes by Arif and Monty DJ. The three original works (Palau Figment, Rampage and La Conga Di Corto) are some of Ikävä Pii’s early productions – but were recovered in London between 2020 and 2021, to be released on Flippen Disks. Opener Palau Figment is a dive into a non-chronological sonic archive, a reluctant visit of a time past. Its saturated, driving drum machine beat is hesitantly accompanied by floating synthesizer play and takes us right into dream-land, grounded by a mono bass line that throughout the song is joined by a doubling replica in stereo - a memory of itself if you will; A nostalgic narrative told by a hardly comprehensible voice, while “Rampage” does a good job shredding it it right up, exposing the distortion of memory in its growing destruction of it’s driving force, the synthesized string sound that is eventually rendered nearly unrecognizable.This painful process of acknowledgement finds its cathartic reconciliation on the flip. “La Conga di Corto” combines the tropes of the A-side into an ecstatic 5 minutes of loopy, shifty drums and broken up synthesizers. Arif’s Woo Reduction keeps it’s titles promise, taking few elements from the original track into a minimal club track that will make dancefloors pause and bounce alike. Monty DJ’s Transformation Dub is a much less minimalistic approach, stacking layers of percussion on top of each other, shifting form constantly.

The fifth release of Lyon's imprint Blue Night Jungle welcomes a powerfully rising artist that have been close to the label for a long time now. Operating a wild blend between his lebanese origins and influences and his love for slow tempo and heavy EBM tracks, Arabian Panther is a promising producer of the newcoming french electronic scene, assuming a dark anonymousness behind a keffieh he never leaves. He delivers here 4 strong tunes inspired by traditionnel arabic musics, the love of Middle-eastern cultures and the necessity of empowering women over there. "Heart Filled With Sand" is his very first EP to be released.

For the third installment of Chat Noir Tools, we’re heading to the south of France, in Marseille where Jo’z quietly crafted his art since nearly adecade. It’s a great pleasure to release his very first solo EP called Débord Discal loaded with 4 amazing tracks. The record is divided in 2 parts, the A side contains two amazingly effective tracks crafted for the dancefloor. Jo’z has successfully find his way between different styles to create his very own sound. On the B side, he shows us a different part of his work with some breakbeat tracks with influences from the UK and even some trancy elements. We bet this record will find a way in a lot of Dj bags and will stay in it for a while ! C’est le sang !
