Waterflower // Pārvērties feat. Lost Harbours on .: NOVA MUSIC blog
Pārvērties, by Waterflower featuring Lost Harbours, is a resonant and profound journey in the folds of the roots of humanity, so distant and so close to our being, of today itself.

Joe Murray reviews Lost Harbours "In The Direction Of The Sun" for Radio Free Midwich
Insurgent Souls Best of 2014 Part 1
Best of 2014 Part 1
We kick off our 2-part end of year review with this selection of fantastic tunes, all available for your listening pleasure over on our Mixcloud.
40. Hitaus Becoming Little is known about Hiatus, but judging by his productions, he's a melancholy character with an awful lot of heart. Max Cooper's remix of Third was our 5th favourite track of 2012, whilst Becoming was his finest moment in 2014 - one that's available here as a free download!
39. Now Smear Test Now create "catchy, contemporary, inventive, exotic, melodious, messy, harmonious and disharmonious 21st century experimental pop music." This Krautrock beast is taken from this year's (mostly) instrumental album Irreversible Sound Adjustment.
38. Jamie Isaac She Dried House Anxiety / Marathon Artists Jamie Isaac makes haunting, piano-led torch songs that touch on experimental ambient and dub. This track, taken from the Blue Break EP, ably demonstrates his style and sound and created a big buzz as we eagerly awaited its release last winter.
37. Rumour Cubes A Homecoming This band are no strangers to our chart, having made number 2 in 2012. This tune, taken from their 2nd album Appearances Of Collections, is a melodic offering with a fantastic build up. It's also unusually funky in places! The band played a brilliant headline set at Insurgent Souls Live, back in April.
36. Sasha Carassi Tale Of Memories Bedrock What is it with Neapolitan techno? Another artist from Italy's great musical city provides a symphony of brilliant beats and basslines - not as tough as much of his output, but a real standout track.
35. Egokind Diamond Days Traum Schallplatten Inspired by Eliot Smith and Nirvana, Four Tet and James Holden, Berliner Egokind teamed up with Ozean to release a fantastic debut album this year on Traum. Alongside a couple of head-turning EPs, his penchant for organic sounds, deep house and hummable melodies really struck a chord in 2014. The backwards guitar and catchy vocal propelled this track into our top 40.
34. Maher Daniel A Call From Within (Martin Buttrich dub) No19 Music Alongside producers such as Luca Bacchetti, Maher Daniel's picking up a reputation for deep house tracks that take the listener on a journey. The starry-eyed wonder of his original is paired with tough beats and layers of bass, thanks to Martin Buttrich's unrivalled studio know-how.
33. Hilary Woods My Daughter, My Gold Formerly bassist with JJ72, Hilary's sound as a solo artist is delicate, beautiful and full of depth. This track is taken from her EP Night. It's also worth noting that Hilary is a distracting live artist - we highly recommend seeing her live if you get the chance.
32. We Need Cracks Cers Traum Scallpatten Taken from the Windrose EP, Cers is a pastoral piece that places an emphasis on birdsong over basslines. In spite of this, it also packs a mighty punch on a dancefloor... we love tunes with that dual appeal.
31. Erphun Breathe Me In Brood Audio Erphun specialises in dark, seedy techno and this track from his album Primary Apex is no exception. The video is as foreboding as the track itself. Erphun's Brood Audio stable were also behind a fantastic showcase at Kaos this summer.
30. Raw District Ft Ellipsis Ragged Star (John Wink Rethink Pt1) Crosstown Rebels This banging track has induced much fist-punching this year. The breakdowns get weirder each time, with percussion and bleepy synths adding to a distorted, freaky, timestretched vocal. After each iteration, of course, comes the beat, and what a beat it is!
29. Lachrylic Facet Rednetic Another appearance from Stuart Bowditch in our chart, this time under his Lachrylic alias. Using only sounds from the previous Lachrylic release, Bowditch crafted an electronic album that's heavily influenced by bass music and the fuzzy, metallic Facet is a standout. Read Cloud's review of the album here.
28. Tangerine Dream Power Of The Rainbow Serpent Eastgate Welcoming Ulrich Schnauss into their ranks in 2014 ensured it was a fine year for the German sequencer pioneers. Mala Kunia, their final release of another prolific year, saw the young shoegazer join Edgar Froese on compositional duties. Yet we've plumped for Thorsten Quaeschning's Power Of The Rainbow Serpent from this record - a reminder that there's an awful lot of talent within this new line-up of TD.
27. Vince Watson Magma Bedrock Vince Watson's Magma doesn't really do a great deal. It doesn't really need to, as the sparse elements that make up the tune are each so exquisite. Watson is an experienced producer with a lot of strings to his bow. 26. Solee Lost Boxer Recordings Any tune that inspires its own dance (performed regularly at Cloudlands) HAS to end up in the end-of-year chart. This is progressive house music with attitude, and not afraid to show off a big 80s influence.
25. Moderat Bad Kingdom (Robag's 4_4 Edit Mit Xomlopp RMX Schwanz-014) Monkeytown Moderat's Bad Kingdom, a melancholy piece from 2013, already boasted a stunning remix from Marcel Dettmann before the start of the year. DJ Koze and Robag Wruhme both gave us fresh takes on the tune in 2014. Whilst both interpretations invigorate a well-known original, we've chosen Wruhme's 10 minute mouthful of a remix for our chart.
24. Alan Fitzpatrick Memories Of A Time Once Past But Long Forgotten Cocoon Title of the year goes to Alan Fitzpatrick. The Southampton producer had a stellar year in 2014, and we could have opted for his Trus'me remix, the bright synth tones of For Fear Tonight Is All, or the old-skool flavours of Truant, the A-side of this string-laden, understated techno tune.
23. Goat Gathering Of Ancient Tribes Rocket Recordings Goat created an entire mythology on World Music and built on this with Commune, their 2nd LP. The psychedelic tone of this tune made it a standout on an assured and accomplished record that sounded like nothing else out there.
22. Luigi Tozzi Chemosynthesis (Claudio PRC Remix) Hypnus Hypnus was founded at the end of 2013. The label favours esoteric techno and Luigi Tozzi set the standard with the Deep Blue EP - deep, submerged electronica.
21. Lost Harbours Portal Liminal Noise Tapes Lost Harbours' Into The Failing Light married experimental folk with drone. The duo have picked up fans from Julian Cope through to anyone who saw their turn at Insurgent Souls Live, and Portal is a 12 minute track that takes in picked guitar and walls of feedback.
Remaining acts confirmed for Insurgent Souls Live + COMPETITION!
We're very pleased to announce the last two names on our stellar line-up on 24th April:
Jose Macabra - DJ set Jose is extremely talented and something of a Renaissance man: performance artist, sound designer, improvised noise creator, teknoize producer, a beguiling solo live act and a thrilling DJ. Jose's regularly performs at the best queer techno events in London and Berlin, guesting at Kaos and Sabotage, and having been an instrumental part of Antagony and Behind Bars. His sets mix audio innovation with bone crunching, brutal beats, and we're confident his closing set will send ripples out across the Thames powerful enough to trouble the brickwork of the House of Commons, just across the water. https://soundcloud.com/josemacabra
Lost Harbours - live set Lost Harbours are a 2 piece duo who adeptly mix folk, ambient and experimental strains in their recorded output. Their live set is dark yet delicate, highly atmospheric whilst completely engaging, with virtuoso picked guitar a highlight. Their music is pastoral and psychological, and I've always heard an aquatic, or at least coastal, element to their sound. They're hence the ideal band to open our night and are perfectly suited to performing on the river. https://soundcloud.com/lostharbours
£2 tickets are still available; please head over to http://www.wegottickets.com/event/263087#.UzAul_l_vTo to snap these up before it's too late.
We're also now on Resident Advisor - http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?573569
We're encouraging fans to register as "confirmed" on RA by offering a limited edition run of 10 exclusive C&O hand designed CD packages to the first 10 people to confirm. You'll need to be a member of the site in order to do so, but joining takes very little time indeed!
