“Incantation” c30
by Stricknice
"I had this crazy dream last night where all these musicians from different times and eras were in a small town where I was stuck. Some were collaborating and playing strange music and I recognized more and more of them from old records and such. "I asked the bartender, 'Who are these people?' "He said, 'I thought you brought them here.' "I woke up and thought it was some sort of strange incantation from sampling all these fools together. And where was there lawyer because I was in big trouble."

“HOST” c30
by DJ DJ TANNER
“HOST” marks the tenth solo release on Warm Gospel for the 515-based 303 wizard, DJ DJ TANNER, and it doesn’t look like his prolificacy will be slowing down. You should see the guy’s to-be-sampled stacks. He actually had to move into a new place because his old room wasn’t big enough to allow an area to actually live between the piles of records and cassette tapes. Unlike previous albums like “GANGSTER” or “FOOL”, “HOST” carries itself with a near-vapor light-heartedness. Hip-hop experimentation gives way to soft loops from fistfuls of 80’s and 90’s thrift-store fluff. The repetition invites the listener to listen past the pop music tropes and consider the hands responsible for even the most mass-produced musical trash filling the rickety shelves of secondhand stores across the Midwest.

“Circles” c24
by False Tropics
Call it getting older, but lounge music just keeps sounding better and better. Between the pools of experimental music quicksand swirled throughout the internet and the commercialized pop of FM radio which pours from the speakers at work, it’s nice to hear something minimal and calm every now and again. Soft drums tap with the swing of actual drum sticks in calloused but smooth-moving human hands. The drops are more like trips, making you nod your head rather than shake your hips. Melody lines make their way through your head, but they don’t get stuck there like ticks in your hair after a bit of greenway. The loops on "Circles" set the mood rather than demand your attention. The beats flutter like the opposite of “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Conscientious objector hip hop. Listen to it on a tape player that switches sides for you automatically and kick back as you comfortably lose your place in it.

“Drums & Hums (D&H)”
by Skyscraper
Drums and Hums. The idea started out as a mixtape I was going to make for a friend. The A side was going to be filled with examples of songs with big-sounding drums from the early 60s, and the B side was going to be a bunch of religious music. But as it goes when you run your record player through a sampler, I was given the option to repurpose these old songs into a kind of transforming collage. The loops, samples, and sounds roll and fold in on each other like low-hanging fog disturbed by passing cars and pedestrians. The result is a release where the concept of the "song" gives way to a much larger piece of music resembling a soundtrack for the inevitability of time, where one can hear the slow decay of old sounds which continue to unravel and reveal new meaning to the listener through the ease of repetition. *** "At some points in Drums & Hums (D&H), it sounds as though I’m listening to exactly where Animal Collective would’ve been at this time if they kept on their Feels aesthetic, or like Ariel Pink’s Pedestrian Pop Hits enjoyable monotony. But some of these haunting samples also ring a memory of Friday nights around 9, when the streets were calming down from the activities throughout the day, and homes and shops and porches all are dimly lit, and barely murmuring music or conversations, mingling into a mountain of sound." - C Monster, Tiny Mix Tapes (Link)

“WAITRESS”
by DJ DJ TANNER
There is a waitress that I work with whose very nature adds highlights and lowlights to her otherwise mundane life. She's energetic, friendly, and a bit loopy. She always makes sure to greet me when I arrive to work a few minutes late with a genuine smile, as if it were her solely her duty to bring a little bit of excitement to the dullness of my job as a bartender. Her heightened emotions also create for her deeper valleys in which to descend. This makes her bad days into trainwrecks. She loses her innocence on these days, talking about sex and illicit drugs and complaining about customers every time she comes to the bar to pick up a drink for a table. I see this dichotomy day after day working with her. The repetition of it has become a comfort to me.

“At Least, Be Human”
by Underwater Escape from the Black Hole
Underwater Escape from the Black Hole's Mathias Timmerman releases his music primarily through his own label, 5CM Recordings. The label is also based here in Des Moines and does a lot of releases along that line of experimental electronics. I have, of course, been wanting to work with Mathias since I first saw him play at our annual Iowa noise festival, Zeitgeist. A few months ago, Mathias sent me what became this tape, "At Least, Be Human". I was thrilled. Running a music label that adheres to a somewhat specific sound/genre aesthetic, options for releases can occasionally be a bit scarce. It's rare to find someone else in your music community working so closely in the realm of music as yourself. Underwater Escape from the Black Hole employs a foreground of repurposed samples from music past over massive walls of synthetic distortion and guitar squeals. Buried drum machines root the music which breathes and grows like a balloon expanding toward bursting. It's a tense, slow build, touched only briefly with hints of sunlight through all of the clouds of ambience.

“Enchanted Museum”
by eolian mollisol
Running Warm Gospel, I've always loved the way new musicians within only a few miles of me will emerge from the woodwork. It's a testament to the accessibility of electronic music to the individual. The fact that prolific electronic musicians can exist all around us without anything more than an unadvertised Bandcamp page filled with albums also speaks to the personal and private nature of this kind of music. You can hear it in "Enchanted Museum", the first tape release for Ames, IA project eolian mollisol. The songs move through minimal electronics and signal manipulation into blown-out lo-fi lullabies. The songs all contain a sense of emptiness. Space. A kind of creation without intention or urgency. After all, "Enchanted Museum" was recorded in 2007 and is only now seeing the light of day through the curtains in the bedroom window.

Second edition of my own Skyscraper tape, K & L, now available, but I only made 10 tapes. They’re available from the Warm Gospel Bandcamp page.
I dubbed them in preparation for Arbor Fest in Fairfield, IA this week. I’m playing some beautiful sounds with Annalibera on Thursday and DJing some deeeeep bass on Friday.
I’m thinking it is going to be pretty fun, ya know?
