Lutto Lento – Prima Porta

Lubomir Grzelak is a staple of the new Polish underground scene, running one of the first cassette experimental-electronics labels in Central/Eastern Europe Sangoplasmo (you can listen to our Radio Wave interview with the man here), which with its thirty releases has cemented its position as one of the leading hallmarks of strange sonics in this region. Lubomir, based in Warsaw, apart from running the label, is also a producer and DJ in his own right.

Dwutysięczny: The Sonic Silkworm

Dwutysięczny, a Polish quartet shrouded in mystery, is releasing its first album before the end of August via Sangoplasmo Records. I asked one of the members, for the time being identified as RD, if that enigmatic aura surrounding the quartet was created consciously from the beginning: “Yes, but it was the result of our awareness that people tend to take hints from the names of involved musicians before even listening to the music.

Lutto Lento Another Polish project belongs to the boss of the idiosyncratic Sangoplasmo label, the tape imprint that has carved its niche over the few years of its existence with quirky, outthere sounds by local as well as international artists, including Ensemble Economique or Decimus.

Sangoplasmo’s Autumn Tapes /Lutto Lento, Suaves Figures, The Phantom/

Short Introduction on Synthesizers Today After experiencing such records as Lunar Miasma’s Impermanent Nature, Negative Fascination by Silent Servant, Ghostrider’s Voices or batch of Panabrite’s releases it’s getting clear that 2012 is a year of synthesizers. They’ve become an excellent substitution for guitars – they aren’t kitschy anymore, they transformed from nerdy toys into tools of romanticism, poetry or even mysticism.

Katapulto – Bad Tourist /AMDISCS, 2012/

Wojtek Rusin aka Katapulto has had an intriguing music development, to say the least. From experimental pieces injected with a dose of cabaretism, to conceptual pieces and theatre work - and that great cassette for Sangoplasmo called Animalia.

The Polish in Exile

Today we would like to introduce a few Polish underground artists who are underrated or even unknown in their own country, but definitely worth the attention. They play experimental music and stay out of mainstream.

Sangoplasmo summer sounds

Following their lofi electronics spring installment, featuring the likes of Ensemble Economique or Decimus, this time the Polish label returns with a summer selection that features artists from their home turf, as well as the cultish K Salvatore aka Jason Meagher and Pat Murano. Sound-wise it follows in a more experimental, avantgardish vein.

Sangoplasmo’s spring offering: Ensemble Economique, Bartek Kujawski or Decimus

The Poznan-based etno-savagist label with a penchant for esoteric, bona fide strange sounds and projects follows up their winter installment of tapes featuring Burial Hex or Felicia Atkinson with four spring plastic beauties. Aside from up-and-coming Polish and Eastern European artists, Sangoplasmo has also increasingly focused on presenting the works of established musicians such as genuinely strange Aranos (whose release symptomatically inaugurated the label).

Angry Markets by Katapulto

Wojtek Rusin aka Katapulto lives in Bristol and creates synth-based songs (engendered from his previous exotic, excentric sonic guise). We loved his Animalia tape (on Sangoplasmo) and there’s more to come courtesy of Katapulto vs Easterndaze but more on that later:) Wojtek also makes the visual accompaniment to his music.

It’s 2012 release schedule starts off with a bang - with no less than 4 tapes.

Sangoplasmo embraces the weird and dance

The ever brilliant Polish label Sangoplasmo focuses on the outthere spectrum of electronic music, mostly drone and ambient and wyrd electronica, but its recent releases demonstrate a direction into more rhythm-based genres such as “techno” and percussion. Although in their guise, its more the weird, grainy, cosmic kind.
