dear sound explorers, here we are again
Bakshish Music presents its first adventure on the dancefloor.
Hanfstengel : The Green Shift
These days there is nothing more generic than the techno tag.
It could be anything from a blasting dancefloor hit to cheesy tech-house for ibiza discobars.
We are not that trendy … Hanfstengel is stoner techno … to dance in the house while you tidy up … or when you are too stoned to go out.
A deep and warm techno base with a topping of ethnic percussions and acoustic flavours … to be served in a chilled atmosphere with a sip of absinthe. As a special treat the very soft space-tech-dub opening track “The Whale”, and the closing track “Big Fish”, a well thought blend of acous-tech. Read the rest of this entry »
and this is a mix I just did with all the tracks from Master Margherita : MPC.
heavily dubbed, vocoded and phased…a live take plus some edits…in Ableton.

bakshish music presents a new adventure in sound :
mauxuam : wiggly bytes (download)
A collection of alternative mixes and previously unreleased tracks (apart of “after b4″ previously included in the comp “Future Memories” by Interchill Records), recorded and mixed between 2005 and 2007 and just remastered.
Guests on this release are Shiranami, Housemaker, Craig Organismic and Greg Hunter.
Wiggly music out of the grid of the usual tags…slow funky heavy beats layered with intense dark atmospheres and dubtronic echoes…a free range electronica without boundaries that explores soundscapes out of the map.
Uncertain futures, infinite possibilities, a multifaced raw reality escaping scientific glossy reason, there is no right choice and sometime the wrong way brings you to the right place in time….just before the announced apocalypse.
mauxuam is an experienced space navigator who lost his way home, a global gipsy and an unpredictable manouvrer.
He has been turning knobs and tweaking sounds for the past 25 years on many diverse and obscure projects.
He released the “controversial” album Viceversa in 2008 for Interchill Records (one of the best albums of that year for Mix Master Morris), and he is currently working on the online project Cloudcycle in collaboration with Greg Hunter and Master Margherita. Together with them he founded the collective Bakshish Music.

bakshish music presents another brave sonic journey :
shish003 – lingua lustra : ijatevuvun (download)
Some say language is a virus, some say it’s telepathy or maybe it is the exchange of pure bliss!
Bakshish’s dedicated crew now offers you, dedicated listeners, a sonic glimpse of psychic communication.
Sounds grow out of silence without breaking it, delicate atmospheres unfold, sometimes tense, sometimes soothing,
a story without words, a movie with eyes closed.
So here it is, a new jewel rolling out of the universal horn of plenty, a nightly, quiet, atmospheric one,
no need to drop acid here, the music will do it for you !
Lingua Lustra hails from Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Based in Holland and spending two years in England, Al Borkent’s musical activities span over the last 20 years. Being inspired by the likes of Tangerine Dream and Arvo Part among others, Al’s first group was Tookay as a singer and keyboardist of this four piece band, performing their own original material. Tookay shared considerable success in the Dutch midlands. Numerous bands followed, with Albert doing lead vocals, synths, or both.
After attending and dropping artschool mid-way, Albert was playing the keys in a new wave group called Voix Du Coeur which draw a lot of attention in the lowlands capital.
After an long period of creative activities in all kinds of experimental bands (among other projects there was a 7 piece band called Tingalumi and a squat group called MOV) up to the 90′s, Albert started an ambient-project called QAT, releasing mostly cassettes.
This period of ambient experimentation and experience, gave direction to the release of two ambient albums, under the Lingua Lustra moniker, on the Dutch label Practising Nature.
In 2009 Extramunda appears on Databloem, this is a collection of further evolved L.L. tracks. And in 2010 Desert Island appears on his own label Spherical Records ; a psychedelic mind-movie exploring new territory.
Albert is also recording as Sol for the new Athens based label Electronic Soundscapes.
