IFEEL 025EP
|
A compilation: 36 months, 36 releases. A line in the sand. A nervous breakdown. A move to Ibiza. A re-inspiration via the pitch slider and radiophonic folklore, a freedom from choice: one oscillator, one filter, one ADSR. The Sonic Aesthetic: a blog, a release, a hypnotic state.

IFEEL 024CD
|
Established in 2009, International Feel is one of the most prominent and respected labels releasing Balearic-infused disco and house. The label's output has included a steady flow of in-demand 12 inches from the likes of DJ Harvey (under his alias Locussolus), Rocha, Bubble Club, and Bepu N'Gali. This double CD compiles tracks previously-released on vinyl, plus exclusive previously-unreleased cuts. And it's true, the label is actually based in Uruguay. Other artists featured are: Gatto Fritto, Maxxi & Zeus, Flights Of Fancy, International Peoples Gang, Coyote, Tim Love Lee, Parada 88, Gonno, IFEEL Studio, Andrew Weatherall, Boys From Patagonia, The Globe and Hungry Ghost. "Three years ago, before signing Harvey, before those ultra-limited white labels, before anything, there was just one track that I couldn't find a deal for. International Feel was born out of this frustration and the determination to do things in a certain way, with a certain aesthetic, to create real, tactile 'things' of lasting quality in a binary world. Now, after 36 releases, I've largely achieved what I set out to do and this compilation is a time capsule of those original aims, together with the desire to say thank you to everyone who's supported us, by putting all the limited/hard to get bits 'n' bobs in one place (with a few unreleased gems as well), to act as a introduction to the label for newcomers and finally (and probably most importantly), to make a great Balearic (un)mix(ed) tape. I've no idea what's next, as this kind of draws a line under everything we've achieved so far, so maybe its time to go away for a while and get re-inspired, but I do know this: there is a lot of work for love still to do, so this isn't the end, maybe just the end of the beginning. Love and thanks to all of you, whoever and wherever you are." --Mark B, La Barra, Uruguay, May 2012.

Locussolus are DJ Harvey, Sam Fox and Tara Selleck, ably assisted by Josh Marcy. Their first album was acclaimed and lauded as well as being included in many of 2011's "Best Of" lists. This is the sound of Malibu meeting The Eastern Block. "Berghain" is a song named after the Berlin club. "Telephone" is Locussolus having a good time. A fun, irreverent pop-disco boogie FM radio hit that never happened, happening. 2nd pressing forthcoming, regular weight vinyl, generic sleeve.

IFEEL 022A-EP
|
Bepu N'Gali was born in Gaborone (the capital of Botswana). He spent most of his childhood traveling around Africa, including a lengthy spell in Lagos, where he fell in love with Afrobeat. He put together a "house band" and set out to play as many gigs as possible. A lot of these gigs became glorified jam sessions and "I Travel To You" is an edited down version of one such session. Includes a remix by Todd Terje.

IFEEL 020EP
|
Davide Armour and Philippe Mascerano aka Boys From Patagonia are cousins, joined together by their love of vintage synthesizers, tacky Italian nightclubs and San Remo-tinged pop. Here are two seductively hypnotizing tracks that reference all the best bits of Italian pop and Balearic culture, starting with the robust, slow-mo synth brass of "Rimini '80" and followed by the cheeky pan flute boogie porn of "It's So Exciting." Artwork design by Phantom. Housed in deluxe packaging and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

IFEEL 019EP
|
London summer 2011 -- the fires rage, the mobs pillage, the politicians dawdle and tucked away in a small oasis somewhere in Hackney, Dan Keeling beavers away on new Bubble Club material. The title track meshes intricate production, euphoric melody and block-rocking beats (and a slide guitar). "Ex-Voto" is what happens when Vangelis visits Paris, Texas and the mysterious "Seven Hills" completes the package with its Juan Atkins/electro spy-theme feel. Complete with deluxe packaging and 180 gram vinyl.

Flights Of Fancy Vol. 1 is the start of a new series showcasing what Balearic sounds like. Yeah, yeah, the whole (supposed) point of Balearic music is that it can be anything as long as it's good, but like most things, that means something different to every person, so in simple terms, this is what Balearic sounds like to the folks at International Feel. Throw in a small portion of cheese, some "cannibals 'bout to eat you" percussion/mad chanting, and you're there.

IFEEL 017EP
|
Mind Fair is the psychedelic folk-rock brainchild of Dean Meredith (Chicken Lips, Goat Dance and The Rhythm Odyssey) and Ben Shenton. It's time for some Armenian-influenced disco, courtesy of "Kerry's Scene," a marriage of Shenton's loose instrumentation and harmonica fixation and Meredith's distinctive production styles (with a Moog solo from The Climax Blues Bands' Derek Holt). Add to this two deep remixes from Legowelt and Theo Parrish and you know you've got something very special on your hands.
