Dreamy synth songs for island trips and dark club nights - Nous'klaer presents their first various artists compilation. It started out as a plan for a small summer sampler with 4 tracks, but turned into a 3x12" compilation with 12 tracks by all label regulars and new artists.
Upsammy opens the compilation with her beautiful ambient cut Wish I Could Still... The song title sums up Paerels perfectly: Bringing back to life memories of a beautiful past, with songs we have danced to on so many nights and mornings. Upsammy's debut tracks are among the most recent tracks of the compilation, but perhaps they encompass the nostalgic feel the best.
After releasing a handful of edits and remixes over the past years, Oceanic presents a new original named Drums (Instrumental) - and it sounds as fresh as ever. Oceanic spent a year in Berlin working at Oskar Offermann's White office. That same period Benedikt Frey worked there and recorded a liveset for said label together with David Georgos Koulakiotis under their moniker VtotheD. This cut, called Okay, is now released on Paerels.
B1 Garrol is another debut, by the young Amsterdam based producer Melatonin Man. He operates under multiple monikers, and more music is to follow from him on Nous'klaer. The B2 brings Arif's Gegenzauber finally out in the open. It was recorded in 2010 during his DJ time with Robert Bergman, Luc Mast, Job Jobse, Andrei Vilcov and later Job Oberman - to illustrate the countless stages Gegenzauber soundtracked. We never really stopped playing this tune though and I'm incredibly happy it's part of the Paerels.
The C-side sees the two most recent tunes. Ori by Mattheis, the natural follow up to his single-sided release Osi from last year, sees him steering more and more towards techno waters. Around the same time we started Nous'klaer, a few great guys of like mind started Lackrec. Over the years they became great friends and I'm thrilled SBC aka D-IX gave us his 10min Prisma trip for the compilation.
A. Vollmer is a pseudonym from a Rotterdam based producer very close to Nous'klaer. It's also an oldy, made around 2008. Hidro is cut at 45 rpm so it can (and should!) be played at 156 and 115bpm.
I can't think of an artist I've played more tracks from than The Invariants over the last year. His Hubris and the Systematic I/II will be released on his own label later this year (TI004!). First, the dazzling Trance Mix of Hubris and the Systematic II will be released here as E1. Upsammy is featured with two tracks on the compilation. A Picture of U's beat and melody bubbles up, coming up for air and a peek into what will come.
The F-side and closing side of the compilation brings two more tracks from around 2010. The Void, by Nous'klaer mainstay Paul Twin, is a classic Paul Twin track reminiscent of his anthemic White Island.
Last but not least, really couldn't be more true in this case, No Orbit. A track written by Wesley Matsell that haunted me and fellow ravers during that period. Now fashionably late released under his new Morlais Signals moniker. But is it ever really too late?
