05. Rain
06. Salvador


::: ABOUT THIS RELEASE :::

" Mixing electronic sounds with world-music influences and fieldrecordings (such as Muezzin chants in Istanbul, sounds caught during a
Sufi Ceremony in the middle of the Turkish region of Kappadokia), “EPP1” is a fascinating and imaginative slow stream of electro-acoustic
melodies and sonic landscapes. A melting-pot of sounds inspired by different cultures and their representative music, which reflects the mix of cultures in modern cities.
“EPP1” is the result of a collaborative work between musicians with different backgrounds, poets, video-makers and random people met on the road.
The album has been recorded in The Brandy Alexander Project’s home studio in Brixton (London) between 2007 and 2011."
Brandy Alexander Project - september 2011

" Travels, encounters, mix of cultures and sounds, that's the story of this album, and also the kind of stories we like to tell !
EPP1 is the perfect illustration of a clever conversation between genres and eras."
LCL - september 2011

This collection of tracks from the Elephant Room Sessions is a perfect LP to chill out with during this 2011 sumer !"
LCL - july 2011

" I would define this LP as a travel diary with a " Lo-fi higrade computer Dub 2.0 " soundtrack : homestudio dub inspired by jamaican
& punk philosophy of DIY, blended with inspirations and energy stored during my excursions in Asia. This is also the result of years
sharing with a lot of other "dub activists" from around the web, the track with Leah is a good example of this process.
I call this different communities & networks "Dub 2.0"..."

::: ARTIST BIO :::

Manudub discovered DUB in the early 80’s through the punk energy from bands like The Clash, The Slits & such, which drove him to the Jamaican masters such as Prince Far I & King Tubby,Jah Shaka...
Supporter of the DIY philosophy, he builds up his home studio and begins to produce some electronic dub tracks while working at " Wax records", the indie-electronic record-shop of Marseille. Probably the best place to deepen his musical culture...
For the past 10 years, this French dub-activist has shared his vision of dub & bass culture through several radio shows on "Radio Grenouille", and played as a DJ in different venues and festivals, such as Szeiget, Air Libres and many others clubs...
Manudub also worked with several artists of the dub planet, from China to Jamaica, England to Japan…
His motto ? “No boundaries but DUB”.

::: ABOUT THIS RELEASE :::

" This EP celebrates the 5th anniversary of LCL.
5 years, 31 releases, and hundreds of thousands of downloads later, we keep the same aim : spread and connect !
The tale of LCL continues within the next chapters. Read hereafter what the instigators of this release have to narrate..."
LCL - may 2011

" Working with Ebsa is like listening to his flow, it comes natural. There are no artifices, his style and his own identity merge together - the need of spreading a message that unifies rather than dividing.
Producing the music for âFree as airâ has been equally intense and natural, where dub style had to support rap lyrics in a functional way and therefore maintain a certain level of symmetry, seeking to reveal the contrast between controlled sound power in slow motion and fast flickering, sharp lyrics.
The choice by LCL to do a release for its fifth anniversary with Free as air is source of great pride ! Through the remixes it obtains the final form it should have : an intertwining track that is a sign of mutual friendship and respect between us."
mildtape - may 2011

" When mildtape and I decided to make a song together and once he sent me the instrumental track, I wrote the lyrics for Free as Air within an hour. They came to me very easily and it felt natural.
Influences for the lyrics include: the human world, people, my life, the project itself, soundcloud.com and the LCL label.
The lyrics cover many universal themes: communication & internet, history & future, technology & nature, lyrics & music, sound system culture and the synergy that can be achieved when people âteam upâ.
Mainly written in the English language, I also used Italian and French phrases in the lyrics. This was to emphasise the notion that - though we are all from different countries, have different cultures and use different languages - all humanity is connected through music."
Ebsa - may 2011

::: ABOUT THIS RELEASE :::

" This sampler from Caballo's upcoming LP "Sonidero Evolucionario" (july 2011) is an opened window on a world that left conventions and boredom far behind. Could it be flamenco, ska, cumbia, dubstep or classical, no tags seems to be large enough to contain the energy that lies into his music. "
LCL - february 2011

" About Caballo upcoming album "Sonidero Evolucionario" : It is an extension of the sound developed by Caballo mainly as a producer, not so focused on his MC skills as Sonidero Revolucionario but more in Caballo's unique vision of Global Bass. As politically intense as the BPMs, Caballo isn't afraid to use music as a tool for social change, professing a clear anti-war, anti-globalization message in his lyrics primarily in Spanish. Deep, rumbling rhythms interlaced with socially conscious lyrics and a globally-inspired aesthetic make this album a must-hear for Global bass heads all over the world. "
Caballo - february 2011

New release on LCL netlabel : "LCLCB03 - Moolen - Art Of Heartwork" (post rock, folk, electronica)

LCL netlabel drives out of its usual "Dub and familiar" musical line to deliver a new "Carte Blanche" (the third of this serie). This Coup de Coeur is for a german musician called Moolen.

Let's visit with him post rock and electronica landscapes that seem at the same time odd and familiar. The master of both multiple instruments and sound production by this artist allows him to deliver an ambitious yet intimist mini LP, briding with success ambient fields with saturated episodes...

[FRANCAIS]

LCL sort de son habituelle ligne musicale "Dub et dérivés" pour vous présenter une nouvelle "Carte Blanche" (la troisième de la série). Ce coup de coeur est destiné à un musicien allemand nommé Moolen.

Visitez avec lui des paysages post-rock et electronica qui paraissent à la fois étranges et familiers. La maitrise à la fois de multiples instruments et de la production sonore par cet artiste lui permet de vous offrir une mini album ambitieux mais néanmoins intimiste, mariant avec succès plages ambient et épisodes distordus.

NETAUDIO Festival report - BERLIN (8-11 oct 2009)

:::ENGLISH:::

The Netaudio is not only a 4 days festival into a mythic place located in the berliner "No man's land", it is also a concentration of energies from around europe (and the rest of the world), with the aim of promoting an original concept of music thru the internet...and it works perfectly !
This year is quite symbolic because we celebrate novembre 1989, when the Berlin wall gave up under the asault of the population. It is so symbolic because nowadays, the most efficient walls are invisible and in our minds...

During saturday's "Netaudio fair", whe had the pleasure to present the new website of LCL for the first time. Later that night Volfoniq hit the "dub" stage along with Disrupt, Peak and Metastaz. A short video of Volfoniq's gig is available here (thanks to Simon Roy).

We noticed during these days we spent in Berlin that the people here have the indestructible will to change things. A huge thanks to the whole Netaudio Berlin team for their welcome, their positive energy and the titan work they done !

Check the huge collection of pics on Flickr (thanks to all the photographers!)


:::FRANCAIS:::

Le Netaudio n'est pas seulement un festival de 4 jours dans un lieu mythique situé dans le "no man's land" berlinois, c'est aussi un concentré d'énergies venues des 4 coins d'Europe (et du monde) dont le but est de promouvoir une certaine idée de la musique sur Internet...et ça fonctionne à merveille!
Cette année est symbolique puisqu'il s'agit avant-tout de commémorer le mois de novembre 1989 lors duquel le mur de Berlin à flanché sous les assauts de la population à l'heure où justement des barrières invisibles tendent à se généraliser à coup de lois pour filtrer Internet.

Lors du "Netaudio fair" le samedi, nous avons eu l'honneur de présenter LCL dans ses nouveaux habits et bien plus tard dans la nuit, Volfoniq a investi la scène "dub" aux côtés de Disrupt, Peak et Metastaz...Une courte vidéo du live de Volfoniq est disponible ici (Merci à Simon Roy).

On a pu noter lors de ces quelques jours passés à Berlin, la détermination sans faille des berlinois à vouloir changer d'ère et les choses. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du festival pour son énergie et l'ampleur du travail accompli!

Allez donc jeter un oeil à l'impressionnante collection de photos sur Flickr (merci aux photographes!)
