Saulk Regurk from somewhere in France. His freaky baby: Mélodiés Souterraines, a label hard to put into a pigeonhole. In his own words, "the music released on Mélodies Souterraines ranges from dark No-Tech, through IDM/abstract Electro to New-Wave, Synth Pop and very heavy psychedelic Electronic Music..." Actually we could keep on reciting Regurk´s descriptions here, because they sound quite on point.
So here’s another fun fact: "Based in a place without light, giving way to magnetic waves and black water arising from human soul ... Mélodies Souterraines welcomes the harsh side of electronic music, originating directly from cold water currents whose velocity can impact humans and make them join the depths." Amen.
While the label already mentioned is based on compilations, the latest imprint Saulk Regurk launched strictly releases albums and singles, no VA-stuff. Even though it´s called Musiques Electroniques Actuelles, you can expect music from other decades on it, too. That´s also what both labels have in common: they link the realms of past and present music.
And that is also what Regurk´s TISSUE mixtape does. It melts mainly IDM, Electro and Experimental from the 90s with current output of these genres. And of course you´ll find loads of unreal(esed) homemade stuff in the mix.
Yup, this text is deep. But it was written for a label that is quite deep, too. You might excuse the banal wording of "deepness", but it actually nails it. How deep is your love? Well … As deep as you can dig.
