Product description:
To help celebrate their two year anniversary, remix the Balearic sounds of the mysterious label from Uruguay: International Feel. Combine instrumental loops, playful vocals, slo-mo drum & percussion loops and mercury infused basslines, straight from the shores of Vesuvius.
Remiix International Feel is an interactive record, a 2011 version of Brian Eno’s ‘Generative Music’. You mean you’re still listening to the same record over and over again?! It’s also a perfect DJ tool, containing six tracks (and their component parts) from the label’s roster, presented in an interactive format. The songs are all automatically beat-matched and repitched in key.
The range of sounds is tantalising, especially considering you can really isolate and pick out your favorite combinations. Some standouts include the bassline from “Next To You” – a long loop that turns around with syncopated leaps in the melody, the vocals from “Moving” – smooth house/disco loops that could add a sensual flavor to any mix, or the epic guitars from “Illuminations” – sitting comfortably between disco and early prog rock.
Remiix International Feel includes effects specially tailored to suit the sounds from the label. The first, RVB, simulates early analog plate reverb effects. The other is called the WAH and it lets you add subtle or drastic Leslie rotating speaker effects. You’ll recognise the sound as a throwback to the time of 70s disco and electric pianos.
Over the past 12 months International Feel has released tracks and remixes by DJ Harvey, Daniele Baldelli, Still Going, Greg Wilson, Joakim, Quiet Village and many others, as well as breaking new artists like Rocha and Hungry Ghost. This year has also seen acclaimed album releases from Gatto Fritto and DJ Harvey’s Locussolus project (from which two tracks are included on this version of Remiix).
Says label boss Mark B: “International Feel is based in Punta Del Este on Uruguay’s Atlantic Coast. The label came into existence to create a home for open minded music heads driven by 100% passion and perfection in everything we do. Whether it be the music itself or the vinyl cut… the artwork or the remixes, we strive to create pieces of music and artwork that play with expectations, never drop the quality and become desirable and collectable items of timeless beauty.”
Tracklist:
Hungry Ghost – Illuminations
Bubble Club – The Goddess
Rocha – Hands Of Love
Locussolus – Next To You
Coyote – Moving
Locussolus – I Want It

Real-Time Granular Synthesis Meets iPad
ApeSoft iDensity is designed for asynchronous sound file granulation, offering iPad users a genuine granular playground able to generate a wide range of effects, from common to downright weird. These effects include time / pitch shifting, time / pitch jittering, intricate textures, grain fountain / pulverizer, recording and manipulation of buffers, complex scrub pad exploration, dynamic envelope shaping, and many more.
As apeSoft notes, iDensity for iPad will give you all the basic and advanced tools you need to manipulate sound in subtle and surprising ways. All these features are packed in an optimized, user-friendly, visually sharp interface that is easy to access when improvising live, composing in a studio, or sound designing at home and on the go.
The iDensity app allows you to record audio directly with your iPad mic and load up to nine built-in sound samples or add your own WAV, AIFF, CAF, MP3, M4A or MP3 files via iTunes. Moreover, iDensity makes it possible to record the stereo output (of granulation) into the documents folder while scrubbing in the wavepad or moving granulation parameters in real-time. The mixdown / audio results can then be synchronized with iTunes.
iDensity features at a glance:
