Ain Soph Aur feat. Anji Bee on Internet Archive FREE
An extremely rare recording of an experimental gothic industrial noise project from the mid 90’s featuring Anji Bee is now available for free streaming or download on the Internet Archive. The Long Beach based group, called Ain Soph Aur, was formed when Bee and then partner, Justin Johnsen, met neighbor, Alan Wilkes, through a meeting of the Golden Dawn. Their mutual interests in mystery schools and dark music led to some very interesting musical collaborations. The bulk of When I See You was performed live in one session at Wilkes apartment, while “We’re Not Out Of The Woods Yet” was improvised later at Bee and Johnsen’s apartment. Several other friends collaborated on both recorded and live material with this trio over their short existence, but this particular recording is just the core group.

Aerotek & Anji Bee “My Lonely Sunset” Sneak Peek
Its no secret that Chilean trance producer, Aerotek, is a longtime fan of Bitstream Dream. He dreamed of one day working with Anji on some tunes… and 2012 is the year that dream came true! The newly formed duo have several tracks underway, with one on the brink of release via renowned UK trance label, Perceptive Recordings. Stefano, however, could not resist sharing it with the world ahead of schedule. He has featured “My Lonely Sunset” in an excellent guest mix for the Sunset Melodies vidcast on YouTube.

Lovespirals ‘Feel So Good EP’ Out
Lovespirals have just released a 40 minute, 9-track extended single of “Feel So Good,” from their 2010 album, Future Past. Last December, Sony Acid Planet held a remix contest for Lovespirals’ funky, Pink Floyd-esque, retro electro-rock tune, and over 40 producers put their own unique stamp on the original track. The Feel So Good EP features the very best of the bunch.
There’s the slinky trip hop grooves of Yumenomado’s grand prize winning “Film Noir Mix” and Noizz Factor’s jazzy “Glamour Mix,” both of which have a decidedly organic feel. Or check out the more electronic oriented mixes by DJ Chris and National Pool, who rely more on loops and classic drum machine patterns. If you’re into heavy beats, then the Electer and 7 Day Visa mixes should fit the bill. Def Men Walking took the song in a completely different direction with the addition of MC work and an old school Manchester feel. And then there’s Jack Ketch’s “Peckaries Parts 1, 2 & 3” which takes the song’s most Floydian elements and constructs an ode to the classic rock band that David Gilmour himself would likely chuckle over.
Anji Bee‘s soulful vocals hold the release together with their delicate balance of earthy sensuality and otherworldly ethereality, with each mix playing up different aspects. While some producers left the arrangement and vocal sound nearly untouched from Ryan Lum’s original mix, others played with sampling or pitch to use the voice more as a musical element.
This is a digital-only release available on most major online music stores including Bandcamp, linked below.
Thanks to all of the bands and producers that participated in the remix contest, as well as to our friend, Jamahl Richardson, for his 7 Day Visa remix. If you dig their remixes, be sure to check out their original music. Thanks also to Scott of ithinkitsnice for his amazing artwork.
