The Mole discusses new EP, 'High Dreams'

New music by The Mole. High Dreams contains four tracks, three originals and one remix from Circus Company favourite Dave Aju. The Mole savours dreaming and welcomes the mystical landscapes of the mind with High Dreams, a collection of uptempo dance pieces inhabited by ghosts and welcoming creatures from the deeps. This unpretentious collection cuts straight with the rhythms, and carries long with the arrangements. Dancefloor sizzle. Subsonic rumble. Ghosts! Your body moving requisites lie within this simple plate of wax. Turn up your amps and bathe in it.

The Mole is known for his “hits” (Baby You’re The One, Hippy Speedball, In My Song, Lockdown Party) and his “work” with many Top labels (Perlon, Kompakt, Wagon Repair, Maybe Tomorrow, Ostgut Ton) is played by many Top DJs. Only his third release with Circus Company (Little Sunshine, The River Widens), this Ep is a reminder that the Mole is still at it, and a warning. There’s a new album upcoming. And it sounds nothing like this…

With his 19th release with the label since 2003, Dave Aju is one of the pillars of modern Circus Company. Aju amplifies Losing Track, adding percussion and fresh, modern programming, giving the remix a whole new purpose while maintaining the erie cries, calling out, desperate - don’t leave me hang ’n … of the original. A certain go to for the Deep Heads.

The normally elusive creature, The Mole talks us through each track from the EP with his unique insight…

Losing Track

"You Are Not The One"

I'm writing these in time with the music..

Joan Rivers shouting out a TV reporter who was being devious, asking mean spirited questions. Joan -Power- ends the interview - You are not the one to be interviewing me!

And Joni Mitchel describing the genesis of some art.

What remains? Wishful thinking. Don't leave me hanging on. Black Ivory. In a way I was stuck with these voices. Everything was bounced down. Some processes possess.

Wishful Thinking. Is it light and dark? I hope for the light. Is this Art? Practice and repetition. Intention! They didn't pay me to write ! I don't practice to write.

Climber's Pit

Lucia Berlin resisting the old school way of coming up. Living in different places. I visited her village in Mexico. Beautiful. I never want to visit her grandfather's shed though. Teeth!

Barry White.

Joli B ! Crushing the keys. So much put a spell.

J.B. noticed my first kick was missing its front. Half a kick to start a song. The back half. Never did fix it. Just adding and adding stuff.

Emaxx!

The vibes (the instrument) in Danuel's house. His robot making noise in the hall.

Are these songs the same ?

Dave Aju Remix !!

The Bomb!

I wish mine sounded as good

Dang

Youandthekitten

Voices. Someone asked me this weekend what this sound was. Voices. Heavily treated voices. In fact there's a lot of them in this one. Nice mix of samples and synths. Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young. Same as Joe and The Indian. Youandthekitten, it's a chant, but it's a sad chant. Left home again, youandthekitten, what are you going to do? Go down to the Brick Hut. Mary Watkins, Something Moving at the Brick Hut. So simple but.. it keeps rolling
