Eric Umble is a versatile artist based in Brooklyn, known for his skills in sound art, clarinet, DJing, and event production. He has a classical music background and a passion for experimental sounds, which inspired his transition to DJing. Eric is also the co-founder, lead producer, and resident of FACETIME, a community-based platform that promotes music, dance, and visual art through events in NYC and beyond. He is a regular performer at various venues in New York, offering an eclectic blend of driving, hypnotic, uplifting, melodic, and groovy beats that never fail to mesmerize his audience.

The mix features minimal, driving, and loopy techno tracks that intensify the uplifting and melodic elements. Eric incorporates disco and house elements, using acapella vocal loops to enhance the minimal material. He mixed with two CDJs, keeping the energy high with a fast style and exploring slower tracks at higher speeds. The recording was a single take, intentionally raw and unpolished, showcasing the energy that resulted from taking risks.

With your classical background, what do you think are some elements that are similar between techno and classical music?
"On a personal note, my entire musical life has been a journey of honing into the spaces where I felt seen, supported, actualized, and safe. This started with an interest in clarinet as a closeted queer kid growing up in a Mennonite family in PA. I didn't have language to process my experience as a queer person, and clarinet gave me a method to communicate beyond words, along with a community. Discovering techno took this to a new level for me. As a DJ, I aim to share this sense of community and safety, hoping to contribute to spaces where others can feel safe enough to take a step toward healing. This is what techno does for me, and it's what I hope we can all do together through sharing and holding space for each other.

On a musical note, my favorite music to perform as a clarinetist was long-form and repetitive, and I became curious about how musical material develops over time and how methods of progression affect our experience of time. I also performed a lot of process-music that explores musical forms driven by the means and parameters of a given process vs. the traditional linear development of material. I find these concepts present everywhere in techno. When listening to a classical work that reaches a musical climax, I always want it to STAY THERE for a while and live in that climax. But it doesn't; the line continues somewhere else. Techno can sometimes feel like the climax is always there, never releasing, and unrelenting. I find this unresolved tension deeply cathartic."

Anything big for FACETIME coming up soon?
"YES! We have two beautiful parties coming up this spring. On April 13 we are back at Trans-Peocs in Queens, NYC featuring Lychee, Triggered [LIVE] and myself; and on May 18, we have a special open-to-close set featuring Daiyah at Mansions.

Yes people welcome back to another episode of Symbiosis Radio Show presented by myself: SYM.

This time we have an important guest whose name is M.I.T.A. , he’s a great artist and person and I’m delighted to have him onboard.
Active since 2010, he's been making quality music that received support in the early stages by the likes of Truncate, The Advent and Industrialyzer.
He counts releases on several top labels like (Suara, JAM, Tronic, UNCAGE, EI8HT, Elevate) and his tracks are constantly played by techno icons such as Marco Faraone, FJAAK, Andres Campo, Trym, Sam Paganini ...
That has led him to perform in many cities across Europe like Berlin, Amsterdam, Athens and Milan to name a few.

To start off the show there’s 1 hour of music selected by me where dark grooves and hard sounds blend smoothly, let’s go!

Launched in January 2022, DSC (Deepak Sharma Collection) is a new digital series where Deepak will be releasing an individual track each month. The project materialized from the pandemic as an outlet to keep busy and sane from the isolation. From fresh material to digging into the vault and editing older sketches, everyone was fair game.

The result is a collection of varied works where the sound is consistent with what Deepak is known for: stripped-down, rolling, and hypnotic atmospheres ideal for dark dance floors which he missed both as a DJ and as a dancer.

Tympanum Records is thrilled to announce the long-awaited return of Secus with a full-bodied EP, 'Synapse.' This Los Angeles-based artist is revisiting the label that introduced him to the world, and this time, it's a complete story spread across five unique tracks.

'Synapse' is more than just another EP; it's a chronicle of several years of deep exploration and untamed creativity from one of electronic music's most esteemed talents. This comprehensive body of work represents a broad spectrum of Secus's sound, showcasing a truly immersive auditory journey.

The EP opens with "Fractured Eternity," an experimental masterstroke with a gripping intensity that captures the ear from the first note. The track weaves through innovative soundscapes, challenging the listener's expectations and presenting new dimensions in every beat.

Next is "Dimensional Drift," a driving, dark, and hypnotic journey that sends the listener spiraling into a vortex of pulsating basslines and otherworldly sound design. It's a perfect embodiment of Secus's ability to create an atmosphere that is as intriguing as it is immersive.

The titular track "Synapse" follows, a groovy, rhythmic odyssey that effortlessly flows with a danceable dynamism. The track stimulates your senses, syncing perfectly with the pulsating rhythm of the night, and serves as a testament to Secus's expert production prowess.

"Lucid Paradox" builds upon the heavy, brooding, and hypnotic elements that have become hallmarks of Secus's sound. The track is a metaphysical journey through the darkest corners of sound, presenting a brooding soundscape that engages the listener in a dance of shadows.

Rounding off the EP is "In the Shadows," a dark and driving anthem that encapsulates the essence of Secus's unique sonic approach. It's an exploration into the depth of the nocturnal world, radiating with dark energy that leaves the listener eagerly awaiting their next encounter with Secus's distinctive style.

This monumental release marks Secus's triumphant return to Tympanum Records and stands as a testament to his development as an artist over the years. 'Synapse' promises to delight his loyal fanbase and draw in new listeners with its captivating range of sounds. We're excited to welcome Secus back to our roster and look forward to the world's response to this audacious, sonic journey.

ROI is one of the most alert and creative minds in Spain, but also an insatiable producer, if we talk about experimenting with electronic music from all angles. This is attested to by his Fanzine project, which he co-directs with The Panic Room. And it is that, in this electronic principality, where everything is governed by concepts such as purity, elegance and devotion to music, people like Roi are admired, capable of sacrificing his best years to contribute their grain of sand to the cause, forming professionals.
As a DJ he manages, without losing sight of his tendency to dance and reflection, to combine, depending on the moment, a multitude of genres with coherence and enjoyment, in equal parts, until weaving together a story with a beginning, middle and end.
He does not lack notable virtues, but the ones that should be recognized the most are his perseverance in his musical project and empathy with the public on the dance floor. In the same way, as a producer, he manages to give coherence to a wide amalgamation of influences from several decades, this unique work is very personal, and like few others, it is capable of triggering a feeling that is sometimes disconcerting, familiar and welcoming at the same time.
ROI could be defined as a cultural agent, who, beyond bringing a breath of fresh air to the
dance floor, tirelessly seeks to renew the musical language with brilliant ideas that make that experience magical, unique, but above all, so much fun as accessible and enriching.

Track List:
PS11 - Let Go
Carlotta Jacobi - Whatever you want
