Vertige II is the second compilation to be released on Abîme, gathering tracks from ten artists to explore the Vertige concept with a wider spectrum of intents.  

It features contributions from musicians all around the globe, each of them delivering an interpretation of this ambivalent sensation that could be equally seen as a positive or negative feeling if taken in its plurality of meanings.

Ranging from GIL’ dizzying textures in ‘Storm Petrel’ to the sweetness of Fauness’ guitars in ‘Am I ready’, Vertige II finds its coherence when seen as a progression, a back and forth between fear and love, with each track responding to the previous one by being its deforming mirror.

Vertige II puts the emphasis on vocal tracks, but again doesn’t limit itself to a one-sided approach, and that’s how Lil Asaf’s harsh Jordanian rap can be found coexisting with Flagalova’ anthemic pop and Ptwiggs’ shoegaze ‘Forever is not enough’. 

As the successor of our first compilation, this record can be seen as both a continuation and a rupture in comparison with it. The delicate sound palette of the original opus has exploded and expanded into an ecletic collection of pieces, sometimes frightening and overwhelming, and sometimes soothing and reassuring, as is the Vertige.

GRILLED METADATA

IM092 - @bonebrokk - The Astral Catalyst
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: July 30th,2021
Format: Digital
Artwork: @benfikaa

A new signee to Infinite Machine, Bonebrokk’s The Astral Catalyst EP marks his first official release for the Athens-based producer outside of his Trial & Error imprint. Influenced by late capitalism and sci-fi dystopias, across two productions Bonebrokk deftly showcases his ‘ExoPunk’ sound; a retrofuturist mix of broken beats from the continuum blended with meticulous, future-facing sound design. Long-standing IM alumni Galtier as well as techno giant Surgeon round off the release with two blistering remixes of Bonebrokk’s originals.

The Astral Catalyst opens with the EP’s eponymous track - an heady dose of industrial percussion and low-end bassweight that could easily shake the paint off a club’s walls. Amongst these dense layers of clattering percussion and dread-laiden bass lines, Bonebrokk weaves in haunting cycles of noisy feedback - a dissonant ghost in the machine.

The following track, Hyperparadox, eases up on the bass somewhat but goes big on the breaks. The track’s mid-range groans and samples that seem to squelch like shoes hitting mud gives Hyperparadox an almost tactile and material nature; as if you could physically sink your teeth into Bonebrokk’s rich arrangement here.

First up on remix duties; UK dance music giant Surgeon reworks The Astral Catalyst into a 3am fever dream, taking Bonebrokk’s original into a more functional techno direction. Surgeon applies a heavy, groove-laden drum pattern to the track whilst still keeping its unnerving mood and white noise-rich environment of The Astral Catalyst very much intact.

Closing off the EP, Galtier reworks Hyperparadox by stripping back some of the layers of samples but ramping up the tension with the elements he leaves in the mix. A great prelude to a bigger body of work by Galtier that Infinite Machine will be releasing soon.

A wild blend of dubstep and breakbeats that could easily re-soundtrack a nightclub scene from The Matrix, this might be the first but it’s certainly not the last time you’ll be hearing Bonebrokk’s unique sound
