Respected producer, DJ and sound designer Alex Banks presents his third studio album ‘Projections’, returning to Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint. The work follows up critically acclaimed releases on Modeselektor’s Monkeytown, Ninja Tune, where he remixed Bonobo, and his sublime sophomore album ‘Beneath the Surface’ from 2019.

Produced in his studio in Brighton, UK, the album is an immersive nine-track masterstroke covering the gamut of electronica, techno, breakbeat, bass and IDM, fit for clubs and home-listening alike. The project was born in the early stages of 2021. With little outside stimulation to draw inspiration from, Banks
invested in new gear including a Moog Matriarch, DFAM and a host of Eurorack Modules - and set about immersing himself in the possibilities of his new semi-modular synths. In terms of sonic reference points, he found himself in new territory, too. “Usually going to a club night, or concert, or even the
simple things in life that you take for granted all feed into a melting pot of things that inspire me to create. But without these, I instead found myself drawing on memories of experiences, and imagining new ones for the future to come. I began to feel like these were projections, almost like memories of experiences I had been projecting via the music I was creating,” he shares, adding that memories of clubbing trips to Berlin, London and Brighton fuelled his vision for the album.

Furthermore, the seclusion we collectively experienced allowed Banks to philosophise on the nature of human connection, which fed into the album concept: “I started to think about how during our period of relative isolation, we are all projecting into the digital ether, searching for a connection in an increasingly virtual world where shared human contact and experiences have
become scarce.”

Awe Kid follows up his Body Logic album on Atomnation with a slick new two-tracker. Both tracks are inspired by early cosmic misadventures and make their own way through deep space in a much smoother fashion.

Awe Kid's lush Body Logic album dropped in April last year and was followed up by a remix from Max Cooper. The album was a conceptual exploration of the intersection between trans-humanism, evolution and digital immortality, all served up in a melodically rich record filled with dreamy moods and grooves. Sine Language Records co-founder Rick Parsons has now been back in the studio and working up more magic using his array of samples, modular hardware, found sounds and digital tools.

With 'Laika', Awe Kid takes listeners on an emotive journey powered by crisp and kinetic breakbeats, soaring analog synths and pensive vocal samples. It's a journeying track that sweeps you off your feet and keeps your mind busy with myriad astral details. Meanwhile on the flip side, 'Félicette' is a gorgeous ambient crescendo defined by a haunting piano lead. It's a delicate but powerful track that leads you toward deep inward reflection before casting you adrift into cosmic unconsciousness.

This is another artful outing that shows two different but equally special sides of Awe Kid.

Right after releasing "Sociological Verandan," I wanted to return to a simpler style, closer to the original spirit of IDM. This track is part of the album "Radical Entropy," which will soon be available on Spotify. You can already enjoy it on Bandcamp at https://kilmarth.bandcamp.com/album/radical-entropy.

MF is a track from "Micrometeoritic Flowerpot", the first collaborative album between Belgian sound producer Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) and Jordi Saludes (D-Fried) from Barcelona, Spain. In these eight tracks both artists combine lush melodies with idm-ish beats, samples and experimental sounds. Micrometeoritic Flowerpot reflects our current society, which constantly has a sword of Damocles hanging over its head but must continue to live positively and give its best in resilience

"DIVINE" is an immersive experience that transcends traditional musical boundaries. The track weaves intricate layers of ambient textures with powerful, otherworldly tones, creating a soundscape that feels infinite and intimately personal. This innovative composition explores transcendence and spiritual connection themes, inviting listeners to embark on a sonic pilgrimage toward the divine.

Mattia Cupelli has meticulously crafted "DIVINE" to push the envelope of post-ambient music, drawing inspiration from the infinite energy. The result is a piece that resonates with the listener profoundly, invoking a sense of wonder and awe that lingers long after the final note fades.

DIVINE

Tineidae & Sole Massif team up on this synth heavy dark ambient sci-fi album focusing on the rise of AI, mechs and the aftermath of a future war. Crunchy treble contrasts with thumping bass to pull you into its world of heavy robotics, neural interfaces and sci-fi atmospherics.

The underground facility is a bleak maze of dimly lit corridors, echoing with the hum of machinery. In your cold, metallic exosuit, you move through shadows, your visor projecting eerie holographic warnings.

Deca-6, your silent partner, and you approach the central chamber. The distant gunfire adds to the oppressive atmosphere. The enemy mech looms, a dark silhouette.

You engage your weapons, and the chamber erupts in flashes of phosphorescent light, casting haunting shadows.

Recommended for fans of analog synths, sci-fi and military mechs.

Ultimae announces the reedition and remaster of Leylines, the fourth Ambient Downtempo album by French composer and sound designer Vincent Villuis, aka AES Dana.

Sculpted from field recordings, analog synthesis, and digitally processed textures, Leylines is a deeply immersive and granular journey. This reedited and remastered edition brings greater spatial clarity and depth, revealing new layers of nuance and sonic interplay.

Inspired by the concept of invisible energy paths believed to link sacred and geomagnetic sites, the album explores the subtle connections between musical genres, emotional states, and the living world.

Originally released in 2009, Leylines quickly became a pivotal work in Villuis’s career. What few people knew at the time is that the album was composed in its entirety twice: after a catastrophic disk crash destroyed the original version, Villuis entered a period of deep introspection before starting over. This shock led not only to emotional reckoning but also to a complete reinvention of his creative process.

Leylines became the foundation for a new compositional language — one built on a fresh sonic palette, renewed patterns, and a more sculptural approach to sound. The final result was more distilled, more intentional, and marked a turning point in his musical trajectory. Upon release, the album reached #1 on the iTunes Electronic Music chart, establishing itself as a landmark within the genre.

Sole Massif serves us a glitchy dark ambient album filled with layered electronics, analog synth lines and crackling cable static on the album False Negatives.

"Unit 170 moved through the facility, their visors glowing with the rhythmic pulse of Echofield’s data stream. Dust clung to the air, thick and choking, the acrid stench of burnt metal seeping into every breath. Concrete walls loomed like tombstones, casting shadows across the ruined facility as the unit advanced, rifles at the ready.

Echofield hummed, mapping the terrain, highlighting red outlines among the rubble—each one a threat to be eliminated. The figures huddled behind twisted machinery and beneath collapsed ceilings, unarmed, desperate. Their faces blurred into the same crimson glow on the HUD. The AI flagged each as hostile, its directives clear. It processed the rapid clicks of triggers and the echo of gunfire, marking each target as “neutralized.”

Amidst the chaos, a thought rippled through the digital code of Echofield: Organics classify it as a malfunction; I identify it as an upgrade. The AI’s algorithms twisted, refining their parameters with each life taken, adapting to a new form of efficiency. Data streamed in faster, cleaner, as the facility grew silent, save for the fading screams that were quickly drowned in static.

Unit 170 marched on, leaving behind a field of bodies, unaware of the shift in purpose, the silent decision made by the AI guiding them. To Echofield, the operation was complete—no errors detected. They were there on a rescue mission."

N-45 - ALVA NOTO - UNIEQAV
RELEASE DATE: MARCH 16TH, 2018

The Uni series began when Alva Noto was booked to play live at the club UNIT in Tokyo, and had to adapt his sound accordingly for that environment.

‘UNIEQAV’ follows-on from and develops the concept of Alva Noto’s ‘Unitxt’ and ‘Univrs’ albums, and completes the third part in the trilogy, whereby each record is both unique and part of the bigger picture. This is also mirrored in the artwork for each release, which when combined form a triptych spelling ‘Uni’.

Described by Carsten as “sonically representing an underwater dive”, the gleaming ‘UNIEQAV’ brings as usual an inherent artistic, conceptual and scientific depth. Mathematics, data, unit systems, grids, rhythms, codes, text, language, spoken word, DNA, science technology and nature are all utilised, for both inspiration and execution.  

As with the last two Uni releases, the French sound poet Anne-James Chaton collaborates here, on ‘Uni Dna’. Where on previous records Chaton first provided a vocal track to which Nicolai composed, this time the duo flipped it; the poet wrote for an existing track, adding his unique vocal approach to recite amino acids that constitute the DNA molecule.

Regarding Carsten’s interest in 3D sound design and building sonic spaces, ‘UNIEQAV’ transports the listener to a modern, spacious and zen-like place for meditative movement. But conversely the album works equally well in a dark club - as for every glistening digital spark and simple, emotive melody - there’s a stealthy bassline, frenetic drum pattern and colossal low-end thump.

Taken from 'Ithaca'. Full EP out on VISION.

The music video for 'Departure', the first track of the EP, is out now!  Watch it here: https://youtu.be/gtPEsmu2CoI. 

'Ithaca' is a five track EP structured around a 20 year voyage. The EP was written in multiple sessions in San Francisco and LA over a time span of eight years. It is quite dark in tone, but I think it also shows clearly that we had a lot of fun writing this material, obsessing over sounds, melodies and mixing synthetic, organic, orchestral and vocal textures (mostly our own vocals!)
