Hard tracks series no. 162

created on: 2023/08/13

- short tracks of dance music of the ruff/harsh persuasion
. (high energy levels, overflow)

- released/made public early, with 8 tracks, maximum is 20

- uploaded from 06/2023 to 08/2023, except for these slightly older ones:
. . - (#_): 2 years,
. . - (#_): 1 year*,
. . - (#_): __ months.

* Soundcloud time: 1 year = 12 - 23 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Calm and Steady" (lower energy levels)
- "Superdance", f.k.a. MiddleLane (medium or uneven energy levels)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap"
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only, no beat)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: **
. . A) Superdance
and
. . B) all other series
** Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap"... and now more so with "Minimal" and "Dark". I'm trying to keep it to a minimum.

Edinburgh’s C Mantle is not specific to a singular sound. But there is a style to his sound. It’s not tied to beats per minute, nor beat structure. It doesn't matter whether it’s intense speedcore; mutant hip hop manifestations; thunderous hardcore techno; or abstract electro/idm, as is the case with Anatomically Correct. There is a particular way Mantle programmes his sound. A signature sound, if you will. Sharp, angular, raw, high grade sonic precision. And not without a certain machine funk swagger to the whole thing.

Across 4 sides of 180gram vinyl Acre Recordings present some of C Mantle’s most accomplished work to date. A culmination of the very best things about Mantle’s music.

On this record he has managed to make a contradicting rough-in-feel, smooth-to-listen-to collection of work centred around interpreting entropy. Shards of sonics crunch and swell as they flow over, through and at you. Step beats, booms, icy crystals and mischievous machines flex all the while.

With wonderfully vivid playful artwork commissioned from Lukas Weidinger, mastering by Denis Blackham, Anatomically Correct is simply, a very good pure electronic record.

Classify under: IDM, Abstract, Experimental Electro.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
