42nd week of BETAMAX invites producer, DJ, 1/2 of @metamoto label and founder of local Pakhauz community - Sergej Karmanov aka @bellriots

Hypothetist who always searching for an alternative explanation of common things and phenomena. Logic and spirituality are his leitmotifs. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are the main inspiration, however, his brightest visions come from unconsciousness.

The name Betamax stands for quality electronic music and analog warmth in micro/minimal/lo-fi/tech house/breakbeat and electro genres. The show itself is a mix series to represent groovy, funky, and rough sounds to show a more creative and experimental approach to dance music and @Play4n4.

GENERATOR#1

Newly launched Dutch electro label LDI Records follows up their first release from T/Error with a deep and dark four track EP by French producer Franck Kartell.

In a homage to masterful science fiction writer Philip K Dick - Side A of Electric Sheep EP evokes scenes from future mechanised worlds. Electric Sheep kicks the 12” off with a melancholic and contemplative moment followed by a steel cold and brooding venture in Voigt-Kampff.

On the B side of this release, there is a live mix of Kartell's track Electro Music, a futuristic electro work out with kicks for the dancefloor. The EP completes with Victoria - an ode to the electronic musician Victoria Lukas who passed away in 2020 - with a beautifully poised and contemplative track steeped in synths.

Franck Kartell is a French producer who has releases on Between Places, Transient Force, Ukonx Recordings, New Flesh, Bass Agenda and others. Since 2005 he has been producing well thought-out electro music filled with dark atmospheres and driving rhythms.

Specialising in moody, atmospheric electro, LDI Records (Lloyd’s Dark Imperium) are an essential label to watch. Distributed worldwide by Clone Distribution, while the Dutch label’s main focus is on vinyl releases, available in selected record shops across the globe, releases will also be available digitally.

“Shelled Landscape” is the reality of what happens when those in power are given free reign. It is the reality of much of the surface of the earth today whether it be the embattled oceans, metaphorically shelled as they are filled with waste or even literally shelled through their use as the site for military testing, mines, submarine warfare and missile launches… Or the bombed out areas which, having outlived their use, are abandoned by profiteers though many still live there and build their communities despite the deprivation of resources… Landscapes shelled by forced labor, mining, logging, drilling, fracking… Countless nations decimated by wars of power, decade after decade, total unending unwindable wars for wars sake. Gentrification produces wave after wave of metaphorical Shelled Landscapes as entire communities and ways of life are stamped out or displaced by increasingly corporate and useless businesses and temporary residences for the rich and out of touch. To speak of this landscape as post apocalyptic would be to ignore that many are already living the apocalypse. And still, communities are built, children are raised, gods of truth and justice are worshipped, bonds are made, the human spirit is strong despite the merciless greed of those who wish to harness it for their profit.

“No Map” emerges directly from the sound of the track that comes before it as a new consciousness, a new wildness born from a landscape of apparent destruction. It clearly proposes that salvation lies in nature, but not in the exploitation of nature. Salvation lies in total surrender to nature. The map will annihilate us, we must put it down and listen to the voices of our ancestors and the spirits of nature within us. No human power can save us, make us safe, give us direction. Stop trying to fix it. Stop trying to make it work. Stop trying to protect your pride. Get lost. Give up. Let the wild swallow you whole and spit you out as you were meant to be. It knows. It has been moving since long before we were born.

For this 48th Premiere of 2020, we have a track by Gravedad Cinética from the upcoming EP "Le Flâneur Spatial" on the Electronic label based in Barcelona (Spain) : Aspecto Humano.

Gravedad Cinética is the alias used by Groovycosta to produce a more electro, techno-pop and 80s sound.
The artist works with subtle touches of classical techno, and recovers their own futuristic sounds in both live sessions and in DJ sets.

The track we chose to premiere is the A2 and is entitled ‘City Of Light’ and it will be available from April 15, 2020 on Vinyl on Bandcamp : aspectohumano.bandcamp.com/album/gravedad-cin-tica-le-fl-neur-spatial
