"A striking work of hi-def sound design, which intends to explore the intricacies of the human voice, and the significance that can be found in the oddities and interruptions to be found in our speech patterns." (https://soundcloud.com/djmag)

https://soundcloud.com/rami-abadir's Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat (GEN046) is a collection of gravity-defying tension build-ups and releases, crammed grimey patterns and blasting overdriven kicks setting the stage for an acousmatic, digital treatment of the human voice as a raw sound source. Vocal snippets, elusive traces of dialogs, ghost notes between utterances, modelled or resampled choirs all form the basis of this approach. On these tracks, high definition focused sound beams, charred high-res textures are complemented by intricate drum rolls sizzling, rushing up, bending beyond their breaking point joined by the clang of metallic, synthetic objects colliding, deforming, rupturing.
The release is accompanied by a handful of remixes, including a staggering diagonalization by https://soundcloud.com/frktl, a bass heavy club ready edit by https://soundcloud.com/ice_eyes, a frenetic, bouncy reimagination by https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier and a luminous big drum-powered rendition by https://soundcloud.com/zulimusic.

// https://soundcloud.com/rami-abadir about Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat (GEN046)
“Uh, um, ah, urgh, so, well, I mean, indeed—in everyday conversation, we stutter, pause, prolong a syllable beyond its actual length, sigh, click our tongues and lips, laugh, and repeat. Such interjections utterances and fillers may be considered superfluous to our interactions, even interrupting our flow of ideas. But, if we listen closely, we’ll find them loaded with deeper layers of meaning and affect: hesitation, thrill, discomfort, uncertainty, surprise, shyness, contemplation, or the agonizing search for meaning. 
As I extracted those recurrent utterances from supposedly coherent conversations, and the more I listened to those shards of sound in isolation, I came to the realisation that our semantic exchange has always been fragmented. This overpowering sense of fragmentation inspired a collage structure and infused the production with a deconstructed, dramatic and cinematic sound. In this sense, the collage technique in composition reflects how we construct meaning out of tiny utterances in our speech. “Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat” is a distillation of overlooked communication, implicit expression and elusive meaning, all of which could be reduced in a one-syllable utterance. The end result was a canvas of revisited meaning.
I submitted this work as my graduation project for the MA program “Digital Media” at the University of Arts Bremen.”

"Blurbing Out: Too Cool

A specter of nihilistic terror to all mediums… 
a Post-Neoist détournement of the book medium and artist book medium alike and beyond, a deconstruction of encyclopedic-metaphysics, a transmedial implosion of theory/praxis; Too Cool remains all of this and more!

If you’re looking for “art” or boilerplate techno-metaphysical science then look elsewhere or perhaps nowhere, but if you’re looking for the pataphysical disappearance of referentiality than look no further! 
A list of contributors to Pata-No UN LTD’s UNNO (Unidentifiable Non-(Narrative) “Objects”/Ogjects) series Too Cool includes a imaginary solution transnetwork or “dream team” of pataphysicians, deconstructors, and Post-Neoists including Monty Cantsin, Luther Blissett, Karen Elliot, Kiki Bonbon, Istvan Kantor, Blatella Germanica, Mireille Perron, Zkymicx, Pseudonovalis, Linda Stillman, Gary Genosko, Norman Conquest, No Cantsin, the OuTransPo (Ouvrior de Transmédia Potentielle) and unknown countless more! Wether taken as the remains of a collection of cut-up experimental Post-Neoist & pataphysical zines and fragments or a simulacra sui generis transmedia textual anomaly, there’s plenty to overload demarcation and misreading of any kind."

Hell Yeah's lovingly curated Buena Onda series is back with a new edition that focuses on Adriatic Beats & Beyond. It has been assembled by label head Marco Gallerani and features four exclusive new tunes that reflect his summer residences at a cosy beach bar on Italy's Eastern and Adriatic coast.

Marco moved back to his hometown of Ferrara after the pandemic and began spending more time at the local seaside, the famous Lidi Ferraresi. It's there, at Lido di Spina, that a friend runs Kai Beach Bar, a small spot where, every Thursday throughout August for the last three years, he has soundtracked afternoons and sunsets under the Buena Onda banner, more than a decade after the party first started in Berlin.

"The beat has become less Balearic, more Adriatic," he explains of the sounds that can be heard up and down the coastline. "There’s no sunset culture yet, but they like a groove for aperitivo. This selection reflects the music I propose there, a kinda sunrise to sunset trip."

The 13-track selection includes four exclusives: the first is Blende's 'Amor,' which is forthcoming on the label. Johan Blende is a Swedish producer, songwriter and DJ who weaves together modern dance with retro sounds of the 70s and 80s and debuts on the label this summer with his Recess EP. 'Amor' is a bubbly groove with a New Age wash and lo-fi pads full of charm.

Hell Yeah regular and Italian magic man Walter Del Vecchio aka Quiroga also offers a new Baia Club Ambient Version of 'French Kiss' which has a lazy acid line worming its way through dubby kicks and tabla drums, and his dreamy electro soother 'Cala Ventosa' also features. Secret Soul Society, aka South Wales's Cal Gibson, also tests a new EP with his 'Orange Surprise' blending off-balance rhythmic shuffles with starry cosmic melodies. The final exclusive is from Balearic Gabba Sound System, who flip The Vendetta Suite aka the legendary Gary Irwin's 'Della Notte' into a quietly epic cinematic closer with icy analogue beats and a warped bassline for dubbed out late night escape. His 'Island Hill Microdot' also offers some warped cosmic ambient house introspection.

Elsewhere, Michele Mininni features twice - once with Gallo's Tropical Hinterhof Remix of the suspensory ambient lushness pop 'Carousel of Tears' and once with the original percussive pressure and hip-house fusion of 'Urban Voodoo' from his Pop Archetypes LP. Buena Onda veteran Feel Fly comes through with an Estatico Danzante Remix of Pedro Bertho's 'Tornei' feat Mariana Gehring and takes us to the stars on twinkling keys, dusty breakbeats and steamy vocals that glow as warm as a setting sun.

Add in further groovy gems such as Bonnie and Klein's synth and vibes laced 'Horizon Avenue,' dreamy, breaks-driven downtempo brilliance from pub wave innovator Dawn Again, hints of Ibiza cool from Willie Graff's remix of Aura Safari & Jimi Tenor and some upbeat synth-laced house from label stalwart Luminodisco and you have a faultless collection of grooves for grown up dance floors.

Track from 'Pataphonix' on We Are One (WAO 002)

Steve McCaffery "Terra Mater"

From LAL-100 - Ilpo Numminen - I Guess You Could Call This a Long Play LP.

"This album is my expression of love to the 5U format modular synthesizers, reel-to-reel recorders and to the pulsating music that emerged in Germany in the early 70s.  
With these songs I hope to radiate the ecstatic joy of making (electronic) music, encourage listeners to try new ideas and spread creative energy. Overall, I like to think that these things are the substance of the kosmische music.

The first song of this album is a salute to the Trout Mask Replica, that has just had its 50th year anniversary. I guess it’s funny to begin a synth-album with a guitar solo. Rest of the songs echo more or less my influences from the krautrockers." - Ilpo Numminen

Ilpo's first solo vinyl is a collection of seven hypnotic songs from the time period of 2015-2020. I Guess You Could Call This a Long Play is a thoughtfully constructed thrilling record with many atmospheres, smooth transformations and deep sonic layers.
