First edition of AI—F's new podcast series: AI—F Mix Series. This one is a future-leaning cinematic ambient mix by label boss Løt.te.

AI—F Mix Series 001 — Løt.te

The second edition of AI—F Mix Series comes from the visionary Lithuanian producer Sole Massif. While little is known about the person behind the music, we know that he's been releasing highly polished futuristic experimental tracks with an unwavering emphasis on cutting-edge, hyper-crisp sound design since 2017.

Composed entirely of his own productions spanning 6 years, this mix plays like an hour-long highspeed journey across an ever-shifting future topography governed by laws that are utterly alien to the humans of 2024. Sole Massif proves that his ability to conjure such an arresting experience using sound is truly peerless in his field.

AI—F Mix Series 002 — Sole Massif

AI—F launches with its inaugural release in the form of a taut three tracker from label boss Løt.te.

‘A Lattice of Virtually Identical Nodes’ takes its name from mesh networks, and explores the use of mobile technology and meshnets as a communication tool during recent anti-government protests in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

‘Hülya’s Eye’ is a tense, syncopated stepper that keeps the pressure at maximum throughout with immense sub bass and high-pitched digital static stretching the frequency domain as far as it can go. Samples from various protests and films provide context for the unrelenting tension, while the hyper-digital sound palette points to the growing role that technology is playing on the streets where the oppressed resist power-hungry governments and their henchmen.

‘Tunnel Under the Base Station’ is a dirtier, grimier affair that sounds like a rugged hi-tech engine hurtling through earth deep below the surface with steady and unstoppable force. While the elastic sound design and the syncopated hi-hats induce claustrophobia, the tribal percussion and the epic synth lead pry the space open, creating an impossible sense of space and time.

‘Eavesdropping Guoanbu Agent’ takes the elastic synthesizers and metal clangs away from the dance floor to a much darker, seedier place. Rhythmic synths converse with iron rods (dragged across the basement floor), growling frame drums, and wooden percussion played with force and urgency. The horns that arrive around the 5 minute mark release the tension while expanding the emotional scope of the closer.

‘A Lattice of Virtually Identical Nodes’ charts an exciting new course for Løt.te's sound, bringing together his hyper-textured technoid sound design with an appetite for breaking free from the confines of techno's familiar rhythmic structures.

Løt.te returns with a new three-track EP of industrial syncopations delving deeper into AI—F’s conceptual framework and themes. While his first release on the label, 2020’s ‘A Lattice of Virtually Identical Nodes’ explored the use of mobile technologies in opposing abuses of power, ‘Šutanovac’s Deal’ turns its gaze on the other side, the use of illegal and high tech weapons to intimidate, oppress and torture civilians, and the global arms trade that perpetuates their use.
Spontaneous yet meticulously arranged and recorded, these three tracks mark the evolution of his sound from techno to one that’s multi-faceted, incorporating elements from industrial, noise, techno, dubstep and drum & bass.
