Akumen - Validity Effect Previews

“The validity effect is the increase in perceived validity of repeated statements”

London label La bonne musique kicks off 2022 with ‘Validity Effect’ by American DJ & Producer Akumen. Co-founder of Los Angeles event series and radio show Made to Move, Akumen has cut his teeth in the local scene curating parties featuring DJs from Southern California and abroad. Having self-released most of his previous work, he now drops the high octane, four-track techno EP ‘Validity Effect’ on emerging London imprint La bonne musique. 

‘Bounce in My Mind’, the 808 driven dancefloor weapon that opens the EP, sees Akumen deliver a hypnotic stomper rife with rhythm. 

The fast-paced, dubby synths of ‘Processing Fluency’ follows with similar energy with an added layer of acid sprinkled on top before the EP’s title track drops it down a notch with fast-paced, distorted synth lines over rolling snares. 

Drawing its inspiration from the psychological concept of the same name, ‘Validity Effect’ explores repeated instrumentation, drums, and 303 sequencing switched up across all four tracks to deliver a varied, club-ready release.

To close out the EP Akumen takes us back to acid town with a 303 mix of ‘Validity Effect’, managing to create a culmination of the rest of the EP’s tonal qualities in what is set to be a certified dancefloor mover.

Akumen (he/him) is an LA producer, DJ and co-founder of Made to Move, a monthly event and livestream radio show, featuring DJs from Southern California and abroad. Working at his home studio, Akumen produces atmospheric, breaky and lush cuts to high octane, full -on rave tracks. 

This EP draws on the idea that hearing something or being repeatedly exposed to something can lead you to believe it. Currently, we are experiencing one of the largest examples of the validity effect, where non-factual claims and conspiracy theories have risen to mainstream conversion simply because of repetition. Validity Effect uses the same instrumentation, drums and even 303 sequencing. The first track and last tracks of the album are very different but ultimately are a repetition of the same sounds used in a sonic variation.

PREMIERE: Akumen - Joy

1. Bring It, 2. Embrace, 3. I Can Feel It, 4. Meta-Emotion, 5. Bring It (Haruka Salt @harukanyc999 Remix)

Released on July 29, 2022.
Buy on Bandcamp: https://fortunesignal.bandcamp.com/album/embrace-ep

Support: Sarah Story (BBC Radio 1), Tom Ravenscroft (BBC Radio 6), Travis Holcombe (KCRW), Franky Rizardo (@frankyrizardo), Joyce Muniz (@joytoy), Holly Lester (@hollylester)

As club music fans, we constantly seek out those special moments of sonic bliss, the moments that help justify staying out well past midnight. The Embrace EP captures the essence of those rave-affirming moments and tips its hat to the pioneers of its trancey 90s underground sound. Making his Fortune Signal debut, LA native @akumenmusic delivers a rave-ready 5-tracker just itching to be unleashed at peak time in a warehouse near you.

For this new release, Akumen has infused his signature house and techno workouts with what he cheekily describes as proto-trance. A tasteful yet potent combination of sonic ingredients, the resulting Embrace EP is a cohesive odyssey full of pumping bass and kicks, mysterious synth melodies, and skittering breakbeats. The release is comprised of Akumen's four original tracks as well as a remix by NYC underground luminary and Toucan Sounds mainstay Haruka Salt. The veteran DJ slaps an exclamation mark on the release with a loopy and deliciously percussive take on “Bring It” that re-awakens your senses for the final dance.

Akumen is a long-time fixture in the LA underground scene and co-runs the Made to Move monthly party and radio show. Working out of his home studio in East LA, Akumen produces "atmospheric, breaky and lush cuts to high octane, full-on-rave" tracks for labels including La Bonne Musique, 12 Inches Deep, Low Recordings and now Fortune Signal.

Opening track “Bring It” lures the listener in with a hypnotic, elastic bassline before exploding into a cascading synthetic swirl. Its insistent vocal sample is an irresistible call to move your body.

The eponymous “Embrace” ventures further down the rabbit hole with tenacious synth stabs, eventually contronting you with a fully-formed trance moment.

“I Can Feel It” opens with classic organ notes, a nod to Akumen’s house roots. As it draws closer to its apex, the song plucks at your heartstrings with anthemic synth stabs and an evocative, soulful vocal sample.

“Meta-Emotion”, Akumen’s fourth original track, is a mesmerizing dip into the ether. Bass-heavy drum grooves cut through spacious synth arpeggios with driving authority.

To conclude our journey, NYC underground luminary and Toucan Sounds mainstay Haruka Salt slaps an exclamation mark on the release with a loopy and deliciously percussive remix of “Bring It” that re-awakens your senses for the final dance.

Embrace

Akumen - Embrace [Fortune Signal]

● Reminiscences from the old skool calling to your mind, with the RAVE FACTORY V.A., Dance-orientated encounters between broken beats and 4 on the floor, giving an edgier look on Rave, Breakbeat House, Jungle Techno, and OldSchool Hardcore as some of the first genres to narrow the gap between different ethnic backgrounds from around the world like dub, hip hop, house, and techno to merge them into something new. Rusty syncopated drum samples, chest-hitting leads, woofers smashing sub-bass patterns, a constant wave between 2-step and 4x4 Kick drum Patterns, and vocal motifs from back in the day.

L.A.'s rising talent Akumen landing with style in A Breaking Concept with an introspective track that’s driven by the construction of boundless melodies and the invitation to let go into a breathe and give yourself to a 4-on-the-floor beat occasionally infused by a drum breakbeat to keep the NRG flowing.

Berlin-based collective Cyberflex is making waves in the electronic music scene with their unique sound that draws inspiration from the Detroit techno scene and its originators. Founded by a group of musicians, producers, and artists, Cyberflex brings a fresh and modern take on the classic electro sound.

Says Cyberflex, “This collection of tracks describes a process which starts as a single unit leading to differentiation into several mutually competing units. Each unit will again develop various compartments aiming to achieve balanced singularity within a fractal circuitry.”

Acid-layered beats and polyrhythmic drums drive over deep subby basses to bring you a guaranteed room rattler, pairing house party attitude with warehouse edge.

This 6-track techno/hard groove EP is serious but also a little careless - like moving so fast you break things (or forgetting to back up your hard drive).

Acid Camp is excited to announce a new compilation album. The album celebrates the label’s 10 year anniversary with 35 artists—of which 25 are releasing with the label for the very first time.

As the largest release in the record label’s history, Acid Camp: 10 Year Anniversary Compilation dramatically expands upon Acid Camp All Stars Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (both 2018) with more than triple the number of featured artists. Ten return to the label, including Eric Cloutier and Jeremiah Chiu, while Abby Echiverri, Bézier, Force Placement, and 32 more celebrate their first track with Acid Camp.

From Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Berlin to Tokyo, the artists represent the breadth of the underground and independent music scenes of the 2020s and underscore the collective strength of Acid Camp’s community since 2013. The release spans dancefloor-forward acid house and techno to ambient, downtempo, and funk selections. Lyrics are cut and collaged; synths are squelched; grooves are grooved.

100% of the album's profits will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), founded over 30 years ago in 1991. PCRF is the leading nonprofit organization providing medical care and diverse humanitarian assistance to countless children in the Middle East.

Really excited to have the opportunity to remix this track. Here is my remix of Implosion by NAKOS off the Cobaye EP. NAKOS is a French producer with a unique talent of combining industrial and experimental sounds into the techno genre. This remix features many of the original motifs but has added drums and synths to give it more a house vibe.
