Cotton Pills - Fixed Karma II

https://soustraitance-sstr.bandcamp.com/album/masterbep

SousTraitance Label, one of the many representatives of Lyon's scene resurfaces from the depths with Masterbep'. The third installment in their compilation series dances on the fringe of the current yet futuristic club scene, echoing the eerie beauty of organic sounds emanating from reptilian, xenomorphic entities. 

Featuring as usual up-and-coming French and international Producers (Trois-Quarts Taxi System, Rxex, Smogo, Anta Doma, Orchid, Homelander, Marmo), this seven-track CD fuses elements of halftime DnB, entrancing psychedelic techno, gravity-defying dub uk, nebulous IDM and razor-sharp breakbeats. Each track feels like it has been meticulously nurtured in amniotic fluid, infused with rhythms carrying an acidic edge - a testament to the profound influence of modern electronic music on the mind.

PREVIEWS -Masterbep [SSTR03]

March 2019, Iceland, Catartsis & Ida traverse vast expanses of snow and ice. All ears with microphones in hand, they fade in a multitude of topographies guided by the acoustic subtleties of a melting world. "Ice Collage" lures us into an Arctic fog swollen by the uncanny impression of geo-presences. Recordings of thawing landscapes, lithic crumblings, and breathing geothermal soils animate the 3 tracks of the EP into a blend of bass and ambient music.

EM008 — "Hyperlost" by Raär + Whylie

A testament to catharsis of body and mind, an homage to sentiment and intrigue.

‘Hyper:lost’ purveys two interlinked but distinct sides of an artist whose reputation has spanned a long and ever maturing path of sonic development. Where Raär’s signature intricacy manifests in the grittier ‘hyper’ half of ‘hyper:lost’, Whylie counters with the haunted but sentimental spatiality of the other - the ‘lost’.

For this is like a search through the dialectic of the machine; energetic fluxes and frenetic textural modulations of the hyperreal encounter swirls of melancholy and lush human washes of its seeker. These are the contradictions of a determinedly uncertain pursuit; of a head charge into the void.

Twin parts diagnosis and remedy of a present insanity. Heads down and knees up for the end.

Hyperlost

EM008 — "Hyperlost" by Raär + Whylie

‘Metal Form Suite’ is a culmination of the sounds that inspire the label in its endeavour to create scaled events with underground and DIY tendencies. Through this compilation and curation, General Merchant is showcasing the range of sounds that you may expect to hear at one of their warehouse parties.

General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

Nous sommes très content.es de sortir notre nouvelle compilation ! Conçue comme une traversée introspective, cette compilation est une ode à nos instants de conscience sur le dancefloor, aux immersions sensorielles dans des paysages sonores mouvants, entre clair-obscur et lumière crue, entre nature et abstraction.

English:

We are very happy to release our new compilation ! Designed as an introspective journey, this compilation is an ode to our moments of awareness on the dancefloor, to sensory immersions in shifting sonic landscapes—between light and shadow, raw brightness and deep contrasts, nature and abstraction.

Israfil - Vous êtes fortes

Following their standout contribution from 2023 to the “Masterbep” V/A on SousTraitance Records, the French duo delves deep into the mythology of a new world in the making, channeling the wrath of almighty elemental forces. The EP features four rhizomatic tracks that seamlessly intertwine the label’s signature sound with

Anta Doma’s own identity ; expect slow-burning industrial breaks, high-velocity DnB, and ritualistic ambient textures - all bound by a focus on sonic mutations and razor-sharp sound design.

CD limited edition.

GMA18 - Beat Detectives

Ouch. Summer's over and we're left with a UV hangover and a Club Mate-sized hole in our nogs. Luckily, Allergy Season has the cure: "Triptan" -- four tracks of tangled tech by Head Hurts. Perfect for the back to school blues.

Head Hurts is Martti Kalliala, the Berlin-based producer who, along with Ville Haimala, forms the delirious duos Amnesia Scanner and the late Renaissance Man. In 2010 Martti started deconstructing and reconstructing house and techno tracks with lacerated layers: clips of clips and rips of rips. Finnish-born Kalliala is also an architect -- there's a creative destruction in these retrofits, as if you decimated a row of Soviet tower blocs, and built a freaky playground from the rubble. The result is a DJ toolbox for DJ's who speak DJ: morphing, shifting, jilted shapes that slice through the air--grazing classic dance but staying just out of reach.

"Triptan" by Head Hurts will be out on Allergy Season on September 25th, and available at your local pharmacy.

"The sense of self can become lost in the mundane. Thus, it becomes necessary to transcend the everyday. A journey outside the normal reaches of life becomes a path to a spiritual state rooted in one's own personal experiences. This spirituality is not universal. It is inseparable from individual, time, place. The pilgrimage becomes an act that simultaneously creates and honours its own spirituality. This is a document of one such journey: Wakkanai Pilgrimage."
