BARDOUIN VA002 (SNIPPETS)

The summer of 2020 was a memorable one, Duane Island - real name Dan Komanoff - was in Manhattan, back in his childhood bedroom. Days were long but he was mostly inside. The view from the room’s window was just another brick wall, although for a few moments a day, a bit of light would hit the portable studio where he would jam after work. His brother was around, too, so Dan enlisted him on keys. When their parents left for a weeklong vacation, the party began: they could jam louder and smoke inside.

Armed with a dropbox of disco breaks a friend had just ripped from his collection, Dan spent the week chopping 16 bar loops and writing bass lines under his brother's airy pad progressions. Italo gems dug from the annals of discogs had been the soundtrack of Dan's year so far, and the brothers used these sounds to transport themselves to that otherworldly lakeside scene that, save a few mixes and grainy photos, might never have existed at all. After a few hours of writing, Dan and his brother would take their jams to the roof to test them out in the open air and smoke some more. New ideas would float toward them from the other side of lower Manhattan, where the sun had just set, and they’d head back inside.

The result of these sessions is Solar Effect, three enormous and heartfelt club excursions. The title track, “Solar Effect”, twists in on itself like a trip peaking at noon, pairing squelching FM synth lines with airy piano chords to get hands in the air, feet off the ground, and heads in the clouds.

About the album:

"Lost and Found" is a moving and finely detailed album by PNFA, the musical project of German artist Wolfram Gruss. Known for his reflective and atmospheric style, Gruss delivers a collection that blends downtempo, chillout, and trip hop with cinematic and electro-acoustic elements, resulting in a rich, immersive sound.

Most of the tracks are instrumental, unfolding slowly through layered textures, ambient tones, and subtle rhythmic patterns. Each composition is carefully arranged, showcasing a strong focus on sound design and emotional nuance. The music feels organic and spacious, balancing electronic precision with a warm, human touch.

Alongside the instrumentals, the album features several vocal pieces that add lyrical weight and emotional clarity. These songs deal with themes of love, separation, and the emotional complexity of letting go, offering a contrast to the abstract mood of the instrumental tracks.

PNFA’s production style is deeply nuanced, with every detail—from gentle melodies to atmospheric field recordings—thoughtfully placed. "Lost and Found" stands as a cohesive and expressive work, shaped by both technical skill and a strong emotional core.

TR4R is excited to make its return on his "Rough Cuts" series with the "Basement Of Dreams EP" by Komartsov and picks up on the momentum of their last release, the powerhouse TR4R#10 compilation. With fluttering arpeggios that weave through lush pads of otherworldly house and deep 90s electro, "Basement Of Dreams EP" is as dynamic as it is effective for the floor. Don’t hold back with this 8-track stunner—embrace the dive of it—let it soak and submerge as it builds its bed of undeniable energy.Bouncing acidic droplets and underwater pad sweeps set the track ‘Gamma Glow’ running with Omar S-like hypnoticism. With an electro spine, the Russian-based producer Komartsov dives into the depths with this first track off of the "Basement Of Dreams EP" on TR4R with an emotive and floating electro 90s-influenced anthem.The "Basement Of Dreams EP" is brimming with both wonder and enchantment as the Russian-based producer Komartsov comes up with the moody 303-driven electro burner ‘Up Vertically’. The jacking momentum of the track only builds stronger as swirls of FM pads and distorted radio wave voices submerge—landing on the safe waters of both lush and laid-back acid bliss.Moments of euphoria exist throughout this "Basement Of Dreams EP" release, like in the drumless breaks in ‘Chemistry Of Love,’ which allows for one to catch an ethereal breadth before dropping us back into the full force of the bass thumping powerhouse. Channeling shades of Mr. G in the hammering chords and shuffled hats, the track subtly weaves through soft wavetable synth pads in ‘Chemistry Of Love’ by Komartsov and the result is a pounding tune.Airy chords breath in and out as pulsating waves of deep house and dub motion coalesce in Tommy Vicari Jnr´s, take on Komartsov’s track ‘Chemistry Of Love.’ The spread in sound—it’s wide span of Tommy´s remix only strengthens the mind soothing aesthetic that Komartsov establishes throughout his "Basement Of Dreams EP" and the effect is mesmerizing.With releases on Gesalt Records, Dance All Day, and Mint Tea—the emerging Russian producer has been able to cultivate a powerful catalog that culminates the hypnoticism of dub techno with the soul of 90s E.M.U-nodding Detroit house. One of the strongest examples is “Source Data,” which meanders through chopped breakbeats and cascading stabs into a raving, trance-tinged banger.Rounding out the release is a remix of ‘Reminiscence’ by one of the TR4R co-founders Florian, who extends this release with an even wider breadth of genre-bending prowess. A breaky future bass take on the to compliment the range of moods this release adapts to on the dancefloor.

A1: Across The Bridge
A2: Angelo's Houz (D50 String Mix)
B1: Datalore66
B2: Eternal September

Outfitted with anthemic romps, tongue-in-cheek pastiches, and percussions that pivot from rolling adventures to rain hitting the windowpane, Intimacy’s “Across the Bridge” marks the artist’s fifth release on vinyl and first release on Bouquet. A grab bag of fun, dancefloor-ready tracks written across 2019, the EP delivers his aesthetic of old computers, sci-fi movies, and science class educational videos configured into deep, spacey line-toting bedroom techno and melancholic house.

The title track features a catchy electroclash-esque (!!!) saw wave bassline, complete with emo Roland D50 strings and bells, all laid over a very beefy electro beat. It crossbreeds a Drexciya strain of low-end thump with a chewy, Eurotrash bassline evoking that time you lost your wallet at Tresor in '98. Strings and bells from the Roland D50 introduce the same euphoric high found in most of the products crawling out of Perdue's lab these days.

“Angelo’s Houz (D50 String Mix)” is a full-forced banger built around a well-traveled sample of Angelo Badalamenti's theme from Twin Peaks, recorded from an Intimacy live set early last year.

The flipside leads with the spiritual acid techno masterpiece “Datalore66”. Bubbling basslines hit a boiling point when placed in sequence with flutes showing genetic linkage to the Hartnoll family. Highly reactive material.

"Eternal September” opens a portal to the earliest hours of morning via synthesis of swirling pads and snapping drums. Closing the EP in introspective fashion, the track shows just how much emotional range Intimacy can pull out of decades-old disciplines.

Day by day, the memories of club nights gone by seem to be fading from our collective consciousness. The idea of being in a densely packed room with a pounding sound system feels like something we’ve been long removed from, both physically and culturally. Every once in a while though, something comes along that instantly transports you back to those simpler times. With an instantly recognisable sample and a relentless four-to-the-floor break, Liquid Crystals by Placid One on Gestalt Records does exactly that – combining a sense of dancefloor nostalgia with sublime production and an entrancing acid line that will stay with you well after the needle leaves the record.

Placid One is no stranger to atmospheric breaks. Previous releases have seen him lend his hand to everything from gorgeous downtempo jams to jungle-inspired rave; genres that on paper seem worlds apart but that he is able to draw parallels between through his signature broken rhythms and sombre lead melodies. This release sits firmly between those two styles at a cool 134bpm – designed with the club in mind, whilst still holding enough emotional weight to warrant repeated listens in a home setting.

The track clocks in at just over 6 minutes and boasts a couple of tasteful breakdowns during this time. The uplifting synth line weaves in and out of the mix but never truly overstays its welcome, allowing the pounding percussion and morphing 303 line to dictate the energy and momentum of the track. What really stands out here is the vocal; in direct contrast to the moody atmosphere of the instrumental, there is a repeated interpolation of the infamous Loleatta Holloway “I’m gon’ diss you” sample - made famous by the likes of Bicep and Armando amongst others in previous years. The juxtaposition of this iconic old-school vocal against Placid One’s ultra-modern sound design and signature drum programming gives a result that oozes with dancefloor nostalgia.

This track makes up one-fifth of the forthcoming HPU013 EP, with each track demonstrating Placid One’s penchant for creating club-driven rhythms whilst showcasing his diversity as a producer. In the context of the release, the traditional 4/4 structure of Liquid Crystals will likely make this the most obvious weapon of choice for many DJs. The track sits alongside a breaky UKG-inspired stomper (HPU013), an electro-infused acid workout (Reinelda) and the fantastically-titled CocoFishTrap – an enthralling IDM track demonstrating the artist’s ability to combine complex drum programming with mesmerising ambient soundscapes. The more adventurous DJs out there may look to reach for Seaweeds, with its off-kilter breakbeat patterns drawing similarities to the likes of leftfield techno favourites Overmono. For the most part though, the gripping energy of Liquid Crystals’ four-to-the-floor groove, combined with its understated yet enchanting aura and tried-and-tested vocal makes this track stand out as the most viable peak-time candidate for when the sweaty basement clubs once again open their doors.

"Written and recorded remotely in the fall of 2020, Adam O and MALT present "CODEC", a five-track EP in the formats of a 3” pocket CD and digital. Drawing from the themes of the virtual systems, isolation, and a distorted perception of time, "CODEC" reminisces experiences of the warehouse reaching through the smoking area with organically driven acid, pulsating techno, and mysterious breaks."
