“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.

Higher Power
https://soundcloud.com/higherpowerlabel

"Hot on the heels of their debut on Lobster Theremin, Sydney born and bred radio host, DJ/producer AK SPORTS readies five devastating cuts of distinct Nu-Sports club; finding their Higher Power - a new-age rave pairing formed from within a blazing ball of hell-fire.

Releases and remixes have followed on Dansu Discs, Mad Decent and CLUB GLOW (where they produced a collaborative EP with rising artist Kessler), and their Balamii radio show has welcomed guests from Dagga, Allan Fitzpatrick, Moktar, Mell G, Nova Cheq and Nikki Nair.

Inspired by the lack of female faces in a male-dominated scene, AK SPORTS has been at the forefront of a big-room, warehouse sound being championed in Australia (X CLUB, Mall Grab) that has been borrowing from the golden eras of trance and hardcore, whilst also catapulting that same energy straight into the dance through a contemporary lens.

‘West Coast’ tears itself into two forms - one a heavyweight 4x4 power mix, the other a ravey cut of breakbeat hardcore that melts across a scattered rhythm. ‘Une Amie’ floats like a killer-bee amongst swirls of synthy colours and patterns on a deep, driving and frenzied techno flow.

‘Eurostar’ is the soundtrack to what would happen if the high-speed, multi-national rail service was somewhere transported the a Mario Kart multiverse – a cut of trance-fused Euro-techno – before ‘Lockdown in the Big Smoke’ takes us on a melancholic trip into the dead of night on a killer techno-spooker."

"On B2, the two brothers combined their musical fruits and wine expertise to produce a disruptive beverage better than sex on the beach. This exquisite jazzy house jam also acts as a natural cure to all undesired effects from our previous narcotunes."
