Who Is Arcadia
@whoisarcadia

Who Is Arcadia is a Newcastle local who favours sounds characterised by broken beats, booming drum machines and acid lines, all of which feature in this mix he has put together for Selfness. He has held residencies at NoFrills, Palace, Tunnel Vision and 404, and has just put out his second release, a double single titled ‘Channel 2’ and has more music in the works.

This Novocastrian has been pushing boundaries with his impressive productivity and personal track releases, with our new favourite 'Curiosity Track' capturing an energy and intensity he also brings to his mixing. With recent residencies at Palace (@palaceunderground) and 404 (@404crew) events over March, Who Is Arcadia is quickly becoming an important figure in our local scene, with this mix of atmospheric breaks, enthralling basslines and hearty electro, showcasing the strength of Newy artists.

'Sunset Gradients' paints a vivid horizon of sound, observed in solar cycles of time. Through passive immersion in its atmosphere of elegant, sparkling production, or active engagement with equally compelling beats and melodies, there are several contexts to go deep into this collection while easily forming a habit of basking in its effervescent vibes.

Elements of electro funk, synthwave and vaporwave, hip hop, downtempo electronica and lo fi beats make up the 14 vibrant cuts on this LP. Paul Blackford seems to draw infinite patterns and hooks from the ether, colouring them in his own distinctly-fashioned palette of sound and vision. 'Sunset Gradients' is a calm wave set of warm moods, every track surging through its own perceptible hue, and purposefully giving way to the next.

Seeking a mental vacation, peaceful isolation, thoughtful reflection, focus or distraction, this is an essential soundtrack for profoundly chill experiences.

sunset gradients

PREMIERE: Paul Blackford - Sunset Gradients [Woodwork Recordings]

They say that one man's trash is another man's treasure: that was certainly true of today's find. The streets were lined with cardboard boxes and tables, some neatly organised and labeled, others thrown together in a hasty mess. Trinkets, books, photos and old clothes were amongst the sea of unwanted items that cluttered the tables; to the untrained eye most would never have made that golden discovery. But for him, this was the missing part of a puzzle that he'd started long ago. 

The last year or two has been very fruitful for Rotterdam-based duo Black Cadmium. Since their debut solo EP on Ovum Recordings, they've dropped music for Vault Wax and Violet's Naive imprint, channeling their love of Detroit and London sounds into their output. Now they make their way to Wanderist's Transient Nature imprint, the label set up by one half of Dam Swindle, Marteen Smeets, to spotlight the best in machine funk, techno and everything in between. Like Black Cadmium's previous releases, the four tracks on ‘Inertia’ bridge sounds and eras, encompassing electro grooves, twilight house jams and dreamy acid cuts.

Inertia EP

PREMIERE: Black Cadmium - Gold [Transient Nature]

We premiere Scottish electronic music royalty, Vince Watson. The now Netherlands based artist returns for his incredible 13th album, which is no mean feat for any musician.

Vince has had a massive year with releases on Get Physical, Tronic, SushiTech, All Day I Dream, his own Everysoul Audio and a host of remixes. 

Vince ends 2021 by presenting his label’s biggest and most adventurous release to date, ‘DnA [re]Sequenced’. This is also accompanied by the [re]Sequenced Sampler which features 3 brand new mixes from the DnA album by Vince himself. The album also features some of electronic music titans including Carl Craig, Claude Young, Jon Dixon, Steve Rachmad, John Beltran, Shawn Rudiman, Stephen Lopkina and Stephen Brown.

After the massive response to Watson’s ‘DnA’ album in 2019, Vince had wanted to carve a different spin on the LP by having some of the tracks remixed by his favourite Detroit ‘flavoured’ artists from the three places that have influenced his music: Scotland, Amsterdam, Detroit. 

We premiere his track ‘First Wave [808 Mix]’. The track is reminiscent of some classic Galaxy 2 Galaxy records from Underground Resistance. A punchy but still funky 808 drum workout locks in the groove while angelic style synth work transcends you to space. Warm and fluffy pads simmer through the track while a powerful baseline runs through your body, the heavenly lead bounces around the track with an entrancing melody. The track is powerful, euphoric and tranquil all at the one time. 

This is proper electronic music.

For Hotseat Recordings’ second release, Trans-Neptunian Orbit has stepped up with a 3 track, Electro influenced masterclass EP. Trans-Neptunian Orbit joined the Hotseat Family for our first release, with the contribution of “10 Years From Now” which was incredibly well received. 

This EP is a concept expressing the emotions felt when frantically searching through space for new human life forms. “Journey To The Unknown” & “Warp Speed” perfectly capture the excitement of the unknown. The third and final track “No Sign of Life'', is an atmospheric & melancholic trip that conveys the emotions of finding no more than barren wastelands on the “Journey to the Unknown”.
Trans-Neptunian OrbitIrish born Maurice Anthony Moran is a Berlin-based artist captivated in the sound of electro and anything in between, from techno to breaks to IDM. Influences to Maurice’s sound pallet go back as far as Kraftwerk but most notably from Detroit electro kingpins Drexciya. 

Maurice started DJing in 2016 at Bray Institute of Further Education on the DJ techniques and music production course taught by Sunil Sharpe. During this time Maurice developed his skills as a DJ and began the learning process for production. Over the years Maurice had the privilege to play alongside the likes of Alienata, AIROD, The Exaltics, Radial and Umwelt, while playing the closing set for Fuinneamh festival in 2017.

In order to expand his artistic reach, Maurice chose to wield 3 aliases. His main artistic identity is Maurice Anthony Moran but he has two accompanying aliases, Patient 808 and Trans-Neptunian Orbit. Patient 808 is a concept piece based in a post-apocalyptic world annihilated by an airborne virus, with fast-paced dark electro and techno the main focal point. For Maurice’s concepts based around space and time, he uses the alias Trans-Neptunian Orbit. The sound pallet includes fast-paced electro breaks with glitchy sound effects accompanied by acid basslines and soul drenching harmonies. Anything outside these sound brackets is released under Maurice's main musical identity, Maurice Anthony Moran.
