Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as „pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the „industrial techno“ – movement. This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. However the mechanical framework is – no more, no less – a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.

PODCAST 051 features a photo from the ongoing protests in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Photo by DATO KORIDZE

Massive demonstrations have erupted in Tbilisi and other cities as a result of election falsification by the ruling party, the suspension of EU negotiations, anti-LGBTQ+ laws, authoritarian policies, and growing allegiance to the Kremlin. These protests have been met with violent crackdowns by riot police, including brutal assaults on journalists and widespread political repression.

More than 400 people have been arrested (age 15-60). 80% of them beaten and tortured in need of hospitalization. New laws further restrict freedom of peaceful expression during protest.

"Solidarity from Seoul"

Having earned his stripes within the esteemed halls of KHIDI,  a household name in Tbilisis’s nightlife scene, Hecate Legacy commands the attention of its audience with a haunting synthesis of rugged industrial rhythms and melancholic primordial melodies.

Diffuse Reality is a label with international presence from Europe to South America, and with over a decade of releases now in tow, has featured artists such as Electric Indigo, Terence Fixmer, Stanislav Tolkachev, Sunil Sharpe, and Arnaud Le Texier.

LSWD is a Tunisian artist returning to Diffuse Reality with his second ever EP release, meaning he has only exclusively released on the imprint thus far, and we are keen to hear more works in the future as he establishes his back catalogue.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Got to Learn" with a rolling and jackin' sound. The electrifying textures pierce the airwaves with a gritty, bending feeling, while the dancing synth notes create a moody vibe amidst lots of atmospheric elements in this raw, uptempo jam.
