"UXY Dosing© gives birth to MDM (Maximal Dance Music) which, beyond a sole matter of genre, remains linked to the high consumption of dextrose associated with milk, which de facto shares the same acronym as MDM (Maximal Dextrose & Milk). Read: Dextrose, energiser or poison?"

Get your milk at the ready, Maoupa Mazzocchetti is back with another batch of dextrose-saturated experiments.

With Maoupa, you never know what he's going to do next. If we were to put it simply, which isn't easy to do, his output matches experimental rhythms and abstract sound art to create bold and striking compositions which are rightfully described as raising more questions than answers. The first instalment of his UXY Dosing© (UD) album, a maximalist genre of electronic music that he's coined which is linked to the over-consumption of dextrose, came out last year and was explored in full in our Track By Track series. Now he's back with the follow up, another batch of unexpected and complex compositions that flaunt his dexterity at transcending genres and styles.

29 Speedway announces their second solo release “Hydra” by Japanese experimental electronic musician Yolabmi. A staple of the DIY experimental electronic scene in Tokyo, Yolabmi frequents hubs like FORESTLIMIT, spread, and spazio-rita. “Hydra” diverges from Yolabmi’s earlier body of work that previously explored soft ambient sounds, acoustic textures, and field recordings of wildlife; tracks that feel like they’re straight out of Tsukamoto’s 80s machine-body horror films, heavy with repetition and glitch where sampling creates mechanical conversations.Yolabmi’s grasp on sound design has been central to their creative process and is a through line across their shifting sound. In this 8-track EP, we hear Yolabmi strip away embellishments to focus on using sound design for its percussive and atmospheric capacities. Elements shift, tick, drip, chirp, and groan, building to a dark fugue. “Hydra” is a dizzying ride with an undercurrent of drones and a constellation of sounds that feel like they’re traveling at at the speed of light.

Released October 27, 2023

Lift off! This was spectacular beyond what I could have imagined. The starling murmuration at the Avalon Marshes in Somerset. Hundreds of thousands of birds departing from their roost on the reed beds. The numbers are hard to comprehend. First the silence - a timid chorus at this time of year - then the starlings start to chatter. Suddenly there is a build up of rumbling bass, like wind hitting the microphone or something about to erupt. Then the waves across the field, like ocean waves in the distance, both visually and sonically. And the lift off. The rumble becomes a satisfying silky carpet enveloping you overhead.

This repeats 3-4 times as different waves of departing starlings take flight. MAGICAL.

I edited 30 seconds at the end from when they've all left, to give perspective, so you can appreciate the decibels such a gathering produces.

Starling Murmuration Dawn Lift-Off

NAGA returns for its second offering: Immortal Mirth by Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist enereph. The 5 original works on the release were formed out of her deep contemplation of concepts ranging from Chinese cultural symbology to physical materials and the weight of navigating the human world we’ve found ourselves in.

She brings these themes into the sonic realm by weaving together influences of ambient music, Chicago footwork, the UK hardcore continuum and beyond - never failing to place her own unique imprint on each piece. enereph’s talent for orchestrating a plethora of machines is on full display, with a number of tracks birthed out of her astounding live PA sets.

The curtains open with the escalating tension of “Talisman”, a twisting soundscape of glass, metal & otherworldly sound design permeated by guttural bass drones. A mesmerizing prelude for things to come.

“Carved Nephrite” moves into faster territory, building energy with clubby kicks, cinematic bass stabs and an ear-catching arp. enereph’s knack for arrangement manifests as the track deconstructs itself midway and rebuilds into a cavernous apex.

“Cold Family” keeps the pace up with a mechanistic take on the footwork and jungle sound. The track quickly morphs through a staggering onrush of breaks, bleeps and alien sound design suited to hypnotize dancefloors at peak hours.

The fourth track moves into more atmospheric territory with splintered drums and swells of sub bass wrapped in bending chords. “Insolubility” evokes visions of a fogged-out 90s warehouse rave, dripping in futurism despite its nods to the past.

The last original track in the EP is a weightless ambient piece entitled “Numbers Fall From Stars”. Echoic synth plucks take the foreground & unfold a story through subtle moments of harmony and dissonance.

Rounding things off is a remarkable remix of “Cold Family” by Looting, a seasoned producer of shapeshifting club & ambient music and a core member of the vibrant underground community in the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territories of BC.
