MAGIC021 - Gabriola "Believer"

An essential and prolific figure in Australia’s electronic music community, producer Reptant officially presents his new tech-house inspired alias Ulo. S for ANIMA13. What started as a one-off live experiment for Melbourne’s Techworld party series, Ulo now reveals Beat Seeker - an EP of serious groove and a pure timeless quality. Beat Seeker advances on the signature old-school electro Reptant style and merges it with euphoric melodies and crisp, driving basslines. A dear friend of Animalia, Beat Seeker is another family affair that truly represents our entire ethos of colourful and mind bending sounds.

Animalia would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri peoples, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Our next release comes from a place very close to home, with our resident Lisene’s debut album. As one of the originators of the psychedelic prog-trance hybrid sound so ubiquitous within today’s music scene, the “Science Friction” LP is his love letter to the genre, as well as all of the various influences that have shaped his sound over the years. 

Created over several years with a perfectionist’s attention to detail, “Science Friction” flits between moods and sonic environments with ease while retaining the cohesion of Lisene’s inimitable production style. Despite being an album, this is still very much a record for the DJs, featuring heads-down club tracks and bass-heavy electro crafted with precision and a cinematic sense of scale. For the home listeners, expansive slo-mo soundscapes and cerebral synth odysseys float high above the clouds, with widescreen details revealing themselves ever further with each re-play.

“This album has been 15 years in the making and represents a culmination of everything I’ve worked towards in defining my own sound and style without letting myself be pigeonholed. I’m immensely proud of each track -  it really reflects where I was at musically while making this, while giving a glimpse into my future sound. This is a record that deserves to be played on the finest sound systems and hi-fis, and I couldn’t be more happy with how it’s turned out. Dive in and enjoy!” 

Combining influences from across the spectrum of dance music with a cinematic sense of psychedelia and his own inimitable production skills, “Science Friction” is sure to see a lot of airtime across the festivals, after-parties and living rooms of the world this summer and beyond.

On Rotation is a Leeds based label, event & mix series run by Chris I’Anson, Lisene & Adam Pits. Artwork illustrated and designed by Patch D Keyes.

Release Date: 9th August 24 
Available on 12” Vinyl & Digital

Barna mainstay oma totem is dishing out the cerebral and dubby like it’s nobody’s business. 3 tripped-out accelerators courtesy of the Oyster Cult debutant, complete with an OK EG rework for good measure.

No messing with this purveyor of reverb-drenched dynamics and fractal polyrhythm. But this time, rather than the inward contemplation of releases past, we get something a little more full-frontal.

Robust club gear rooted in ominous portent, opener ‘The Trick’ recalls the heyday of early 00s bass music. It’s tunnelling prog caught on a dark side flex. Then, in a coming together of kindred spirits, Melbourne hardware duo OK EG take it upon themselves to provide some introspection. Expect depth charge bass-weight primed for meditative moments. 

‘Choreos’ finds the Hivern Discs affiliate at his deftest. Intricate and kaleidoscopic with careful attention to rhythmic intricacies, but never at the expense of dancefloor propulsion. The same could be said for the follow-up. 

Equal parts driving and trance state-inducing, closing number ‘Mania’ has oma returning to the inky abyss from whence he came. Detailed, dubbed-out and quintessentially Kalahari.

Welcoming Barcelona-via-Naarm-based producer Xav / @xavxavp to the label with “In a Weird Cube”. After heavily rinsing Xav’s debut EP on DMO, we’re thrilled to present the artist’s subsequent release for your listening pleasure.

The weird, wonky and wonderful, are all characteristics synonymous with Xav’s already inimitable sound. Speak Louder follows suit, opening the EP with its wubby bassline and dubbed out chords. 

Pipeline exhibits a similar wonk to the opener, albeit picking up the pace. Skippy percussion and murky vocals make for a sinister mood; perfect for deep into the night. 

The EP takes a turn into a tripped out, downtempo domain with 2 Squared, while finally, Cube Tool closes things out with a sleezy, low slung tech house mood.

With the perfect fusion of Animalia’s wide realm of styles and foundations, comes up & coming Australian producer al dente, with a  minimal, modern take on peak-time bangers. Clean cut and futuristic, with a hint of early 2000’s minimal influence,  the al dente sound represents a fresh new wave of club-rollers whilst encompassing Animalia’s signature deep sound. 

Animalia would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri peoples, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
