Rival Consoles reveals the latest single from his upcoming album Overflow, out December 3. Pre-order it here: https://idol.lnk.to/Overflow

I Like features the mapping of data from dancer Tia Hockey’s personal monologue, which controls the volume of the chords based on the activity of her voice — drawing attention to things happening behind the curtain, invisible systems, algorithms.

“With this piece, the dancers were recording lots of personal monologues about how they felt when using social media. Alex the choreographer suggested exploring the words ‘I like’ as it’s so abundant a term and action online. With a simple momentary recording of this I began crafting a piece, in which melancholic chords would gently be triggered by Tia’s voice, as well as manipulating the words ‘I like.. and they were like..’ with a very chaotic system. I wanted to create a mood that was a weird combination of contentedness, sadness and strangeness.“ — Ryan Lee West

Three Spheres Remixes represents the final chapter in the Three Sphere’s series. As with his previous album releases, Kodomo hands over the keys to exceptional artists, who each add their own special magic to the tracks. Remixers this round include Felix Fleer, Michal Wolski, The Sight Below, Corey Fuller, Black Light Smoke, Kaeoflux, Micah Frank, and NRV.

Felix Fleer kicks things off with his post IDM remix of “Spinfoam”, taking the spastic drums from the original and tastefully blending them with a series of intricate and nuanced variations. The Kaeoflux remix for “Heat Death” begins with a cinematic burst, before leading you down a path of sublime beats slowly flowing along effortlessly. The track concludes by melting back into the abyss from which it began. Corey Fuller strips “Invisible Lines” down to a few piano chords and a hauntingly delicate vocal melody, further drawing out the classical nature of this piece. The Sight Below slows things down with his take on “Pink Clouds” which feels hazy and heavy like a lost echo from the original. Michal Wolski launches you into a hypnotic storm with his remix for “A Meditation On Anxiety”, creating a swirling momentum of atmosphere and hard edged techno percussion. Black Light Smoke’s gritty house take on “Continuum” harkens back to the early days of The Orb, fusing vocal samples, an infectious bass line, and a foundational driving dance beat that is made for the club. Micah Frank takes a radical turn on “Invisible Lines”, playing super slow live drums over a bed of washed out guitars and dreamy synth pads and noises. The album’s final rework is from Foil Imprints newcomer NRV, who focuses solely on the ambient qualities of “Pink Clouds”, evoking the images of the fleeting colors in the summer sky’s horizon, bringing the the album to a stunning close.

Artist Bryan Graf created further variations from the Three Spheres cover art.

In a strange way, the songs of the new @bongbeck EP "NOTRE DAME" tune in to a heavy time full of unusual viruses. The voices pitched in all directions over syncopated driving rhythms, sound like songs of prayer, out into an apocalyptic shadowy land. With the third Bongbeck EP, the KE//ER label once again refers to the enormous talent of the Berlin producer.
