INDIVIDUAL DROPS by ICE_EYES is a cold-blooded showcase of dynamic sound organization, where sputtering shreds of sound cluster into larger scale rhythm units, before shattering into new formations once again. Sounds here are sliced, combed, atomized and always performing new acrobatics around the indeterminate no man's land of the rhythm-pitch transition zone, yet somehow never straying too far from advanced dancefloor-ready syncopations. 
The tonal medium of these broken rhythmic arrangements immediately suggests something trembling with cutting edge technological infrastructure, where harmonically dense pads evoke a long forgotten IDM cgi landscape, where hybridized sounds rattle through an elaborate piping system. Warbled mumblings remind us this music is still situated in the realm of the human, but one where every transmission first passes through a chain of paranoia, interception, re-encodings and subversive content barricades. 
The album is finished off with each track rearranged once again by a handful of masterful remixers. 

ICE_EYES about INDIVIDUAL DROPS 
“In seeking of new challenges, our latest work Individual Drops, is focusing on new evolving sonic material from a more microscopic point of view, by integrating more obvious granular synthesis ideas. The purpose is to create a new formula that works both in sculpting sound design, and the same time respects our dystopian orientation as an archetype. At this point, we engage more intensive, ever changing, faintly anorgasmic, sonic motifs, that work as a guidebook to an overall fragmented picture. 
Arcadia, as an art form that can be used as a metaphor of utopia, is always present at the background of that image, holding all parts together, like an anchor in a turbulent sea, resembling the Argo floating on these angry waters. Space or Khoros is a variable of time balancing from small to large places, but not in an paternal way. Granular synthesis at its core, forming each sound in a discrete way, like a drop of rain falling in a pit of clear water.”

@hadji-hajj
Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us. We need to let these flames manifest themselves in the world by creating art. Let the fire burn freely, let it show us the light. Let music strike fire from the heart and bring tears from the eyes.
It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

Artist: @benfikaa
Album: Ruinas
Release Date: June 26, 2020
Format: Digital

Carlos Marta is the Tijuana-based producer behind Benfika, an enigmatic music project from Infinite Machine that released his debut on the imprint back in 2015 with the EP 121214, taking him to open for Four Tet, Ben Ufo and play at Mutek festival in Mexico. In his most recent comeback Ruinas, he presents a mystical and ethereal release where he unveils his most overwhelming and rousing side with 5 absorbing and captivating tracks.

Ruinas is an eerie exploration on organic, celestial and crystalline sounds. A set of compositions effused in a synthetic and futuristic orchestral experience that incites cathartic sensations. The warm and meticulously put-together melodies of the 5 pieces that compose this EP generates a utopian sonic environment with otherworldly and mystical backgrounds.

Influenced by the powerful narrative components in Benfika’s production, Ruinas summons the memories and resilience of another dimension, where mythical surroundings emerge with arcane possibilities. Cyclic imaginaries of ancestral yet futuristic references collide in a dialogue between mixed dualities; pain and healing, desolation and disclosure, uncertainty and hope, evoking the feeling of an ongoing transformation.

The carefully processing on the melodies, samples and tonalities that Benfika meticulously assembled in
Ruinas don’t follow an accurate musical structure but were rather conceived as a living sonic-ecosystems, dissolving in complex layers of aerial ambiences.

In Exodexo the delicate harmonies of otherworldly frequencies resonate like an alien whisper while the gathering of synthetic voices in Pentimento creates a sacred invitation for a futuristic ritual. The deep and trance-indulging sonorities of Mundo Schizo crash with a percussive field of disruption, and the uncanny atmospheres of Ríos de Azoth dissolves for the unearthly vibes of Ollín, where overwhelming choruses and dislocated pianos mutate in immaculate melodies.

Ruinas It’s a promise of a new beginning, where devotional possibilities can coexist with the inherent chaos of spirituality. It is music created from a wide perception of entropy and the prospect of becoming-with transmutation. A reprogramming of the organic existence for unphysical transcendence.

Rituals that stream violently
through infinite cracks in time
generational chants stored in the abyss
reveal intrinsic shadows coded into every seed.
