Pay What You Want

Buhlu - Occupying Empty Space

Connecting the sonic domains of reverie and motion, Wolf Tech’s lustrous new EP “Navigate” is a mesmerizing odyssey through ethereal instrumentals, crystalline rhythms and robust basslines. Flavoring classic sound styles with new-school aesthetics that blur the boundaries between classic dub, psychedelic glitch, rhythm and blues, jazz and world beat, “Navigate” is a fanciful play on genre that cannot be curtailed into any single category. A testament to the diversity of modern psychedelic electronica, Wolf Tech’s high-tech styling holds true as a downtempo voyage in one moment and hypnotic dance floor adventure in the next.

A Path Untold is the ever-expanding musical vision that producer Daniel Merrill (previously of Aligning Minds) has been slowly but steadily building for years, carefully constructing a sound that you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else. His alchemical style has evolved through observing, collecting and fusing together a variety of diverse elements from genres such as future garage, slow/deep house, downtempo/ambient, and idm. Additionally, through experiences with Peruvian medicine work and group-based healing ceremonies, a loving fascination with that culture has also weaved its way into his compositions. With the utmost honor and respect paid to these long-standing traditions and sounds, he feels it is in this fusion of mediums there lies an incredible opportunity to unify cultural realms. By bringing qualities of sacred healing experiences to the dancefloor and utilizing the limitless palette of modern electronic music production, the boundaries between worlds are blurred, using music to explore the balance between dualistic elements like illumination/darkness, past/future, tradition/innovation, euphoria/melancholy, natural/artificial, and individual/collective, all as an expression of unity and holistic oneness. Think mystical melodic story-telling through the use of explorative texture and harmonic bass presence, calling into existence the sound of alternate realms of beauty, intrigue and wonder.

The newest release from A Path Untold, ‘Wander to Serve’, is a full-length offering of 9 tracks that envelops the listener in a sonic world carefully constructed through a powerful combination of uniquely varied genre elements.

The album draws upon a personal account of transformation and transmutation, each track a form of therapy and self-expression shaped around the need to transmute pain and struggle into beauty and triumph. Over the course of Daniel’s 17-year journey as a music producer, his relentless exploration through the genre spectrum has allowed him to retain an objectivity necessary for the fusion of eclectic stylistic influences. His alchemical style has evolved over the years through observing, collecting and fusing together a variety of inspirations, bringing together elements from future garage, slow house, downtempo/ambient, world music and idm.

Additionally, through his experiences with Peruvian medicine work and group-based healing ceremonies, a loving fascination with that culture has also weaved its way into his compositions. With the utmost honor and respect paid to these long-standing traditions and sounds, he feels that it is in this fusion of mediums there lies an incredible opportunity to unify cultural realms. Bringing qualities of sacred healing experiences to the dancefloor, and utilizing the limitless palette of modern electronic music production to create transcendent healing experiences, the lines are blurred between worlds, utilizing music and creative expression to explore the balance between dualistic elements like illumination/darkness, past/future, tradition/innovation, euphoria/melancholy, natural/artificial, individual/collective, all as an expression of unity and holistic oneness.

‘Wander to Serve’ is a tribute to the notion that we are here collectively to be of service to one another - to help liberate each other, awaken, and create. That “To fully be of service, you must allow your heart to truly wander” through the infinite spectrum of experience in all of its dualistic nature, including facing fears, sorrows and challenges along the path of keeping your heart fully open in order to give and receive, in cyclical oscillation. This process manifests itself as a transmutation of life events, the concept of turning poison into medicine, darkness into light.

"I think both tunes come at a point in my life when I was forced to accept the idea of working for the capitalist society. At the moment by being a teacher for the French state, which is something that goes at the opposite of my view of what real knowledge is and how education should be lead for children's life, and at the extent, adult's life (knowing should lead to doing.) I try to conciliate my own thoughts and vision of the world with State’s schools, which are places where most indoctrinate the youth with the capitalist ideology (and the neoliberal doctrine), or a place of “miseducation”, as Malcolm X expressed in his own time.

So 'Prone' is about being forced to incline to a higher power. But there's a duality because you could prone for the capitalist and dominant society, but you can also decide to fight against this ideology, which lead 'Prone' to also be understood as some kind of predisposition (the “artistic destiny” in art’s aesthetic) of some people in every society, a group of individuals than can and will deconstruct traditions and ordinary views of the majority in order to achieve, for humankind and/or themselves, a greater view, a greater purpose and a greater meaning to life than just being a tool in the Machine.”





In regards to Active Sleep, I wanted to express the idea that when I'm out of my little bubble (alone or with like-minded people), I feel kind of trapped in a society I can't accept as it is, surrounded by people that think too differently (which as, for me at least, a lot to do with the power of capitalist's ideology). So when I have to go out of that bubble, for example by going to work, I'm in some kind of 'active sleep', I'm some sort of ghost, just here pretending I'm the same as people around (but they and I both know it's not really the case). I want to be that ghost to protect myself, and I'm pretending to act normal but deep inside I’m fighting against the structure I'm in and the people that decided to accept that structure for what it is (so basically not changing anything in that structure and in themselves). I'm sleeping with those people because they aren't giving good food to my brain; I'm sleeping in those capitalist structures because I understand them and my thinking go further than those pre-built ways of thinking. So I'm active... active in this forced sleep. I stay real to myself, I listen to my own thoughts and my inner identity and I refuse to let this society and zombies dictate to myself how I must think and behave. 

The fact that there’s no snare on that tune’s rhythmic expresses the idea that I go to those places and see those people without (most of the time) interacting with them, without trying to "attack" them ( = the snare in a composition – there’s only one snare in Active Sleep) with my different thinking and their own build truth. I can be myself with my students, but I see most adults as dead people because they killed their inner child and creativity and I have no time to waste (at least that's how I see it now) to try to "save" them.

Newcomer Johny Pablo impresses with the Pinpricks of Light remix, and Key-G takes on his own Third Eye Girl to close out the set.
