"As Typeless steps into its fourth release, label head Aloka turns eyes and ears to the
horizon with a shapeshifting drop of breakbeat, electro and ambient. Fusing together
textural arrangements and genre hybrids, he sets his sights on
experimentation with ‘Inta’.

The opening track ‘Inta’ moves with a dreamy, indirect gaze and wistful melodies as though
sighing itself into existence. Amongst it all sits a subtle beat which carries it into the
dancefloor realm, yet it’s when they apex together that its weight blooms from the core. ‘B4
XL’ begins almost as an ensuing chapter to its predecessor with its ambient washes, but
soon ripens into an antagonistic electro number that tumbles between raging synths and
breaks.
On the B-side, ‘Chroma’ diffracts into a million colours, glassy eyed in its introduction but
hiding tyrannica kicks and syncopations underneath a swooping bass. The closing track
‘Movement’ slinks straight into a workout-ready guise, merging panting exhalations, pearly
synths and choppy breakbeats against the sensation of a spectral figure reaching a deep
state of flow.

With this second self-release on the label, it’s as though Aloka is so deeply immersed in his
complex vision that he’s stepped out of his body to watch it all unfold. There’s one word to
describe this image of him in his effortless performance as both label curator and signee:
fitting."

Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian debuts on Dekmantel Records’ UFO imprint with Mutations I & II, a series of two EPs following his debut album The Snake That Eats Itself and his collaborative records as AQXDM. The series marks his return to club focused solo material for the first time since 2017.

Originally written as inflection points for his typically boisterous and genre collapsing dj sets, Mutations deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences.

Mutations I: Death, Taxes and Hanger finds Aquarian gleefully contorting mid-2000s dnb tearouts, wrong footed IDM and progressive trance euphoria into thrilling new shapes. Fast techno, hi-tek jazz, amphetamine-addled filter house and breakcore join the fray in Mutations II: Delicious Intent as he pushes intensity levels past breaking point. Whichever the touchstone, the results are clear: distinctly modern, highly-propulsive body music with an unapologetically emotive core.
