Kangding Ray . Solens Arc
Release : January 2014 on raster-noton

A stone thrown, just to watch it fly. A projectile launched for the sole purpose of drawing a ballistic trajectory in the sky.
The Solens arc is what remains after the subtraction of the goal; a simple parabolic curve defined by gravity, impulse and starting angle. No target to hit, no catharsis to wait for, just the beauty of the flight.

The Arc as the purpose, in the form of four variations, constructed from disintegrated melodic textures and dismantled beats. Each sequences are assembled seamlessly into dense, evolving compositions, while keeping their autonomy, and their role in the global dramaturgy.

Pointillist serial loops morph into abrasive rave anthems, broken club rhythms are refitted into uneven patterns, like deconstructivist sound architectures. Industrial techno stompers dissolve into granular sound waves and filtered space pads, before being overtaken by cinematic drums and rising arpeggios.

Solens Arc is Kangding Ray’s fourth Album for raster-noton.

Amber Decay

Stephen Brown is an institution when it comes to cutting-edge Detroit Techno made in Europe and therefore needs no introduction! Having recorded for legendary labels like Transmat, Djax-Up-Beats, Music Man, Subject Detroit and in recent times for rather new and promising imprints like Heliocentric Music, Skudge and Indigo Aera he has always been on top of the game since almost two decades and knows how to convince with his trademark hi-tech soul. His new release called Illuminace EP marks the return of Mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less and brings two killer tunes from the vaults of the Realtime label boss, while the a-side with SD1 aims clearly at the dancefloors of our beloved underground clubs, the b-side with Free & Easy comes along with a great portion of compelling emotions and funk!

The quality of Stockholm LTD’s 2016 output has been hard to top, with acclaimed full length ‘Isle of Real’ from label boss Pär Grindvik in May, followed by a split EP from Grindvik and SLOBODA label head Nihad Tule in September.

And the Stockholm born, Berlin­based imprint is right back with another lethal VA, ‘A Number of Thoughts’. Their 39th release combines contributions from Dutchmen Doka, Sinfol and Octual plus Belgian newcomer Phara, as well as Grindvik himself.

Doka’s ‘Hidden’ layers staggering, tribal percussion under sinister robotic formants. Label boss Grindvik follows up with The Order, where jagged waves of ice build and swell to a dramatic breakdown, to be broken against warm chords and deep harmonies.

On the flipside, Phara turns out 6 minutes of thundering, stuttering techno, while Sinfol and Octual round off the EP with ‘Signals’, as syncopated toms fire under breathy moans.

Arts Gallery was born from the collaboration of two very talented minds. Asmar & Gëinst 2x12” package is unique. each of the two artists presents themselves in their own space. this space is also shared in another bigger territory. Arts Gallery. Alchemy is a kind of philosophy: a kind of thinking that leads to a way of understanding. This Duchamp quote describes really well this record.

This is only the preview of 2 records out of 8. You can pre-order the record here:

Artist: Various 
Title: Format V.A.
Format: Vinyl / digital
Release dates:
Vinyl release part 1 - 29/01/2018
Vinyl release part 2  - 19/02/2018
Digital release whole V.A - 19/02/2018

Following 11 hotly tipped EPs, Format now delivers its first compilation release, packed to the brim with bomb cuts from both veterans as new faces.
This first Format compilation is a prime example of the label’s signature sound. Featuring an impressive variety of musical perspectives, it’s a mint snapshot of Format’s ever adventurous view on techno.

Format lays down an impressive array of minimal-tinged and powerful dance floor techno laced with depth and atmosphere. There’s quite a lot to enjoy here to say the least; a very special appearance is made by legendary NY-producer Mike Parker, whose off-beat ‘Necklace Dancer’ perfectly reflects Format’s penchant for abstract techno. It nestles well among chunky four-to-the-floor material from various trusted label associates: ROD delivers a raw house-flavored banger on ‘Acine’, while TWR72’s ‘EXP19’ explores techno’s darker territories. Label curator, Juan Sanchez, also steps up to the game with ‘Warthog’, a high-octane piece of fiery techno that captures the man’s highly anticipated sound. Topping off, new label signees such as Mark Groot and Optics deliver intense cuts that already make us look forward to more of their studio output. 
Format V.A. will be released on two separate vinyl releases, followed by a digital release featuring all nine tracks. The first 200 vinyl releases will be made available in transparent vinyl.
The release features artwork by DEFRAME, and is based on the refraction of light. It is meant to represent the illusion of a tiny hypnotic multiverse, where each plane exists in a different time and space.

Symmetrical Behaviour ( @vsk_crs + @conrad-van-orton ) - Superconducting Harmonic Oscillator EP [SOMA564]

1. Superconducting Harmonic Oscillator
2. Quantum Interference Device
3. Amplitude Spectral Density
4. Resonant Antennae

After a short hiatus, the dynamic duo of VSK & Conrad Van Orton return once with their collaborative project, Symmetrical Behaviour. After a stead stream of releases via Soma over the last couple of years. The pair took time out to focus on solo project but return with a vengeance with the Superconducting Harmonic Oscillator EP which furthers their experiments in sound design and high-powered Techno.

Title track Superconducting Harmonic Oscillator kicks of the EP at a furious pace as highly charged atmospheres create and emphatically large sound for the pairing suitably tough beats to hammer through. Quantum Interference Device goes down a more direct path are expertly crafted rhythms overlap against a backdrop of highly evolved developed drones and synths. Amplitude Spectral Density keeps the tempo moving but leans of a more industrial tip with crashing beats submerged against articulately mangled synths that drive home the true force of the track. Resonant Antennae closes out the new EP from Symmetrical Behaviour and really has them show off their production prowess. Jarring and off kilter rhythmic structure combine to deliver a truly head pounding track complete with the pairs stylistic atmosphere manipulation.
