Glimmering medieval weaponry forged, polished and brandished, Zhenya Lavrinov arrives to take us back in time and beyond the stars. As LVRIN, he appeared opposite Maoupa Mazzochetti on a split EP for Arma – but one pockmark in a scattering of machine-powered ruminations for respected, proudly underground labels – and now he returns to wield a new alias across five tracks of ominous, night-creeping sonics.

The tracks making up Milky Way were recorded by Bryansk-based Lavrinov between 2013 and 2020, reflecting a side of his musical demanour not betrothed to the demands of the dancefloor. Golden Axe is far from ambient though – this is still resolutely rhythmic music spoken by specifically sculpted synths and powered by purposeful sequencers.

There’s a cosmic theme at play here, but ‘Moon Influence’ speaks as much to ancient rites and man’s obsession with lunar forces as any space-age sci-fi symbolism you might associate with gurgling electronic patterns. ‘Rhythmbox From Space’ may be brimming with analogue freakery, but it’s also locked into a rhythmic mantra which tracks back to the dawn of humanity. 

Cementing the philosophy of the record visually, Milky Way comes clothed in a striking artwork by Alina Vinogradova. Lavrinov’s Golden Axe seems to hail from this very space depicted on the cover, speaking through time-honoured tools and revelling in universal mysticism as it opens a new chapter in his darkly seductive, psychosomatic music.

Our 4th podcast is made by Asymmetrical. 
He is involved in a lot of projects, some of them known like Fauna53 (along with LKSMN and LDWG), Cobret Voltaire (with LDWG) and Distorted Portrait, others of them unknown (and probably it's better for everyone in this way). Further he‘s a resident DJ of collective Zerouno in Rome and, under the pseudonym of John English,  part of the Knick Knack Yoda team.
He also runs the label Raw Culture known for its great mixture of  industrial-fired dungeon music ranging from  wave to machinic and raw rhythm excursions (especially in his own productions) to dirty electro and drum experiments.
His mix is blending together all these different times, sounds, instruments, rhythms and genres to a powerful and eclectic ride straight to the eerie and back.

Leipzig peeps: by cosmic Intervention Alice in Flames and Asymmetrical will play at the same party at Mjut this Saturday 30th of April. Join us!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 205th Premiere of 2022, we have a track by the veteran German Electro DJ, producer & composer Martin Matiske, aka "Blackploid", titled ‘Neurotransmitter’ from his forthcoming EP "Planetary Science" on the independent British record label, founded in Sheffield in 2012, specialising in electronic music : Central Processing Unit (CPU Records).

The EP will be available on September 16, 2022 in Limited Edition 12" Vinyl EP + Digital.

Release Info :

The Blackploid resurgence of recent years continues to gather steam. After laying dormant for some time, Martin Matiske’s project roared back into life in 2021 with a pair of EPs for Central Processing Unit. It doesn’t look like he’ll be taking his foot off the gas any time soon - not only does the new Blackploid collection Planetary Science complete Matiske’s hat-trick for the Sheffield label, but it also serves as a prelude to the full-length album which Blackploid will deliver on CPU in 2023.

If that LP is as good as the tracks we get here, then it’s safe to say that we’re on to a winner. This EP contains a quartet of top-tier machine-funk productions, the kind of crisp post-Drexciya joints we’ve come to know and love Blackploid for. Each track on Planetary Science makes good on the record’s title by delivering club tackle flecked with FX which sound distinctly like spaceships blasting off into the cosmos.

There is also progression across Planetary Science. While it still aims for the dancefloor, Planetary Science is a somewhat more textured listen than either Strange Stars or Cosmic Traveler, Blackploid’s previous CPU drops. Most notable is the increased use of synth pads, with Matiske draping chord progressions over all of these tracks in order to give his music a newfound depth.

Blackploid’s subtle evolution is clear from the opening track. ‘Dimension Unknown’ may begin with a precision-engineered groove reminiscent of an early Legowelt joint, but things soon soften with the introduction of some rich keyboard chords. A few well-chosen bleeps and bloops flit in and out of the mix, but whereas some would use these to scuff up the track further here they are warm and playful.

(...)

Planetary Science closes out with ‘Neurotransmitter’. On this cut, Blackploid returns somewhat to where we started off, finding a midpoint between ‘Dimension Unknown’s more spacious feel and the livewire flavour of ‘Magnetron’ and ‘Wire’. Tension remains, particularly when Matiske serves up one of the EP’s snakiest basslines, but there’s also a deftness to the synth pads here which makes ‘Neurotransmitter’ a little softer around the edges.

Blackploid limbers up for a forthcoming full-length on Central Processing Unit with Planetary Science, an EP of stargazing electro joints that quietly expand the project’s sonic world.

Night Rhythm
⏤
Under the celestial tapestry of a shimmering night sky, "Night Rhythm" pulses with the mystical allure of the moonlit dance. Silhouettes sway in harmony on the sandy shores, their movements casting fluid shadows that ripple with the serene beats of distant drums. In this nocturnal revelry, every motion celebrates the ancient stories whispered by the stars.

FIRST INTROVERSIONS

PQ17 - Infinite Depth

More rusty and hypnotic sounds are brought by DJ soFa and his newest compilation, Elsewhere LVI. Released on Emotional Response, the 4th compilation of SoFa’s series is meant to move us to the gloomier part of his 12 track travelogue.
Lamusa II and his track Artificiale moves organic sound waves accompanying them with rhythmic shady synth pads, turning our listening journey to somewhat uneasy, yet fascinating trip across the jungle of sleazy and meditative notes.  Elsewhere LVI will come out on Emotional Response.
