Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new BL:ND' gem on 'Disturb •'.
On his debut for Disturb, set for release on March 4th, BL:ND takes the case to the ears and makes a point of being direct about his intentions.
Straight up, no questions asked, three tracks, demolition done. 
Whether it's the rhythmic menace of the title track, the dancing hypnosis of 'Exos', or the peak-time transcendence of 'RSA', the Swedish craftsman never leaves his skills in doubt.

BRAIS - Fuck Your Lipstick (Vertical Spectrum Remix)[Premiere | ECSY034]

Enter the arena

Superhugs

This series has been well received by the likes of Anastasia Kristensen, Slam and Stephanie Sykes amongst others, and is proving Hungarian Wincent has truly forged his own musical identity. He has been DJing and playing musical instruments since his early teenage years, and these days he has played all over France, Vietnam and Malta and has released on iconic labels like Tronic and Popof's Form. His own Cryptic label is his main concern now and is fast becoming one of techno's most essential outlets.

Opener 'Unmounted Lungs 08' is fast out of the blocks with pressurised drum programming and scraping, loopy synth textures getting you in the zone. As it rolls on, ever more frazzled pads and muggy, heavy atmospheres build and take you into a new and absorbing dystopian world.

Then comes 'Unmounted Lungs 09', another trance-inducing track of stripped back but heavy, spacious but intense techno that layers up sonar pulses, gritty synths and unrelenting drums into a truly powerful proposition.

Dave Wincent ‘Unmounted Lungs Series 04’ is out on Cryptic on 23rd October 2020 (Beatport) and 6th November 2020 (All Stores).

Fixon - Take Us Asteroid [Artaphine Premiere]

Sello: @rainbowtipi
Productor:  @linear-b

Desde el sello Rainbow Tipi (UK) nos llega la próxima referencia de Linear B titulada “Enter the Arena”. De este completo release, formado por cuatro canciones, tres originales y un remix, estrenamos “Can´t Get Right”, una de las canciones claves de esta referencia. 


Can’t get Right es una mezcla de Techno y house con sintetizadores que lo colocan en un mundo más vanguardista de lo que estamos acostumbrados en muchas piezas de techno, destacando una estructura y un uso peculiar de las percusiones. Se notan los 15 años de carrera…

Enter the Arena EP (inc Banshee remix)

PREMIERE: Linear B - Can’t Get Right [Rainbow Tipi]

Linear B - Enter the Arena EP (inc Banshee remix) [Tipi005]
Label: Rainbow Tipi
13th November 2020

Linear B builds on the success of his June release, Charon’s Crossing, with another superb techno offering on his own well regarded Rainbow Tipi, this time with a remix from Banshee.

After support has come in from tastemakers like DVS1, Noncompliant and Truncate, British artist Linear B is now right at the vanguard of the scene himself. He makes music that blurs the line between house and techno - it is always powerful and all consuming, but also comes with a wealth of subtle detail that makes a lasting impact.

Enter the Arena' came about after Linear B went to see Sasha & Digweed play a warehouse event in Amsterdam and the excitable crowd were high and happy on nitrous balloons (which are legal to sell in clubs in Amsterdam). "I settled into the night making little mental notes," he explains, "hence the words in the track, 'I remember now, this is how it is, this is how it's always been, which way will you run, which way will you fly, when you enter the arena.'” The result is a paranoid track with a menacing lead and the dark vocals, all on top of a rubbery, kinked techno groove that loops to perfection. The Banshee remix is a twisted techno stomper with a wild lead that will freak out the floor late into the night.
The excellent 'Can't Get Right' is the sound of Linear B dealing with everyday pressures and channeling that through music, which he uses as a way of escaping the mundane nature of daily life. What he comes up with is an atmospheric groove with slick hits and toms and slithering bass that draws you deep inside.

Last of all, 'Superhugs' is a techno love song, which was a secret project to send to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day while she was away in Seville. "I sang it in a 1920s crooner style with a radio mic, it kinda sounds sinister and scary." It is a twitchy, unsettling track with a spooky atmosphere and yet more superb sound design.

Linear B’s fine run of form continues apace on this standout new EP.
