A Day in the Life - is the first chapter of a dedicated series fully curated by Steve Bicknell for KR3.

This bold new work by the veteran English artist provides an insight into the mind of the artist.

Side A features three tracks by The Evader, another face of Steve Bicknell. An obscure intro leads us straight to the point: 4/4 sounds, repetitive and hypnotic, not afraid to be heavy. In fact, that's the point: to take everything that is a burden to us and embrace it. After all, there can be no light without darkness.

On Side B, Steve Bicknell has a killer approach. A parallel rail to Side A, with a more furious, still gloomy approach. He moves in the same direction but vents different emotions. The sound is harder, rawer, faster and more impetuous.
An outro ends the EP, as if to represent a circle closing: The first lap inside A day in the life.

Steve Bicknell - A Day In The Life 05 [Artaphine Premiere]

- About Safar Collective

Safar Collective - a multidisciplinary art community, est. 2021 - was formed on the idea of exploration through experimentation. Our shared love for leftfield and esoteric guided us through 3 closed group experiments in the past that culminated in our prior compilations.

With the release of this VA, we are transitioning into a left-field label with the vision of building an ecosystem that nurtures leftfield artists and showcases unconventional art.

- Perceptions I

'Perceptions I' journeys across different realms from drum and bass to broken beats through glitch-hop while continually inhabiting a progressive space that breathes novelty and inventiveness. Each composition feels alive, supple, and evolving.

We invite the listeners for a deep dive into the VA to unravel the ineffable and experience the raw emotions firsthand.

- Safar and friends

Alongside artists from within Safar, 'Perceptions I' includes notable artists from the Indian underground, from the likes of I7HVN, Watashi, Rafiki, Audio Units, Flux Vortex, and Shantam. We hope to carve our sweet niche with them in the Indian underground.

Audio Units - Hidden Variables

Audio Units’ ‘Hidden Variables’ builds through an otherworldly vibe and broken beats while creating anticipation for what's to come next. On each repetition, one tends to find something new in the track. The track has an air of equal parts enticement and apprehension, a rare combination.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Release Info :

Kerrie - Machine Alliance [Tresor Records // Tresor.370]

At what point does a new tool or technology become so integral to a process as to be intrinsic? And what happens if that technology starts to subordinate its user?

By reflecting on these questions Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general.

With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP’s title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings.

One, based on the potential for machines to take over or replace humans, is a key idea of sci-fi that seems closer to reality with the arrival of machine learning and real artificial intelligence.

The second has a much more positive view, one where the “alliance” is between the artist and machine to create the music, a process she places immense value on, being both cathartic and therapeutic, whilst also being a vehicle of addition and expansion:

“I feel that it’s a collaboration…the machines are precise in their timing and I add the human touch (literally) in the live performance which adds natural imperfections, so we both provide something the other can’t. There’s also an element of growth; the machines get updates and so are always expanding in terms of their musical capabilities. And the more I push my own technical abilities I feel we are growing together in a constant synchronised dance.”

This “dance” results in four tracks (plus three digital-only bonuses) of classic machine funk which combine the aforementioned ideas in sci-fi with a deep lifelong affection for techno. Tracks like Ode to the D, and Technopoly Dream display this love through her choice of sounds and structure, both intentional and subconscious, while Replicants, and Human in the Loop project into other genres to fully round this release off as a contemporary example of music rooted in both past and future. 

Tracklist :
1. A1. Machine Alliance 
2. A2. Symbiosis
3. B1. Technopoly Dream
4. B2. Ode To The D
5. Replicants (Digital Bonus)
6. System & Strutcure (Digital Bonus)
7. Human In The Loop (Digital Bonus)

TL PREMIERE : Kerrie - Replicants [Tresor Records]

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-owelle-magnetic-kins

A month since the potent release of 'Captivated Heart: Remixed' from Canadian producer Hrdvsion, Creaked Records gear up to issue their second extended player from Geneva-based producer Owelle. Presenting three tracks, 'Entwined Synergies' EP delivers a synthesis of club-oriented electronic music spanning acid, breakbeat and IDM. Our pick from the EP is the opening track 'Magnetic Kins' - a brazen mechanical patchwork of bass-heavy breaks, squelching TB-303 bass lines and future resonating oscillations. The track reaches its zenith in the final minute, culminating with a cyber-baroque outro.

Owelle - Magnetic Kins [Creaked]

Join us on a journey through space and time with the debut album of Jeremiah Soft, the mystical figure now returning to Dalmata Daniel. He made the album between November 2021 and June 2022, a time during which he got closer to nature, long walks, and existing in forests in general. Through 9 tracks and 60 minutes, we can wander around atmospheric universes, walk up the hills and down the paths of the mind of the artist.

Throughout the whole album, a sense of calmness is prevalent regardless of the rapidity of the songs. A dichotomy is created by the soft, acoustic sounding melodies and the quick, abruptly changing, metallic drum patterns. Just like the wilderness, it becomes a balanced system of tranquil harmony and tense alertness.
