INFO:
Gracing Token with a 12” of reliable effect, Sterac (a.k.a. Steve Rachmad) offers 4 titles that go beyond the club - balancing raw Detroit influences and contemporary depth. With a reputation built on years of developing his scene through important record releases and local as well as international activity, ‘Light in the Darkness’ confirms Rachmad’s artistic relevance in a quickly developing scene. With a tone-setting introduction for the EP, Rachmad immediately grips the listener’s attention with the pragmatic yet nostalgic ‘Mangled’. Chord stabs inch away from a brutal on-beat drum sequence, a technique responsible for many hits in the genre, this time tastefully repolished through spreaded wooden percussion in direct support. ‘Mangled’ boasts what A1’s should - a worthy first impression - before luring us into what can be considered the apex of the EP. ‘Light in the Darkness’ claims the project title with a gradual exploration through celestial bodies. A minimal opening with a simple acid bassline shows a great deal of attitude before the listener gets caught in an unexpected tide of cosmic pads, dimensionalizing an initially linear record . With slow waves of rich synth work enveloping the only anchor to time that is rhythm, the result is a closed-eyed dance floor experience to be selected in prime conditions. Thick pads are immediately offered again, this time more orchestral than mental. The softness of this primary sound design is expertly dissected by a razor sharp resonant top synth and an upward drum construction, completing the spectrum of sound and unveiling a record with a size fit for warehouse capacities. Rachmad adds almost cinematic suspense to the EP with ‘S.O.’ - certainly not to be underestimated. This leads us to the project’s closer ‘Solidify’, a delirious club groover. With a sound as bent and confronting as a house of mirrors, Rachmad leaves us with a final chapter to keep the heart racing past the end.

Premiere: FAÏG “Mila” - Nell

Now it's finally time to uncover the first release of Artaphine Records. Here two worlds collide creating various shapes in between. On one hand we have Tom Place, who is more known for his breakbeat excursions on Childsplay and Fly By Night, while Clotur takes more of a dive into the deep and groovy style of techno that resulted in releases on Counterchange and his own label Warok. 

Kicking off the EP with the solo track from Tom Place, setting off with the same pace as 'Tearing Down Your Walls', released on our VA last year. After that 'Melting Shapes' hits the perfect example of finding balance between artists with different production styles. With 'Object Model', the artists take the offbeat excursion while Clotur closes the EP with a 9-minute journey to the various corners of his production skills.

Melting Shapes EP:
1. Tom Place - By Myself
2. Tom Place x Clotur - Melting Shapes
3. Tom Place x Clotur - Object Model
4. Clotur - Agartha

Bandcamp release: August 11th

Tom Place & Clotur - Melting Shapes EP (Snippets)

Blocks EP

Arnaud Le Texier - Blocks EP - Children Of Tomorrow

El álbum Basquade, así titulado, significa “levántate” en la lengua extinta Charrúa y está dividido por episodios que cuentan una sola historia, comenzando con una pista cinemática donde el oyente se sumerge en un entorno selvático para dar preámbulo a lo que serán casi 40 minutos continuos de techno tribal con atmósferas místicas y orgánicas.

Historia:
El álbum nos relata una historia donde la jungla como representación de la naturaleza es asediada por el desmedido afán de progreso debiendo librarse del ataque mediante sus propios medios, así es como el llamado de Basquade (levántate) nos hace a todos partícipes y responsables de actuar en su defensa, esta es una analogía de ficción al hecho real de que todos deberíamos tomar conciencia y acción de la destrucción a la que contribuimos diariamente.

Cada track tiene un significado, por ejemplo Vanati Beada-o significa hijos de la madre tierra en Chaná, Is me da ti geppian significa tú quieres sembrar y Basquade significa levántate en Charrúa, el track Integrity contiene una entrevista a una mujer que pelea hace 15 años defendiendo las tierras Mapuches y Fear In The Jungle es una alusión al clima de tensión de la selva siendo atacada por la mano del hombre.  

Concepto:
La intención de este lanzamiento es acercarle a la escena techno una temática fuera del entorno club enmarcada en un contexto más humano y espiritual, haciendo mención de lenguas nativas americanas, luchas indígenas en defensa de la tierra y la lastimosamente infame destrucción de la biodiversidad.

A pesar de la seria temática que contempla, Basquade es un álbum muy agradable de escuchar, con un espíritu inspirador y fresco, con pasajes que van desde lo emocional y reflexivo a lo rítmico y bailable.

En conclusión, Basquade es un álbum con una estética Techno cinemática que a través de su concepto narrativo intenta promover conciencia medioambiental y la participación de la escena Techno en dicha temática.

*El dinero de las ventas será donado a la organización Amazon Watch dedicados a la protección de la Amazonia y a las comunidades indígenas vinculadas a ella.

El concepto del álbum está enfocado en ello.

Style: #Techno
Release date:  September 21, 2022

Recorded by Ekzon, Caen, France 2022.

Tracklist:
1. Infinite Circus
2. Infinite Circus (Tensal Remix)
3. Another Place
4. Interpolar
5. Mimetic Forms

Ekzon will release a new EP “Infinite Circus”' on Sf Records. It contains 4 tracks that have in common the representative sound of the french artist. 

Analog sound patterns that he elaborates with modular synthesizers and transport you to an experimental and hypnotic atmosphere. Between drums and a rich bass, the EP is made up of very organic and shiny drums. This complete EP is the result of tribal and futuristic influences. “Another place” is the quieter, more uptempo track, with a very punchy, bouncy chord around a heavy low kick. “Mimetic Forms” is more melodic with an arpeggio accompanied by a big white noise playing with it. “Infinite Circus” is purely synthetic and more enveloping. The remixed version of Tensal is as well made for the club and is very effective for a peak moment.

Force of Nature" represented the link between life and nature and techno, a work that goes across 10 years of his career, label boss Emmanuel is back with a new release on the core label. "Tiger Grass" is the natural evolution of his sound, defining a concept of timelessness and modern sound design, now more than ever he is committed to raise the awareness of what techno as a cultural and art-form language should communicate to the dance-floor now and tomorrow.

Arresto Temporaneo was born very spontaneously as the natural continuation of a collaboration that has
lasted for over a year with Tamburi Neri, Adiel and Danza Tribale.
It is pure magic when seemingly different worlds meet and create a dialogue which is the foundation of successfully bringing the creation of this record into fruition. The EP functions as the fusion between the past and the present of the musical experiences of all of us.
Arresto Temporaneo was born by cutting a text “Prepariamoci ad un arresto temporaneo” that the artists liked. The sentence is free to interpret as any of the listeners wish, there is a deliberate reason why the subjective interpretation is avoided.
The EP is filled with the voice and lyrics of A.B. The track "Silenzio" symbolises a moment with which all of us, in spite of ourselves, had to deal with, the deafening noise of silence that can sometimes be devastating and for this reason it is important to understand it and not be afraid of it when it resonates within us.
“Nella penombra” refers to something that moves inside us, not too deep but just important enough to understand, with sounds that nature emits at dawn, when the light still reigns in the dim light, we must learn to move with skills and lightness without harming ourselves and especially others.

Written and produced by Claudio Brioschi, Andrea Barbieri and Adiel between Milan and Rome. Mixed by Claudio Brioschi at Prisma Sonoro Studio Milan.

Mastered at Enisslab Studio Roma by Giuseppe Tillieci.
Artwork and design by Kero.

BCCO Premiere: Adiel & Tamburi Neri - Silenzio [DNZT013]

Dropping in January 2023 is the reissue of DJ Shufflemaster's album EXP, which Tresor Records first released in 2001. This expanded reissue comes as a 3xLP with new artwork by Japanese designer Sk8thing and combines the original CD release tracks with three tracks from the Angel Gate 12" from the same year, including a remix by Surgeon of Experience. Also present is a previously unreleased version of Innervisions, which replaces the assonant synths of the original with a looped vocal sample upfront. Climb and Guiding Light will feature as digital-only tracks. 

Tatsuya Kanamori remains a critical component of the Tokyo techno underground scene, initially coming to the fore through the Subvoice label before releases with Tresor, Theory Recordings, and Japanese record labels such as Disq and Reel Musiq. At the moment of the original release, DJ Shufflemaster considered the record to draw in disparate and latent ideas into a fully encompassing mesh - "I would like to show my thoughts and everything that I am through the album. If it doesn't reflect my ideas and the reasons that I live for, there is no meaning for me to create an album. Therefore, EXP doesn't contain just one theme or concept." 

EXP represents an uncompromising and psychedelic slant on techno, with a purist's focus on the dancefloor. It bridges many avenues within the techno genre, from the minimalist, dubby terrains of tracks like P.F.L.P. and Opaqueness, to more fierce percussive works that share a kinship with the sonic movements in Berlin, Detroit and the UK. Beyond the technical, pared-down techno found in tracks such as EXP and Onto The Body, the album leaps into unpredictable territories frequently. Angel Exit carries mystical UK steppers moods as if it were a long-lost dubplate of The Rootsman. Kanamori delves deep into looping digital grunge in Flowers of Cantarella and Dawn Purple, these synthetic worlds enveloping and deforming at will. Bold and as fresh as ever, EXP is an unearthed jewel from Tresor's past for new ears.
