Wez G - Techno Till I Die

Before the identity of FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) was revealed in an article written by Matt Blair in August 2018, only one EP, titled "fft1" and released at the end of 2017 as the first reference of the aptly named label Uncertainty Principle, had been enough to arouse the expectation of dignitaries like Grant Wilson-Claridge or Ed Upton, better known as DMX Krew; after mastering the EP in question, the latter even acknowledged that this was the best recent artist he had encountered in a while. Comprising five pieces, "fft1" set up the meticulous materialization of an aural plan whose anamnesis drew a line between the aesthetic resources of glitch –clicks, noises, hums– and a background in the use of some of its characteristic elements, such as the bleep, in a sort of technically complex, strangely accelerated and digitally incorruptible braindance conjunction of Alva Noto, Warp's lilac maxi singles, Unique 3, Aleksi Perälä or Jodey Kendrick.

However, following the unveiling, Briton Josh Thompson, who had previously operated as Alma Construct, has worked on the project’s concept by expanding its limits in a rationally justified manner. Firstly, the "in-side" EP –released in December 2018 on Super Hexagon, the label he co-owns with J. Wiltshire– showed Gerald Donald's influence, exposed some autechrian inclination towards entropic geometry and gloomy, cold emotion, and increased the importance of melody and the tendency to treat the material through precise procedures characteristic of avant-garde sound sculptors. Secondly, the EP released four months later on The Trilogy Tapes, composed of two extensive pieces of almost ten minutes each, continues with the obsession with detail but exploring, on the one hand, rhythmic inflections, textures and colors of the timbric palette of the more complex techy dubstep, and, on the other hand, Uwe Schmidt's artificial pop, in an ambiguous and permanently changing song over its two sections. FFT shows a great ability to converse with different aesthetics of the immediate past but without drowning in the stagnant waters of doxography, clearly differentiating between previous models and a design that proposes the emergence of new terms.

Recorded at the end of May 2019, the podcast unfolds and completes with unreleased tracks the entire aesthetic offered by FFT. At first glance, the most striking thing is its wide dynamic range and rich stereo image. In attentive listening, the internal consistency of the work, determined by dialectical relationships between consecutive pieces, parts and sections, reminds that not only is there here an obsession with the sound aspect, but that there are also analogies with the theories and laws of physics underneath, such as Newton's third law –"for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"–. Here lies an observable chain of events constructed at different velocities and scales: molecular movements, expanding nebulae, stellar collisions, red giants disintegrated for all eternity.

We recommend playing back the recording through appropriate speakers or headphones, at full volume and in total darkness.

UNITED WE STREAM #35 at ACUD MACHT NEU (DJ set)

To finish up with May at Fake Rolex, we host a sometimes liquid, sometimes deep drumming selection from Elise (@el-se), a DJ that oscillates with prolific talent through genres as UK techno, electro, ghetto house, jungle and between. 

‘I did this podcast a month ago from now when we were still deep into the lockdown here in Paris. Like a lot of people, this period went with a lot of mixed feelings about the future, ups & downs. It was in a bit of a lull moment that I tried to share some kind of “floating acceptance” that I was into on that quarantine day 49’

After 5 years in the Shanghai local scene where she was involved as a DJ, live performer, and occasional promoter, Elise moved to Berlin to focus on her music production, releasing an EP at Man Band Records (2018)(@man-band). 

Now based in Paris, Elise continues to push her sound forward and signed an opening reshape on François X's new imprint Dement3d XXX (@dement3d), with some promising releases in the works as well as a monthly show on Rinse France (@rinse_france).

Recorded in Paris 29/04/2020

First artist from OKVLT showcase is Egyptian singer, poet, author, composer, actor, trumpeter, Abdullah collaborated with musicians like Erik Truffaz, Carl Gari, Simo Cell and many more.

" I always wanted to gather some files from different unused/ unreleased projects from my hard drive, I had a very hard year last year to move smoothly from an electronic music field to a classical one.
And I couldn't detach from the machines that I'm using. I offer you with this set an easy listening travel between genres and different sounds from different files.
I try to find new harmonies using detuned sounds. I hope you can have a soft travel through these sounds. "
