Continuing their extensive V/A series, the sixth installment of Various Artists is coming to the French Accents Records label. With eighteen tracks, the ACCENTVA006 compilation is a creative, open-minded curation aiming to promote an “outside the limits of the overly codified deep techno field” approach to music. The album is a diverse, loosely defined selection of ambient, experimental, and techno works from well-known and rising talents, spotlighting new faces among regular contributors to the label.   

Produced by the Brussel-based co-founder of Norite label and DJ Souleiman Bacar, aka lunar convoy, Delta Trancer is a hypnotic ride into a dubbed down, no-hustle territory. 

First, it grasps attention by the signature trip-hop(ish) groove, steadily proceeding with the confidence of an engine driven over the acid bass-line. Next - a shattered, almost imbalanced breakbeat progression, like a curtain, slightly opens inner workings. Then - promptly building back the rhythmic harmony - this time with a synthesized injection of the satisfying, energetic burst. Powered by a no-nonsense slow-burning internal combustion, the track moves towards the softer, somewhat inhabited, mesmerizingly soulful side.

Out 28.01.2022

Up next in our main series are Milan-based dub techno outfit Primal Code. With a solid back catalogue comprising releases for Hypnus Records, TGP and Konstrukt, the Italian duo have honed their skills to impressive effect over the last few years, forging a sound signature thoroughly engaging on both body and cerebral levels, and now punching in on KOC to breathe further hard-hitting opaque heat into the collection.

Putting things into gear, “AI Calculator” propels us across dim-lit streetscapes and murky subterranean entrails, pared-down to a minimal array of modular signals, subtle machine inflections and particularly acute rhythmic progression. Steering the original into further pumped-up, DJ-friendly territories, NAFF affiliate Priori drops the hammer badman style, bringing forth the racing muscular bass and squelchy machine talk on loop mode to keep everyone on their toes from start to finish.

Flexing a different kind of acidic swagger, “Autopilot” pulls out the weird extra-terrestrial jazz tropes and whirling dynamics for a round of proper otherworldly bop in the outer-space. Last but not least, “Mainframe” rounds off the release on a more openly experimental note, letting the loops, envelopes and textures float in a haze of half-controlled abstraction. The result evokes something of an immunocompromised Rubber Johnny getting glazed as he weightlessly drifts off from a galaxy to another, and into another world completely.

Coming off of contributions to VA releases on Suzie (Cleveland’s fresh faced label), From A Lost Place, and an EP early last year on De Lichting, Queniv is entering 2022 as part of Mirror Tapes Worldwide. Spanning the globe, the aptly named compilation is the first in a series of releases on Melbourne based DJ, and producer Citizen Maze’s new Mirror Tapes label.

Much like the name implies, ‘In The Midst’ embodies those hazy moments where sharp edges are lost, time seems to warp, shifting right before your very eyes. The drums coalesce for the briefest of windows before lapsing back into an esoteric beat. All the while soothing melodic breezes shift around your head providing a respite against the onslaught of what lies ahead.

In The Midst, along with the rest of Mirror Tapes Worldwide will be released on Bandcamp on the 25th of January.

@caldera-caldera is an artist whose productions have had me in awe for ages. German but living in Brighton, UK, he runs a monthly radioshow on 1BTN. Caldera's sense of rhythms, texture & the overall hypnotic & dubby sides of techno is something I’ve always been super inspired by. His Leafs EP released back in 2020 is a must-listen (bokharirecords.bandcamp.com/album/leafs). He also just released his second album One Last Glimpse on a label called Noorden - it's full of insane detail & is super impressive: noorden.bandcamp.com/album/one-last-glimpse

Taken from "Ebende - Arkajo4 EP (Arkajo)". Out April 10th 2023. Buy here : https://arkajomusic.bandcamp.com

Since the inauguration of the ARKJAO imprint in 2018 the Göteborg, Sweden based producer and DJ has unveiled three EP’s for the label, one alongside his partner in Genius Of Time and Aniara artist Dorisburg, and two solo EP’s. Arkajo’s distinctive sound deftly blurs the lines between House, Techno and Bass always with a raw percussive edge. Here though we see him welcome another of Göteborg’s finest onto the label, Ebende, who delivers two originals on the package.
‘The Source’ opens the release with a raw percussive drive running alongside murky, billowing textures and dubbed out voices. Arkajo delivers his twist on ‘The Source’ next, reshaping the original with gnarly bass flutters, eerie subs, intricately shuffled organic drums and the originals dark and hazy atmospheric feel.
On the flip side the second original ‘Magic Land’ leads, once again embracing bumpy off-kilter drums at its core while bubbling bass tones and cinematic string lines subtly unfurl and evolve throughout. Pugilist’s take on ‘Magic Lands’ then rounds out the release, bringing a gritty electro edge to things courtesy of crunchy drums, a menacing bass lead and playful electronic bleeps all intertwined with fragments of the original.

The Source

PREMIERE : Ebende - The Source (Arkajo)

These were the stories that he told himself, tall tales from long ago which had got lost in the spaces in between. It had been a while since he’d last let himself think about such history and nostalgia for it was buried deep in the recesses of his mind. His memory palace was a place visited once in a blue moon for the magic which lived behind those thick castle walls was sometimes best to be left alone.

Lying amidst the tall grass he watched as the clouds moved slowly by overhead, he’d allowed himself this one afternoon to daydream upon what might of been in another life. He opened the heavy gates and let his memories of a wilder, better time come rushing in.

He closed his eyes and nodded off…

Priori continues to develop and grow as a producer, moving toward deep, pensive textures and atmospheres on a new EP for Midgar Records. The Pareidolia EP is comprised of four tracks of intelligent Techno which teases and intrigues – this is a record which will sound good on dark nights and in smokey rooms.
