After production delays in 2021, LDI Records present their fourth release and the debut solo EP from Texan electro producer Terrestrial Access Network - Distant Lands for release this January. The EP is drawn from the artist's shifting and hectic nomadic existence around the rattling expanse of the United States presenting 5 original cerebral electro tracks, backed up with a spooked out remix from Delsin Records’ Versalife aka Conforce.

Based in Austin, Texas, a city famous for its hyper-vibrant creative musical scene, Terrestrial Access Network feeds from the energy of this environment just as much as the desert that surrounds it. His day to day life involves travelling for near constant work projects - spending days and weeks away from home in what is a hectic lifestyle. In the feelings he channels when writing Distant Lands - he is pulled back towards the energy of the serene and calm landscape while on the road dealing with an unsettled nature of life and his profession.

Terrestrial Access Network began releasing music as recently as 2019 with tracks picked up for compilations on Swiss label Dionysian Mysteries. With a sound that is expert at creating powerfully immersive heads down moments for the dancefloor TAN has driven this EP with an ever present and intoxicating mechanical funk.

Distant Lands EP

PREMIERE: Terrestrial Access Network - Endless Dunes (LDI Records)

Sound Synthesis -- For Microlith

Two of Irelands premier producers ZOiD & Meljoann have collaborated on two singles. The first of which is the interplanetary Portal.

The track, which wouldn’t feel out of place on Janelle Monae’s ‘Dirty Computer’ features co-production from both artists, who also wrote and arranged for a string quartet performed by Cora Venus-Lunney, Aoife Durnin and Ailbhe Mc Donagh.

Meljoann’s soaring vocal yearns to deliver a message of longing to a loved one, far away. Possibly in another dimension.

Through a mutual love for Sci-Fi, two worlds collide and the rising space-dust from the impact manifests itself in music, treating us to one of the best collaborative efforts of 2022.

The second single ‘Spacemission’ is set for release 10/06/22.

    “This song is about imagining new technology, to bring a loved one closer to you. I imagined a gate, where you send your consciousness through a portal and into a surrogate cybernetic body. As ZOiD (Dan) and I are mad about sci-fi, I ended up writing two science fiction themed songs to his string section, and we fleshed out the arrangement and mix together”
    Meljoann.

    “There aren’t any other songwriters I know with as much knowledge of harmony, production and instrumental skills as Meljoann. We had so much fun nerding over chord sequences and creating these two sci-fi stories in the form of short avant-pop-electro tunes.
    ZOiD.

Portal (feat. Meljoann)

This is my first dive in to Techno and I wanted to create a formidable sound that urges and carries you through with various different twists and turns throughout. I designed it to be the sort of track you could lose your mind to in the afterhours of a club, roughly around the 3 - 4am mark.

The latest release by the Mexican avant-garde label Akumandra is founder Sainte Vie’s three track auditive voyage: From Desolate Places and Forgotten Times. Going beyond previous experimentation with sound assemblage and sampling from non-western musical traditions, Sainte Vie crafts his signature mesmerizing soundscapes by combining dreamlike synth textures, monumental drops and vibrant melodies that feel deeply melancholic. Insistent arpeggios and expansive build ups bind the tracks together in an ebb and flow of dynamic energy. 

High Seas 
Overlaid synth patterns, like waves, propel us into a mixed-percussion drop that settles on a harmonic calm before another surge of synth arpeggios drive us farther along into the thrilling sensation of voyage. 
		
Whale
Disembodied vocals, like cetaceans communicating, echo each other, creating a ghostly undercurrent to the vigorous percussion and futuristic synth arpeggios. 

Darko
Backed by an eerie melody and punctuated by a lead-heavy bass drum, a deep, guttural voice plunges us into the dark flow of time.

Spectral in theme and profoundly engaged with the sensorial quality of music, Sainte Vie’s EP transports the listener to a place that feels distant like uncharted waters, yet familiar like a memory.

The Future Is Not What It Used to Be

Adventures in the World of Becoming

Sometimes [resongified]

'WASTE MATERIAL' is the aneurysm inducingly clever title of a monthly instrumental series from Wastefellow.

The first installment contains three big wonky beats, designed for the colossal soundsystem we're all currently dreaming about.

'sometimes it feels like that though' and 'tears in the discord' are two glossy, hyper-emotional pseudo-bangers that sound like they were made after a year spent sitting in a bedroom, staring at a wall.

's. gaptan' is a sample mangling, not quite 160bpm neck twister, made as a submission for one of Gaptoof's weekly beat battles (second place baby). If you listen hard you can hear the silver medal.

More tracks next month... probably...
