Avondlicht’s cinematic piece Dead Society’s Poetry aims to shed a light on the beauty that can arise from the world’s current suffering. Opening the door into an utterly tangible dystopian environment, warm strings guide the listener through a fragmented remembrance of a once flourishing world. An ominous drone evolves into lush textures, blooming into a peaceful composition; a gentle reminder of the beauty that can arise from this pandemic’s ashes.

Dead Society's Poetry

Portuguese music producer Nery returns to his mother label Madluv Records, responsible for his long-play debut, and delivering an intricate and dreamlike 7'' vinyl. Moreover, the prolific and Berlin based producer Glenn Astro - that has been rooted to Ninja Tune, Tartelet Records and Termina (formerly Money $ex Records) over the last years - was invited to remix Nery's 'Snake's Head'; additionally, Nery also joined forces with the Portuguese multi-instrumentalist and producer Lewis M., and together did a rework of their own previous collaboration 'Jealous'.

If Nery's music is consistently shaped by unconventional grooves, psychedelism and leftfield realms, in 'Jealous Rework', both himself and Lewis M., took the rework concept to a brand new meaning/level by forging a whole fresh cosmos, not ever dismissing their original 'Jealous' heritage. As for Astro's remix, the level of confidence he showed by stripping down the original vocals and turning it in a experimental jazz instrumental, clearly shows how crafted he is: The drums and the bass programming are brilliantly exquisite to the point you will ask yourself who are those musicians. and when you least expect both Astro's signature and Nery's universe come together with finesse.

A1. Nery - Snake's Head (Glenn Astro Remix)

There's been some big changes in my life recently and I made this to blow off some steam with some slamming kicks. It's probably the most pounding mix I've ever done. Starts more experimental then into mostly techno that gets spicier and spicier. Had a lot of fun finding synergies and switching up vibes. Danced a lot. It was supposed to be 60 mins but I peaked too soon and didn't know how to continue. Story of my life.

Its opposite lover "SOFT/MINIMAL/INTROSPECTIVE", a 4 channel surround sound ambient mix, will come shortly.

HARD/MAXIMAL/CATHARTIC

This mix is the polar opposite of HARD/MAXIMAL/CATHARTIC. It's a 4 channel surround sound mix of drone/ambient that I made for a session I had in my basement. I set up a speaker in each corner, invited a bunch of friends around and we all lay melting in the middle of the dark room vibrating from the bass. I love that experience. I feel so refreshed afterwards, like I've had my mind reset. It's like a spa for my brain.

It starts and ends with one of my oldest binaural recordings of rain. This was to signify the start and end of the experience - only when the rain is playing are you allowed to speak.

This is a binaural mix down. If you want to try the full 4 channel experience, you can download the front and rear stereo files here.

Probs easiest to put them on separate tracks in Ableton or whatever and route the tracks to the appropriate speakers.

So get some pillows, take a big (but responsible) dose of your favourite dissociative and disconnect from reality for a while.

Landscapes of dystopian worlds, both emotive and driving, unveil new forms of life here as Nightdrive’s “Miracles” LP travels through the far east regions of house and techno with this 10-track release. As this marks “Rough Cuts 02” for Too Rough 4 Radio, “Miracles” is as much a transcendent force of ethereal tunes as it is effective for any dancefloor. What you’ll uncover across this release from this St. Petersburg based producer is a traversing blend through IDM, Deep House, DnB, and Techno through the lens of lush, atmospheric soundscapes.
