@batuuk kickstarts 2024 with 'Other Means' via A Long Strange Dream, delivering another twisted mind-bender, equally rooted in both psychedelic and UK techno continuums.

Packed with bass weight and laced with metallic echoes of dub, this reckless club cut moves forward at a dangerously spiralling pace.

Wanderings through Armenia brought us DJ and producer Dave N.A. The 4 tracks on his ‘Altura EP’ hover between jungle and deconstructed club. They are made up of unassuming, sharply cut breaks with a gently nostalgic feel. 

The Yerevan-based artist evokes a frantic, supple & glitchy attitude reminiscent of early jungle influences, and drenches it in a lush sound palette full of vivid sound effects.

For the occasion, 'Pulse' and 'Novox' were co-produced with no•id's own freq444. The DJ’s join forces around a sultry groove: it goes down smooth as cocoa on a freezing winter’s day.

«A corollary is a statement that follows naturally from another statement»

Presenting Corollary1, the first release in a new remix series flipping cuts from O.M.Theorem’s Lemma projects. 

For this one we invited good friends DJ Sotofett and Ossia. Regular conspirators in bacalao and dosa dinners, monthly hangouts at Globus-Tresor and sound system parties in Milano & Bristol. Through appreciation of similar frequencies and shared experiences, friendships grow. It felt natural to invite the two to do remixes for us. One evening we bumped into them on the dancefloor during a live concert by Senegalese percussion outfit Ndagga Rhythm. This was a sign. BAM! The EP came alive.

On the A-side, we hear two fresh takes on Lemma1-B2. DJ Sotofett with his dub heavy output on Honest Jon's and Sex Tags Amfibia invites Ghanese Afro-Dub drummer Ekowmania for vocals and usual collaborator LNS for keyboard work on his sub-deep club-stepping colourful remix. We bet the infectious vocals will linger in your mind for a long time. Play it LOUD for full sub bass effect! Second interpretation of the same track is from O.M.Theorem. A techy dubstep banger, this one!

On the B side, Bristol and Peng! Sound's Ossia picked his favorite Lemma1-B1 and drove the mixing desk in true Dub-style fashion with a classic riddim that meets an avant garde melody going in and out of the mix. This is a remix that deserves attention, with every listen revealing new layers and details. Even the premasters sounded phat as a greasy hamburger on the German capital’s legendary Super Power Soundsystem! The second interpretation is from O.M.Theorem, rebuilding percussion and bass from Lemma1-A1. Liberating himself from all restrictions the result is a footwork-reminiscent 160 cut, ready for the dance floor.

Corollary1 - snippets

CEE is a next generation artist collective bringing together musicians, designers, digital creators, researchers, theorists and thinkers to explore technology, art and nature as a framework for cultural transformation. CEE uses technology as a set of tools empowering creativity, critical thinking, research and independence for all its members. The aim is to create an environment that fosters collaboration in the real world and provides opportunities for shared exploration and learning enabling different groups of people and creators to drop work together effectively.

All releases, encompassing music, gadgets, events and audio essays, delve into the relationship between machines and nature—two elements that are part of an interconnected ecosystem symbolizing a bionical evolution in a world where technology reinterprets nature in an iterative effort to differentiate from it.

PRIMARY FOREST 01 is CEE's first music compilation, featuring seven original tracks from Ma Sha, Pépe, AFM, Dj Fucci, Delay Grounds, Toupaz and An Avrin, driving us on a frenetic journey through the densest and wildest forests, delivering avantgarde deconstructed club sounds via bass music and avant- techno, powered by hyper-accelerated BPMs that reverberate on a geological time scale.

Bandcamp: https://fastatwork.bandcamp.com/album/soft-fascination

Deep within the freeway buzz of dystopian Los Angeles, there exists an unstoppable sonic gathering of minds, who call themselves “Fast At Work” and abide by a belief in the deeper potential of higher tempos. However, lately there has been some debate about the true existence of the Fast At Work mantra. Just as the debate was reaching its climax, seemingly out of nowhere, a helicopter emerged containing a musical capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). The group accepted this music as scripture, and coined it “Soft Fascination,” – naming group member Carré as their chosen matriarch. Through the title hymn “Soft Fascination,” Carré preached a proto vision of a classic dubstep bassline and tender pads. With “Cute Mad,” Carré magically induced a sense of positivity and bubbly bass. And with the third offering, “Glowing,” she pushed her audience closer to understanding simplicity and space. Finally, in an effort to expand their gospel to the furthest realms of their musical world, she recruited Priori and James Bangura to create their own missions, rooted in the original offerings of the alien helicopter’s capsule disc. While Priori expertly rearranged “Soft Fascination” into a shiny mind-melter, James Bangura expanded on the lightness of “Glowing,” creating his own lucid dreamscape of deep melancholia.

Laenz - After Sunset [WZY004]
Announced: 13th Mar 2024
Release Date: 29th Mar 2024
Preorder: https://woozydublin.bandcamp.com/album/wzy004-after-sunset

Laenz joins EMA’s beloved Woozy family with After Sunset; an extended player of haunted dub architecture, set out within a found-sound planetarium of deconstructed rhythms and textural deviancy. Seminal UK producer and Hemlock Recordings’ founder Untold also features with his first remix in 9 years. 

Brooklyn-based Laenz reimagines the expansive structures of her native city as aural scaffolding, reconstructing indeterminate spaces via an emotional rendering process of world building. It’s music that explores the duality of shape and unform, immersed in traditions of sound design and latter-day UK broken beat techno binded by a tender hauntology that’s sublimely immersive as it is intimately personal. After Sunset is her debut for EMA’s boundary-pushing Woozy imprint, following releases for Early Reflex, Rhizome and Eastern Margins, a project detailing elongated processes of varying intensities evoking a rawness which she described as a “war on the heart”. It’s a body of music that’s a direct portal into Laenz’ singular vision, and highlights her inimitable talent amongst the milieu of bass-leaning producers of New York and beyond. 

Ballad Before The Break intros us with a garbled chug of out-of-body proportions, before Choices marches in with an uncanny half time of tense textures and After Sunset follows with trip-hop adjacent psychedelia gorged in subs. B-side opens with Echoes Until, a lurching wormhole of disorientating skank while wiL offers a gorgeous ambient epic circled by a percussion-heavy concrète of breakcore abstraction. Untold sees us out with a remix of Choices, a trip into his unrivalled sound world, buoyant by throbbing modulation and rolling kicks of pure surreality.

Festimi Podcast 75 - Teqmun 
 
We're happy to share our new podcast made by the artist who'll join us at Lofi's Colorfloor on May 11: Tijmen Blokzijl aka Teqmun. The promising DJ and producer once said about Upsammy’s music: 'It evokes the sensation of crawling through a landscape like an ant.' He curated a mix that feels to call upon this visualization. In this hour filled with half-time breaks and prickly rhythms you get a good idea of what he's all about. It's adventurous, unpredictable and driving; gritty, raw textures intertwine with bright glowing melodies and synths, creating a sense of ease and softness you want to drown in, while haunting elements and energetic percussion keep it lively and much bouncing. A beautiful mix!
