For this @DarkScienceElectro Rewind, we take a listen to a track from the maiden voyage of seminal label @CPUrecords by Electro master @Cygnus 

Phillip Washington is an electronic musician based in Texas. His influences include Electro, IDM, experimental hardcore bass, and more. His technical approach mixes the versatility of software with the touch and feel of hardware to create a timeless mixture of electronic beats and melody. Cygnus has been producing music under this alias since 2011 and has brought us some of the freshest Electro of the last decade. He manages to pay homage to classic Electro, while at the same time pushing the genre forward. There is a certain feeling of soulfulness that can be heard in his music that, I think, isn't matched by anyone before or currently.

Electro Rewind: Cygnus - District Nights (2012)

Next up on our airwaves is Rude66. As one of the godfathers of the infamous West Coast sound of Holland, Electro and Acid maestro Rude 66 needs no introduction. More than 30 years after his first release, Rude and his wife Shaunna on vocals are still going strong, honing their unique brand of musical skills to perfection.
As a mastering engineer, Rude lends his sound and considerable experience to a new generation of vinyl labels with a client list that reads like a who-is-who of cool and influential electronic music communities.
Travelling the world like he did for many years playing live or as a dj has been impossible for a while. But rude’s dj sets can be heard on intergalactic FM and many online stations, taking cues from his huge and diverse vinyl collection and exclusive unreleased tracks.

#SlamRadio - 598 - Shawescape Renegade

Carlos Souffront 6 Hour Set

Texas-based electronic music producer Phillip Washington aka Cygnus was on bit of a hiatus since his phenomenal "Cosmos" long play on Fundamental Records, released near the end of 2016. With this EP, titled "ne0 ge0", he's breaking the silence and we're extremely happy to see it happening through Barba imprint. The record consists of 4 cuts; "Zone Shifting", "Vertexing", "ne0-ge0" and "Astronoot" which all share common qualities of his previous work - deep, spacey, richly textured and really well crafted. "Zone Shifting" is what electro in 2018 should sound like. Deep, emotional and futuristic but well grounded in the human condition through the vocal line which seems to haunt from the distance. "Vertexing" is a slightly more paced, moodier affair with slow enveloping Vangelis-esque synth lines bleeding all over traditional electro sounding beat. However, in this case that's exactly what's needed. Title track, "ne0-ge0" is the first one on the flip side and the busiest one. Creasing of multiple synth lines and pads is done in such an expertly elegant manner that you just can't resist but play it loud on a big soundsystem and see what it does to the dancefloor. And finally, record closes with "Astronoot", and as B2 tracks usually are - it's the deepest of them all, reserved for those heady moments when you need something to bring the magic to the next level.

CYGNUS - NE0 GE0

For the next @DarkScienceElectro premiere we look to the southern United States for a check-in with Electro veteran @Cygnus

With a long history of releases beginning in 2006, this Texas resident presents a varied release with the brand new 'Rainy Days'. Straddling the line between Ambient, Techno, IDM, Chillwave and Electro, this full-length release on Biosoft Records has something for everyone. The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is entitled 'Default Mode Network' and is the most Electro-centric track on the release. This track is about as smooth as they come with understated percussive traits and a ton of focus on the melody, driven by beautifully modulated pads and bass lines generated by a Waldorf Blofeld, Elektron Digitakt/Analog 4 as well as a Korg VC-10. The song was described by Cygnus as a song about meditation. He went on to say that "The brain is 'used' and consumes energy even when it is not focused on any discreet goal or process". This captivating release is a journey through the sonic landscapes of this prolific producers mind.

PREMIERE: Cygnus - Default Mode Network (Biosoft Records)

For the next @DarkScienceElectro premiere we look to the southern United States for a check-in with Electro veteran @Cygnus on @CPUrecords

With a long history of releases beginning in 2006, this Texas resident presents a brand new EP called 'Deep Analysis'.  The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is entitled 'Sheffield Bleep'. The song was composed using Digitakt, Analog4 , Roland SH-01, Ableton and a Vocoder, This vocal track's central theme is an ode to the mighty @CPUrecords done over an Jazzy Electropop feeling track with a Roland CR-78 providing the rhythm. This track is my personal favorite on the record, however, I would also say that this release as a whole is absolutely worth checking out. It is on pre-order now and will be shipping out on or around May 3rd, 2019.

Barba Records is one of labels run by the Burek team.  It serves as a platform for our artist's expression in various forms of modern electronic music be it – techno, electro or even house at times – in fact anything that, in our humble view has depth and quality. Driving idea is to broaden the palette of what a 'techno' label can be – no consistent tempo, or sound, or mood.  Ultimate goal is to put out music sounding fresh and releases we'll still want to listen to years to come.
