INFO:
Positioned at the forefront of the international scene for quite some time as a DJ and label head, Kr!z first unveiled his work to the public as a producer on a few compilations starting in 2017, leading to a debut full-length EP ‘Mantra’ in 2019 via Token. After solid follow-ups on Setaoc Mass’s SK_Eleven and James Ruskin’s Blueprint, Kr!z now offers ‘Atlantis’, pushing new depth into two original tracks with remixes by the infamous Oscar Mulero and exciting up-and-coming Marcal. 

The title track ‘Atlantis’ claims the A1 wasting no time in clarifying the EP’s intention. A brewing whirlpool of pitch bending pads suck in the listener while rowing down linear percussion and resonant stabs. The cut boasts dimension as it tosses and turns throughout its duration, taking us right into Oscar Mulero’s ‘deconstruction’ as a follow-up. Respecting the cyclical spirit of the original track, Mulero slowly guides sustained bells through a thickened percussion-line to rethink Atlantis’s accents. Mulero focuses the pace of the record and we land on a slightly more sequenced B side. ‘Nautilus’ brings a loopy groove with momentary dissonant synth-work to polish things up. Stricter transitions provide structure to the EP as a whole, and the energy passes from a maelstrom to waves. To conclude, Brazil’s Marcal provides his take on ‘Nautilus’ by tightening the seams and adding his famed groove to Kr!z’s work. Particularly playful on the drums and fleeting stabs, Marcal adds sway to the mix with an infectious pulsating bassline that effortlessly pushes all other elements; never once losing his balance.

Divide
Manifesto Futurista EP
WU80

Release date: 03.02.2023

Vinyl
A1- Anamorfosi
A2- Liquidazione
A3- Isocrono
B1- Decomposizione
B2- Elaborazione

Digital
1- Anamorfosi
2- Liquidazione
3- Isocrono
4- Decomposizione
5- Elaborazione


Scifi maestro Divide is back again in our sound factory providing five fine exercises of scientific and intrincated techno.

The space trip begins with Anamorfosi, totally beatless, with several asymmetrical synth lines running against each other in a complex experiment that serves to introduce what comes next.

Liquidazione goes straight into dancefloor action with a stomping groove with the appropriate dose of distortion with cosmic and rugged sequences running on top spiced with lots of sound design details. 

Isocrono closes A side with a similar sound palette but this time introducing the elements progressively until all action takes place. Obsessive, mental and rude at the same time.

Flipping the vinyl comes Decomposizione, merciless beat, wisely administered distortion and detailed sou8nd design to create a pure mix weapon.

Last cut is Elaborazione, again enforced drums in charge of the groove with sibilant synthesized components filling the stereo field. The arrangement is constantly changing and evolving, surprising the dancer with imprevisible twists.

One more proof of the expertise that this producer showcases on each of his works.

Incorrect Transit EP

KAZERNE001 - PWCCA - Incorrect Transit EP [Previews]

Written and Produced by Simone Scardino aka CONCEPTUAL, Berlin 2020/2022

Digital 
1- Ninna Nanna For Bad Children
 2- Me Medesimo 
3- Højer 
4- Not An Easy One
5- I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me

 
CONCEPTUAL is the musical journey of Berlin based producer Simone Scardino, a sci fi techno specialist well seasoned with releases on the best scientific labels out there. His approach on techno comes apart from trends and superficiality, it always has an underlying message and it’s made with detail and intelligence.
 
This extended EP is not for the faint hearted, it requires some knowledge about intrincated soundscapes and requires attention and long term vision to capture the feeling properly. It can be completely beatless and atmospheric as the open title Ninna Nanna For Bad Children or super rhythmic like Me Medesimo where broken and bass heavy beats combine with elaborated textures exquisitely sound designed to cause the required damage on the dancefloor.
 
Højer is traversing similar terrain, but this time based on a 4/4 beat, rugged and distorted, metallic and industrial, a no mercy weapon for the darkest sound spaces.
 
On the B side, Not An Easy One gives another ration of proper non conventional dancefloor action, again with a well balanced combination of groove and texture.
 
 I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me closes the release changing the approach completely going hypnotic instead of muscular, with a complex drum work spiced with super-treated synth lines in constant change.
 
The sound of the future experienced today, made by a visionary.

 Evod " Galassia" LP
 
1. Ammassi 
2. Associazioni Stellari 
3. Centro di Massa
 4. Ellissi 
5. Gas 
6. Polveri 
7. Sistemi
 8. Spettro


Sci Fi techno alchemist Evod returns to the team with this extended work, the soundtrack of an interstellar voyage to the realms of the unknown.

First exercise Ammassi is a composition of bleeps and crispy textures, highly reverberated and running over a soft kick that sets the pace. As minutes go by the frequencies go busier and evolve in complexity.

Associazioni Stellari puts asymmetrical sequences and lots of shuffle into the equation, special mention to the exquisite 909 workout.

Centro di Massa introduces distortion and roughness but yet preserving the abstract and spatial feel. this one will cause some damage in the finest dancefloors out there.

Ellissi slows down the BPM rate, adds some dubby landscapes but still gives the feeling of non gravity with a scientific approach.

Gas sets the spaceship in dance mode again, emphasizing the higher frequencies and alien percussions in a totally crazy sound adventure that is always mutating.

Things go totally abstract in Polveri, an electronic jazz experiment putting again the 909 to its limits. The sub bass that comes in the middle will blow some speakers for sure.

Sistemi is a pure robotic dance tool, exquisite for being used as a layer in the hands of proper dj’s. Asymmetry is the key here.

Last but not least Spettro closes the tracklist with the energy levels peaking at the maximum. Rude, solid and ethereal at the same time.

Always a pleasure to have proper space commanders in our command station.

------

El alquimista tecnológico de ciencia ficción Evod regresa al equipo con este trabajo extendido, la banda sonora de un viaje interestelar a los reinos de lo desconocido.

El primer ejercicio Ammassi es una composición de bleeps y texturas crujientes, muy reverberadas, discurriendo sobre un bombo suave que marca el ritmo. A medida que pasan los minutos, las frecuencias se vuelven más obsesivas  y evolucionan en complejidad.

Associazioni Stellari suma secuencias asimétricas y mucha ritmo en la ecuación, mención especial al exquisito trabajo de  909.

Centro di Massa introduce distorsión y rugosidad, pero conservando la sensación abstracta y espacial. Esto causará mucho daño en las mejores pistas de baile inteligentes.

Ellissi reduce la velocidad de BPM, agrega algunos paisajes de sabor dub pero aún así da la sensación de no gravedad con un enfoque científico.

Gas vuelve a poner la nave espacial en modo baile, enfatizando las frecuencias más altas y las percusiones alienígenas en una aventura sonora totalmente desquiciada que muta contínuamente.

Las cosas se vuelven totalmente abstractas en Polveri, un experimento de jazz electrónico que lleva de nuevo al 909 a sus límites. El subgrave que viene en el medio seguramente hará reventar algunos altavoces.

Sistemi es una herramienta de baile robótica pura, exquisita para ser utilizada como una capa en manos de los dj 's adecuados. La asimetría es la clave.

Por último, pero no menos importante, Spettro cierra la lista de canciones con los niveles de energía al máximo. Rudo, sólido y etéreo a la vez.

Siempre es un placer tener comandantes espaciales adecuados en nuestra estación de mando.

Release date (vinyl & digital): 12th of May 2023

Tracklist:
A1: From The Ashes 1
A2: From The Ashes 2
B: From The Ashes 3

Info:
	
Offering a three track EP on Token, emblematic UK producer James Ruskin proves his capability and linear focus once again through ‘From the Ashes’. Looking past trends to create a lasting record rich in texture and thick with impact, the project affirms what the scene has already known to be true about his work for the past 25 years. 

Setting his intentions from the A1, Ruskin wastes no time by creating an intimidating introduction. Saturated percussion and stuttering keys whip through a 4 minute masterclass of sound system focused production. Adventurous in structure, Ruskin remains unquestionably in control of a bursting, almost chaotic track. ‘From the Ashes 2’ picks up what was left off, containing a hard-set groove with hi hats slithering in progressively from the stereo image to slightly destabilize an impressive club-heavy tool. With intricate work being done in the ambience, the EP’s hard hitting second track booms through a cavernous acoustic, giving the record not only body, but dimension. Switching up the rhythm and focusing on more mental synth work for the third act, Ruskin quickly and mercilessly rips through his work with a shrill pad, creating overwhelming tension to be released in the first third of the recording. He brings a dosed dissonance between his elements, reflective of the qualities of vintage techno with today’s capabilities and arrangement. Pushing intensity through waves, Ruskin leaves us in anticipation of a fourth track that is never given.
