Texas-based experimental percussionist Lavatone makes a commanding entrance on the Lost Tribe Sound label, with the new double album, ‘Lunar Mining and Excavation’. LM&E embarks on a rare concept album from the artist. This is heavy, filthy, industrial workplace, Total Recall eyes-popping-out-of-your-head type stuff, only no air this time, Cohaagan. It’s the ugly side of Space Music… overworked machinery, duct taped space suits, turds hovering at low-gravity in the porta-johns, pounding, grinding, noise and catharsis. 

If all that comes across as hellish and unapproachable, rest assured Lavatone’s a master of low-frequency sound and polyrhythms. While the label first discovered his impressive back-catalog in 2021, Drew Holder, the guy behind the alias, has been making his special breed of drone and thump music since the mid 90’s. While his mechanized approach takes on structural similarities to that of electronic music, Holder doesn’t even own a synth, and the percussive elements are all created by hand before being fed into a machine for further manipulation. This lends a deep, tactile richness to the music. This electroacoustic effect was well apparent in works like 2021 ‘Elevator,’ where these steady, brutish rhythms were aided by a multitude of strangely exotic offshoots, as they tunneled their way through a steely latticework of controlled noise.

Christoph Berg - Monologue

From the passionate lands of France, Arnaud Galoppe, known as Focal and Kinosura, has hand-mixed an emotional labyrinth of dark techno and melancholy ambience in Ultimae’s latest compilation.
Polarity is a double-sided conglomerate of electronic expressions from all over the world, spanning across atmospheric soundworlds of intimate drone and deep, industrial progressions.
This collection of heartwarming soundscapes and foot-stomping house beats is smoother than butter, a series of 26 top-notch tracks that paint an interesting, auditory adventure. Although the album has a minimalistic approach, it offers a surprisingly detailed production. Each track is layered with expert craftsmanship and hypnotic melodies laced against diverse, psychedelic noise echoing in the distance.
Polarity is certainly an experience worth traversing, and we are proud to host it as an excellent addition to any electronica connoisseur's sound-library.

The Polarity artwork was imagined by plasticians Suzy Lelièvre and Raphaël Kuntz.
From a sphere, they conceived a parametric deformation protocol for a decomposition in several stages.
While Suzy imagines shapes and the potential modifications to impact, Raphaël works on the incarnation process to extract a mineral matter look, something geological, almost chemical. As they materialise, with slow lighting work, shapes undergo random offsets, revealing the tension between a near scientific protocol and its subjective interpretation. Beyond the infinite production of singular shapes, the goal of both artists, especially for this project, is to invent new processes that invite a reconsideration of our attitude to shapes.
In the same way, from Ambient to Techno, through a game of modulation of pads, rhythms and frequencies, Polarity offers a variety of musical spectra flowing into one another, a melodic exploration of the twists and turns which link both universes.
