Artist: Sid Le Rock
Title: Invisible Nation
Format: Digital album / Vinyl LP
Label: Beachcoma Recordings
Release date: April 01st, 2022

The idiosyncratic musical style and production practices by Sheldon, Sidney Thompson (aka Sid Le Rock) are shaped by the DIY electronic-music movement that has encouraged his creativity to develop and thrive since the late ’90s. This is a contributing factor to his impressive discography that currently stands at twelve albums under his various aliases, including Sid’s collaborations with artists from various fields and musical genres such as Depeche Mode, DJ Koze, Placebo, and persistent impressions of the journeys he has made throughout the world as a result of his live music performances.

These invaluable experiences are the supplements for his next important leap forward as follows: As a tribal member of the Algonquin First Nations, Sid seeks to explore his ancestral heritage to uncover the traditional, ceremonial soundscapes of the Native American indigenous peoples as an integral component for his new solo album project – Invisible Nation. It is his respectful endeavour to bind this seamlessly together through his knowledge of music theory and his own distinctive production sound. Sid Le Rock’s current album concept is a fusion of traditional music and organic elements utilized by the Aboriginal peoples of Canada, combined with the modernization of electronic-based music. Mixing of both sound styles achieves balance with shared importance to rhythm as a source of impulse and functionality. It is his equitable attempt to produce and deliver a complementary synthesis of sonic peculiarities, modern electronic methods and the repurposed use of ceremonial music, to showcase a profound pride and pay homage to his forebears.

The Algonquin First Nations otherwise referred to as Anishinaabe, are a group of indigenous peoples present in the Great Lakes region of Canada. They consider music and dance to be sacred and an integral part of their lives. It is a culture that heavily relies on rich oral traditions to pass on its stories, teachings, history, and cultivates its verbal language. Membranophone, idiophone, aerophone, and chanting are traditionally essential components of our sacred sound, This musical connection produces a narrative depth that can transport an effective atmosphere to dance-floors, bridged by unconventional virtues, to which electronic music permits limitless possibilities. Sid Le Rock’s latest release marks his eighth studio album – Invisible Nation, which is an exploration of his cultural roots, combining myth and musical expression to bring forth a prideful nation.

Invisible Nation (LP/ digital album) release is confirmed for April 01st, 2022 on Beachcoma Recordings.

Bruder Jakob @ Landgut Eule - Absurd Und Durchgelurcht

Making his debut on Sarah Wild’s Midnight Operators is @etcha-1. The Dutch born/ Berlin based producer delivers three dance floor tools for different timings and a mental rave rework by Italian stallion Younger Than Me.
‘Four the Trance’ is an ode to the hectic cycling of late 90s Tour de Frances, where doping and heroic battles dominated the head over heals racing without helmets. A straight beat underpinned by a meaty bass line, a cacophony of bleeps & blops and synth lines that seems to be blown away by strong headwinds.
Gearing things into a contrasting direction is ‘Modem Handshake’. A synthetic electro roller incorporating the dial up sound of an internet modem. Common occurrence in the early years of consumer computers and a sound of a world turning digital. But also a sound of making human connection possible through cybernetic means. Could this sound have a deeper sense for the longing of being connected?
The trippy ’Sumatra Cerebral’ is based around the recordings of birds that are endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The track is about blurring the lines between what is synthetic and what is natural. Taking into question how mankind has influenced the natural world’s communication? Made in pandemic times (where travel was almost impossible). The track conveys the longing for tropical exoticism to a place that has not been visited. Just like anemoia is the nostalgia for non-personally known times.
Rounding off the EP is ‘Sumatra Cerebral (Younger Than Me ‘Mental Rave’ Remix)’. An uptempo future rave track with a simple & effective bass line that utilises the original samples, encapsulating the listener in a mix of natural and synthetic. It strikes a delicate tension between confusion and propulsion but remains mentally uplifting.

Enzio Etchaberri - Modem Handshake

Having fired us to the Outer Limits with his previous dispatch on Silicone Soul’s Darkroom Dubs, Glaswegian space-funkateer Am$trad Billionaire fires up the green screen once again on a fresh brace of constellation capers!

Kick starting the year with the aptly titled Capricorn, the horny beast races from the traps, driven by its powerful drums and rebellious untamed spirit. A chilling melody and call of the wild, are at odds with the rock solid electronic strut, yet work brilliantly together to create our astrologic opener. 

Warrior, poet, and fellow zodiac creature, Sagittarius, serves up a slice of optimistic flair. Glittering keys cascade and shimmer, atop a pulsating beat and swirling synths to create a cinematic soundtrack as much at home in the chill of winter as the freshness of spring. 

Two celestial offerings, both firmly in the ascendance.
