Concentric

TL PREMIERE : Nico - Concentric [Grid]

Release Date : April 7th
Pre-order : gridrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dompte-regard

A big landmark beckons, it's @doline's debut LP, with it also being the first time a LP drops on Grid. The french producer has been making quite a name for himself, an affiliate of Teki Latex's Sound Pellegrino crew and also dropping a fantastic EP on the France's best, Paradoxe Club in 2020. This new album sets new heights for Doline, his trademark sound & style is prominent within 'Dompte-regard', with his intricate sound design ever present. 
Throughout the LP, his synth work and captivating melodies make it glide between blissful home listening and adventurous club tracks. Fluctuating through tempo & moods with ease, 'Dompte-regard' could not sum up Doline any better, a truly fantastic representation of an extremely talented emo producer. 

For the first time this release will be also proposed in a CD version ! A beautiful object designed by Unité Services. A concept around transparency "to tame your sight". Only 100 copies available.

01 The Lobster 'n' The Bee

Realitycheck - 09 Mai 2023

@minor-science—aka UK-born, Berlin-based musician Angus Finlayson—makes his Balmat debut with 'Absent Friends Vol. III', the third installment in a shape-shifting series across a variety of formats and platforms. And with it, he pushes forward his vision of ambient music as neither static vista or merely mood-setting atmosphere, but rather a dynamic matrix of textures, sensations, and even rhythms.

The first two Absent Friends—a 2014 set for Blowing Up the Workshop, and a 2017 cassette and web player for Whities (now AD93)—were hybrid affairs, part DJ mix and part collage, mostly featuring music made by other people. Then, in 2020-21, Finlayson developed the project into a live show of his own material. Armed with hundreds of bespoke stems created in his studio—idiosyncratic FX chains, feedback loops through cheap rack gear, heavily post-processed field recordings, found voices, etc.—he would improvise on four CDJs, mixer, FX, and live synths, extending techniques he learned as a club DJ into a live context, accompanied by visuals by Stockholm-based artist Paul Witherden.

'Absent Friends Vol. III' is an album of studio versions of the music developed for the live show. But in Minor Science’s world, even a category as simple as “studio versions” is slightly opaque. “Most of these tracks weren’t ‘composed’ in the studio,” Finlayson explains: “The sounds started out as stems and source material for the live show, and might not have been intended to go together—but then through performance, they settled into shapes that worked. I then recreated those performances in the studio.” That organic process of ideation and realization might help explain the unusual coherence of the album, in which sounds and textures flow seamlessly from one to the next, sometimes seeming to stand still, and sometimes looping back. There are virtually no melodies, few recognizable motifs or riffs, yet the eight-track album nevertheless moves with a distinctive logic and a determined sense of purpose, from the frozen-in-time shimmer of the opening “Introduction” through the early cuts’ studies of space and light; from the seemingly autobiographical “Summer Diary” through the rushing trance (yes, trance) arpeggios of “Contingency” and on to the dulcet denouement of the closing “Gather Your Party (Dispersed Mix).”

The album’s underlying themes—reflected in Witherden’s video for lead single “Dread the Evening”, as well as the print that accompanies the limited-edition version of the LP—include psychedelia and togetherness, universal cornerstones of virtually any experience of dance music. “Overall I see this record as almost like a photographic negative of the other release I did this year, 064 on AD93,” says Finlayson. That EP’s two fiercely peak-time-oriented tracks, “Workahol” and “Casheine,” offer “a response, by way of caricature, to the time scarcity, precarity, and hypercompetitiveness that are features of my life right now (and I think many other people’s too),” he says. “Absent Friends Vol. III responds to the same situation in a contrasting way. I like that both have a clock on the cover. Both invite you to consider the passage of time. On the club record, time is finite and ticking away fast. On this one, there are little moments where the secondhand seems to pause.”

Absent Friends Vol. III

Minor Science - Absent Friends Vol. III [BALMAT07]

Volvemos con las Portal Mix Series y lo hacemos con una dj y amiga del colectivo con la que teniamos muchas ganas de contar.

Emilia Grima nos ha grabado un mix repleto de bass, ritmos rotos e IDM perfectamente cohesionados y con algo que echamos mucho de menos: narrativa.

Aquí tenemos un viaje por el imaginario musical de Espe que nos ha tocado la fibra y nos ha hecho mover el cuello a niveles altísimos, imposibles de calcular por ningun sistema métrico. Un viaje que, además, se nos ha hecho muy corto. 

Go check it!!!!
