Vakat - Bare Hands [Artaphine Premiere]

OECUS Premiere // Ocktawian

Extract from "Unpatterns" [SINY01] @user-101773156
Release date: 20th August 2021

Ocktawian delivers four high-octane cuts of direct, peak-time techno to mint the Sinxergy label.
Opening with a slamming 909 assault, “Error System” then dips into the hadal zone with a tripped-out sci-fi sound, and “Hurricane” gives the EP a touch of old school flavour.
On remix duties is none other than Detroit veteran Mike Storm, who strips back “Error System” into an atmospheric roller for the twilight hours.
All up, Unpatterns is a stand-out first transmission from the Berlin-based label, welcoming two artists fresh from album releases on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, and providing a platform for them to create something new.

ISSXII.III | EP3

OECUS Premiere | CTSD - Sweatbox [EP3]

Listen exclusively here to the premiere of the track ‘Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell - 40W‘ to be released with the ‘LMSK001‘ EP on April 8, 2022 (Beatport) via Lømsk Records.

On this first release on Lömsk, four characterful & sly tracks reside. Starting with “Greven”, its focus is on an eroding & melodic synthline, with pulsating & abundant drums and clattering hi-hat patterns. Next comes “Skamsen” twisting things with wriggle-inducing detuned polyrhythmic sequences & straight machine funk. With the two tracks on the B-side, things take a shifty turn with the first one being the nervous “Svett”, a sweaty energy entity with haunting reverse elements. The record rounds off with “40W”, a hysterical action-filled no-nonsense track rooted in classic dance-floor action. Sly & shifty, you may rely on us..

"INQUIETUDE" is the work that CRAVO has prepared for its first release in Cassette and Digital format in @anaohrecords, an “A” side with 4 original tracks, with a fine and complex sound design, focused on the track at different times, but without losing the forcefulness that in recent years has characterized the Portuguese artist. Short leads that resemble strings from another planet, deliver a hypnotic message accompanied by classic and well-defined grooves, accompanied by nuclear bombs disguised as kicks, close hi-hats in complex figures that come and go out of the classic, and posing a serious and forceful proposal. 

The “B” side of the release is made up of 4 remixes by artists of the highest quality and to whom we give a welcome full of love and gratitude. Translate & Pulso, NØRBAK, Temudo and Fixon, have been in charge of rethinking the history of CRAVO from their particular perspectives, giving personal approaches to each of the tracks that make up this wonderful release, ranging from deeper versions, to tracks that hammer forcefully the mind of the listener. 

The release is full of good intentions, work and love from everyone involved hoping to contribute to the art and continue to feed the soul...
