Melodic Techno

Stem Records imprint kicks off 2014 with a two track single, comprising an original track from Agents Of Time, entitled ‘Lost Dreams’, and Orbis Terrarum turning a remix on the flip side.

Italian trio Agents Of Time aka Andrea Di Ceglie, Fedele Ladisa and Luigi Tutolo, are fresh names on the scene, making their debut on Stem Records. ‘Lost Dreams’ is the first single from Agents Of Time’s forthcoming L.P set to drop via Stem later in the year, seeing the outfit deliver a sound characterized by a fusion of electronica, techno and ambient soundscapes. A perfect fit for the Stem Records back catalogue, which has seen the spaced out sounds of Legowelt, the hypnotic, vocaldriven electronica of Mooryc and Ted Alexander’s gritty house style featured.

The original mix of ‘Lost Dreams’ kicks off the single, seeing the trio play on ethereal ambient soundscapes, bumpy analogue rhythms, whirring, distorted guitar tones and arp-style synth lines. Creating a ghostly, entrancing atmosphere that subtly blooms as the record progresses, while intermittent breaks introduce swirling dub echoes and vocal murmurs, to further fuel the expansive dynamism of the composition.

Then on the latter half of the single we see Orbis Terrarum rework ‘Lost Dreams’, taking things in a more upfront, hook-driven direction, bringing a weighty kick and lingering stab sequence to the forefront, while sporadic percussive hits, expansive reverberated vocals and tension building pads, generate a cold big-room vibe, which much like it’s predecessor seemingly never falters and keeps unfolding, yet in a more refined and understated way this time.

As always from Stem Records we have more classy, sophisticated electronic music here, kicking off 2014 brilliantly for what’s expected to be another great year for the imprint. Agents Of Time’s ‘Lost Dreams’ EP is out on Monday 27 January 2014.

Maceo Plex's remix of 'Sordid Affair' is a textbook Plex edit.

Deep, powerful and synth heavy, this could well be the best Royksopp edit we've heard all year and is certainly the perfect way to say goodbye.

Recondite - Think Twice EP
A long time friend of the label and an artist who needs no introduction, Recondite presents two unique techno narratives for his much anticipated first EP on Life and Death.

Up first and straight out the gate like the turning of the great Boethian wheel, Think Twice turns over and on top of itself again, like the march of time and the fortunes of paupers and princes alike. An ever advancing urgent reminder of the transitory nature of the eternal now, it graces us with her beauty and leaves us with a shaking sensation deep in our bones. 

On the B side, Serak begins with a bellowing bass emitted like a series of holotropic breaths from belly of Stanislav Grof himself. A sequence of sounds sent like a fishing line to the depths of the psyche, it returns with a portentous melody that winds and wanders until exploding midway thru the piece in a burst of restrained emotion.

Recondite - Placid

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

Under Skin

Ukrainian duo Woo York deliver a powerful, driving, dark-yet-sophisticated sound on their upcoming ‘Chasing The Dream’ LP, set to drop on May 4 as the first artist album on Afterlife. 

Opening with the brooding and thought-provoking cosmic stabs of the aptly titled ‘Inception’, Woo York guide you through a fluid-like path across ‘Chasing the Dream’, offering fluttering synths on ‘Walk Along The Rainbow’ and a rattling percussive core to ‘There Is A Light.’ Their signature 303 magic hints at acid on ‘Through Peaks and Valleys’, and there is ice-cold ambience to finish in ‘Rise’ and an alternate mix of the title track. A landmark within the Realm Of Consciousness.
