"French musicians Alban Mercier(Officium) and Eric Desjeux (Tzii) team up after years of friendship for a 9-tracks collaborative album that will be out on OKVLT. The duo’s first recording attempt is a highly evocative and melancholic album based on the pair personal archives, techniques and souvenirs. A collection of twisted voices, haunting synths and percussions combining Tzii’s composition skills with Officium’s field recordings, chant and bleak approch of sound.
“WATCHING MYSELF FORGET WITH NO RESISTANCE” is an intimate research on perception, memory and inward visions : sometimes violent, yet poetic and definitely elegiacal. "
Full streaming of Officium's track "Grey Blue Eyes". A tide of ethereal melodies and percussion instruments in a field recording backround, while the hollow bass kicks in, transforming everything to a slowburn beat with synth flexions and sliced and floating distorted sounds.

Matti Turunen is probably best known for his work as Morphology (with Michael Diekmann) but here he goes it alone for a new EP on Cultivated Electronics vinyl-only series,  Cultivated Electronics Ltd.

Finnish electronic maestro, Turunen's previous solo ventures without his Morphology cohort are rare.  The last time was a track for AC Records in 2013 (which was remastered earlier this year for Bandcamp), but appearances have also cropped up on Abstract Forms, Muhk and Bliq in previous years.

For his 'Radau' EP on CE Ltd he turns up the Electro-funk to the max with lush arrangements, dulcet melodies and gritty beats – there's a warmth in the machines.

CELT011 - Matti Turunen - Radau

Datashader emerges from the shadows with a striking breaks- and bass-heavy debut release that challenges the fabric of our digital existence. Replete with a Dopplereffekt remix, it nods to the legacy of revered anonymous acts such as Scopex, Drexciya and Underground Resistance, pushing the boundaries of both electronic music exploration and its conceptual underpinnings. As a critique of the erosion of genuine human connection in the digital age, Datashader delivers a barrage of billowing subs, infectious electro, recontextualized jungle, and techno, serving as a poignant counterbalance to current dance floor-centric norms. It's a contemporary anti-soundtrack that offers a haunting mirror to the societal costs of technological convenience. 

In a world engulfed by the digital realm, where social media platforms thrive and dominate every aspect of our lives, the enigmatic project known as Datashader was founded to reflect on the pervasive erosion of authentic human connection through various virtual realities.

Artistically, Datashader seeks to critique the impact of technology on human identity and relationships, breaking with an archetype of digital conformity and expressing a profound disillusionment with the superficiality of online interactions through music. Genuine human connection and art cannot be quantified by likes, comments, or followers but rather thrives in the visceral realm of shared sonic experience and human emotion. This idea is at the core idea of Datashader, whose artistic expression ranges from avant-garde composition and electronic experimentations to art, installation, film and more.

Expressed within the varied contexts of diverse artistic mediums, Datashader explores the concept of "technological gentrification", which describes the gradual displacement of human interaction by technology. Just as gentrification alters the urban landscape, driving out communities and cultures, digital gentrification transforms the social landscape, replacing genuine connection with curated online personas. 

Musically, Datashader's practice confronts this dystopian reality, highlighting the alarming consequence of people becoming mere nodes in a network, reduced to a collection of data points. This is manifested sonically by a blistering assault of breaks, recontextualized IDM, abstract electronics and otherworldly synthscapes, conceived as the aesthetic counterbalance to much of contemporary electronic music's dancefloor focus. 

Datashader dives deep into genres and influences which stand for a form of sonic resistance: A contemporary anti- soundtrack &ndash; a sonic mirror of the price we pay for convenience and instant gratification. A self-image in constant flux. No false technological idols.

Procesos de algo(ritmos), tecnolilusiones sin género: el sonido pícaro de dj mais deja su sello en mixtapes que exploran la potencia narrativa del montaje en donde una amalgama de ritmos y estilos a partir del techno y el house conviven con la cadencia del dub o el postpunk.

 A partir de un concentrado trabajo de selección, en los últimos años Dj mais ha grabado un gran número de mixtapes para Muito Radio, plataforma que dirige desde el año 2020, incluyendo los shows Contra, Divino Maravilhoso, Local Mambo y El Parrandero Breakfast Show, un nuevo programa con selecciones mensuales que van más allá de la música de club incluyendo pasajes más experimentales y una variedad de ritmos latinos con el espíritu libre y sincopado del mambo.
