March 23 marks the release date of ’Ox-Eye EP’, April Bourne’s debut on Bound Centre. Inspired by the UK and its diverse sounds like Grime, UK Funky and Garage Dutch born April Bourne started producing music a few years back. Ox-Eye marks his debut EP on Bound Centre after his promising first steps into the public with his track Crying In The Club which was featured on a compilation by Austrian label Ashida Park. 

His sound is best categorised as friendly sounding melodic ambient with the use of gated synths and minimalistic percussion he calls pitter-patter beats. The concept of the EP is based on the daisy or ox-eye as it is also called. Where nature is often smothered by synthetics and the rise of human technology, the daisy merges and thrives in these surroundings. This interplay between the organic and the synthetic symbolises April Bourne’s search for balance in his sound.

‘to be cherished (Side A)’ 

On the 16th of November, Evelyn Palace will release her album ‘to be cherished (Side A)’ on Bound Centre. As the title suggests ‘Side A’ is the first chapter in a very personal duology, with Side B following soon after. After 5 years of producing Evely Palace started to experiment with vocals and soon after she self-released her first two albums, ‘Centipede Castle’ (October, 2021) and Lilith (April, 2022).

With ‘to be cherished’ Evelyn shares a renewed version of herself. The entire album was written over a period of a year, with Side A being made last summer while recovering from heartbreak. This period of her life contains highs, lows, self-discovery, transformation and reflection. All this turmoil and newly found clarity is captured within these two chapters. The intergalactic-trap sound of her previous projects only partly remains, whilst influences from jungle, drum and bass and hip-hop are injected. In exploring her own sound Evelyn discovered a desire not to choose a single genre for Ms. Palace. What remains in the centre are ethereal vocals, celestial melodies and personal lyrics.

to be cherished (Side A)

Evelyn Palace - so fulfilling

E@wasmusic-1
motional material manifests itself in many different forms. Sometimes it flows like a river, rolls like a wave or pours like rain. The fluidity of emotional experience makes sense as our bodies are mostly made up of water – life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

PREMIERE: pol100 - Hypothermia [Bound Centre]

WATCH > https://inverted-audio.com/visual/music-video-pol100-edema

In conjunction with @boundcentre latest release from pol100 (@wasmusic-1), today we are delighted to share the music video for 'Edema' - produced by Amsterdam production duo Buien, the architecturally-trained duo have created a visual assault that matches the urgency and vibrancy of pol100's track.

Sepsis (EP)

pol100 – Edema [Bound Centre]

Victor Metske is a Rotterdam-based electronic musician, who is normally known for his energetic club-ready style of production and for the label Bound Centre, which he co-founded with Ice Viper, Imhotel & Ezra V. On katharsis, he presents a more introspective and thoughtful side of himself with his EP “In The Midst Of Things”, which seems to stem from this weird year of isolation and quarantine. 

The 4 tracks of the EP send us on a contemplative journey through our feelings, spanning from the blissful pads on the beautiful opener “Flour On Her Feet” to the more disturbing and anxious plucked strings on “First Sight”. Metske states the following about the release:

“In the midst of things, in between life changing events and entirely new daily routines there were small moments where I could sit down and reflect. The four tracks of this EP were created in these small pockets of time. During the pregnancy of my girlfriend, after the birth of our son, at the arrival of a global crisis. 

Melodic and atmospheric elements previously hidden in my send channels have been braving the foreground of my productions for a while now. But more recently I've been able to use these elements to translate the weight of recent events directly into some of my music. All four tracks represent very personal abstract feelings that I could never put to words.

Within these four tracks I can hear feelings of joy, love, doubt and melancholy scream back at me. I can hear myself settling into a new world, struggling with relinquishing control and discovering calmth.”
