Une excellente introduction aux sons de "The New Human".

https://soundcloud.com/cortecxxx

Up next on Bricolage is the debut EP from Cortecx. 

Ryan Doherty is a Scottish producer, Glasgow born and bred, now based in Hong Kong. Cortecx has slowly but surely worked on evolving his techniques and process for several years now and has sculpted a unique take on all things rhythmic based along the way.

If you are familiar with our "Turadh" compilation from last year then you may be aware of his phenomenal track, "Reflections".

The "Above The Clouds" EP takes things up a notch. Cerebral techno that pulls you in to another dimension. We start things off with a bubbly and edgeless ambient soundscape that gently sinks its way into your consciousness. After that we enter the darker side of Cortecx with two shadowy and dynamic tracks that bring his relentless and powerful percussive elements to the forefront. The weighty rhythms propel both tracks skyward in a meticulous manner while the mysterious layers of sound design add an extra enigmatic elements to the already hypnotic mood that glimmers throughout.

Cortecx closes out proceedings with the astonishing "Plasma". An epic journey that best encapsulates his talents for mixing atmospherics and tempo. A sonic excursion of thumping kicks that come shrouded in emotive tones and crystalline pads. A mesmerizing ending to a stellar debut release.

For our next release, we welcome the enigmatic producer, 'The New Human', to the label with his stunning album, "Proximity Mantra".

"The New Human" isn't afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve. Proudly incorporating the late 90's/early 2000's IDM methodology into his own techniques to create a curious blend of ambient, glitch and twisted yet mellow electronica.

The eight tracks on show here provide us with a myriad of ever evolving and crunchy percussion. Beats that stretch, warp and turn. Each pattern waiting to uncoil and mangle into the next.

Then there's the dark and deep basslines that provide the ideal backdrop for these shuffling and effervescent soundscapes. But it's not all bass and complex beats. There's a whole host of technicolour and expressive melodies in the quieter moments that allow 'The New Human' to showcase his knack for exploratory synth work. Glacial harmonics intertwine with classic IDM bleeps that succeed in carrying the tracks into evocative territory.

The album is rounded out with two remixes. Inverness based producer, Beira, provides her own spiky and chaotic take on "Phoenix" before label boss, Fragile X, dissolves "Thought Patterns" into an ambient electronica journey to close out the release.

RAWAX proudly welcomes Mark Hawkins to the Family!
We re very happy to present you the "Autonomy EP" under his Cypherpunk alias! A great blippy tweaky and jacking release which reminds us the time of Neil Landtsrumm on Peacefrog.
Highly recommended!

Mark Hawkins has had a career in music spanning the past 25 years. It has encompassed torturing Goa trance ravers with esoteric techno records on Welsh hillsides in the mid '90s, hanging with UK house heads like the DiY and Smokescreen sound-systems around quarries, fields, clubs and pubs in the Midlands, after which he found his initial niche in producing punky techno around the turn of the millennium for labels like Djax Up Beats and Mosquito.
After an eight-year stint producing, releasing and playing out proper underground house music as Marquis Hawkes on labels like Houndstooth and Aus Music, making techno records for DVS1's Mistress imprint and Len Faki's Figure recordings as Juxta Position, alongside other work under the names Contactless and Falcon Black Ops for Unknown To The Unknown, Hawkins now embarks on the next phase of his career, which will gradually amalgamate his broad influences into one unique sound.
