In this opening Erasercast we loop and adjust dancehall’s nonchalant tempo towards a frenetic, club-ready pulse.

Inspired in part by Dutch Bubbling, we’ll be mutating dancehall selections in an attempt to open up new opportunities for contemporary dancefloors.

Strife Riddim (Episode 01 Excerpt)

Assuming that ‘acid’ meant psychedelics in reference to Acid House, club-goers and producers in Britain and Europe would mould (via this misinterpretation) a drug accompaniment in the form of Hardcore, Rave, Gabber and so on. Beats per minute would rise and soar, evolving into a science of amplifying the Ecstasy rush of any given club-goer.  

This month Eraser will attempt to portray an edgy exhilaration on the borderline of panic reaction via the rave music that defined a new drug subculture during the early 90s. Panic, exhilaration and brief ruptures in consciousness are staple themes in this month’s podcast.

Erasercast: Episode 02 (Little Deaths And Partial Identities)

In the last Erasercast we touched on the essence of speed, tempo and panic culture. In this third instalment we further explore the notion of panic (and of warning) by pushing the feature of speed and tempo, to the highest possible extreme.

We will mutate electronic dance music, originally designed for 120 to 130 BPM dancefloors through our software’s highest fixed tempo, in an attempt to force rhythm into near or complete disappearance.

Song in the key of warning - A frequent trope in video games, by which music speeds up when a player is in a disadvantageous situation shall be surpassed to the point of panic override and instead, affecting the sound in an ambience of fast-paced collisions, calm, drones and nothingness. We will try conceptualising the theory that too much speed is comparable to too much light… We see nothing.
