Die Orakel welcomes Frankfurt based @n9oc to its lookup-tables, hotwiring its community based operating system anew with 'Memory Allocator'. Her sonic information design echoes both fast-paced and beatless, early and spaced out melodic british IDM, complementing any 90s informed chord-code library. Compiling six sense altering code snippets onto vinyl, n9oc’s 'Memory Allocator' is future proof with any higher AI or real life form to come.

Fibre Optixx presents his 3rd EP ‘Body Thing’ on KANN. Split into two parts, the release draws on a deep love for the fundamentals of 90s dance music. Constantly chopping in chunks of influence, Body Thing is an ode to the frameworks of house and techno.

“What If” is a deep and groovy cut from the first half of the release, with a psychedelic mantra that rolls over the tracks percussive repetitions.

Homelander - Indx EP [Snippets]

Following multiple appearances on local Naarm label digital compilations, RBI lands on Butter Sessions with a full lengths worth of downtempo, ambient and full throttle, braindance-inspired dnb/jungle cuts. Whilst 'Proximity' and 'Return to Nature' presented RBI as one amongst many contemporary vanguards of the Australian electronic underground, her production style is allowed to shine in full effect on debut album Disseminate.

There is an undeniable influence of early breakbeat, 90s IDM and UK sound system pressure at play, though RBI's sound design is knowingly modern. Rarely dropping the tempo below 140 aside from brief, beatless interludes ('100o10o1hz' / 'Gossip'), the result is a fine balance of unrelenting rave music and thoughtful, introspective glitch. Penultimate jam 'Subterranean Dub' seems like a nod to the living-room techno of the Artificial Intelligence series, occasional soft breaks mixing with murky, aquatic ambience, whilst things close with an eerie avant-garde electroacoustic piece. 'Arrivée Les Nuages' strikes as a participation in the current re-evaluation of psytrance, though follows on from 'Vault Ultra' which clearly references the atmospheric breakdowns of golden era dubstep.
All in all, an impressive collection of dance productions which combines elements from scenes of the past 40 years.

NB: The tracks on Disseminate sit within a wider audio-visual context where they soundtrack various Naarm cityscapes rebuilt as immersive digital worlds: "I was lucky enough to collaborate with an incredibly talented friend and training architect Dom who came up with the idea of videos exploring digital spaces and worlds extracted from real locations. To create the work she filmed a number of locations near where we live, a warehouse party location, artist spaces, liminal spaces, objects..."

Montreal’s sapphic mixxtress, the elusive mogul Maara, unveils her debut full length LP via Step Ball Chain. A pairing written in the stars, with twelve dynamically diverse and emotive soundscapes of downtempo bliss, spine-chilling drum and bass and elevated electronica - timeless anthems for sonic indulgence and reflection. Take a deep dive into the sensually charged inner workings of the already prolific producer’s mind. 

An effervescent atmosphere envelopes it’s way through the records entirety, whether it be gloriously lush pads, melancholic words and whispers from her own lips or subterrantian bass. Maara’s world of sound showcases the wild spectrum of emotion, the empathetic passion of joy in Awaken, Plum Plum and Sapphic Rehabilitation Centre alongside the darkness of Insidious Force or Rough ‘N’ Ready. But like most things, the purest beauty can be found within the grey areas, where majority of this records lies. A powerful ebb and flow between cloudy twilight and it’s recurring silver lining, Nothing Sacred wraps you around it’s finger whilst Erotics Of Betrayal pulls you in unexpected directions sure to conjure feelings you didn’t know existed.  

A masterfully united album from start to finish, each listen unveils endless intricacy, delicately and deliciously revealing the potent DNA of Maara.

"Music is meant to be shared" - this is the defining ethos of pi pi pi, a multidimensional platform manifested for the music lovers, listeners, and dancers of our known universe. Whether it’s taking shape as a digital haven of music sharing, a conductive frequency of electrifying amusement, or a side quest with a friend in a lucid dream, pi pi pi has existed as an amorphous zone of (un)reality to inject some spritely silliness and funny fun back into the seriously serious seriousness too often found encroaching the joys of danceable electronic music.

True to its inquisitive nature and quest for fluidity, pi continues to evolve into new & enticing forms - this time, expanding it’s amoeba into a label and connective energy accumulator to bring forth Oscar Huang's debut EP "Slipstream". This first EP release for both pi & Oscar is a collection of tender dispatches recorded amidst the tumultuous landscape of the pandemic, but centered on motion and transcendence in spite of that.

"Slipstream" accesses the mentality of a dreamer pushing beyond the confines of their reality, creating one’s own space for serenity, and the transportative realms music can truly take us to. Much of these visions revolve around Oscar’s upbringing in Pasadena, California, & the west coast’s affinity for smoked-out jungle, sunkissed breakbeat dexterity, and party starting Miami bass. Visions of sprawling canyon drives with friends, high speed velocity through pixelated raceways in Gran Turismo, and the fever pitch of raving in his adopted home of NYC serve as the sensory backdrop for Oscar’s fluttering dispatches from the depths of the hardcore continuum. 

“Adapting” kicks off with an elegantly smooth electro glide, refracting light amongst specks of morning dew or under the orange glow of fading sun - every aspect of it makes it easy to imagine the first sparks of movement igniting at the beginning of a rave, anticipating the joy of dances to come while hearing it. If “Adapting” summons the energy outwards, “Odolbos” conjurs the infinite source of energy within - cranking the velocity skywards, letting the tectonic sub resonance rumble, & throwing care to the wind even as you might find yourself lamenting a beautiful moment’s passing in time. A narrator’s voice in the distance echoes “& the only thing to fear, is that the magic would end…”, juxtaposed over a bass heavy embrace to remind us that the magic could never TRULY end. After all, anything that appears “finite” is simply our perception of a “thing” in an infinitely expanding universe, right? & the only thing to fear, is fear itself! The introvert's partyrocker anthem for the ages.

Raising the bpm way way way up is the rollicking junglist’s paradise of “Hashiriya'' - translating to “One who enjoys riding at high speeds”. Vroom vroom! With it's foot firmly on the gas & it's velocities aimed skywards, “Hashiriya” is a distillation of the most timeless elements of mid90s UK soundsystem jams, when the auras were potent & the genres as loose as the beat grids - just dreamtraveller pads, crooning vocal chops, & vibes (& pingers). Sharing some kindred smile energy directly with the flora-adorned dancefloors of Brooklyn, “No Phones on the Dancefloor'' is the extroverted UK to West Coast ‘lectrobreakz party banger we need as a society - gun fingers pointed towards the sky, backspins opening portals of time & space, and the most wiggly synth line that’s ever synthily wiggled through the fog & lights.

The rattle of drums, scattered along the beaten track, hypnotically guiding you to a place not yet visited; yet all too familiar. Whispers and forgotten chants in surround sound luring an inner urge to surrender, to drink from Sepehr’s Diaspora Cocktail. The 5 track EP finds dwelling on Planet Euphorique for its historical 20th release, emitting a vibration of deeper dance and intriguing electronia the label is notorious for. The first sip opens your ears to the Iranian-American’s sonic sphere, rooted in live freakouts that may or may not be fuelled by his potent audio elixr, a signature special of hedonistic heat. Intoxicated by fragments of percussive EBM, tweaked out dungeon techno and sexy electro, the liquid drips and the delicious potions are stirred and shaken for your pleasure.
