CMD aka Corina MacDonald is a Montreal-based DJ, producer and host of the program Modular Systems on CKUT 90.3 FM. She has released on JACKTONE, EXPERIMENTAL HOUSEWIFE’S PERFECT LOCATION RECORDS, FUR TRADE RECORDINGS, and BASIC_SOUNDS. For her vinyl debut, “Social Factory Reset”, she brings us four entrancing, slightly dubby and acidic techno dance floor cuts perfect for the smooth edges of the late night.The A-side opens up with the title track “Social Factory Reset”, modular jacking techno with an infectious acid swell and patient pads. “Shaping Inner Space” is an apt title. The tempo is slightly faster than A1, and it sounds like an extraterrestrial night out. Euphoric synth twists bring in the break while the bass drum toys with the rhythm only to zap it back home with the force of cosmic gravity.“Dream-Life Cycles” opens up the B-side tough, with an acid line and bass drum syncopation sure to bring out the stomp. Modular tweets fire off in stereo; harmonic pads bring in the harmony; and a nuanced and pleasantly surprising vocal line brings the euphoria on home. “Body Locked” closes the EP with an athletic, cosmic techno track that doesn’t shy away from the trance palette. Step out of your body and onto the dance floor!CMD "Social Factory Reset" drops on Fixed Rhythms December 10th!

* FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-cmd/

Corina MacDonald aka CMD has been busy recently, releasing two EPs in the last few months of 2021; Precarious Pursuit on Bandcamp and Social Factory Reset with the US label Fixed Rhythms. For Montrealers, her voice might be familiar from CKUT radio where she hosts the program Modular Systems every other Sunday. As a producer and DJ, she has performed at editions of MUTEK, Piknic Electronik, Igloofest, and in many of Montreal’s club nights and venues, where she fuses synth-laden aesthetics of acid, techno, electro, and house music. This mix is representative of some of her musical predispositions, setting the more abstract and ambient up against some techno and electro gems, mixing up the old guard and newcomers alike.

my closing set from the very first moodswings party with somebody3lse (@jan-ice-504234118) and our guests @skinnybones and @jasnasty

CMD @ moodswings 2024.05.30

As a label based in North America, we have witnessed the continued complicity of our governments in the genocide against innocent Palestinian lives. We believe this compilation is a collection of music that was produced and chosen with heart, contemplation, and shared frustration.

The organization we have chosen to donate proceeds of the compilation is The Palestine Children's Relief Fund. They offer free medical care to injured and ill children in Palestine, including Gaza, who lack local access to care within the existing healthcare system. The Palestine Children's Relief Fund holds a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and a Silver Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.

Learn more about the organization here: www.pcrf.net

Thank you to the artists for sharing your work, and thank you to the listeners for the support on our release for this cause.

As CMD, Corina MacDonald explores the deeper reaches of techno, her music building into an atmospheric reverie set in dub. Through a consistently evolving system of software paired with synths, samplers and oscillators, she crafts live shows and DJ sets that merge experimental ideas and field recordings with an enviable sample collection and battering beats—where shimmering synth tones meet industrial grind and steady machine rhythms.
