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!

*recorded live in Field, ON at Best Out of Town Year 4 (09/01/24)

Dileta has been deep in the Montreal underground for the better part of a decade, exploring the nooks of bass, crooked beats, and pitched-up techno. This appearance was two years in the making - and when we finally landed the dates, the thoughtful commotion here proved why.

*recorded live in Field, ON at Best Out of Town Year 4 (09/01/24)

A sunrise session if there ever was one. As the clouds lifted and muted rays shone along the beach, a cresting dancefloor revealed smiles deep and as wide as musa’s sonic palette. Sounds tactile and effervescent, reminding us what’s worth holding onto.
