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!

PREMIERE: CMD - Shaping Inner Space [Fixed Rhythms]

If you are able to, please consider donating more than $10 - all profits will be donated to Solidarity Across Borders (www.solidarityacrossborders.org) — a non-profit organization that works to protect human rights, active in Montreal since 2003.

Dance Across Borders is a platform bringing together music artists against borders and state brutality, originally based in Montreal (Tiotia:ke in the language of Kanien’kehá:ka people ; ) and now beyond. This project is to remind that this music, embodied in spaces, is above all political - and made to unite across all types of physical or abstract borders.

!!! FOR MONTREAL PPL --> RELEASE RAVE-PARTY ALERT !!!
On November 18th we will throw a release rave-party in a church basement, with all the profits donated to Milton-Parc food bank and to Solidarity Across Borders. It will be one for the books, make sure to attend!

CMD - Cruising the Cloud Cache

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.

*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.

SXCL is a versatile musician from Reunion Island. Producer and disc jockey since 2017, they have been morphing their style with time to fit their eclectic taste. Going from house to progressive trance, to electro and more recently to old-school techno, their versatility brought them to play in venues like Säule, and recently at the Festival Electropicales alongside artists like Jeff Mills and Danilo Plessow. Sensitive to the intricate textures of electronic music, SXCL masterfully merges house and techno, blurring the lines that traditionally separate them. SXCL crafts their sets with meticulous care, prioritizing the audience's journey above all else. Expect a touch of melancholy floating around.
