Little track from last year for @noorden 's 10 year anniversary.
Much love to Alex for all the hard work & vision - It's always been a pleasure working together on the concept and artwork aspects of my releases and having a result that reflects my own as much as his taste.

All the best for the next 10!!

@caldera-caldera is an artist whose productions have had me in awe for ages. German but living in Brighton, UK, he runs a monthly radioshow on 1BTN. Caldera's sense of rhythms, texture & the overall hypnotic & dubby sides of techno is something I’ve always been super inspired by. His Leafs EP released back in 2020 is a must-listen (bokharirecords.bandcamp.com/album/leafs). He also just released his second album One Last Glimpse on a label called Noorden - it's full of insane detail & is super impressive: noorden.bandcamp.com/album/one-last-glimpse

Caldera - 30 Friends [FATXXIV 002]

The phone rang off the hook, the shrill tone resounding around the room. Suddenly he jolted upright, out of his daydream and back into reality; back intro the throes of his working day... He took the receiver off the hook, and closed the door to his office - work could wait. Though he'd played the game and hustled his way up to the top, he still believed that people shouldn't spend their whole lives working - working for what exactly? Now he was just counting down the days until he could take that full time vacation.

Proprietors of 'Mutations of the Hardcore Continuum', Melbourne's Branch Points are enlisting the help of six artists for their first ever VA release. Featuring artists from across the globe, the EP brings together Pugilist, Caldera, Dawn Razor, Lithe & Imitation Therapy, Hartta and Barley, all of whom offer up their own takes on functional club music. Of course, it's not that straightforward though: the producers all roam the off kilter spaces of dance music, exploring complex rhythms, staccato beats and rumbling bass frequencies.

PREMIERE: Caldera - Full Time Vacation [Branch Points]

Caldera - Feaves

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

"Opale", Solaryhtm's new opus, is a bold fusion of deep techno ambiences and breakbeat rhythms. Each track subtly explores the nuances and textures of precious stones' brilliant, crystalline blue. Caldera's remix adds a psychedelic, energetic dimension to the EP, enriching this release. 

We're delighted to be able to bring together these two key artists from La Vallée Électrique festival 2023.

Having been forced to pause the events in the spring, Accidental Meeting's restlessness has manifested itself in the form of their debut label release: a 21-track genre spanning compilation.

The crew chose to work closely with friends and family, artists that have an affiliation with AM, each expressing themselves in their freest forms from broken-techno, glitchy breakbeats and mutant dancehall, to IDM & electro.

Premiere: Caldera - Sunset Chasing [Accidental Meetings]

Track that I did 5 years ago when I moved to the UK. Gave it a little retouch for this compilation and to be more 2020 sounding, hope you enjoy.. (:

Please check out the full release from @turnendtapes , it's brilliant and the other tracks are way better than mine!

"Turnend Tapes presents the Da'aro Youth Compilation. An album consisting of various sounds and textures spanning 11 tracks with the involvement of 13 artists.
The Injera Club is the main project run by Da’aro youth which is a community-led organisation supporting young refugees from the Horn of Africa. They aim to promote the wellbeing of these migrant young people living in the UK, through direct support, building bridges in the Eritrean community and through advocating for changes to unfair and discriminatory systems which undermine their wellbeing.
100% of profits will be going to this amazing charity who'd benefit greatly from any support especially given the current escalation of conflict in Ethiopia and Eritrea."
