With ‘100% Dope’ we find Central Processing Unit bringing up their hundredth catalogue number, and you’d struggle to find a more fitting artist to ring in a century of releases for the label than Cygnus. The one born Phillip Washington has been with CPU since the very beginning, his 2012 LP ‘Newmark Phase’ representing the first record ever released on the imprint. That album’s combination of textured techno and grizzly Drexciyan electro set the tone for CPU perfectly, and it’s no surprise that Cygnus has returned to the Sheffield imprint several times down the years.

While ‘100% Dope’ is an expert demonstration of what Cygnus and CPU do, this EP also shows just how much both artist and label have grown over the past nine years. At its heart ‘100% Dope’ is a set of prime machine-funk from a master of the form, but these are also some of the most daring and innovative tracks that Cygnus has ever produced. 

Take opening cut ‘Bad RGB Controller’. In the undulating synth lines we have a ghost of grime as well as Drexciyan drive, and as such the track reminds one as much of Mr. Mitch or Last Japan as it does, say, Dopplereffekt. Furthermore, ‘Bad RGB Controller’ shifts gear around the halfway mark into a highwire electronica mode which has the wit and spark of prime Bogdan Raczynski. Entries like ‘Float Back To The Surface’ are similarly unpredictable. There's some lovely industrial techno bite to this one - the snare drum will echo in your head long after the party’s died down - but Cygnus periodically pulls out the rug from underneath us with passages of impressionistic texture that almost border on sound art. 

‘Float Back To The Surface’ is one of a trio of vocoder-led jams here. On ‘Throwing Shade’ we hear I-F and Egyptian Lover, with Cygnus’ vocals clattering around like pronouncements from some funked-out robot overlord atop hissing-piston drums. Then there’s the enticingly-titled ‘CPU Records’. ‘CPU Records’ delivers all the crisp electro snap we’ve come to expect from a record emblazoned with that signature black-and-white artwork, yet this thing is also widescreen and cinematic in ways that demonstrate the maturation of the Cygnus sound. With a wicked vocoder vocal that celebrates the label’s many achievements, ‘CPU Records’ is a victory lap tune if ever we’ve heard one.

Central Processing Unit keep it 100 on for this new EP. ‘100% Dope’ by Cygnus is CPU’s 100th catalogue number, and the Texan producer delivers on the promise of the record’s title with a collection of brilliantly unique electro joints.

For this month's Intergalactic Rhythms, we will broadcast live from the Sleeve++ record store in Leipzig, where Clear Memory will showcase their signature all-things-electro sound in a special 3 hour takeover with crew members Milium and Rekorder.
The label is well known far beyond the borders of Germany and not only since their latest release from January 2021 - which hits diggers hard with “Speedy Beats, High Energy - Electro deeply saturated with rap samples and breaks”, as they describe the sound of CLEAR005.
We are very happy to have these guys with us for the next episode!
Expect loads of unreleased music.

Mix Series Vol. 77 by Natural Sciences

Mix #087 comes from the hugely talented, Lewski!

Lewski released his first solo record at Patron Records, based in Amsterdam in 2017. The diverse likes of artists on his first release ensured he will never stop. After the first one he released his second at Darko Esser’s Wolfskuil. After those two his reputation of blending acid, electro and several styles together get noticed by Or:la. In 2019 Lewski had the opportunity to release the first EP on her fresh new label called: ‘Céad’.

In 2019 the record at Or:la’s label wasn’t the only record he put out. A single track ‘Artificial Beings’ (Support by Helena Hauff and Laurent Garnier’s Tsugi Electro mix CD) V.A. and recently ‘Bicameral Mind EP’. Both came out on his homebase Patron Records. 

Even though Utrecht-based Lewski has only just begun to make waves in the scene, the gig section of his resumé speaks for itself with appearances at De School, Zeezout, Awakenings and Twitch in Belfast. Don’t forget his local club Was in Utrecht where he also played his first Boiler Room set and completely rocked it.

Lewski’s perspective on performing as a DJ is all about finding that perfect moment and choosing precisely the right frequencies to get everybody’s vibe in the room on the same wavelength.

Peeve & Parts Unknown (17/4/22)

Caution

The subconscious cave is not an empty space in the conscious mind,

it is a bubbling space, haunted by questions and mystical activity.

“Natif” (Stalactite - in hebrew) is a seventh tracks EP by Tel-Aviv based DJ and producer MYKI.

Any substance, water drip or murmur reveals a cloak of meaning in the form of a showy echo.

a variety of ancient animals, forbidden imaginary fruits and mysterious passions sneak in at night and look for a place of refuge to rest, to sleep.

The stalactites (Natif) are amorphous juice from the bottom of the mind, they are the seeds of confusion and irrationality and they seep through cracks in the cave and produce chaos and trembling until suddenly, out of a nightmare are born proud crystals of splendor and inspiring beauty.
