Refracted - Torn Relics EP - Bitta - Bitta011

A1 - Torn Relics
A2- Grind You Under
B1 - The View From Cal Companyó
B2 - Down Under

DJ Nobu's Bitta welcomes Refracted. The Spanish producer delivers four expertly crafted cuts of his deep diving techno, fully embracing Bitta's hypnotic and energetic approach. Nobu: "Refracted is a unique techno producer whose work I have been playing in my sets for a long time". And the respect is mutual. Where Refracted witnessed many DJ sets of Nobu in person. "As a fan he experienced a number of my open air sets that were important to me, I think he has developed a complete understanding of what style of track works best on the dance floor in my sets".

The result is 'Torn Relics'. Four tracks reaching from tribal tinged loop techno to intense acidic wormholes. "When Refracted first sent me his demo's I was amazed how well they fitted my taste. All tracks on this EP are — in my interpretation — most effective when played outdoors. Of course, they will also sound amazing in a club setting. I've been playing these tracks at every important open air festival last year, so I wanted to make them available for you as soon as possible. I would call this EP is a true "open air techno masterpiece".

"I strongly hope that in 2022 this EP will be in the hands of many DJs and played at many open air parties around the world".

END RESULT® PODCAST 02 // TAKAAKI ITOH

Active for nearly three decades, Japanese DJ and producer Takaaki Itoh has been carving out a niche truly his own in the realm of deep techno. Pumping out multi-sensory DJ tools for breakfast, Itoh champions a sound highly dynamic yet infused with the kind of minute textural work and layers of modular complexity one can not but marvel at. Punching in with a wild two hours of electro-magnetic hardware funk and entrancingly immersive brainwaves, the Sendai-based wizard elevates us to a whole new world where hi-tech submersion and atmospheric club music reign supreme. A work of art.

distribution via: https://clonedistribution.com/

Following up on the Hayal EP in 2023, Dutch techno refractor Konduku makes a welcome return to Bitta with another four cuts of prismatic club fuel. Throughout his consistent output Ruben Üvez applies non-standard ideas to the techno formula, toying with rhythm and eliciting transcendental atmospheres from unusual patterns.

This mode of exploration continues unabated on Gazoz, with the title track in particular leaning on a full-frequency, one-note synth pulse which dominates the mix and becomes truly hypnotic in its relentless presence. In the wrong hands it would come off garish, but Üvez knows how to weave subtlety around such forthright sonics to create a sublime sonic experience. 'Mikros' aligns with Konduku's more recognisable palette — taut, bell-like rhythmic threads that balance delicacy and impact while tunnelling into mysterious, introspective zones.

Aimed squarely at the heads-down section of the night, 'Luna' strides forth with a decisive dub techno palette and finds space for expression and progression in the most linear of arrangements. In true B2 style, 'Inici' rounds the EP out with a more fractured approach centred on reversed kicks and psychoactive arps riding wide and slow pitch bends for a mind-melting finish running at a formidable pace.

As well as showcasing Konduku at his best, the sound on Gazoz serves as an extension of Bitta boss DJ Nobu's own particular tastes in techno — brain-tweaking machine music crafted from supple parts, honed for the club without being limited by it.

DJ Nobu - Extra Tools - Bitta - BITTA006

a1. Freq003
a2. Dualism
b1. Ichimaru
b2. STO

DJ Nobu returns to his own Bitta label, his personal playground for new musical projects with a focus on artists coming out of Japan. The label functions as a space for experimentation with the intention of instigating multiple styles by unexpected artists or pairing them with stimulating remixers. The unique chemistry created by these cross-genre connections results in an exciting catalogue carefully curated and directed by DJ Nobu himself.

After recent outings on Rush Hour, Token and BleeD, the Japanese producer dives even deeper into a pure and adventurous techno journey with his most simplistic output to date. He considers this EP a DJ tool designed for the club, with four tracks of stripped down yet powerful dance floor workouts. All cuts have been tested and proven in Nobu’s own DJ sets before now, so he decided to make them available for fellow DJs to play and experiment with.

‘Freq003’ starts as a minimal trip, where a gurgling wave of energy melts into the rhythmic patterns for maximum impact. ‘Dualism’ might be the most melodic jam of all, with lush melodies highlighted by an energetic groove that evolves into a magnificent loop track. Flipping to the b-side, the fierce power of hypnotism takes over, ‘Ichimaru’ drags you into a dark wormhole of planetary space techno where ’STO’ closes the EP with six minutes of cavernous deep bass waves that emphasize the strength of multifunctional, minimalistic loop techno.

In light of the current Covid-19 Pandemic Studio Enisslab headed up by Italian DJ / Producer and Live Act Neel has announced the release of a very special 56 track charity compilation project, fundraising for The Red Cross, who are working extremely hard alongside health services internationally that are feeling the effects of the corona-virus outbreak the most right now. The compilation is available for a limited time via Bandcamp and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to The Red Cross to help the world’s most affected countries in the Covid-19 pandemic.

This special release features over 6 hours of previously unreleased and unheard material, where an all star cast of artists were encouraged to share music that reflects this time we are living in.

Neel, who is one half of live duo Voices From The Lake, and LF58 speaks out on behalf of the initiative, organised in collaboration with improvised live project Circle Of Live, and visual art collective Sbagliato. He explains:

“In this situation we all need to look after each other and this project is a start. I wanted to reach as many people as possible to spread this message, so I started to share the idea personally with lots of artists and the response was amazing. I wanted them to take their time with whichever tools they had available at home to produce some music that reflects this time we are living in, a contribution for this special project and to portray a special message.”

The project’s cover art image brought to you by visual art collective Sbagliato shows pictures of windows of houses and studios taken by the artists themselves: 56 musicians, 56 windows, 56 tracks shape a new place of sharing.
