Hello and welcome to the Armamentarium! 

My name is Professor Kessy and I will be your 6th-gen HumanMaschine guide and assistant today. If you have any questions, please use your touch-to-touch net augments to ask me a question by placing your fingertip on my palm. My model supports multiple local net conversations at once if you choose to augment your reality. Or if you want an auditory conversation, feel free to walk up to me and I'll gladly assist you. Now please follow me and stay close. Our security escorts will follow in front and behind our group, but they are just a precaution.

If you take a look at our 2nd floor, you could say that it is the brain of this whole arcology complex. Everything is run from the Daily Operations Module in Sector Alpha, which is the entryway on your left. The Daily Operation Managers and HumanMaschine assistants run the whole system, but Professor Clauk and Professor Deathmen have the final say on issues of greater importance such as new technological acquisitions, current and future research schedules, delivery shipments, and security intrusions. They are headquartered at the top of the massive concrete and carbon nano-tube  meeting hall you see in front of you. 

Continuing on this main artery of the 2nd floor will lead us to Sector Bravo, where The Armamentarium hosts an innumerable number of laboratories, engineering bays, test firing ranges, nexus systems, and coffee shops. The research hub is always teeming with meaningful activity in the advancement of the human race. Multiple scientific projects are always in session... oh good morning Professor Cobocil! That was Dr. Cobocil who is just coming out of the research hub. He must have had a long night tinkering with his projects!

Anyways, as I was saying, lots of research in done at The Armamentarium. Our scientists, engineers, designers, architects, and artisans are always hard at work. From The Armamentarium's foundation in the late 2050s to now, we have changed the fabric of society through our persistent and undying need for innovation. From Dubfield point defense systems for mechanized battled walkers to energy conversation optimizations in plasma weaponry, we excel at creating one of the best emotions you will ever have: a sense of pride in your Earthian roots when you hold and use one of technological implements in the cold loneliness of the infinite beyond.

Oh! Look to your right, esteemed guests! Dr. Answar is Coding something right now! Oh... he's gone and blacked out the viewing window. Sorry about that folks! He's Requesting that we go somewhere else because we are distracting him. Let's move on shall we?  

Continuing on, when you purchase one of our innovations, you are funding and helping our brothers and sisters in green and blue out there in the great expanse. Our technologies, such as our man-portable Dub-Shield, or perhaps our space-ready and atmo-compatible Vertical-Take-Off-Landing drop-ships, reflect our consummate man/HumanMaschine hours spent developing, testing, and improving our productions.

This is where I will leave you to explore. Most of the staff here don't mind if you go and ask them a few questions, but please make sure you do it through the viewing windows on your local-net! Some of our staff and guest innovators may be busy testing equipment that might cause you bodily harm should you wander in their work space unnoticed!

If you have any questions, please contact me, Dr. Kessy, on your local-net! 

Enjoy your stay at The Armamentarium!

Responsible for organizing the Moments event series throughout Berlin, I/Y is releasing an EP celebrating their collaboration with all the artists who performed and adhered to the Moment’s concept in the last few years. Releasing music from everyone was impossible, but the 4 tracks produced by Voiski, Blind Observatory, Schloss Mirabell, and I/Y give a solid idea of what Moments is about.

Danny Wolfers (most frequently known as Legowelt) is a producer and performer who has worn many hats, all of them styled with finesse. His range is immense but never disparate; through releases for Clone, L.I.E.S., Creme Organization and Peoples Potential Unlimited (among others) Legowelt has spanned everything from frosty techno, sprawling boogie and melodic acid house to chugging electro without sacrificing bonafide quality or pandering to the fad du jour. In his newest effort, a debut EP for Fotomachine’s Technicolour imprint entitled Anaconda Flow, listeners are treated to that dynamism in its very finest form. Uplifting, dreamy synth sequences are incorporated alongside his instantly recognizable gritty floor-fillers for a four-piece package that will both delight the home listener and devastate the dance. His long-demonstrated devotion to hardware is utilized here to extraordinary effect: blips bubble to a murky surface, twinkles cascade from above and a kick drum pulses straight through everything it touches—all in all a darkly immersive little jewel, though who would have expected any less?

nthng follows up his acclaimed debut EP 'Remember Us' with the third entry into the Mörk catalogue, '1996'. Taking a less aquatic approach to production, but still shrouded in warm analogue fuzz and reverb, '1996' sees the young producer on much more reverent form, channeling a wider range of influences from German dub techno to staggered UK bass and Giegling-esque minimal tropes.

* CLEAR VINYL LIMITED EDITION * 

London based electronic music label Khemia Records announces its second split release vinyl Ep. 

Aurora on the Lunar side is a new work created for Khemia by venerable Canadian producers Orphx. 

Crepuscular, infrasonic hydro-acoustics submerge padding rhythms, emerging gradually through oscillations and the caustic snarl of static, into a mutant echo chamber of polyrhythmic hypnosis and fractal bleeps to be finally swept away by vast, billowing swathes of spectral harmonics. 

Emboli, on the Solar Side is a new track written specially for Khemia by the enigmatic sound artist Rrose. 

Cascades of iridescent particles coruscate against the shadow of an ominous dirge, crashing into a wall of slurred rhythm that opens into a glacial abyss, punctuated by a fearfully insistent whiplash that finally dissolves into a quantum field of bituminous drones.

nthng finally follows up his four stunning EPs with a full album proper, arriving in a whopping 3xLP pack.

Arriving a good 6 months after the LT029.5 album sampler which debuted both Soms and In My Dreams, nthng adds another seven hazy, hooded techno bangers to those to make up a pretty dazzling body of work.

Opener 'Touches' is true ambient bliss, with shrouded, blissful synths fuzzing into view and cut through by a soft low distant sunlight. 

Both Galaxy and Eternal thump into view with a hi-paced drums colliding and clashing with syncopated stabs and smooth dusty baselines, recalling the tender techno-trance precipice danced by Dutch producers at the start of the 90's.

The huge mysterious fan favourite and title track It Never Ends gets it's pride of place with 9 mins of deep, cavernous techno, all rippling with epic string-synths and washes of mountainous reverb.

Even deeper numbers are extracted from the hard-drive, including the pensively, digitally-bubbling computer jam Unity sitting tidily alongside the super deep and subtle rolls of Abyss.

Rounding the album out is the appropriately-titled Last. A dark, shimmering, almost emotionless number that cements a different idea of the future. A hard, pounding, yelping, depth-charged technoid closer.

For us, the album feels like a real masterpiece, conjuring a spectrum of intimate and emotive moods, feelings and nostalgia-tinged memories that float into the mind, like the settling fog in the valley on a crisp winters morning.

EXCLUSIVE_ Madben - In Depth (Basic Soul Unit Remix)

His music, whether in the form of his melodic, gospel-inspired Floorplan output or as himself via M-Plant, has always sounded fresh and unique, while always bearing his quintessential sound.

He's made an appearance on the new Landside remix EP where he joins Bambounou, Etapp Kyle and Edanticonf for edits of 'Signs of Change' and 'Desert Lake'. His re-imagining of 'Signs of Change' is a classic slice of Hood magic and you can listen to it first here.

Laurel Halo DJ-Kicks out 22nd March 2019:  https://k7.lnk.to/LaurelHalo

The 68th edition of the DJ-kicks mix series is another landmark one, with experimental producer Laurel Halo taking the reins. The American’s adventurous 29-track trip features seven exclusives, including two of her own plus those from Rrose, Machinewoman, FIT Siegel, Nick León and Ikonika.

An electronic outlier, Halo hails from Ann Arbor, Michigan, but has been based in Berlin for a number of years. Landing on labels like Hyperdub, Honest Jon’s and Latency, Halo has released a body of work ranging in style, yet cohered by production and compositional tendencies that sound distinctly her own. Her studio work tends to be a multi-layered mix of the electronic and the acoustic, the organic and the synthetic. As a DJ, meanwhile, she lays down more floor-focussed mixes of techno, bass and worldly drum rhythms, and her live sets are similarly visceral and direct.

Halo’s DJ-kicks packs a lot in to just 60 minutes. It kicks off with the first of two of her own exclusives, ‘Public Art’, a tactile piano loop that sets the melodic tone of the mix in focus. Crunchy drums soon take over and begin what is a blistering ride through electro, trippy minimalism and textures that range from icy and dubby to steel plated and sharp from the likes of Red Axes, Parris and an exclusive from Rrose.

Another exclusive, rough and ready techno cut from Machinewoman follows, before the mid section twists and turns on surging drum patterns, frantic industrial textures and spaced out gqom sounds from the likes of Griffit Vigo, Dario Zenker and Final Cut. This is a mix forever on the move: one minute its tightly coiled and kinetic, the next it’s loose and joyful before switching into more cerebral and insular passages that keep you intrigued. Fusing together so many disparate sounds and textures is no mean feat, but like everything Halo does, here they all add up to something as thrilling and edgy as it is unpredictable and compelling.
