PREMIERE : Rocio Portillo, Valley (AR) feat. Karim Sar Sar - Dark Passenger [Movement Recordings]

Buy : https://www.beatport.com/release/technical-progress-vol-13/4088065
Release Date : 2023-04-28

The latest release from Tash's Movement Recordings finds the label presenting a new installment of its 'Technical Progress' series. Conceptualized in 2010 these various artist showcases have grown into one of the underground's most critically acclaimed series, continually featuring some of electronic music's most talented newcomers. With the twelfth edition of the series landing in May of last year with resounding success, Movement Recordings now presents the much-anticipated thirteenth installment featuring exclusive material from (in order of appearance): Bobby Deep Kylian Lake, Rocio Portillo, Valley (AR), Karim Sar Sar, Lateral Shift, Notoir, Nas Horizon and George Harbas, Blac J and Wielki and Globaldancr.

The release begins with Bobby Deep returning to the label for the first time in over six years with his latest studio creation 'Crow'. Known for his timeless style, the Greek artist crafts a profound mood setting piece with dark stabs, groovy basslines, shuffling percussion, and a soulful vocal which ultimately drives a strong emotional narrative throughout. Making his label debut with the second selection is Brazilian artist Kylian Lake. Known for finding a cohesive balance between progressive and melodic house and techno, Kylian's 'Light Side' leans towards the former with it's emotive synth phrasing and chunky, progressive minded grooves. Moving forward, selection three welcomes Rocio Portillo, Valley (AR) and Karim Sar Sar to the label with 'Dark Passenger'. Hailing from Argentina, this trio of rising artists made a memorable impression with their first collaborative effort in 2022 via 3rd Avenue. Continuing to build on that creative synergy with 'Dark Passenger', the trio crafts a spacious progressive builder which eventually reveals strong rhythmic qualities, haunting vocals and a tough yet groovy finale. Fresh off releases for onedotsixtwo and Spring Tube is Lateral Shift who makes his label debut with 'Landslide'. The Australian artist brings a smooth effortless approach to his brand of progressive music, as evidenced by the textural qualities, emerging atmospheres and astral sonics of 'Landslide'.

► Release Info:

Micheal and Levan and Stiven Rivic return once more to homebase for an exciting new release with remix support from Circulation and Noel Sanger. The trio set up Kunai back in 2013 as a place to release their own productions with some their close friends. A safe space of collaboration and creativity away from the cut and thrust of the industry, and their latest release 'Never' is a prime example. In original form, its elegant lines and uplifting vibe is the kind of track that saw them take the progressive house scene by storm landing them signings on Balance, JOOF and Mistique Music. Soaring pads and emotive adlibs abound on 'Never' which twinkles with delicate arps and squelchy sonics. On remix duties, a revitalised Circulation hit the ground running in 2021 after a short hiatus, quickly breaking new ground with releases on Bedrock, Selador and their own Recurculate. Here they darken the mood with a deep reese-led vibe that figuratively hugs the edge of the dance floor, while celebrated artist Noel Sanger adds his unique deep trance flavour to 'Never' taking it into warm up territory.

Earlier this year Sean and Amber aka Kakura made their Manual Music debut by releasing the well received single 'Witcher' / 'Vermillion' and now they are back with another excellent double A-sider.

'Dakha' is the opening track, a tribal infused intense melodic track with a clear warehouse / modern day rave vibe. 'Kalimba' continues on the same path, full of tribal rhythms and roaring synths. These guys truly have a unique timeless sound which isn't easy to pigeonhole.

First up on remix duties it's Lex Ludlow known for her output on Atomnation and her own BØXBØX imprint. She's the perfect addition to this single because she's also wary of trends and clichés. Her interpretation of Dakha is just pure deep underground electronic music as it should be.

The release ends on a positive note with Amir Telem's uplifting remix. Created around a warm synth theme, this melodic tension builder gets you right in the mood for an Indian summer.

At the heart of the Awesome Soundwave project is a dedication to live and innovative music and their latest body of work lives up to that perfectly. 

Master of his craft Stimming showcases an all hardware LP that goes by the name of - “Elderberry”. Experience distinct atmospheres from beginning to end as Stimming steers you on a journey of ethereal techno, melding genres as he moves blissfully between the ten tracks. The beautiful long play will land on the 29th of September ready to be added to your collection. 

For this enriched album Stimming decided to take a new approach to his production utilising hardware only embracing the challenges that it comes with but simultaneously the never ending outcomes as a musician. When stepping out of the box amazing things happen and Stimming tries to elevate this inspiration and funnel that into the “Elderberry” exploration, using machines such as blackbox/bluebox, intech controller, DOCtron IMC and various other gera throughout the tracks. Minimal editing was made on a computer at the end to condense arrangements. 

Musically Stimming never shies away from depth and emotion, and manages to capture moments with each and every movement, something that can be found here in the likes of “Morgentau” and “Golden Tree”, the charming drive of tracks such as “The Seeker” or the raw and organic energy of “People Do” and “She Hates That Chord”. There is a sense of purity throughout.  

A match made in heaven as Awesome Soundwave and Stimming meet, both aspiring to deliver timeless music and fresh and original ways and “Elderberry” is just that, embodying the ethos of both the label and artist. A first time collaboration, but hopefully not the last! 

“My goal was to chase the energy that appears when playing around with hardware only, in contrast to 'designing' a track in the box, which, after so many years, I found myself to be tired of, the immediacy and playfulness from a hardware-only techno livejam is a different type of energy. It's not as precise and on-point like the "riser, noise and drop" mechanics but has more of a long-term, evolving energy that is aimed at listeners and dancers that understand techno more as a journey instead of a "closely guided freak out" - Stimming
