The tracks on this release explore turbulence and desolation: mental, physiological, spiritual. They survey aftermaths, eulogising lost bliss and tattered memories. ‘Immaculate’ is a slow-motion shudder, the deeply held steadying breath that precedes numbness. It’s free-flowing and fluid, an ebb and flow of luminous shards and flickering embers reflected in pitch-black water. ‘The Bloody Entrails’ sears like an ice burn. The piece’s intermeshing string passages produce a haunted, shellshocked texture evoking darkening eyes and quivering hands. This is damaged music, shadowy and uneasy—a slow-dawning awareness of error and consequence. Alive but fractured, conscious but sullied.

Varg - Red Line II (127 Sätra C) with Yung Lean

In an era of Abondance, of the wrong leaders, and mass-producing for profit, this name showed how Techno can be innovative, designing a furrow in the mind of people, and move the generations forward. ARTSCORE is the power-core of the label, and I Hate Models Set the bars of the innovation once again with Totsuka No Tsurugi.

B1. Heartbreaker

A1. Eternal Loneliness

Track from NE58 Varg – Sky City: A Weak Heart to Break (Spit)
Out on vinyl and digital May 3rd.

Part curse, part declaration, part Rorschach test, Varg's new collection of EPs is a barely balanced inferno. Side by side, raw club burners arrive from the wretched plateaus levelled out by chaotic neurotransmissions, while sweet and soft anthems take the pain away.

The first EP, Sky City: Even in the Heart of Heaven, Angels Can Still Feel Fear, affirms Varg's deft and agile take on techno. Here minimalism spars with blissed out programming, unafraid to pepper sedate hooks with intricate percussive rufige. With each track's eyes on the raving kru, Varg restates his permit to take it to the floor. It's foreboding, but it always has been—and Sky City: A Weak Heart to Break (Spit) makes this its method. Launching itself under the opening track's dazzling melancholic sweep, the EP loses its way in every direction at once by the last track's glitching gabber meltdown. Fair warning is required for the demonic and cosmically unhinged piece of rhythmic noise that begins the second side.

INTRO

Russia's angelwave princess Polina Zhukova AKA ccontrary stepping up with a dreamy LP for ПИР that follows her excellent mixes on NTS and Rinse and an EP on Los Angeles' TAR label.

"ADHD" was inspired not by the disorder as such but rather by childhood in general, growing up as a concept. And the music here has just the right amount of that naivety; it's atmospheric and nostalgia-inducing. There's a firm nod to early 90s chillout, as well as contemporary trance mutations, Shanghai scene, conceptronica, and even dusty 2-step flex that brings Burial to mind.

This is a concise and strong gesture from a young artista coming into her own. See you in post-COVID chillout rooms and at those Minecraft raves that we'll surely see more of.
