Remix I produced for @tomsetinmotion / @temperamentalclubsound

"Looking at the state of affairs, the title of Tom’s debut EP Not A Bright Future will certainly resonate with a lot of listeners. Albeit the pessimistic outlook, we are witnessing the emergence of an exciting new talent on the horizon. Tom’s year-long involvement within the electronic music scene – be it as a DJ, curator or host of the renowned Tech Talk events, materializes into an iridescent sound palette: from bittersweet arpeggios, to mind-melting, dubby bass patterns, to melancholy-inducing acid synths, his work aims to capture the many moods and shifts on your typical night out. On the flip, Sarah Farina retreats the opening track ‘Dressed to Kill (feat. Enya EI)’, creating a sonic scenery simultaneously situated on 90s UK field raves and contemporary dancefloors. Navigating between time and space, the message of the EP converts into a subtle optimism: When the future doesn’t look bright, embracing the presence becomes imperative." - by @ferrarirot

Tom - Dressed to Kill (Sarah Farina Remix)

The imprint from Turin celebrates its second birthday with Flex003, a compilation featuring ten tools from new, up-and-coming and established artists from around the globe.

Ranging from 90 to 160+ BPM, the release encompasses multiple aspects of experimental club music such as dancehall, drum’n’bass, leftfield techno and broken beats sounds.

The compilation kicks off with a bass post-club experiment of ‘Gain XP’ from Bladeblanc, which leads to the combination of broken beats and atmospherical sound design of ‘Wonder’ from AYLN. Follows ’East Wing Oslo House’, the new techno-adjacent-mutant-club contribution from Ikävä Pii, and ‘Scamming’ from Lighght with its psychedelic vocals and pitch-shifting percussions. To close off the first side of the album we find the leftfield techno of Alec Pace’s ‘Ghost Money’ with its syncopated bass and mysterious vocals. Opening the second half the compilation is Honeydrip with her new work ‘Wake the Phone’, characterised by a bouncing beat and a 90's feel, followed by ‘Sentimento’, the quirky and hypnotic interlude signed by BLCKEBY. Hassan Abou Alam then brings the listener into a distant world with his glitchy robotic tool titled ‘Freeze’. The BPM then shifts up for an explosive ending where club-driven percussive rhythmics blends with d’n’b excursions in ‘Day After the Last Day’ from Diessa and ‘Rek’ from NORA DRUM.

Flex003 is available on all platforms starting from Friday 3rd June 2022.

This very day, exactly 100 years ago, the great musician and drummer Max Roach landed on earth. Today, in a serendipitous alignment of time, we decided so to give light to a project that’s been quietly brewing.

This track, built on some late 70s compositions by him and and another master like Anthony Braxton, is the first hook to all the ideas and to what is to come.

HYPNA - ARTERIA - Out On Maloca https://hypnamusic.bandcamp.com/album/arteria

Brussels-based producer Hypna lands on Maloca Records for Arteria. Known for his versatile output of sci-fi influenced club music on labels including Boxed, Insert and his own imprint Plasma Sources, Arteria marks Hypna’s first EP via Maloca, and a radical take on his established sound. 

Each of the 7 tracks on Arteria shifts Hypna’s hard-hitting and percussion-focused palette down into the chugging regions of 90-100BPM, where the artist explores his dancehall and southern-rap influences. This tempo range fascinates Hypna, regarding it as “a portal where so many different genres and energies meet allowing you to quickly shift from something slow and head bopping to a total different pace”. The resulting EP is a 7-track, club-scorching ride through Neptunes and Timbaland-tinged rap beats and slamming dancehall rhythms, all backed up by Hypna’s laser-fuelled percussion and rolling walls of sub-bass energy. 

Hypna also brings vocalists into the fold for the first time, with Jamaican dancehall royalty Warrior Queen on ‘Rollin Deep’ and up-and-coming Florida rapper Milli Bucks on ‘Big Bags’ helping to ground the EP in the rap beat influences the artist has injected into Arteria.

HYPNA - TRACER

[SSS005] Berwick - Trespassing on the Barnd / Where Are You? (CLIPS)

Entering NHS territories we have SHALT of London origin, Amsterdam-based, manager of his own fresh imprint REMADE and whose works have featured alongside Atrice; duo who have contributed to the NHS universe previously with their 'Accumulation Zone' EP. His offering and debut on the Label is a blistering set of transmogrified aspects of electro, techno, UK Funky and leftfield, UK-oriented bass into abrasive, molten-like tracks that play on the fault line of mechanical and natural through rigid, tight rhythm and granular, time stretched and downright sinister sonics.

Our artist reflects on the EP's title 'Mistral', it's namesake being reference to a wind path that runs through Southern Europe, acting as a folkloric and simultaneously scientific form of purification for the terrain that it flows through. The aural quality of the release, a pairing of rigidity and organic flowing freedom, is personified acutely through this with clear intention; audio sweeps and rumbles steadily, shifting into flutters and jitters, much like the haphazard elegancy of wind as it moves where it likes.

Equally, this sense of science and modernity that is evident through the use of digital technology is inadvertently juxtaposed against the ancient forms of geological understanding evident through folklore and druidry; SHALT feels they have used this as a means to invite the diminishing world of the ancients to cavort with the new world.
