He didn't give much away, his mouth said one thing and his eyes another. She couldn't work out if this was just in his character or if he just had no interest in communicating with her; either way it intrigued her to no end, she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Rather than deter her, his dark eyes and his icy stare drew her further in. There was something behind it, a story that needed to be told, and she wanted to be the one to hear it...

Hard at work since 2008, Egyptian producer Hassan Abou Alam has shared his musical fruits with the world via labels like Rhythm Section, Naive and Banoffee Pies, which explore and blur the borders between breakbeat, techno and bass. For his next outing, he lands on Rinse resident Roni's Nehza Records with a new four-track EP called Ice, that once again showcases his versatility as a producer. Crafted using a mixture of analog and digital gear, the resulting tracks are packed full of textural sounds, meticulous drum work, fx saturated vocals and squelchy bass.

Artist: Delta Division
Title: Incursion
Label: Fear Of Silence
CAT No: FOS003
Release Date: 12th December 2024

In a bold move to redefine his musical journey, Giordano, is stepping into a new dimension as Delta Division.

This transition is not just a change of name; it represents a focused commitment to exploring the intricate landscapes of IDM and bass music, allowing him to push creative boundaries further than ever. The decision to adopt the Delta Division alias was motivated by a desire to step away from the confines of his previous techno oriented sound. Giordano sought to create a platform where he could delve deeper into the melodic complexities and rhythmic intricacies that characterize IDM and bass music.

This new direction aims to provide listeners with a multi-layered musical experience, immersing them in an audio environment that is both innovative and emotionally resonant. The concept behind Delta Division reflects the notion of intersecting musical worlds—where melody meets rhythm, and bass blends with ethereal soundscapes. "Delta" signifies change and transformation, while "Division" embodies the exploration of distinct yet interconnected sonic realms.

This new artistic identity allows Giordano to navigate through various styles, merging influences while crafting a unique sound that stands apart in the electronic music scene. Delta Division's debut EP, "Incursion," is set to release on December 12th, 2024, under his new record label, Fear Of Silence. The EP features four compelling tracks: "Incursion," "Indecisions," "Identity," and "Imagination," each showcasing a captivating blend of bass-driven rhythms and detailed melodic patterns

The Division is Back.

A polymathic affair spanning the broadest musical bandwidth, French outlet Lowlife Cartel resurface with ‘Vuota Beatitudine’ - a fresh 8-track VA extrapolating their eclectic approach to contagious effect. 

Draped in surreally murky cover art courtesy of Paris-based artist Léa Bouton alias Absolemabsoluxe / graphic design by Metaphore Collectif affiliate Nicolas Guillerminet, this new release features contributors from distinct mental and geographical regions alike: American chopped-and-screwed shock outfit HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH, a hi-tech DnB / raging electro crossover from Mexican producer Jegsaha, BFDM & Tresor alum Jean Redondo on duty, junglistic jazz stunts by Chicago’s KSETDEX, German ambient voodooist Lorica, spectral post-indus from PRESENTE, Italian vibist Alec Pace up with a ragga-informed vengeance and Memphis-via-Mexico style slowed-’n-throwed madness from MVRKMVCHINX. 

Lovers of Southern lo-fi rap narratives will find in both HERNVNDEZ ft. MXSTVH 'Artes Oscuras' and MVRKMVCHINX ‘Shutter' the kind of lo-slung gangsta heat to wake up both grillz-teethed zombies and have these gold-felloed Cadillacs’ afterburners flaring. Hailing from the Mexican capital city, Jegsaha fires off a barrage of breaks-laden fire, processed vox menace and frantic bass onslaughts that go straight for the jugular. Fragmenting the groove down to molecular abstraction, Redondo treats us to a mischievous hybrid of ghetto-tech’y jack and discombobulated post-pop experiment with ‘You!’, whereas US producer KSETDEX welds a smokey jazz piano onto a muscular UK bass chassis on the addictive ‘Gemini’. 

Flip it over and there’s Frankfurt-based producer Lorica dishing out a hypnotic slice of atmospheric electronics, both immersively brooding and unimpeachably uplifting in equal measure. ‘Vuota Beatitudine’, the track that gives its title to the EP, works a distinctively paradoxical strain of rattling floor rhythms and zero-G escapology, in limbo betwixt heaven and hell. Conjuring up an infectious palette of ragga-infused maneuvers and packing massive bass and snare-heavy punch, Alec Pace’s fiery ‘Mantra Separation’ is prototypical dancehall arson rolled into a steely techno membrane. A wide-ranging display of explosively diverse, satisfyingly weird sounds to keep minds and bodies on the edge.
