"We Control Matter Because We Control The Mind" George Orwell

In this uncertain world of post-truths and state actors how much of our 'reality' is controlled? With misinformation spread like wildfire, multiple realities presented by those with vested interests, and increasing use of AI technologies, where do we turn our trust for a true reality in the digital age?

'Controlled Reality' opens a new VA trilogy series for Codename: RCRDS, with several returning artists alongside a number of debutants on the label for a darker, brooding opener to the series.

The EP commences with Stringnet's brooding sci-fi epic 'The Stessa', where deep strings give way to snappy breaks and neuro style synths, marking an intriguing first instalment from this fresh talent. Codename regular Trident contributes the introspective roller 'Block IV', taking us to an unknown location far away from prying eyes, before NonRev wisely encourages us to 'Leave The City Behind' with his trademark driving grooves and deep atmospheric tones. TRC2 closes the EP with the paranoid techstepper 'The Few Left', full of warped basses and ominous alarms.

CODERCRDS029 - Controlled Reality (Out 13/09/24)

https://codenamercrds.bandcamp.com/album/controlled-desires-ep

"We Control Matter Because We Control The Mind" George Orwell

In this uncertain world where we are prepared to give up so much of ourselves personally into data harvesting and targeted adverts, is this driving our impulse buys and pushing us to swipe right, or our we in command? How much of our 'desires' are real, and how much are we controlled? In this peak consumerist culture, is what we desire really genuine, or are malign forces driving us ever further towards their goals?

'Controlled Desires' continues a new VA trilogy series for Codename: RCRDS, with several newcomers joining the party for part II.

The EP commences with the hardest working man in mastering, Nurve, bringing the heat with 'Faded Glamour', a tearing dancefloor banger which should find homes in plenty of sets. Ahead of his first full release on the label, Indigo Virus delivers an epic slice of hazy jungle with 'Things Change', before Data B ably demonstrates his beat swordmanship with the dark rolling shaolin number 'Rumble'. The EP draws to a close with another debutant, Joey Del Toro slamming into focus with the amen tearer 'Play That'.

After a lengthy break, Flipper returns to Codename with his first full length EP for the label, which perfectly demonstrates this incredible artist's unique and flowing multi-instrumental fusion of ethnic vibes with jungle and Drum and Bass rhythms.

Constantly evolving opener ΙΩPOLIS brings you mythical Eastern Mediterranean soundscapes, fusing ancient instruments such as the duduk and santur. Five minutes of non-repetitive electronic music that will captivate and enchant any dance floor.

'Jungle Takes You' drives things into a different direction with its darkcore / junglism influences alongside hypnotic leads, deep strings, rolling breaks and immersive vocals which take you deep into untouched territories.

The second half of the EP looks towards remixes, with Flipper's remix of Toni Bassi's 'Junak' seamlessly adding Greek flavours to the existing Indian mix, before Moakz contributes the melancholic 'Breaking Your System' remix of Flippers 'Don't Blame', a full tailspin of a rework, both evoking memories of classic era 90's hardcore and also packed with emotional punch.
