Dorian Gray - Psychic Wave

Colin Benders - Rigmarole 
Digital & physical release 
Out on HIss & Hertz Records 
Release date: Dec 17 2021

Following in the footsteps of his vinyl-only debut EP, “Floaty Things”, electronics transcender and modular warlock Colin Benders clocks in on Hiss & Hertz with “Rigmarole”, a five-track odyssey ushering us amidst mazes of intricately woven improvisations, hectic rhythmic landslides and mood-enslaved machine talk. 

Recorded during lockdown, like its predecessor, the album pledges to showcase the darker side of Benders’ live streams turned archival recordings, whilst shedding a broader light on his breadth of scope as a spur-of-the-moment conductor of highly demanding, circuit-bending symphonies of sorts. 

A shape-shifting flow of unpredictable essence, flush with climactic flights, untamed divagations and further mind-expanding excursions into chaotic sound expanses, “Rigmarole” is the fruit of a philosophy and particular relationship with his steadily growing online audience, with whom he’s come to go full circle; from sharing his knowledge and approach towards modular expression in open-ended, non-formulaic fashion, onto stamping the result of his jamming sessions on black wax thanks to the continued support of his community. Comprised of five live-recorded joints spanning the widest array of styles, tempi and moods, “Rigmarole” is a magnetic field where Benders’ sound blooms in all its alchemical potency and spontaneous finesse.
 
Via extended windows into his ever-resourceful headspace, Benders threads his way across brooding ambient scapes, sci-fi-indebted spaciousness and metronomic minimalism (“This Is Fine”), hi-octane, tribal-laced industrialism on a droney tip (“Wait”), stadium-sized arpeggiated techno (“What’s That Noise”), gritty basement thunder down your spine (“I Can’t Feel My Legs”) and wide-screen, cosmic-friendly exploratory wares (“Carry Me”) - somehow shaping a cohesive ensemble of music out of his all-embracing investigations in the realm of modular potentialities and live-told inspiration. Keeping you on the edge throughout, “Rigmarole” will be written down as a defining moment for Benders, an unpigeonholeable artist in constant search for the next thrill.

OUT: November 25th 

A new 12 track compilation placing some of the greatest emerging names amongst some of the world’s most established underground producers and selectors together on one compilation.

To launch the compilation we are debuting ‘Outer Space’ - a brand new track from Italian producer Adiel.

Just under five minutes of bubbling, analog-infused techno, ‘Outer Space’ is just as beguiling and wondrous as its name suggests. A steady build of uplifting arpeggios and spacious pads, ‘Outer Space’ brings a wide-eyed sense of joy to the techno space; a transcendent work of sustain and release electronic music that inspires euphoria both communally on the dancefloor or alone within headphones.

fabric Selects features names such as Bambounou, Air Max ‘97, DJ Mell G, Manni Dee and more completing a cross section of the contemporary sound of dance music with each producer marking their own stamp on the compilation.

This is not only a celebration of our first year as an imprint, but a celebration of the genre-defining talents that can be found at our club and across the globe, proving beyond all doubt that electronic music in all guises is thriving more than ever before.

Here is the recording of my set I played at Monarch party in Paris on 10th February.
Full tracklist is in my IG feed 💎

Camila Rodhes @Monarch - Paris 10.02.23

“Kotti Island Disc” is a collaborative concept album which provides a foundation for the overall project “Kotti Island”, a multimedia exhibition at Kottbusser Tor in Berlin in January 2023. In collaboration with ten artists, various conceptual tracks were produced that are inspired by Kottbusser Tor. The multifaceted environment of “Kotti”, as it is locally known, offers an ideal surface upon which to play with and emphasize auditory details that can stimulate the way we imagine what this place means.

This exploration of Kottbusser Tor began with a series of field recordings made by the musician Cecilia Tosh, who is also the artistic director of “Kotti Island”. These field recordings, which create space in between extremes, form the basis of the album. They are collected snapshots, some of which have been sonically 
de-contextualised, while others directly reproduce what was recorded—sometimes interpreting, sometimes documenting. The result is a sample pack composed of ambient recordings (which have been barely edited), edited recordings (which have been re-worked), shorter loops (percussive to melodic elements and basses) and vocalists (newspaper articles, online reports, Wikipedia entries and the artist’s own texts).

The composition of each track was preceded by a meeting with Cecilia Tosh at Kottbusser Tor, where the space was analysed in both auditory and visual terms and the atmosphere was absorbed. Afterwards, each participating artist received an individual sample pack with the field recordings as well as video clips depicting everyday situations at Kottbusser Tor made by Juma Hamdo and Jaś Miszewski. While the sample pack was meant as an inspiration, each artist was also required to use at least one element from it when composing.

“Kotti Island Disc” includes ten musical interpretations that show Kotti as a diverse and lively place. The project is intended as an artistic snapshot of a place in a constant state of flux. It is, furthermore, an invitation to participate in an auditory journey through Kottbusser Tor accompanied by ten very different artists.

PARTICIPANTS
Zettka, Ray Kajioka, Cecilia Tosh, Philipp Gorbachev, Jon Hester, Sofie Superflyin Jackson, .VRIL, Kat Davids, Rocko Garoni, Solid Traveller

Arts Gallery was born from the collaboration of two very talented minds. Asmar & Gëinst 2x12” package is unique. each of the two artists presents themselves in their own space. this space is also shared in another bigger territory. Arts Gallery. Alchemy is a kind of philosophy: a kind of thinking that leads to a way of understanding. This Duchamp quote describes really well this record.

This project has the aim to hopefully revolutionalize the way the records in techno are seen, is a unique approach to music, and the way the music is presented, a bit like a shooting star, our goal is to reach the conscious of the user and let him have more options than only 4 as in a classic 12" record, we aim to open the frontier of " one single artist x record" and let yourself immerse into this amazing combination of Art and Music in only one single record, with 2 Artists, and not anymore a single one or VA. We want to dare where others never even though, is a heavy and responsible idea, we hope that this will give something important to you, as this did for us. 
Arts Gallery 001 is based on Asmar / GËINST ,The ultimate Alchemy.

This is only the preview of 2 records out of 8. You can pre-order the record here:
