yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Tamil artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer’s catalogue as yet.

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.

Significant Other - Cellar One

This was a world in which money reigned supreme. One might be able to exchange and buy to the hearts content – for what else was there but for the very status of fancy goods and material things? This was planet market – a world in which life came second to the idea of purchase.

The clouds were thick and moody overhead, reminiscent of the sentiment and world which existed down below. Sellers shouted, hustlers moved fast and those out for a quick steal had to be speedy in the midst of the chaos. There were no rules on planet market – it was simply a battle to the top by any means necessary.

What was the price?

NIQH takes us on a futuristic trip. This latest record on Plasma Sources draws upon influence from science fiction and features a style of world building and ambient construction which is intriguing and highly listenable.

Familiar Rift

PREMIERE: NIQH - Planet Market [Plasma Sources]

The first release from Markham Road comes in the form of a VA spined by frequent collaborators of its sister platform Infame Radio (@infameradio).

The nine tracks vary along a scale of percussive rhythms both relating to established and experimental ideas. As a trial in itself, this project took shape through exponential conversations between all those creatively involved.

"After releasing my album this year, I’ve been exploring experimental sounds using modular and vocals. When Dani approached me to be a part of this release alongside other incredible artists, I was eager to contribute an energetic club track. I’ve had the bassline and vocal idea in my mind for some time now and I set out to bring it to life using my arsenal of grooveboxes, modular synths, analog effects and a mixer. It took me few sessions to fine-tune the balances and dynamics, as I was determined to create a track that could be pitched, allowing people to choose their desired tempo." — Warzou

Émergeant de la florissante scène Strasbourgeoise, Beatrice M. débarque sur Egregore Collective avec son dubstep technoïde comme iel le décrit si bien.

Tout juste après une excellente sortie sur Krakzh et au milieu d’une année qui l’a vu.e lancer son label Bait et être invité.e sur pléthore de line-ups dans tous les coins de la France, Beatrice rejoint le roster avec quatre morceaux délicieusement vaporeux à la production méticuleuseme, explorant les hybridations hypnotiques entre techno et dubstep, sans pour autant se cantonner au fameux 140 bpm.

Et pour une expérience encore plus méditative, Maquis Son Sistèm vous emmène dans le vortex avec un remix tortueux de 9 minutes d’un des titres.


🇬🇧

Emerging from the flourishing Strabourg scene, Beatrice M. is up next on Egregore Collective, providing us with their now trademark hypnotic, techno infused dubstep beats.

Hot off the heels of a splendid release on Krakzh and it the midst of a year that saw them take the french underground scene by storm, launching their label Bait and playing in every corner of France, Beatrice joins the roster with 4 deliciously vaporous, meticulously crafted tracks bridging the gap between techno and dubstep, not sticking to the sempiternal 140 bpm and pushing the spectrum in all directions.

And for more bass meditation, Toulouse’s Maquis Son Sistèm will be taking you down the rabbit hole for a 9 minute brain-twisting remix of one of the tunes.

With a sophisticated fusion of minimal bass, atmospheric and UK-style techno, dub and dancehall, each of the five tracks develops its own ecosystem, distorted by alterations of reality as if on psychedelics.

Delving into the concept of a sound infrastructure, the artist lays its foundation in the earth as the primary element. An intangible low-end drifts over the surface of the sound, unceasingly creating an intense, enveloping atmosphere reminiscent of tectonic shifts. Above, organic textures manipulated by cutting-edge sound design techniques and clever re-sampling work neatly share the remaining sonic environment.

Seta Loto's creations resonate with a spiritual essence, evoking an intimate relationship with the wonders of nature and rootedness to the earth.
