Techno

After a remix for Dadub on Stroboscopic’s Preternity release, Rrose checks in with a full solo release through Monad XVI. This is a record half machine, half beast, at times empathetic but continuously emphatic.
Opener ‘Onceless’ is a nine-minute coalescence of the aural narrative of Apocalypse Now. Running throughout is an incessant buzzing, more helicopter and plane than the label’s favourite bees. From this mechanical source emerges an eerie tribal drumming, slowly bringing the dissonance to a chilling conclusion.
‘The Stare’ begins as optimistically as ‘Onceless’ seemed pessimistic: a beautiful bass drum induces a whirring repeat. This repeat, however, begins to suffocate, absorbing the drum in a slide towards more mechanical disorientation. Paranoid hi-hat and insistent low ends are then introduced to close.
‘Kneeling’ is an amalgam of hi-end loops, the master sampler for a 1980s ‘computer sound’ film stock. The tone is brought back from the electronic precipice by a more verdant perspective in the middle minutes, but this cannot prevent the electronic whirring from passing into final track ‘Wet Silk Will’.
‘WSW’ has a greater jut than its predecessors, breathing and striding in a human form. Yet while it pursues this more human resolve, it certainly retains the EP’s signature pursuit of determined, electronic force.

Rrose 'Monad XVI' [SAM016]

This summer sees Barcelona-based label Anemone debut with 'Heliris', a three-track EP from vowelless newcomer DNGLS. The record's rising flourish is from Singaporean IDM-maestro Xhin (pronounced Sheen), and his macabre techno re-work of the EP's title track. This one's hard and gritty enough to send viscera burbling through your speakers.

RELEASE DATE: August 18th, 2014.

DNGLS 'Heliris (Xhin Remix)' - Boiler Room Debuts

Full stream of CD1 of the 'Slowly Exploding' compilations.

CD1 is 11 new tracks. CD2 is a 66 minute DJ mix by Perc. Released on 10th November on Perc Trax.

From Ben Thomas aka BNJMN comes an entirely new and different project, BRACK. Following a string of excellent releases for the likes of Rush Hour and Delsin, the Berlin-based British producer has launched his own imprint. Its inaugural release promises to simultaneously satisfy long-time listeners, and throw them for a loop.

BRACK 001 sees BNJMN venturing outside his digital domain for the first time, eschewing polished, computer-based constructions for an altogether dirtier, darker sound. He’s in raw, rare form on this EP, layering distorted samples, seething synths and coarse drum work to hypnotic effect. Nevertheless, the young producer’s deft hand and knack for trance-inducing grooves shine through the miasma. As with his best works, these tracks are alternately retro and forward-leaning, expansive and introspective, and completely singular. With his new label, we can expect the same characteristic combination of sounds and sensibilities. Step into the unique sonic world of BRACK 001.

"Eject" by Container

Do you know that feeling when you're at a really good party and the nights just swooshes by? All of the sudden you realize that it's a bright morning outside and you don't want it to end yet. And then the music stops and the lights turn on. This one goes out to all of you, who would sell their soul just for one more hour.

Bring the goddamn lights down and pump up the volume… bitch!

Returning to Truesoul, dubspeeka’s new EP is an outstanding piece of work that showcases his talents as a producer. Weaving through a dark brooding electronic landscape, dubspeeka’s EP brings together imaginative ideas and laces them with electronic beats to create something unique. Melodic lead lines transform this entire EP into something with a unique charm that only dubspeeka can conjure up.

Following the massive double pack compilation Eight Wigglin' Ways To Die, we return with the debut of a fresh artist, Faetch. Although a new name on the scene, Faetch's advanced take on harder edged techno is far from the work of a rookie it would seem. Four tearing club tracks here that contain all the ingredients needed to move the party into another dimension: firing rhythms, strange sampling, manic synth programming, unique sound design ... we could keep going. Faetch 1 is simply a corker and strong addition to the Earwiggle catalogue.

Deep Space Helsinki - 2nd June 2015: Tribute to Max

Nicole Moudaber is a name we are used to hearing on the radar as a Drumcode artist and she is showing us what she can do on the funkier side of the spectrum with her new EP now landing on Truesoul. Both tracks merge her signature techno sound into something that still contains stacks of class and character. The evolving sounds in both tracks build tension and energy to create after hour burners.

Nicole Moudaber - Somewhere In Our Minds - Truesoul - TRUE1261

So Umek decides to learn how to play piano. He buys a synthesizer from a local music store, hires a piano teacher and starts rehearsing. One note at the time, minors, majors, keys. Naturally, solfeggio is a piece of cake for him.
He plugs the synth into his computer and starts working on melodies. Out comes crap. He does it again. Crap again.

Fuck this shit! He goes through his sample banks and finds a perfect tune for An Estos.
Rome wasn't built in a day.

Randomer and L.I.E.S, back for another one: it makes a lot of sense. But "Juju" stands in contrast to the shrapnel 'n slime of our other L.I.E.S. Debut of 2015, or last year's crunching Residents. It's less an exercise in bucket-kicking techno weaponry, and closer to the complex yet oddly infectious sounds of early Bookworms or latter Shackleton.

The whole EP's a belter. Even a full seven years (seven!) into his career proper, Randomer's consistency has yet to taper off. Cop the next instalment soon: LIES063 sees release in September.

Please forgive the sound quality!! ..

this was recorded inside the club with a stereo mic recorder. The recording is at times a bit distorted and at times decent enough... but does capture the momentum of the mix and the atmosphere of the room especially the thunderous Berghain sound system

DEVELOPER @ BERGHAIN - BERLIN GERMANY

Stroboscopic Artefacts presents the Monad series. Rarefied and introspective, confrontational and extreme, each featured artist will delve into the Monad concept:
“The generation of number series is related to objects of geometry as well as cosmogony. From the Monad evolved the Dyad; from it numbers; from numbers, points; then lines, two-dimensional entities, three dimensional entities, bodies, culminating in the four elements earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of our world is built up.”
Tommy Four Seven’s Monad XIII is culled from the creased crevices of our fears and the depths of our desires. Speckled with references to gods of water and air, Sumerian mythology and long forgotten Roman citadels, what emerges is primal, powerful and expressed with utter precision. Pitched-down vocals mumble, broken beats saunter, and bass lines build urgently only to drop euphorically. Created with clarity and curiosity, it slants into your ear drum through the prism of the future as imagined by the past.
