To relaunch his seminal imprint, Infrastructure New York, Function presents his new 12", Green EP. Celebrating 27 years of Function releases this year and the label’s 25th anniversary, the label will serve as an outlet for his new material, reissues of out of print classics from Synewave, Sandwell District and Ostgut Ton (and of course, Infrastructure), as well as developing new artists and launching a long awaited Bandcamp page - exploring the annals of nearly 30 years of the Function sound. No doubt fans will be excited.
As a member of the Sandwell District collective, David Sumner aka Function, from 2007 onward was instrumental in cultivating and ushering in a new sound of dark, cerebral hypnotica - forcing the hand of change in global techno. Green EP serves as a testament to this, further exploring these depths. The EP pays homage to the day when David arrived in Berlin with his green suitcase where his record “Isolation” on Sandwell District was released, hitting the ground running and springboarding into an incredibly successful career, becoming a stalwart DJ/producer, after years as a struggling artist.

Green EP encapsulates the same raw power and hypnotic energy of his genre defining Sandwell District releases Isolation, Anticipation and Variance, updated with a modern flair. Subject f (Function) has clearly transcended, as expressed through the opening track “Initiation” arriving at his “New Designation”. On the b-side Function communicates his divine alignment through the broken beat, etheric “Aeternum (Meridian)”. Finally, Function closes Green EP with a live extraction of “Desire and Memory”, a brooding club stormer in contrast to the more experimental leanings of the original version, which appeared on Rrose’s label Eaux. One thing is clear: Function is back on track and more on form than ever!

Kontinum - Paternoster EP (KNTM003)

‘Passerella I’ marks @distant_echoes return to Counterchange after his appearance on ‘Stream State’ (COUNTER014) and the ‘Reminiscenze’ EP (COUNTER017).

The first in a two-part release, ‘Passerella I’ finds the long-standing Italian producer gracefully fluctuating between spacial electronica, krautrock-leaning synthesis, bass-heavy dubs and hypnotising modernist techno.

Some of the artist’s most diverse sonic outings to date, ‘Paserella’ is a perfect addition to the label catalog - once again patching together the worlds of techno and experimental, microtonal electronics.

Press Release:
It is our absolute pleasure to announce the first compilation on QEONE. This wonderful collection of tracks is really unique as all pieces are based on one concept which is completely sound design oriented. The idea behind this release series is to have one material or substance which will then be interpreted by the artists. For this very first compilation we chose the material Wood. In the end the artists will also reveal some specific techniques which they used for the production of each track to transform this project also into a skill sharing platform for followers to learn from and get inspired. It offers a great opportunity to get insight into various approaches to one topic. The artist duo Primal Code created a wonderful sonical piece ‚Adansonia‘ with rich harmonies and the wood as the percussion sounds which appear very watery at the same time. The overall aesthetic has a very glitchy character and catches the listener with its intriguing bassline. Dycide picked up the topic in a very groovy and dry way with his track ‚Tapio‘. The wood feels quite close to the ear and transports a warm feeling. You can clearly recognize the strong bass music influence of the artist, which makes this track really captivating. Cafe de la Jungle produced a minimal influenced dancefloor tool ‚QMMF‘ which has a crystal clear yet organic sound aesthetic. The high wooden textures and tones give this piece an amazing tension which sucks the listener right into it. On the other hand Saša Delimar created a very wooden and also bass influenced track ‚What if...‘. It paints a great picture enriched with lots of wood sounds in the percussion parts and complex textures. Polygonia presents a very dubby side in her production ‚iunua‘ using a captivating groove. Next to that the main element first appears to be one of the many wooden elements but then reveals itself as a synthesizer which modulates between various timbres. FTP Doctor created a wooden percussion texture nightmare called ‚Aaaah Naja‘ with intense vocals and some 808 like basslines which modulate the hell out of this groove. This piece really gets to the brain and makes dancefloors melt because of its fierce power. Mordio created a strong floor tool in his production ‚Ancient Grove‘. The driving character of this one gets even more impact through the two main elements, the wonderfully designed wooden stab and the textural intriguing main synthesizer. Michał Wolski‘s production ‚Where Have You Come From‘ touches the deepest side of things with his drony impulses and hypnotising vibes. He created all of the sounds using one little sample in which he recorded two wooden kitchen tools. The processing of it turned out so versatile that nobody would suppose that it is only featuring that one source sound. Kangding Ray produced a great dancefloor machine called ‚Ebeniste‘ with more than crispy sounding wooden drums and a crazy driving beat. The whole thing gets rounded up by a synth sequence which intensifies the impact on the body. Tenzia‘s track ‚Branches‘ tells a vibrant story with various chapters in its arrangement, highlighting the beautiful textures which wood has to offer.
