Following on from a release-packed 2021, Infinite Machine are back with a new 4-track offering from the relative newcomer, Aroent. Across 3 new original cuts (plus a rework by UK dance royalty, Ploy) the Berlin-based producer delivers some serious rollers crammed full of gnarly drumwork and a pervasive air of unease. Like the strange, abstract creature of the record artwork, the music of Say EP is an amorphous beast, mixing the dense arrangements/layering of 90s IDM records with the off-kilter and swung beats of UK Techno and Funky.

The EP opens with its title track; a whirl of snaps, claps and phantom samples all firmly underpinned by an acid-inflected bassline. Aroent embracing of chance and luck in his compositions is evident on this track, throwing in idiosyncratic automations and randomizers to grow and evolve the tune over its 5 minute duration. The vox samples (stolen from Breaking Bad) seem to decay and fall inwards on each other on ‘Say’, as if the song is soundtrack to a decaying and corrupted society (not dissimilar to Heisenberg’s).

On ‘Rolling Oddities’, Aroent’s love for the Bristol bass & techno scene really shines through clearly. A track that seems almost built for a spinny night that rolls on until the morning, the song really does what it says on the tin with its combination of driving, rhythmic elements and it’s smattering of pretty out-there decisions in terms of arrangement and sound processing. This is a definite must-listen tune for fans of Batu, Lurka or Hodge.

Next up, ‘Bobcat’ takes things in a slightly more buoyant and ecstatic direction with its ever-rising filters and muted percussion that seems like it’s dancing along on tip-toes. On this song especially, Aroent’s genre-agnostic approach to production is abundantly obvious with elements of techno and bass sitting alongside kick drums that wouldn’t feel out of place on some Jersey Club tracks.

Ploy brings up the rear on Say EP with a ferocious ‘Skeletal Tool remix’ of the releases’ title track. Taking a reductionist approach to his rework, the Timedance signee strips out some of the originals’ more hyperbolic or dramatic elements and reduces it to a polyrhythmic, semi-genreless heater. Seriously - you try and pin this edit down to a single ‘genre label’, I dare you!

Despite the small number of releases to his name, Say EP is a highly confident and well-realized offering from the Greek-born, Berlin-based producer. In a way, Aroent is already creating his own sonic signature that lifts and interpolates aspects across the UK Bass spectrum and turns it into something totally unique. This is music that lurks in the shadows of warehouse clubs.

Tracklist:

1. Say
2. Rolling Oddities
3. Bobcat
4. Say (Ploy's Skeletal Tool Remix)

Aroent - Say (IM096)

Pre-order: https://nicknoexit.bandcamp.com/album/xtasis

It's hot, summer is here, Latin tribal techno is arriving, and papi @nickleon knows it. 'Xtasis' is the title of the EP and it's also the banger that contains impure euphoria, one that is detonated in complicity with the raptor house maestro, Venezuela's finest, DJ Babatr. Meanwhile, 'Grito' is a scandal. It's the call that demands for a rhythm that was looked down upon, but now is his time and this rhythm is driven into the future. The collision of guaracha with edgy sound design is here to stay by the hand of the Miami-based producer.

And well, as if that wasn't enough, the Hessle Audio Mainstay, Pearson Sound, arrives to deliver even more Xtasis, to enhance a track that has been creating a burst of joy at festivals and dance floors around the world, with the astuteness, precision, and elegance that only David can do. Finally, NY virtuoso @drjeep reinterprets 'Grito' with a hyper-active, sizzling and delicious approach that blends perreo and d'n'b with his sharp trademark. blablabla whatever… XTC para todxs, XTC for all.

PREMIERE: Pura Pura & Hyas - Duel Link (Cane Corso Records)

Insistent, full-throttle torque as @toma-kami revives his ‘Speed Oddity’ series. 

A second instalment sees the Parisian revisit a blueprint where hybridity takes prominence. Tensile, hi-NRG club pressure for the duration.

Our premiere comes complete with an assist from @wajang co-founder @amorsatyr. Having masterminded the ‘Speed Dembow’ series with labelmate Sui Mata, he and Kami augment 'Djédjé' with tribalistic, free party propulsion.

‘Speed Oddity vol. II’ is out February 17th on Man Band.

Balas means bullets. They are 32. They come directly from the Chilean prodigy to you. Tomás Urquieta, the artist now based in NY, after his EPs via Insurgentes, now makes his proper debut in TraTraTrax. We enter into the new year with two pounding, thick and sharp cuts, now a trademark of Tomi's design. Club-ready and deconstructed club (also ready) certified bangs.

This time, the remixes are a little over the top: Rhyw delivers a version that dribbles and wiggles into enriched ballistic percussions. re:ni distils “vaya pues" with ace Grime compatible Breakbeat. Finally, we couldn't wait any longer to bring to the label the summa cum laude speed dembow from Siu Mata and Amor Satyr.

Date: 19/04/2024

According to the situation, there are times when you must rely on a person for something or other. If this is done repeatedly, it becomes a matter of importuning that person and can be rather rude. If there is something that must be done, it is better not to rely on others. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo - Hagakure: Book Of The Samurai)
