Artist: Invexis
Title: Odyssey
Label: Mutual Rytm
Release: 23rd December 2022 
Cat No: MR008
Format: Vinyl & Digital

SHDW & Obscure Shape invite Invexis for his first 12” in almost 20 years as the German live act and producer returns to Mutual Rytm for his impactful EP, ‘Odyssey’.

With an ethos of merging the past with the present and future, harnessing classic techno influences and shaping them into the sounds of tomorrow, SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm imprint has become an exciting home for rising talents of note and established artists to shine a spotlight on the genre. 

However, the next release on the label welcomes a long-awaited return from Georg Köhler, aka Invexis. Known for releases such as ‘Kalibreur’ on Salpeter Records and ‘Chiffre’ on Planet Rhythm Records, with further releases via Compound and Kazumi, the German talent crafted and shaped his own sound within the techno landscape in the early 2000s. Returning with his first EP release in close to two decades, late December welcomes a return to Mutual Rytm, following on from the inclusion of his track ‘Elektronenwind’ on the label’s ‘Federation Of Rytm I’ release, as he delivers a selection of dynamic, melodic and driving techno offerings across ‘Odyssey’.

‘Silhouette’ opens the package with authority as spirited drums and spiralling synths take hold of a twisting and turning lead effort, with ‘Non Return To Zero’ building a spiralling groove via frantic yet measured percussion, sweeping melodies and funky stabs. ‘Red Storm’ opens the B-side with a more up-front production combining harsher metallic tones with relentless drive and crashing hats, while ‘Body Impulse’ utilises dubby stabs and eerie atmospherics to balance light and dark. The title track ‘Odyssey’ closes the vinyl offering, with a euphoric and rapturous production harnessing resonant chords, looping drum grooves and elated leads to bring things to an impressive crescendo and deliver a record that will remain in the ears of listeners for a long time.

As always with the label, digital purchasers are treated to an exclusive track as Köhler combines zig-zagging grooves, refined synths and off-kilter glitches and bleeps across digital exclusive ‘Transition’.
Invexis ‘Odyssey’ drops via Mutual Rytm on 23rd December 2022.

My contribution to the Valencia Flood Benefit VA from Sungate Records

https://sungaterec.bandcamp.com/album/healing-rays-valencia-fundraiser

https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsungaterec.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fhealing-rays-valencia-fundraiser&token=b88dc2-1-1731351064309

Sungate joins friends and family with a V.A in support of the victims of the storms in Valencia.

On October 28th, flash floods decimated the better part of the southern and western areas of Valencia, alongside many other points of Spain. What followed was a catastrophic event resulting in storm surges, collapsing bridges, thousands stuck on roads and streets, ultimately leading to a death toll that is now estimated over 200, and unfortunately, rising.

Homes, animal shelters, businesses and families have been destroyed by this catastrophe. An event that caught thousands out in the street, heading to and from school, work, and daily lives unalerted. Severe warnings only got to our phones 10 hours after, despite being warned by weather centers and flood prevention institutions for days.

With Sungate’s staff both residing and having ties to the city, we’ve decided to release “Healing Rays”, a compilation of 22 tracks by artists close to the label to gather funds to re-distribute to those most in need, buy essential products and help in the re-construction of a damaged region. We are joining a series of charitable releases from others in the city that has seen a wave of supporting press, and more importantly, an overwhelming amount of support.

We are infinitely thankful to Marco Spaventi for mastering this release and all the artists that have given their music away for the cause.

Adam Beyer - The Distance Between Us - Drumcode - DC329

Rooted in the underground mentality of the 90s, the whole thing is quite evocative, grabbing hold of a euphoric funk sound and transporting it into the 2020s with a modern, high-tempo pulse. In blending the raw, pumping energy of warehouse techno with the glimmer of disco cabaret, the Bay Area native takes a refreshing tangent on dancefloor tools which render themselves distinct from his contemporaries in the space.

Zero Idea describes Xpressions as a deeply personal journey— “each track, mood and sonic idea is a dance floor representation of significant life events that shaped my adult years”. The album lands as a maturation of both musical composition and personal character for the artist.

From the atmosphere building intro in “Foreword”, to the uptempo soul of “Seventh Heaven”, and the high voltage intensity of “Overload”, the album delivers a carefully contained and diligently paced listening experience, where the vivacity of the tracks is at no point overwhelming, and yet the energy never fails to deliver. Standout moments include title track “Xpression”, a relentless, straight-to-the-point tech-funk heater which perfectly showcases the Zero Idea ethos, as well as ‘Epiphany’ with its blissful blend of deep melodies and driving beats which encapsulate the album’s emotional depth.

Taking Back Control

Adam Beyer - Taking Back Control - Drumcode - DC329

Crisis Of Man welcomes back Brooklyn-native Alex Hoffman, aka Brälle, under his deeper, more introspective alias Gentian. Where Brälle ventures into darker and more cerebrally intense realms, Gentian takes the opposite route, instead focusing on deeper, more melancholic, and euphoric techno. This is the true sound of melodic techno.

Support here: https://adversarialmachines.bandcamp.com/album/eucharist

Betaville is the incediary lead single from Eucharist, the third installment of the Adversarial Machines series. Helmed by Brooklyn DJ and producer BRÄLLE, this label is a force for visceral, glitch-soaked productions, each track paired with powerful reinterpretations or "Adversaries" from his most admired artists. "Betaville" itself is a nihilistic depth charge: brittle, coarse, and profoundly uncompromising.

PREMIERE: BRÄLLE - Betaville [AM003]

Since the label’s inception, Crisis Of Man has consistently focused on looking to the future and nurturing emerging talent. Amsterdam’s Dan Berg is one such artist who enters the world of electronic music with his mighty  Sleepless Cities EP. Across seven distinct tracks, Dan showcases his vision of powerful techno, ranging from club-focused cuts to jungle and ambient. If each release of an artist is a statement, Dan is firmly staking his claim in the world of techno.
