Poladroïd - Quantum Pilgrim [Vinyl, 12'']

Berlin producer, Random Alias, returns with a post-lockdown reflection that includes dance-floor fillers and sonic journeys in electro, techno and acid.

BOM002 explores the dichotomy of human existence that is monotonous conformity and search for freedom. This latest release from Random Alias, makes you want to move just as much as take a moment for reflection. With each track we’re presented with the iconic red pill/blue pill concept: Remain slaves to the control and automation of modern society? Or strive for freedom as we define it ourselves?

Automat opens side A with its smouldering bassline that at times becomes warped as the 5 minutes unfold. A dreamy synth line enters like a fragmented, existential thought. The kind that wakes you up in the dead of night or while you’re in the middle of a shower. The remix from iconic electro producer, DJ Overdose, takes the original to a darker place with a slower, aggressive synth. It’s a ‘Freakfest’ as Overdose defines it.

Side B starts with Nu Funk and its representation of simple efficiency. The track keeps it tight while retaining the free-spiritedness of funk. Its warm sounds take a more old school approach and are a call to retain an easier life free from fame, money and power to the single individual. While Night Drive closes the release with a rolling bass and pads that drive a progressive sound. At its core, the record takes the listener on a trip exploring sounds and styles and the timeless notion that change is the outcome of reflection.

A crew made up of established and upcoming mind hackers has set out to reprogram MINDFRAME: These data warriors used FRANCOIS DILLINGER’s encrypted code and wrote a new script designed to set us all free from the dream. 

Each hacker delivers within their specific character and style, while willingly showing off a range of elegant interpretations—from half-time excursions to acid madness, through time traveling industrial-DNB, laser-sharp rhythms, and hypnotic meditations of melody. 

MINDFRAME is a concept from the mind of FRANCOIS DILLINGER, launched with the album ‘MINDFRAME: Cycles’ on Specimen Records. The story continues to expand during a monthly podcast on Deep Space Radio (twitch.com/deepspaceradio), the final Sunday of every month at noon Detroit | 5 PM London. Upcoming 2021 guests on the show include TELEPHASYCX!, Ivna Ji, Jauzus The Shining, Serge Geyzel & Karsten Pflum, Arsonist Recorder — all part of the Specimen roster of artists.

TL Premiere #733 (2021.10.20) : Dez Williams - Rough Edges [Woodwork Recordings]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 285th Premiere of 2021, we have a track by UK based DJ/Producer & Elektronik Religion founder "Dez Williams" titled ‘Rough Edges’ from his forthcoming EP "Rough Edges" on the Canadian Label operated by Pete Grove : Woodwork Recordings.

"Dez Williams - Rough Edges" will be available from October 22, 2021 in digital here : https://dezwilliams-woodwork.bandcamp.com/album/rough-edges

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Release Info :

Dez Williams - Rough Edges [Woodwork Recordings - WOOD102]

'Rough Edges' illustrates the perfect balance struck by Dez Williams, with intricate nuances breaking through barrages of raw kinetic force, all thriving on a sense of timelessness intersecting a feeling of immediacy.

'Colour Bind' cold fuses electro techno minimalism, with a fractured redux rhythm track accented by gooey bass stabs, visited by electro synth leads and dub tech stabs. The vibe is concise while feeling wide open.

'Rough Edges' is an epic stomper, built from rag tag random filter hits, a pulverizing wash of dirty monosynth in the low register, and a sinking atmosphere that descends into an electrified funky break.

'Bitofbaataa' immediately takes things interstellar. Dirty bass and expansive pads warp the senses, intersected by sliding melodic figures and a ferocious clap. Even this far in the cosmic realm, choice vocal hits keep things funky.

Sludgey dynamics take over on 'Saw Losers'. Menacing monster synths and huge crushing beats are paired with diabolical themes and resonant implosions.

'Never Perfect' wraps the EP on a sparkling effervescent high. Popping beats and a melodic bass groove slip and slide under some pedal tone synth siren calls. The elements are tied together with tranquil meditative string pads. The profound final statement to this release beautifully illustrates the journey and process of expression. Dez Williams reveals the mess and the magic in his process, coaxing depth and humanity from inhuman sonic palettes.

TL Premiere #737 (2021.10.22) : Replicants - Twenty Thousand Hurts [Woodwork Recordings]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 289th Premiere of 2021, we have a track by the long-established Irish Producer, DJ & radio host Mr. Spring aka "Replicants" titled ‘Twenty Thousand Hurts’ from his forthcoming EP "Arcadia" on the Canadian Label operated by Pete Grove : Woodwork Recordings.

"Replicants - Arcadia" will be available from October 29, 2021 in digital here : https://replicantswoodwork.bandcamp.com/album/arcadia

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Release Info :

Replicants - Arcadia [Woodwork Recordings - WOOD103]

'Arcadia' is the next layer in this exciting series by Replicants. This third set of retro electro cuts delves deeper inward - inside the machine. Blinks and beeps, binary sequences, light patterns and primitive code... form and function generated through analog machines... born of diodes, integrated circuits and capacitors... the programs come alive.

'Twenty Thousand Hurts' and 'Ex' rock the floor in the old school way, prominently referencing the classic proto-electro sound, with Replicants' added layer of technicolor excess. 'Arcadia' turns this sonic space inside out and the game becomes hyper-reality where bit-crushed microchip madness battles shimmering frequency modulation atmospheres for sonic supremacy.

Replicants explores a unique angle on early breakbeat and rave elements with 'Mood'. Once familiar frantic hits and staple breaks are new again, wielded as a focused mid tempo trip through rolling swells of side-chained atmosphere.

'Trance Pants' references classic Kraftwerk in its cryptic vocoder hits while grooving in a syncopated bouncy style that loses itself in extreme echo effects and chiptune mayhem. Thick 808 serves as the anchor in a maelstrom of abstract electro.

Following the approach of the previous EPs in this series, Replicants includes a killer set of bonus alternate mixes in the Bandcamp release package.

Tracklist :
1. twenty thousand hurts
2. ex
3. arcadia
4. mood
5. trance pants
6. BONUS twenty thousand hurts [extended]
7. BONUS ex [extended]
8. BONUS arcadia [dub]
9. BONUS trance pants [jam-out]

Alphabet Loop (John Selway Remix)

STRX010: Satellite Trax presents “We Dress For Dinner EP” - a buffet of homegrown dubplates by Joel Dunn, best known as Marshall Applewhite.

Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/strx010

As we continue our mission of dancefloor exploration into the colder days ahead, we reanimate one of our favorite revenants from the bottomless underworld to warm us back up.

An immortal product of the robust Detroit scene, Joel Dunn now serves as a commander in our growing Satellite Trax fleet. Last year's "Michigan & Rosa EP" [STRX008] under his dubstep-centric alias OktoRed cracked our foundation with blistering bass weight. This time, he returns to our sublabel by way of his Marshall Applewhite project, cunningly named after the deranged leader of Heaven's Gate.

Known for cultivating bass workouts that gravitate towards modern electro, Marshall Applewhite is back with a fresh tracklist of cult classics. "We Dress For Dinner EP" is a hate letter to the eerie autumn breeze felt after supper, capturing the essence of our shapeshifter's many stylistic forms. For his slower paced, hypnosis-inducing tracks, he has coined the term "sludge" as a niche descriptor and potential subgenre to build upon. This can be heard in the opener "Acid Beans," a midtempo meltdown and theme song of experiencing poison damage. The EP looks into the future with "Ravioli Raid," stepping on the tempo throttle with its clear ghettotech influence and ode to pasta. "Old Risotto Lung Charlie" keeps the octane flowing through cleverly syncopated yet unforgiving bassline intended to devour dimly lit dancefloors. The acidic bassline in "Meat Droplets" is an insignia of Detroit dwellers, assembled around an inimitable groove reminiscent of early techno mornings. "Sunday Dishes" is a suitable pick-me-up for weekend warriors in the form of smooth, tasteful jungle with no aftertaste.

As a newfound tradition and homage to last year's "Vengabus" on STRX008, Marshall Applewhite closes with another Bandcamp-exclusive track. "Mr. Vain Cover" flips Culture Beat's 90s anthem into a DJ tool drenched in his "sludge" aesthetic. What he hilariously described as "MTV techno" is willfully drained into a garbage disposal for our morbid curiosity.

There are few entities that better represent our personal slice of the Motor City's vibrant underground than Marshall Applewhite. His latest offering is yet another testament to the urban grit and grueling bass that are integral components of our sonic DNA. Let "We Dress For Dinner EP" serve as the otherworldly soundtrack to your next social gathering - dissatisfaction guaranteed, or your money back.

Satellite Trax - an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere. 

Written, produced, & mastered by Joel Dunn
