Due for September 15, the ‘Premier Rayon’ compilation is a legacy from ‘Paturia’ – a party organized by the French collective last summer – as you can find Ended., HAJJ, _mass or Jonnnah on the line-up, all part of this hot  weekend of August 2020. 
To accompany them: GOLCE, Caïn و Muchi, K I A (A Strange Wedding & Jan Loup),  Women In The Royal Court (OKO DJ & Tryphème) ft. Clara!, Salma Rosa or Lucy  Liyou, paving the way to another reunion in France’s verdant meadows.

Definitely oriented towards contemporary electronics, the 11-track various offers a selection of experimental breaks infused with futuristic trap, dark downtempo and rousing trance, all tightly linked up by an overall digital emo-pop vibe. Between its frenetic, tormented atmosphere, the release also offers a few moments of contemplation, unveiling a softer fragment of the recurrent-to-be gathering, headed by the Mariani duo (Marie Desseauves & Antoine Odin). 

Limited to 250 copies, the crystal-clear 2x12” and its 10-hand designed gatefold is  another nod to these moments when artists and audience join as one, providing the  natural surroundings with an unforgettable memory of symbiosis and creativity.

Huge thanks to Marie-Hélène et Dominique Desseauves, Guillaume Lespinasse, Loïs Markarian, Elioth Joris, Jules Rousselet, Paul Peyrolle, Raphael Amiet, Vincent Bentolila, Organizatsiya, Ended, Dyy, Jonnnah, Oko DJ, Tryphème, Clara!, K I A, Hajj, GOLCE,  _mass, Caïn و Muchi, Salma Rosa, Lucy Liyou, and all the people who supported us for this project.

A @deardogs debut finds @apulati-bien at his most fluid and amorphous.

Following notable incursions on footwork and dancehall zones, new EP ‘Non Masse’ marks a departures into new ambient realms. Spatialised, probing sound designs ranging from percolating to vaporous. 

Our pick, ’Seeder’, floats in on a dense, widescreen cloud. The kind of ambient emission that resonates with the explorative nature of earlier Apulati releases.

'Non Masse' is out March 24th on Deardogs.

Premiere: Apulati Bien - Seeder [Deardogs]

Racine uses sound to transcend the contemporary hellscape. Far from indulging in purely hedonistic escapism or nihilistic detachment, the celebrated Canadian producer confronts difficult emotions head-on, embracing tension and turbulence. Each release reformulates uncertainty into haunted soundscapes bristling with detail, weaving fractured samples, mutant melodies and glacial electronics into a hyper-real reflection of modern living. New two-track single Delirium focuses those same future-seeking sonics into Racine’s most direct – not to mention surprising – work to date.

Side A coalesces the producer’s amorphous electronics into a crystalline dancefloor workout. Soaring vocals clipped from a New Age radio broadcast glide atop ruffneck drums, with noctilucent synth pads and fizzing ambience seeping in through the cracks. Racine’s signature sense of unease and melancholy is still very much present, though here lurking in the track’s low-end and on the periphery; an overwhelming endorphin rush threatening to tip into amphetamine anxiety at any moment. Side B explodes outwards from that same sound palette, dancefloor hooks atomised into formless textures, eschewing melody and rhythm as it reaches toward even more ecstatic heights.

Delirium provides an exhilarating expansion of Racine’s soundworld, demonstrating his prowess as a producer even while moving into new contexts, and speaking to a distinct need for ecstatic release and transcendence.

UK producer Renslink calls IM103 his first effort focused on the dancefloor, but it belies a lifetime steeped in it. This is prime material for the most advanced of DJs.

The first cut, Static, blends heavy, droning atmospheric sound design with the half-time template of dubstep, complete with jungle vocals. Before reaching the first half, however, it goes into a healthy techno gallop, making the track a perfect set opener if drama is your thing.

From that we go into the three-on-two mindbend of In My Mind, full of beautiful rhythmic trickery and rave culture nods in the sampled female vocals.

Cenotaph feels like a Pinch & Mumdance dub that they kept for themselves around the Control/Strobelight era, all rolling, persistent kick, dubbed-out dready vocals and dystopian hoover.

In Touching The Void we find a moment of drama and relative tenderness, as cinematic strings and choir soar over a busy rolling breakbeat. Occasionally, the proceedings are punctuated by a reese bass and bleeps fill that keep it fresh (an you on your toes).

Closer Silence is a mutant dembow wobbler with alien vocals by Nivalis, like dancehall for after the nuclear apocalypse, when we’ll have all the extra limbs we’ll need to dance to music like this.
