WMX: CURRENTS (Darkmatter Soundsystem DMDIGI013)

1. CURRENTS
2. SOLSTICE
3. DONE
4. CLANG
5. GHOST
6. CULTIVATION

Recorded during the pandemic, this album consists of six tracks crafted entirely in Renoise using mostly free VST plugins. This release features music influenced by hardcore, breakcore, industrial, dancehall, and Latin rhythms driven by an onslaught of distorted kicks, metallic clangs, and broken beats.
WMX revisits old plugins and samples and combines them with new sounds and ideas to create these tracks dealing with grief, loss, and alienation.
Even when it feels impossible to go on, the currents of time carry us into an uncertain future.

Pink Abduction Ray - Roguelike - DMDIGI003 

Piercing through the ocean of static surrounding our planet, this rogue transmission of unpredictable, hybrid electronics by LA's Pink Abduction Ray is on a trajectory to inject a new pulse into the rhythm of bodies comfortably settled into their stable orbits. These five beacons of sound radiate with a force that emphasizes just how much exploration is yet to take place within the dark vastness of both inner and outer space. The release “Roguelike” is the precursor to the full US tour featuring Pink Abduction Ray and Diskore - details soon to come! 

Tracklist: 
1. Roguelike 
2. Brain Niche 
3. Shivrwurk

Pink Abduction Ray is a project founded in 2013 with a focus on creating experimental dance music for underground parties. The core philosophy has always been to play with familiar genres and tropes yet push them into undefinable spaces and forms too slippery for easily applied labels. Unpredictability is exalted as a virtue, from track to track, album to album, party to party.

2024's Logon Rush sees PAR melding the classic 4/4 driving beats of various dance and rave genres into a fast-paced alchemical party mixture blended from past, present, and future. The result is a rapid stream of fluid breaks and psychedelic emanations layered on top of solid bass in perpetual motion, a surge of rhythm rushing through colorful clouds of vibrant individual energy.

This album is self-released by Pink Abduction Ray and co-released with Darkmatter Soundsystem under catalog number DMDIGI014.

Darkmatter Soundsystem was born in early 2001 by a collective of like minded individuals who wanted to fill a void in the Los Angeles underground. We wanted nothing to do with the restrictive overpriced nature of clubs or commercial raves, but most importantly we wanted to showcase music that currently fit no where in the L.A underground. Our collective mission was to showcase extreme electronics and splintered beats in an independent autonomous zone. 

As time progressed, we became connected with others with the same mission internationally as well as locally. This network has allowed us to share ideas as well as present music that for the most part would not be heard. We are now a part of this much larger network where we seek to support each other as well as continuing to promote more experimental sounds in Los Angeles!
