Partiendo de inspiración visual, Norman Maldonado aka Octoptic regresa con la continuación de Frontera, siete pistas que plasman la evolución del artista con relación a su trabajo previo. 
Contorno Rojo delimita el poderoso sonido que es resaltado por las habilidades técnicas del talentoso productor. La ya característica distorsión se hace presente en cada segundo escuchado; las filosas percusiones se compenetran con las bajas frecuencias y la garantía de que lo que escuchas resonará en ti.

English

“Contorno Rojo” is the new EP-isode from producer, mixer, sound designer and WVWV label boss Octoptic. It explores everything from terrestrial landscapes of different latitudes to extraterrestrial sound worlds consisting of encounters in other time and space. 
Showcasing an amalgam of styles, some tunes are for contemporary-dancehall use only while others feel aesthetically experimental but they all share a common denominator: they are all relentlessly rhythmic fully fledged dance creations.
Norman Maldonado follows the style which he is known for and it’s much appreciated in his own label. The watermark of the producer is fully marked on each track which is an anecdote by itself. The artist does not stick to monotonous tracks, every section is ever-changing so no track structure is absolute.
Prepare yourself for a pinch of Octoptic’s cultural heritage that conforms the future sound of this newer Mexican scene consisting of conceptual albums for open-minded clubs and audiences.

Another project file lost in the digital ocean. This one is a long-form, psychosomatic, pulsating journey into introspective, rolling rhythm. Heads down for this one.

Egotot x Indirect Movement - Untitled 1

After receiving high praise for tracks under his Lockertmatik-moniker on Marcel Dettmanns MDR label, Kryptic Universe is back on track with his second EP for shtum. The Dresden local is also the first artist who does it twice on the sub-label of Uncanny Valley. And it’s a return in full glory with Kryptic Universe doing his Future Jazz thing like nobody else can do.
Just listen to the seemingly never stopping “Skala”, which is building and building into twirling Techno madness. Then we have “Drifter’s Garden”, a pretty dark affair with fizzing synth effects getting out of control. “Bodies They Came Out Of” is no less gloomy and hits hard with an attitude that reminds of those glorious days when Techno was played in rough basements and ravers couldn’t see each other through the smoke. Finally, “Alphazerfall” in the Lockertmatik Remix shows off his funky side. Dark Acid it is.
The illustration on the B-side label is by the ever-reliable Aram Haydeyan.
