Knowledge Imprint is proud to welcome another young talent to the roster. Hailing from the UK, FLAWS is fairly new to the scene, but he has already begun cementing himself with a clear vision, purpose and artistic integrity. His passion for music is evident not only through his own productions and DJ sets, but also through his labels that he runs with his likeminded counterparts. 

‘Cosmology’ introduces the EP with dubby textures, dark moods and a chugging rhythm that carries the listener through shades of loopy techno. Subtle percussive shifts are synchronised with a repeating bass stab that gives the track a sense of galloping, forward movement. ‘Principle’ on the other hand is a lesson in restraint. A simple loop comprising of a kick drum and melodic digital percussion repeats throughout, whilst a running white noise hi-hat provides rhythmic diversity in the arrangement. Elegant and minimalistic, the track encourages introspection but could be equally functional for dancefloor moments. 

‘Code’ employs slower tempos to drag you into its depths, this track evokes darker moods with somber pads ebbing and flowing throughout. Similarly, the track’s repetitive nature is countered with hi-hats that spontaneously expand and contract. ‘Structure’ closes the EP with a sense of optimism and release. It’s punchy drums and rhythmic variations are layered with lush pads that sway in and out of an arpeggiated synth melody. 

‘The true art of living in harmony with the earth, fellow humans and the universe is an idea that should be observed with delicate attention. We could have a chance to broaden our nature to understand more clearly what reality consists of.’

Deano and Faretrade join forces to launch the DFT sublabel on Knowledge Imprint. The inaugural release is a five track EP recorded between Berlin and Cape Town over the course of a year, representing a creative, exploratory dialogue between friends. 

Most of the tracks were originally recorded as one-take jams with the Elektron Machine Drum, Novation Peak, SH-101, and Lyra-8 prior to heavy editing and processing. The synth work is loose, with strong ostinato and staccato elements against stripped back, raw percussion. 

No fuss, no frills.

After Deano and Faretrade’s inaugural release on the Knowledge Imprint DFT sublabel comes a remix pack of those first collaborative tracks. Following the sonic palette of the originals, the artists have enlisted some of their favourite young producers to contribute their interpretations. On the A-Side you’ll find Border One and Quelza, while on the B-Side you’ll find CONCEPTUAL and D-Leria, all of whom put their idiosyncratic touches into the package, guiding the listener through everything from driving and bright to warm and hypnotic. Also contributing an exclusive digital-only remix is Portugal’s own prodigy Nørbak to round things off in solid fashion.

Young, rising Dutch artist Nachtwaker - @nachtwaker-143710920 - makes his debut on Knowledge Imprint with a mature, sci-fi techno expedition with tools for any time of the night.

Opening the EP is ‘Remind Me Again’, a slow building composition that eventually leads into an off-kilter beat with dark, hypnotic undertones and swirling hats. With similar characteristics comes ‘Valid Request’, albeit this time with a classic undulating four-to-the-floor pattern which closes out the A-Side trip. 

‘Currents’ picks up right where the A-Side left off. Maintaining the brooding energy, this track turns up the dial for the peak time with panning synth stabs and driving rhythms. ‘Chromatic Pulse’ is likewise centred on galloping synth stabs, but this time employs a hip-shaking low-end groove to round out the EP out on a high.

After 4 years, label owner Deano returns with a new full solo EP on the imprint. Often known for his more minimalistic productions, this release takes a different turn showing Deano’s renditions of driving, raw sounds for dark rooms.

‘Revisions’ is a saturated combination of classic bleep techno motifs and galloping low-end rhythms. With a slow-building arrangement and simple sound palette, this track bridges the gap between the hypnotic and the forceful. On a similar tip, ‘Discordance’ is as the name suggests. Rooted on a thumping off-beat rhythm, the discordant synth sequence runs throughout the track whilst morphing at key moments and following claps and hip-shaking percussion that retain the groove.

Continuing the energy from the A-Side, the title track ‘Circularity’ employs a more playful arrangement with percussive elements that emerge and retract at surprising moments. The synth elements also take on a percussive quality giving the track its rhythmic delight. Closing things out is ‘Grit’, the deeper the cut of the package. While retaining the raw quality of the release, this track employs immersive synths and soundscapes for introspection.
