NetherRealm EP

Ghost of the samurai

TL PREMIERE : Aztronouth ft. CybeReign - Ghost of the samurai [Connectome Records]

A Bad Trip 2 Nowhere (a.k.a. WaVa Zoom! )

Air Max '97 - Expenditure

http://planet.mu/releases/alousia/

Tristan Douglas (a.k.a. Antwood) returns with a new 5 track EP 'Alousia', his first new material in two years.

"With Alousia I wanted to play with and celebrate dance music, not ‘subvert’ it like I did on my previous albums," Tristan says. Nods to genres like trance, gabber, donk and electro can be heard in Alousia’s textures and rhythmic palette. However, after listening to the EP, one is left with the sense that a larger idea is pinning the work together.

"While making Alousia I had the idea of 'pillars' and 'stylites' stuck in my head. For whatever reason, these concepts matched how I think of dance music – at least the parts of dance music I like the best – the parts that feel expansive, unambiguous and purposeful like towering monuments. I wanted Alousia to have this expansive feeling.”

The EP begins almost silently with “Pillar of Inversions,” where dusty layers of hardware trance slowly build and entwine until abruptly exploding into a euphoric drop: the first of Tristan’s “sound pillars”. The second track, “Liquid & Digits,” presents itself as a no-nonsense electro cut, but takes unlikely twists and dips while coming across feeling somehow like devotional music. “Trance Pillar” takes its time gaining momentum, as trance synth lines and flutes weave an intricate and bittersweet web of harmony and melody ultimately culminating in a powerful, syncopated gabber payoff. “Daniel the Stylite” meanwhile starts off deceptively poppy until it switches into gloggy nu-metal boogie. Finally, “Elder Theme” closes the EP, feeling less like an ending and more like an intermission, or perhaps a gateway into something else.

https://bizaarbazaar.bandcamp.com/album/bizaarbazaar-02-tshirt

Following the aspirations of the first compilation of Bizaarbazaar, #2 is a media experiment that attempts to preserve musical content against the unpredictable mutations of the web. It features the work of over 40 artists responding to the themes: ‘Sonic Fragments,’ and ‘Rhythmic Weaponry.’ 

While bizaarbazaar #1 was packaged as a zine and double cassette, its successor strays further from conventional music packaging to take the form of a t-shirt tied to a unique download code, and a radio transmission on NTS Radio. To celebrate as well as accompany the release, a listening session of bizaarbazaar #2 is held at Motto Berlin in collaboration with the Swiss magazine zweikommasieben.

By now @SHALT's pretty much a @do-the-astral-plane legend, in our humble opinion. 

His early releases via the LA-founded label and platform, such as 2016's 'Acheron' or 'Inertia', set forth his musical mission statement (of sorts) as he unlocked new ways to manipulate sound design for a slew of club-centric environments. 

That's not to say he's a 'club-with-a-capital-c' producer who only caters to the rave, however. In fact, as evidenced on his 2018 full-length 'Seraphim' (an album debut for both him and the label) as well as on his forthcoming EP 'Ochre Flood', SHALT provides listeners with compelling music to glide through life to sans any club completely. Which is what we all want really, right? Soundtracks to our lives?

So be it functional, bass-heavy tunes built with scale, physicality and technological prowess (and totally destined for front left ravers) or earthier, textured and subdued genre-less tracks that appeal in those post-club contemplation moments, it's here at the meeting point between his concepts and interests that SHALT thrives. 'Ochre Flood', perhaps, the best example of this.

'Ochre Flood' will be released on February 14 via Astral Plane Recordings. Pre-order below and tune into our pick of the bunch 'Shudder' now.

Premiere: SHALT 'Shudder'

QUARANTINE SONIC SQUAD est une communauté de musicien-nes de différents horizons formels et stylistiques, rassemblé-es sous cette seule et même bannière suite aux mesures de confinement radicales prises par l'État français en réponse à l'épidémie de COVID-19. 

L'idée derrière le projet "DAL DE VIVRE" est née de deux contextes spécifiques qui sont les conséquences directes de cette crise socio-sanitaire globale. Tout d'abord, cette situation nouvelle et extra-ordinaire de confinement (temporaire mais non moins nécessaire) qui nous a poussé toutes et tous en tant qu'artistes, interprètes, producteur-ices, instrumentistes, DJs et autre professionnel-les de la musique, à repenser notre activité professionnelle à l'aune d'un repli spatial forcé. Puis en un second temps, la situation plus qu'alarmante dont souffrent les plus démuni-es de nos soeurs et frères humain-es, mal-logé-es, sans-abris et autres occupants de logements insalubres, rendu-es de facto incapables de se confiner sereinement. Cette précarité, déjà visible bien avant l'apparition du virus, est exacerbée par la gestion ultra-libérale des territoires habitables. Effet collatéral d'une époque où la privatisation des biens publics par certaines puissances industrielles et économiques tend à être rendue légitime par les institutions qui devraient pourtant oeuvrer à  leur sauvegarde. Et dont les symptômes ressentis intimement, dans nos chairs, ne font que s'amplifier en ces temps d'urgence sanitaire.

Également conscient-es des engagements militants menés par le DAL (Droit Au Logement) afin de faire bouger les lignes sur ce sujet à une échelle plus globale, nous avons donc décidé de produire un objet musical qui viendrait soutenir leur lutte sur le plan financier (par contribution directe en achetant cet album - à prix libre) tout en constituant un relais à leurs différentes modes d'actions actuels revendications d’urgence : la réquisition des hôtels, meublés touristiques, logements et bureaux vacants pour loger les sans abris mais aussi très mal logés et victimes de violences conjugales et intra-familiales, le moratoire sur les loyers et les factures d’énergie, avec rétablissement et renforcement des APL, l’arrêt de toutes les expulsions...

Malgré ce contexte tout à fait nouveau qui tend à interpeller nos consciences, nous avons produit cet album animé-es par des énergies salvatrices. Tous les morceaux qui le composent sont les produits du confinement et du bouillonnement de ses auteur-ices. Il comprend aussi quelques collaborations inédites d'artistes qui n'auraient d'aventure pas été amenés à travailler ensemble dans une autre temporalité, mais qui se retrouvent ici main dans la main pour créer un contenu musical solidaire et militant. Sa narration a été pensée comme un écoulement, qui vient tout du long se faire remuer par des vagues soniques aux couleurs variées qui, nous l'espérons, rappelleront à nos auditeur-ices à quel point la scène électronique française est riche musicalement. Par delà les frontières du genre et des querelles esthétiques de chapelle. Bonne écoute et bonne lutte !

Agôn - Work In Middle

We're thrilled to announce the first part of Charles Taciturn's forthcoming project, Nebulae Nursery. xenonyms' most prolific producer returns with an ambitious double album full of captivating tunes.

A few worlds from Charles:

"This album was probably the most fun for me to work on. I tried to escape some of the bleaker themes of my previous songs and concentrate, rather heavily, on this concept of a "dreamworld" I kept reverting back to in my day-to-day life. A dreamworld is almost always, by nature, a form of escapism. But I think I needed just that in this era, and time to be more introspective as opposed to constantly worrying about an imposing force in the "outside" world. These songs are meant to provide comfort and warmth in what may seem like dark times--ultimately, a way to escape."

Tracks composed and mixed by Charles Taciturn, mastered by GFXIII.

Charles Taciturn - Noir

https://soundcloud.com/ilthinkd , born from a human error, makes noises with words, not real music (in other words, some experimentations with rap). 
He’s an MC, DJ and producer from Italy, taking part in various collaborative projects such as: Outside The Box (rap duo with paCMan aka Backjumper), 0X6 Posse hardcore rap group (with Tenko Bloodlaire, Skreeba, Whitey, Cospa, DJ Toshiro), and Unctrl Alt Canc, one of the first bass music project in Italy with Nuncha aka Panacef Mishima, since 2009
In 2018 he started his label https://soundcloud.com/antistandardrecs, one of the first label to introduce in Italy subgenres like halftime, grime and experimental bass music. 
 
At the moment, as MC, he's working on three different projects: a mix of vaporwave, noise and grime with Panacef Mishima; a short EP with heavy synths and experimental basslines under his dialect-only grime lyrics with L O S C I; and finally an hardcore rap project called Novembre 87 with paCMan and Tenko Bloodlaire out for Aldebaran Records.

What was a crucial sonic experience in your life? 
Try to live it, in a world that always tries to do the opposite. 

The podcast starts when Think’d recalls listening (serious) music for the first time, violently excluding those Hit Mania Dance era when he tried uselessly to be integrated with his so called “friends”.  Chaotically trying to describe his musical memories by using approximately 2 or 3 essential records per year, you can discover what guided him in the last 23 years.
