At what point does a new tool or technology become so integral to a process as to be intrinsic? And what happens if that technology starts to subordinate its user? 

By reflecting on these questions Machine Alliance, the new EP by Irish producer Kerrie on Tresor Records, connects her music to the sci-fi origins of techno and electronic music in general.

With inspiration from classic books and films of the genre such as The Machine Stops, The Matrix, and Blade Runner as well as modern explorations in art and philosophy like Free Your Mind and Technopoly, the EP's title takes on two opposing but intersecting meanings. 

One, based on the potential for machines to take over or replace humans, is a key idea of sci-fi that seems closer to reality with the arrival of machine learning and real artificial intelligence.

The second has a much more positive view, one where the "alliance" is between the artist and machine to create the music, a process she places immense value on, being both cathartic and therapeutic, whilst also being a vehicle of addition and expansion:


"I feel that it's a collaboration&hellip;the machines are precise in their timing and I add the human touch (literally) in the live performance which adds natural imperfections, so we both provide something the other can't. There's also an element of growth; the machines get updates and so are always expanding in terms of their musical capabilities. And the more I push my own technical abilities I feel we are growing together in a constant synchronised dance."

This "dance" results in four tracks (plus three digital-only bonuses) of classic machine funk which combine the aforementioned ideas in sci-fi with a deep lifelong affection for techno. Tracks like Ode to the D, and Technopoly Dream display this love through her choice of sounds and structure, both intentional and subconscious, while Replicants, and Human in the Loop project into other genres to fully round this release off as a contemporary example of music rooted in both past and future.

Next up on True Romance is Tchailyn.
His creative journey was reignited amidst the pandemic, where music production served as a therapeutic anchor. Rooted in Canada, a land of distinct seasonal shifts that deeply impacts creative expression, and with a Middle Eastern background, it's no surprise that Tchailyn's sounds reflect a
fusion of both influences.

Following the success of Tchailyn’s last EP, released on Ten Walls’ Runemark and supported by artists like Eelke Kleijn, Braxton, and many more, Tchailyn returns with three sun-soaked melodic tracks perfect for the upcoming summer days.

Kicking off the EP with hypnotic house grooves, ‘Smile Right Back’ is here to set the mood for intimate gatherings in dimly lit basement spaces. Following up, ‘Miss It All’ evokes images of
splashing water and lounging under the summer sun and finally, with its pounding bassline & euphoric synth melodies, ‘Spirits’ is meant for the early hours on the club dance floor.
