This renowned French techno producer, known as Manuel-M, is also the author of three ambient albums, Endurance (2008), Thirty (2016) and the newly released Forest (2022), whose serenity, cinematic atmospheres, drones and long synthetic complaints evoke the majestic landscapes that adorn the covers of his records.

The piece is based on a hypnotic loop, taken from a fragment of a classical music orchestra chord, the sound of which is largely reworked. As the composition progresses, other patterns, including inverted sounds, appear to create a sense of movement, waves, and a slight confusion.For me, the progression of "Clair Obscur" could evoke a human figure, in the grip of some kind of blockage, impasse, but also of reset. As if trying to progress against the elements, to swim against the tide, while gaining ground step by step. The bass settles in to support this desire to progress, one melody answers another to create a dialogue. Then longer notes come in to guide the evolution of the whole piece.I wanted to express this need to keep moving forward. That despite the pitfalls, life goes on. That we must move forward. That we are our own unique driving force.

Ambient is a refuge. It's a space where I get more intimate, a place where I can express my different feelings. For me there is always a duality between light and shadow. A sort of in-between, a grey area where everything is mixed up. A combination of contemplation and introspection. In my latest pieces, I try to add a brighter side to explore new horizons, but without letting go of my inner emotions, my own experience. When it comes to listening to ambient music, I enjoy the eclectic and varied sound universes that artists are proposing today. Many of them have a beautiful musical world, with very strong concepts. This music adapts to many contexts. I think that we have never heard as much as we do today. Both consciously, with active and attentive listening, and in the background in film music, documentaries, in an exhibition...

Origins

16 Faces & DJ Lost - Origins Parts I, II & III  - [Digi]

Berlin-based artist Werner Soyeaux under his stage name Bläck Dävil is a core part of the Berlin collective Ick Mach Welle. Schnäll Schnäll is his debut solo artist EP on Killekill, with own productions accompanied by collaborations with Bettina and DJ Normal 4, alongside remixes by Rhyw and Gesloten Cirkel. The EP opens with the dark intro Alptraum, which Gesloten Cirkel transforms into an ill-tempered acid-electro monster. The title track Schnäll Schnäll provides a stark contrast to these, with bright overtones existing alongside deeply rooted sonic bedrock. Rhyw adds a level of abstraction and futurism with his remix of this track, whilst retaining the dub-influenced vibe of the original. Following on from this Geldschere is collaboration with Düsseldorf artist DJ Normal 4, with Bläck Dävil contributing his own lyrics and voice, to create a track that could be fittingly described as “Acid Punk Rock”! The final track on the release is a cheeky ode to the Ick Mach Welle family. Here the Dävil's passion for Hardtekk, Gabber and similar rough styles of music become clear.

PREVIEW: Bläck Dävil - Schnäll Schnäll EP (KILLEKILL028)

Electro producer Ara-u began his music career in the late 90s, he played an integral part in developing the scene there via community events, and his early sets showcased a fusion of vinyl and synths, using a hybrid setup of a Roland JX-305, turntables and FX to explore acid and breaks, with his versatility allowing him to effortlessly transition between open-air events and established clubs.

It is analogue electro, though, that remains at the core of Ara-u’s distinctive sound. Based in the UK for over two decades now, his unwavering passion for the genre is a hallmark of his productions and performances. From his role in the early days of the Beetroot label, which championed eclectic sounds and released music by respected UK artists such as Jerome Hill and House of Fix, to his reggae and dub-flavoured productions under his former alias The Dice, his musical heritage is richly nuanced and built upon years of experience.

In recent years, he has delivered a string of impressive electro releases, including the collaborative ‘Asking For Trouble’ EP with Radioactive Man, as well as tracks on labels including Slam’s Avoidant imprint, Censor, Co-Accused and his own label No Static/Automatic. Support for his productions has come from esteemed artists including Helena Hauff, DJ Bone, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clark, Mad Miran, Jerome Hill, Alienata, and Solid Blake. Ara-u’s robust sound has also been highlighted by leading electronic music publications including DJ Mag, Mixmag, and Resident Advisor. 

His newly designed live set utilises a set-up of Electrons Octatrack and Syntakt, Tempest, 303 and FX, and is dense and raw, traversing machine funk, filthy beats, driving, dirty basslines and dark pads. Upcoming projects include a collaboration with Ben Pest, and a number of EPs scheduled for release on his own label. With foundations rooted in a three-decade-long career and a deep affinity for powerful sound systems, Ara-u continues to make an indelible mark in the world of electro music.

Which artist has influenced you the most?

- Mainly the Detroit Electro and techno scene, Drexciya, Underground Resistance.  

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- We have really nice stuff coming out on No static Automatic including an ep's by Ed dmx, SeCond Storey, Manao, myself  and many more. I also have a collaboration coming out with Ben Pest next year.  

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- I'm going to say Radioactiveman and Ben Pest but i have so many.

What inspires you now to create music?

- New sounds from new equipment , new techniques .

Strange But Dance Music #139: ARA-U

Fujita Pinnacle 

Our next artist is an up and coming artist from Ljubljana, Slovenia. His production and live performances pay tribute to the old-school rave legacy, while also incorporating unpredictable bits of internet-age freshness and ex-yu influence, always creating explosive dancefloor ordeals to look out for.

His thought process captured it brilliantly; “Bit of an all-rounder as appropriate for the end of the year! Lots of my go-to tracks in this one, but also some newly discovered gems and oldschool classics thrown in on the fly. Enjoy!”

In the ethereal realm of the void there existed The Delphic Iris, a being of otherworldly power and boundless knowledge. The Iris was said to possess the ability to see into the future and hear unique and strange sounds from times and dimensions beyond our grasp. 

Legend has it that with a specific alignment of space and time, and with the mastering of secret ritual practices, The Delphic Iris can be conjured by mortal musicians to ignite and inspire their souls. 
__

History's stark warnings tells us that summoning The Delphic Iris is fraught with danger and risks the possible collapse of our universe, for the Iris is an unstable and powerful being. However, The Delphic Iris' visions are often too tempting to resist much like a Siren's song.  

In recent years, electronic musicians Drox and 16 Faces came across the existence of the Delphic Iris through secret texts found in "the Book of Tidder" and were able to command its power for short periods of time, and so “Delphic Iris Records” was born.  

__   

Fortune has been kind to Drox and 16 Faces so far, despite the obvious risks of summoning the entity. We do not know why this is exactly, as the ceremonies are still to this day shrouded in mystery. What we do know is that we too are lucky, because now we can hear a small glimpse of what The Delphic Iris sees.

  It is up for debate as to whether The Delphic Iris’s intentions are good or evil, so listen with caution and may these sounds consume you, for the future of music looks promising, at least for now ….
