As with all of his music, one can only listen and think : 'Beltran'. John has had so much consistency without ever compromising his sound, effortlessly blending into changing musical tastes, he remains as fresh as ever.

The ever-flowing rhythm where sound exploration emerges. High energy and calm lows shift back and forth, pulling the edge as a gentle, relentless force. All tracks were crafted with this ceaseless motion in mind, giving tribute and setting off a slow pace.

Javier Salazar - Tides [RDG05] (snippets)

French producer and hardware specialist @amandraaa returns to Nous'klaer with four stoic, minimal club tracks that are so delicate and deftly produced that they beg to heard as loud as possible and as quietly as possible, allowing the listener to inspect every nook and cranny of Amandra's sonic tapestry. Opener "Lavanvilla" rides a simple drum loop that's filled out by gated, beautiful noise that gets punctuated by vibey Rhodes 7th chord and a constantly evolving 16th percussion pattern that gracefully pushes that song forward. "Palette Doree" and "Edition Collector" are Amandra's most swung offerings, lively sampled percussion and lush synths that offer endless breathing space for these beautiful numbers to exhale. "Pana Ondine" is the dance floor workhorse with a soft and punchy kick, rough stabbing bass hook, wispy ride and a mesmerizing arpeggio, the track never calls your attention loudly but instead gently lures you into its grasp.

Hello world!

We are delighted to present you the first opus of 2024 and also the new V/A from the Accents Records catalog, ACCENTVA008 will be released for this new spring!

 This season, synonymous with life and renewal, is the perfect time to launch this new opus in the ACCENTVA series, a deliberately eclectic and inclusive review of current developments on the electronic music scene. With a more generous format than ever before, it makes room for both well-known label producers and pioneering artists whose work criss-crosses the world with their unique and immediately identifiable sound. Thirty artists have responded to the invitation and are brought together here to give us a glimpse into the prism of contemporary musical creation. Nor are there any presupposed and therefore definitive barriers of genre or style, On the contrary, the contours here are intended to be voluntarily porous and slippery, each track being interconnected with another, or at least echoing what we might call the zeitgeist.
Happy listening, beautiful season, be happy and creative, more than ever! 
With love <3

Experimental Japanese operator Lemna (@lemnamusic) returns to Mantis with another five intricately sculpted cuts that toy with tension, release and the mysterious atmosphere of the forest at dawn. Lemna adopts a considered, patient approach to her music practice, creating interlocking rhythms which take cues from Autonomic fragmentation as much as techno hypnosis, but it’s the spatial pressure and textural sound design which makes her music truly fly. Taking predawn walks in woods at the foot of the mountain she calls home, she drew inspiration from five different organisms within the vibrant ecosystem around her to create a collection of tracks she aptly refers to as ‘Nocturnal Assembly’.

A sheen, shaped, silver smooth 
ringing go hues bounced against 
the sizzle of shaking 
as the steady siren sings 
a tune to sway all sands 
into dunes and dynamics delivered. 

 The wheel and roll of night air moon 
dew'd backward, the underside is as dry as a chime, 
while the uppermost is a rained as the tallest cave 
that stretches the feel of inside 
as if the costae verae were elastics, 
and the sternum were a bell. 

One that might only sound out 
the metal in the veins, 
like metal under water, 
flowing, fell fathoms far 
along an elliptical path, 
drilling out the cache of concepts, 
corroded and clean, 
shing as beams build out bones 
of sound from the dark kick 
scratching out strange signs 
we cannot deny. 

 And we know. 
We who have heard. 
And felt the raying cosm 
building on scintilance 
a vast canopy that drops 
upon our heads a breaking force 
to set us a'dream, 
that no tone of suspended contact 
between you and those ahead of you in line, 
one place, one minute away 
from a beta phase, 
a sudden turn, 
a slow new, 
a change, 
a chance, 
to come careening slowly 
into air that smells of lavender, 
in a land of yellow grass 
and black stones.

IO:029 || Various Artists - Sphere Vol. 3

Sounds and scenes progress, mature, evolve, all synonyms for the same energy. The energy that surrounds the creation and impetus of a burgeoning idea or a bleeding edge of art.  

Change. 

The constant clashing of influences from everywhere and nowhere. Especially now more than ever, as everyone is battered with a barrage of ideas and trends that appear as quickly as they disappear. It’s hard to pick apart the impactful bits but to Vardae we look as a harbinger of quality changes. Today’s pick lands on his seemingly effortless foray into half-time as we land on Captivate from the forth-coming, “Dance with the spirits” EP. It’s a raucous affair, and contains all the bits you’d want from a track that will split tempo, and get dancers to sway like seaweed. From syncopated, off-kilter percussion, to long developing breakdowns, the detailed textures and minute changes get even the most jaded listener going. This EP, coupled with his Mostra set, wow. One to watch out for.

"Captivate", and the rest of the ‘Dance with the Spirits’ EP will be released on Konstrukt, April 19th.

Vardae - Dance with the spirits EP [KON21]

Sindh is back on his own imprint and introduce the 'Komudo Series' focuses on mind and body movement. Still infused into tribalism and rituals, this first opus composed by four original tracks merges subttle darkness and evolving alien textures with strong grooves. 'Akureh' kicks off its menacing low ends and warped bass that never lets up, 'Quake' suspends you amongst fluttering snares and drawn out whistles over linear beats and 'Liquefaction then gets more gritty with dirty loops and plenty of tension before 'Swarms' shuts down with a more thumping deep techno sound.

Sindh - Komudo Series Vol 1 (SINDH02)

Kaspiann / VC-118A
VALA 3

A1 Kaspiann - Moraalivesi
A2 Kaspiann - Metsätutka
B1 VC-118A & Kaspiann - 510
B2 VC-118A & Kaspiann - Sea of Cities

Exploring deeper strains of club music from his home base in Helsinki, Kaspiann presents the
latest transmission on VALA alongside frequent collaborator VC-118A. Samuel van Dijk previously
adopted his deep techno guise Multicast Dynamics for a joint track with Kaspiann on VALA 1, and
now he switches stance to his celebrated VC-118A alias to bring an elegant kind of electro to this
EP. It’s a style which also informs Kaspiann’s solo work on ‘Moraalivesi’, which upholds the
producer’s patient, meditative sound palette while toying with crooked electro rhythms. It’s
‘Metsätutka’ where he locks into a driving 4/4 propulsion adorned with subtle electro-acoustic
percussion and a keen sense of space.

On the collaborative tracks with van Dijk there’s a greater sense of head-tweaking electro setting
the tone, embracing a tightly wound framework as a vessel for richly rendered soundscapes just
past the foreground machine funk activity. If ‘510’ is a subtly deep, industrially-tinged workout, ‘Sea
Of Cities’ shifts the focus slightly to toy with melodic elements more wholeheartedly, creating an
emotional kind of sonic futurism in the grand tradition of electro soul.

VALA 3

John Beltran's 'Amazing Things' is released the 8th of April 2013 as a 2xLP + bonus 10" Limited Edition, 2xLP, CD and in digital formats.

==

After the well-received and career-spanning compilation that was 2011's Ambient Selections, John Beltran returns with a brand new album entitled Amazing Things, due for released on Delsin records in March 2013.

As a life long pioneer of ambient soundscapes, blissful downbeat and stirring techno, Michigan born John Beltran already has his place in history assured with a bulging back catalogue that takes in influential releases on vital labels like Peacefrog and R&S. This new 17-track album sees the man draw on his lifetime in music to craft an immediately timeless body of work that's stuffed with genuine musicality, pregnant with emotion and laden with organic blissfulness.

Since Beltran’s last original full length, he admits a lot has changed. "I'm using all new gear and virtual synths that I didn't have when writing Human Engine so it sounds different for sure. And let's just say that this album still wouldn't be finished had a friend not turned me on to the software Omnisphere."

Despite new tools and techniques, Beltran’s touch still shines through in his floating arrangements, opposing textures and organic resonance, as do the continued influences of favourite artists including Four Tet, Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood.

"There was no real plan [for the album]. Some of these songs ("Clouds Pull") are over two years old. This album is truly an accumulation of music inspired by my life as a new father but I didn't write these songs for an album per say. I guess it was just written with a lot of love."

Love - and feelings thereof - permeate the album from start to finish. Tracks like opener "Retrouvailles" immediately submerge you into a utopian world with the distant sound of a playground coming over like the backdrop to a daydream, whilst more kinetic, splintered efforts like "Het Leven is Mooi" recall the aforementioned patchwork beauty of Four Tet, and "Flower Power Submarine" carries you along on a warm summer breeze.

Importantly, dark is contrast with light throughout, so more sombre, melancholic drifts like "For Vangelis" sit next to the more uplifting violins and raindrop melodies of "Broken Machines". Overall a mature and hugely resonant album for grown-ups, Amazing Things is full of just that.
