Mantis 13/Mantis 14 - out now

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.

Siamese Twins embarks on its 10th release milestone with the acclaimed Thai performance artist Tul Waitoonkiat. In หนึ่งคำถาม (One Question), Waitoonkiat's poetry is conjoined into a versatile sonic meeting of minds, created in collaboration with producers Black Merlin, Sapphire Slows, and Sleep D. Aligning seamlessly with Siamese Twins' trademark ethos of cultural reflection and interdisciplinary exploration.

Waitoonkiat, known for his socio-political work "2553," which reflects on the 2010 military crackdown in Thailand, has presented his novel "Silence is Violence" through multidisciplinary art exhibitions across Bangkok. One of these collaborations with Siamese Twins’ Khun Fluff in 2022 established a profound connection and laid this release's foundational recording layer. The recorded poem explores existential themes, pondering the endless cycle of questioning and the dichotomy between silence and imagination, darkness and light, with its contemplative imagination setting the stage.

The A-side unveils George Thompson's universe, known in the terrestrial realm as Black Merlin, with two noirish cinematic explorations that compose Waitoonkiat’s trademark expressive and enigmatic voice into the release's fabric. Showcasing Thompson’s ability to create hypnotic, depth-charged soundscapes that captivatingly feed into a broader story rather than claiming center stage.

The B-side begins with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist Sapphire Slows. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.

B2 closes with a seven-and-a-half-minute peak timer revolving around a pulsating bassline and driving force of drum energy. One craving for packed warehouses and bush raves by the Australian wizards of OZ and Butter Sessions label owners, Sleep D, aka Corey Kikos and Maryos Syawish.

On Board Music returns for its sixth installment of the Various Artists EP series, but this time with a different approach. Five fresh remixes breathe new life into Point C, originally released in 2021 and consisting of tracks from Foreign Material, Hironori Takahashi, Hiver, Sylve and Alan Backdrop.

For the 2024 update, On Board enlists five of the finest deep techno practitioners to twist the originals into bold new forms. US artist Patrick Russell dives deep into his signature, tripped-out zone, with dub and half-time sensibilities grounding the remix in an eyes-down headspace. Estrato Aurora, who remixes Hiver’s cut, goes equally subterranean, perfectly setting up the nimble drumming and bright melodies of Polygonia’s contribution.

On the B-side, Forest On Stasys melts the synths of Alan Backdrop’s “Oelo” into an ever-evolving slice of dance floor psychedelia, before Detroit luminary Erika focuses on a syncopated, shuffling rhythm. Together, the five tracks cover extensive ground, all bound by the uniquely hypnotic sound that On Board is well known for.

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’.

Finnish deep techno maestro Kaspiann (@soundsofkaspiann) makes his Mantis debut with four densely packed depth charges of dancefloor meditation. The Helsinki-based artist has been entrenched in the city’s underground scene for a long time, organising official and unofficial parties, DJing prolifically and performing live. Since establishing his VALA label in 2021 via a split release with regular collaborator Multicast Dynamics, his sound has refined towards an elegant, heads-down sound which is represented perfectly on this four-track excursion. From the even-tempered mantra of ‘Satakieli’ to the aqueous, lightly dubbed electro of ‘Tuiskussa Langennut’, the warm after hours synth bath of ‘Havinavalssi’ and the pensive percussive of ‘Solina’, Kaspiann demonstrates a keen balance between richly layered detail and an overall subtlety — heavyweight music that feels light on the ears.

Ina Kacz announces her first EP “Endless” on her new imprint Aneelhi Rec.

Following her debut releases on the Colombian label From A Lost Place and Italian Pregnant Void, Ina now presents her very first EP, comprising five tracks, each crafted with distinctive soundscapes and atmospheres. “Endless” is the result of Ina’s ethereal approach to music and dancefloors.

The EP kicks off with “Day Off”, a dreamy half-tempo composition infused with glitchy textures, setting the tone perfectly as an introductory track for the release. “Dirty Looks” follows suit, a pulsating and danceable track merging melodic elements with mysterious textures. Transitioning to the third track, “New Grounds” opens the mood to a techno-infused atmosphere while maintaining a dreamy and emotive aura with its nostalgic melody. The EP concludes with “Neon” and “Similitude”, two high energy dancefloor-oriented tracks, characterized by hypnotic atmospheres, intricate textures, and a seamless sense of fluidity that defines the essence of the EP.

_______________________________

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.

Caldera - Triangular Passage [MLF015] Snippets

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.
