Coldgeist’s music on Unknown Bodies is an intimate reinterpretation of coldwave, techno and dark ambient codes, uttered with strength, guts, and an underlying romantic soul. Inspired by nocturnal runs of “bōsōzoku” bikers clans, who stem from this japanese subculture of the late seventies ; Coldgeist has created a series of soundscapes and songs that evoke speeding through foggy nights and fluorescent lights. 

Haunting repetitions and stiffness of the rhythms as a metaphor of mechanical gestures, of bodies turned into units of consumption, stranded from the life and passion they crave. The frustration of a youth that only finds relief in extreme experiences, danger, and the sexual tension of speed and crashes. With analog and digital instruments, field recordings but also his own voice and songs, Coldgeist has bred a truly unique record.

Ambient Sleepers 007: Medulla Oblongata
( @medulla_oblongata )

Our 7th episode is stepping out from our regular format of podcasts aired on Refuge Worldwide, and is simply released only here on Soundcloud.

We're happy to welcome Medulla Oblongata, curating the French collective TRÊVE, promoting Ambient events and podcast.
Get on board for a dark, drone and atmospheric Ambient journey!

More info about Medulla Oblongata:

Medulla Oblongata is a discreet yet emerging Dj who blossoms in his musical biotope between ambient and a mental and hypnotic techno. His techno sets are an invitation to an immersive journey where dancers can forget themselves. We could see him working lately with the Château Perché Festival and their secret and uncompromising side projects and mixing at KALT Club (Strasbourg, Fr) where he can express himself without boundaries.

With other weirdos he also co-founded the collective TRÊVE gathering artists from different horizons around ambient and visual arts in order to propose dreamlike and contemplative events. His ambient sets become hybridized with tape samples, droning machine loops and synthesizers.

In Aeternam Vale is an electronics fanatic who has experimented continually with the analogical synths and old rhythm boxes in his collection. To this day his music remains incredibly powerful, cold and caustic and takes cues from punk rock nihilism and aggression. He was in a band back in the eighties but also was inspired by Kraftwerk and conjured up his own inhuman musical universe with haunting singing front and centre. His nightmarish atmospheres also come with a sense of satire and humour and though confrontational in nature, are hugely rewarding. His visceral relationship with music has played out with releases on Minimal Wave and went on to take in trance-techno, ambient and even house in recent decades. Opening up is ‘La Plage’, with vulnerable vocals lost in a mix of jittery drums and hits that are innocent yet powerful. It’s a brilliantly unusual sound that is both danceable yet emotional. The stiff and coarse ‘Bathroom’ has deadpan vocals and flat footed drums. The edginess of the voice is offset by a more playful melody and the whole thing prowls at a slow and predatory pace. From there, ‘Rattlesnake’ rides rough on a corrugated bassline as metallic hits light up the groove like a strobe. Mangled vocals add a layer of grime and eeriness while the drums work you into a slow motion dance that will send clubs wild. Last of all, ‘The Missionary’ is the most industrial and brutalist of the lot, with gauzy textures, drilling bass and dystopian moods all finished with a voice that is refracted around the mix. This is utterly thrilling and fresh sounding electronic music that is truly timeless.
