Taken from Reeko - Cryptophony [SMDELP17]

Cryptophony is released on 2xLP and Digital 

Black, Marbled or Collector’s Special Edition Vinyl options available

https://reeko-mdisorder.bandcamp.com/album/cryptophony

Continuing the trajectory set by last year’s EPs and experimental long-player, Reeko returns to Samurai Music to deliver an expansive album that goes further into his experimental practice at the intersection of deep techno, drum & bass and electronica.

On Cryptophony, Rico continues this thread of exploration and uses the concept of inaudible or encrypted sounds as an inspirational jump-oﬀ point for an incredibly detailed, nuanced body of work. When meditative minimalism and insistent repetition are key compositional tools, the sound ﬁeld is opened up for subtlety in the spaces between notes, and that’s precisely the experience Rico has crafted across seven extended pieces.

“Crytophony explores how sound can conceal, suggest or reveal information in a symbolic, sensory or ritualistic way,” Rico explains. “I found it interesting as a first step to investigate further. There are no hidden messages in the music, but there are strange voices that, after the final process, sound transformed.”

about the release -

Side A: Forgotten Corner - Prosthetic Limbo
written, produced and mixed by Nick Mackrory & Phil Banks
The original version was created by Nick & myself, Autumn 2017, using various Roland, Dave Smith, Doepfer hardware, plus additional live percussion.

Side B: Forgotten Corner - Prosthetic Limbo (Cassini Division remix)
Cassini Division is Kyle Martin’s solo project. His previous remix on forg002 still sounds timeless, so we asked him to remix forg004. Kyle agreed and delivered a monster of a spacious hypnotic slow techno re-imagination!.

Kyle took all of the different elements & put each of them through his modular system & homemade modular fx, he then merged them with some other tones and percussive sounds that he created on his Macbeth synth, re-pitching the sounds to lower the frequencies & then adding various spring reverb
fx to create the spacious immersive atmosphere. The end result is a total trip... turn up loud, close your eyes....repeat!.

If you haven’t heard any of the other projects Kyle’s involved in please check...Vactrol Park, Spectral Empire, Brain Machine & Land Of Light

Thank you for taking the time to listen to our latest release, we hope you enjoy the music!

Forgotten Corner - Prosthetic Limbo (Cassini Division remix)

As excitement builds for this year's Convenanza Festival, the event curated by Bernie Fabre and Andrew Weatherall, Höga Nord get set to release a compilation celebrating the artists performing at this years . Among the performers are Komodo Kolektif.  Having been featured on Weatherall's NTS show Music's not for Everyone the Glasgow collective are heading out to Carcasonne to woo the crowds with their unique brand of Cosmic live instrumentation and no doubt the centrepiece will be Daratan Ceremony, a track which straddles the line between Etnofunk and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Tabla sounding drums underpin distorted wind chimes, growling thick bass in a track which in another dimension would be the theme for a warped wildlife documentary series about humans, no doubt being watched by ants or some other dominant technologically advanced species.  Members of the band have released solo on Optimo and Invisible, Inc. and along with several other sometime members have melded live instrumentation with machinery musically in the same way that body horror director David Kronenburg has on film.
Höga Nord's association with Andrew Weatherall continues to be fruitful with this fantastic sampler heading into the weirder and slightly more Cosmic edges of electronic music.

DT PREMIERE: Keys - Reality RIO01

Very first appearance of Nadia D’Alò on vinyl (also half of INIT alongside label honcho Benedikt Frey), this misty first extract is part of a 2 tracks EP. Second release after the Keys album (aka BF & Chris Cox), RIO really seem to be one of the label to keep in mind for the future.

PREMIERE |  Nadia D'Alò - Pitcher [R.I.O.] 2019

Originally, Auren comes from downbeat, ambient and slow electronica background. He had to break his own rules in order to move into different music direction, what with the time becomes more and more unknown for himself. This reflects in Aurens debut album, where the boundaries between styles, genres, known and modern dissolve. Most of the tracks were recorded live during his sleepless jams at his studio in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Unknown

[PPP012] AUREN - The Unknown (Snippets) - OUT on 2.11.2019

The bar was crowded and noisy, a constant thrashing of sound that made it hard to hear your own thoughts. The men of the town came to drink here every night; they would tell tales of the days events and brag to one another about their various accolades. As the night went on, the men's arrogance grew, fuelled by multiple scotches and tankards of bitter. When the clock struck 12, the door swung open and a woman clad in black confidently made her way to the bar. All eyes were on her as she moved through the room. She cast a glare to either side and the men sheepishly looked away. She was fierce, nobody here would dare to challenge her. Everybody was afraid of her and that's exactly the way she liked it...

For the second release on her and friend Umut's label Müstesna, Ece Özel has rounded up both local Turkish producers and overseas friends to feature on their forthcoming compilation sheLter. Over 25 artists have contributed to the VA release, including international friends like Beesmunt Soundsystem, Alessandro Adriani, Mr TC and Tolouse Low Trax, as well as native artists like Mehmet Aslan, Emre Can Swim and Erdnik Ol. The impetus behind this compilation is to provide financial support and create national and international awareness of trans murders and trans suicides in Turkey, where the murder rate is the highest in Europe. All proceeds will be given to “Eylül Cansın Trans Guest House" - a place founded by the Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association - and will help provide support and generate income for the guest home to find a new home and keep the establishment going.

PREMIERE: Heap & Bocksrucker - Fierce [Müstesna]

A tip off had drawn their attention to a small abandoned town on the edge of the desert, but it was curiosity that had led them to drive out there to see it for themselves. Pulling up to what once would have been a bustling high street, the hairs on her neck began to bristle. It was as if this place had stopped in time; the shop fronts still showing the special offers of the day and the restaurant's awnings still extended to shelter customers from the hot sun. But it was empty, derelict; a forgotten place that would remain lost in history.

When lockdown began Bologna-based label Random Numbers were forced to postpone all their forthcoming releases, but in its stead they began working on a V/A compilation which brings together some of their favourite producers from across Europe, also offering them support during the Covid-19 pandemic. Made up of 14 tracks, that move through slow organic rhythms and sludgy electronics, the release titled Parallel Routes features the likes of Heap, BSS (Luigi of Beesmunt Soundsystem), Anatolian Weapons, Front De Cadeaux and our pick from BXP.
