Coaxed forth like the attention you give when the thunder cracks across a dark sky.
Choosing to flow with the feeling when it hits... into the storm, into the curious vortex.
Memories of warmth, the hint of a light flickering in and calling you.

There is more time between the edges of these grooves. Time for you and I to slip in and discover these places within ourselves.

One hour of sublime and textured slow house - originally aired on The Vortex on c89.5fm in Seattle.

The Quietus on Aphex Twin at Field Day London: "...one of the most head-spinning moments around 30 minutes into his set thanks to a cut from Mark Fell & Gábor Lázár's 2015 record released via The Death Of Rave."

The Wire Magazine (Issue 376, June 2015):

"[...] Formed from an ascetic palette of untreated beats and single-frequency synths, The Neurobiology Of Moral Decision Making flaunts Fell and Lázár's microscopic attention to detail throughout, with each track drawing your attention to a tiny parameter variation. Unlike the pointillist studies of Ryoji Ikeda and Florian Hecker, the results are unexpectedly itchy, funky and exhilarating - as the press release says, this neuroscience is "almost compatible with footwork". Amid all the odd numbered time signatures and disorientating multitimbral drones, the disc works a sincere homage to the intricate web of kick drums and snares of Chicago dance music.

When Autechre and Aphex Twin deployed loops of ball-bearing sounds a decade and a half ago, in "VI Scose Poise" and "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" ,things could slip up and fall flat. This self-conscious IDM was, as Matthew Ingram put it in The Wire 349, "the worst of both worlds, like pipe-smoking breakdancer". Here, in the untitled seventh track, the same rhythmic pattern spawns five minutes of compelling material, a rapid dancefloor cut in which Fell's beat suddenly drops midway through, leaving Lázár's synth flickering alongside a flurry of invisible trainers. The album retains a focus on the danceable, at least until the 12 minute finale, whose strobing and pitched-up snares from the highest bpm of the entire set. Like Hans Christian Andersen's gory tale of the red shoes, this flurry of hyper-rhythmic noise finally passes the bounds of footwork altogether, pointing towards a mechanical state in which human dance is impossible. [...]"

Resident Advisor:

"Rave deconstruction has been back in the spotlight lately. Established figures like Russell Haswell and Mark Fell are in high demand from young labels like Diagonal and Liberation Technologies. And a new generation of musicians are following in their footsteps, taking the conventions and materials of dance music and reshaping them in weird and wonderful ways. Lee Gamble, a self-professed Editions Mego fanatic, puts techno under the microscope. Lorenzo Senni pens bizarre sonic essays on trance. Budapest's Gábor Lázár, meanwhile, fires out machinegun patterns of abrasive synth tones, transforming a single eardrum-scraping rave sound into a study on the psychedelic properties of the dance floor. Music this intensely minimalist is difficult to get right. It risks draining its subject of the qualities that make it so exciting, or else prioritising concept over a musically engaging outcome. Lázár's productions have been improving in this respect, but it's on this collaborative album with Mark Fell that he makes a major breakthrough. [...]" 

Norman Records:

"If you already know Gábor Lázár’s music then you’re probably already a Mark Fell fan and so you won’t be surprised that this collaboration between them has yielded what has to be some of the most rhythmically radical and seizure-inducing futurist electronica being made on planet Earth right now.[...]"

Bleep:

"On The Neurobiology of Moral Decision Making, the duo deliver 10 pieces of off the grid, unsyncopated mastery, deconstructing of the steadfast preconceptions of dance music through a suite of constantly shifting time signatures, sporadic claps and sterile, modernistic melody. Such production methods obliterate the deeply rooted notions of rhythm, ushering in a new age of dance floor exploration.[...]"

A Psychic Yes - Spacemaker [Tech Startup]

The museum was full of beautiful old artefacts and ancient relics from an era long ago. Dinosaurs hung disjointed by scattered bones upon string from the ceiling, a shell of the great noble monsters they once were in another life whilst a marble sweeping staircase led upwards towards ancient paintings and ornaments. The empty hall was deadly silent under the peace of the midnight hour, only the tapping of feet upon the floor could be heard in the depth of history. It was delicate and pristine. 

Tech Startup is a newly founded label run from Seattle, it is being distributed by Rubadub and the first release is a strong statement of intent from a new face who produces under the guise of A Psychic Yes.

PREMIERE: A Psychic Yes - Delicated [Tech Startup]

Sheets of rain in front of your face illuminated by a headlamp. A compressed world where you must journey inwards to find your true expressive self. 

Installment one of the Spirit Ventures mix series is made as the companion piece for deep winter in motion. Run a misty trail, walk a glowing urban street, light up a dance floor, or wash them dishes so clean with a radiant heart. Forever in/forever out. Be excellent to yourself and to each other this winter.

With Love,
Citra Sage

Spirit Ventures 1: Drifting Mists

Amber sunlight sent our shadows bouncing around odd rock formations and otherworldly trees and we ran through the canyon and out into the open desert.
There is a feeling of having dropped into another era when cruising through Joshua Tree. While rounding a corner into another grove of spiny trees two ravens took flight, and somewhere between my periphery and my imagination they morphed into flying reptiles from long ago. There's plenty of space and time for the weird while rhythmically loping across the loose pebbles and dirt of SoCal desert. I've had the energy I absorbed there with me since then. I'm excited to pass it along to you. 

Installment two of the Spirit Ventures series is made as the companion piece for spring and inspired by a March trip to Joshua Tree. Many of the tracks within echoed through my mind while crossing that arid and beautiful place. Take it and run, take it and dance. Let your wild side out!

In Spirit,
Citra Sage
