For EYX008 Early Reflex introduces Brooklyn (NY) based artist, producer and DJ Laenz debuting on the label with the eerie sonic world from her new EP ‘Undue Valence’.

Laenz has an approach to production that is closer to a surveyor of textures and oddities, processing observations informed by the complexities of evolving and eroding infrastructures as well as any corresponding personal entanglements.

Inspired by the physical and intangible infrastructure underlying within the experienceable world, the release results in a five-tracker where the American producer translates these patterns into an unprecedented kaleidoscopic sonic model.

The EP shakes the listeners from its beginning, kicking off with the hooking bass melody, the atmospherical pads and unpredictable drums of Being Into Nothingness. A distant lamenting call signals the start of Suspire, characterised by clashing metalling percussions and an incessant downtempo drum programming. Leopard Gate, anticipated by eerie pad sounds, blends together sweeping laser synthesisers, distorted vocals, a catchy guitar riff all over a head nodding beat. The tension rises in Wetware, an explosive laboratory experiment of field recordings, broken glasses and a hypnotic rhythmic session. Title-track Undue Valence, is an unconventional dance tool which brings together all the infrastructure elements into a formula akin to club music.

Laenz said:
"This project started as a growing fascination with sonic infrastructure – listening to the unseen, taking macroscopic snapshots of proximal landscapes, and translating them to sound. More specifically, I concentrated on the pipeworks that construct many of the more mundane ongoings we experience, whether that's actual underlying systems (plumbing, scaffolding) or the abstract/invisible (cloud computing, radio frequencies). The goal was to sonically transform my personal engagement with such structures while retaining the visual reference in the music."

‘Undue Valence’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 5th August 2022.

[Premiere] Lupone - Ariande (out on WVWV)

Debut album action as @vinakonda steps up for Simo Cell’s @temet-music label.  

Lysergic techno visions and mutant IDM, ‘Yromem’ defies characterisation while looking to the ‘00s for inspiration. Unclassifiable bass innovation for the millennial generation. 

Woven with fwd-facing sound design, our premiere finds the Palin Gen laboratories scientist on a downbeat tip.

‘Yromem’ is out March 17th on TEMƎT.
