Invalid Opinion

Artyem - Invalid Opinion (Asmodeo Remix)

Fuelled by an endless fascination with sound in all its forms, OTON has spent over a decade navigating the vast spectrum of electronic music through producing, mastering, and DJing — with live performance at the heart of his explorations in all sorts of mental and hypnotic techno.

In 2021, he launched Alliance Club, initially as a platform to share his own music with a growing audience. Today, the project has evolved into an independent collective, party series and imprint, known for its integrity and support of alternative artists and scenes.
After veering away from his earlier sonic territories of break, psy, tribe and mental, OTON unveiled his LP New Forms of Silence ( March 2025), marking a decisive shift in his artistic direction. This autumn, he returns with its anticipated sequel, New Forms of Silence 2, exploring the deeper and dubbier side of techno, with a clear taste from the classic roots pushing the sound design ever further, always with his own signature released via Alliance Club.

2025 also sees the debut of OTON’s ambitious new project: the New Forms of Silence A/V Show. A natural extension of his practice as a highly visual artist, the performance integrates years of sonic experimentation with a collection of restored vintage gear — synths, FX racks, drum machines and more pushed to their most vivid limits. Collaborating with visual artist Onohno, the show unfolds as a technicoloured odyssey, seamlessly blending hypnotic live sound with immersive visuals.

ACCENTEP008 - GËINST - Shape Your Accent EP 
_____________________________________________ 
Autumn has arrived, the leaves are falling, nature is beginning its new life cycle and we have a new very special opus of the ACCENTEP series to present you ...
 
The guest artist here is one of the new figures of the international deep techno scene. 
The talented french producer Gëinst offers us here a journey between two worlds, that of rhythm, grain, dance and the second, that of melody, harmony, field-recording and therefore landscape, interior as real. 

These are essential elements to apprehend the work of Gëinst, 
who manages to realize in a ceaseless mixture of varied and living materials, at the crossroads of genres and styles, a very singular musical identity. 

__________________________________________________________________ 

Air Nomads opens this opus with this magical harmony that gently pushes the listener on a unique sensory journey, 
Iridescent micro-rhythms combine with chlorophyllic rhythms and one, and give a sweet moment of emphasis. 

The Nameless Hunter then takes us on a walk to the edge of the primary forest. 
The hypnotic poly-percussions and spatialized elements gradually reveal this lush plant environment, surrounded by unknown animals, gradually transported into a state of trance. 

Shape Your Accent opens the B side with this piece that redefines the contours of the abstract techno contemporary, minimalism and hypnotism are the watchwords here, colorful geometric patterns collide to give life to an abstract and magnetic choreography. 

Stroll The Swamp concludes this sonic adventure in the ethereal space of our subconscious, on the border of the real and the dream, in the imaginary and onirism, like a kaleidoscopic vision that scrolls, like a flash, struck by a spotless techno rhythm.

ACCENTEP008 (PREVIEW) - GËINST - Shape Your Accent EP

Straight from Northern Italy, Alessio Meneghello or better known for his moniker Alan Backdrop, has been alluring his listeners through his productions characterised with deep atmospheres and a diversity of the genre. Simply put, Alan’s fascination is a reflection of his passion for music and inspiration he gets from the world around.
He is the kind of musician that certainly enjoys his studio jam sessions—this is one of the main reasons why he spends most of the time in his studio filled with synthesizers, recording and experimenting with the aim to capture and create his exceptional sound.
Alan Backdrop released his debut album, VR Plan, in 2013 on Prologue, an album that includes some of his pioneering tracks, such as “Cherber,” “Ere,” and “Siere.” While working on his first album, Alessio was simultaneously producing other singles, and EPs such as Excursion A and Excursion B published on Motoguzzi Records, Shan EP on Ekar, and Salko on Enklav. Shortly, he managed to create his second album, Eria, released in 2014 on Ekar Records, which best reflects his ever-growing deep productions.
One of Alessio’s latest projects is a_000, a project born from the unprompted come across of him and Enrico Rlt, which resulted in the creation of Road to Nauta, a 12’’ EP through Ekar Records. Road to Nauta is one of the works of Alan Backdrop that clearly indicates his long-lasting relationship with Ekar, which is one of the platforms where Alessio released most of his productions.
In addition to spending most of the time in his studio, Alan Backdrop performs in various festivals—the latest in which he performed were Harmony Open Air and Modem Festival— and in different clubs and musical events every once in a while. Fascinated by electronic music and inspired by nature is the best way to describe Alan Backdrop.
