"A striking work of hi-def sound design, which intends to explore the intricacies of the human voice, and the significance that can be found in the oddities and interruptions to be found in our speech patterns." (https://soundcloud.com/djmag)

https://soundcloud.com/rami-abadir's Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat (GEN046) is a collection of gravity-defying tension build-ups and releases, crammed grimey patterns and blasting overdriven kicks setting the stage for an acousmatic, digital treatment of the human voice as a raw sound source. Vocal snippets, elusive traces of dialogs, ghost notes between utterances, modelled or resampled choirs all form the basis of this approach. On these tracks, high definition focused sound beams, charred high-res textures are complemented by intricate drum rolls sizzling, rushing up, bending beyond their breaking point joined by the clang of metallic, synthetic objects colliding, deforming, rupturing.
The release is accompanied by a handful of remixes, including a staggering diagonalization by https://soundcloud.com/frktl, a bass heavy club ready edit by https://soundcloud.com/ice_eyes, a frenetic, bouncy reimagination by https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier and a luminous big drum-powered rendition by https://soundcloud.com/zulimusic.

// https://soundcloud.com/rami-abadir about Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat (GEN046)
“Uh, um, ah, urgh, so, well, I mean, indeed—in everyday conversation, we stutter, pause, prolong a syllable beyond its actual length, sigh, click our tongues and lips, laugh, and repeat. Such interjections utterances and fillers may be considered superfluous to our interactions, even interrupting our flow of ideas. But, if we listen closely, we’ll find them loaded with deeper layers of meaning and affect: hesitation, thrill, discomfort, uncertainty, surprise, shyness, contemplation, or the agonizing search for meaning. 
As I extracted those recurrent utterances from supposedly coherent conversations, and the more I listened to those shards of sound in isolation, I came to the realisation that our semantic exchange has always been fragmented. This overpowering sense of fragmentation inspired a collage structure and infused the production with a deconstructed, dramatic and cinematic sound. In this sense, the collage technique in composition reflects how we construct meaning out of tiny utterances in our speech. “Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat” is a distillation of overlooked communication, implicit expression and elusive meaning, all of which could be reduced in a one-syllable utterance. The end result was a canvas of revisited meaning.
I submitted this work as my graduation project for the MA program “Digital Media” at the University of Arts Bremen.”

Indignant : feeling or showing anger because something is unjust or unfair. The feeling of indignation is nothing new for underground artists struggling to be heard. The current state of the music industry has forced many creatives to straddle a divide between craft and growth, creativity and accessibility, integrity and profit. It seems we all must pick one or the other - but can authentic, boundary-pushing innovation and crowd-pleasing profitability co-exist in one record? Ani Klang’s latest EP seeks to answer this question with six potent tracks packed with progressive hard club energy. Fans of Klang’s previous industry-critical records like ‘Burn the Empire’ will embrace this fearless fusion of hard dance with twisted breaks, ear-tingling textures, and rave-ready vocals grounded by her signature kick drums.

Mike Paradinas doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, having helmed Planet Mu since electronica's breakthrough years while weaving his own idiosyncratic path through various strains of braindance along the way. Still, when he delivers an album it feels like an occasion, and Grush maintains the pace with a spectacular reflection on the broader sonic ideas he's been toying with for nigh on three decades. This album was crafted with live energy in mind - some tracks were written in the aftermath of particular gigs, some were written specifically to be played out - and the arc of the album is intended to evoke the flow of a live set. Along the way his instinct for sparkling melodies and needlepoint drum programming shine through, nailing a vibe between classic nostalgia and restless innovation like only he can.

Listen to "AP2M7" by Nuboid taken from "Imago" LP out on OFF-SWITCH AUDIO

Bandcamp: https://offswitchaudio.bandcamp.com/album/imago-lp

Several years on from his debut album Nomad and after a series of sound-evolving self-releases, Off-Switch Audio are excited to announce the second full-length album from Nuboid. Spanning across a range of genres and tempos Imago LP brilliantly showcases a fully refined style from the UK based producer; a final metamorphosis of the Nuboid sound.
It Comes In Waves atmospherically sets the tone for the LP, introducing crisply saturated tape sonics and harmonically rich retro synths. Pads modulate into a crashing crescendo, teasing ripples of delayed breakbeats above a rumble of cinematic low frequencies and an ethereal accumulation of reverberation FX. This building bed of ambience perfectly makes space for the impactfully percussive beats of AP2M7. With dark moving melodies, sizzling smooth cymbals and subtle hits of bass synth filth, AP2M7 is an absolute weapon for any DJ’s dancefloor artillery.
Oppose The Force then switches things up with authentically old-school rave aesthetics; pitch shifting vox-chops and a slow steady breakbeat work-out to keep the energy moving at pace. In a similar fashion, OGs draws for the acid bass and the drum machine, chopping hardcore vocal slices among punchy and precise electronic percussion hits, all glued together with a tasteful serving of analogue crunch.
Next up, is the distorted four to the floor madness that is Celsius. This is a proper gritty techno stomper; guaranteed heavy hitting material heated up to the maximum degree.
After the eerie interlude of Black Dog, Ode2TS follows up with a dark and rhythmic roller driven by modular style bass pulsations. .5Sleep then returns to the realms of crunchy lo-fi house; a truly emotive musical exploration that, in true album style, morphs fittingly into an interlude...
After introducing the sound palette with epilogue(questionmark), everything evolves into pure jungle rave euphoria with Could It Be. Perfectly chopped and mangled breaks in an elegant and restrained manner, paired with hard hitting 808 subs and that certified soulful vox/pad/piano combo.
Repercussions then reduces the tempo an increment, drawing Imago LP to a close with reflective and chilled out early morning vibes. Skippy four to the floor beats carry playful samples and melodies with one final sprinkling of saturation and cassette-tape character. A great example of Nuboid’s minimal yet strongly stylistic approach showcased throughout the album.
With a beat-tape-like structure akin to his previous work, Imago LP takes a much more varied approach, combining flavours of acid, techno, house and jungle to create a very well rounded and listenable album project. A coherent flow of club bangers and zone out head nodders throughout.
