Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Laertes - The Immortal [Lykos Records]

taken from: Laertes - Titanomachia EP [LYKOS IV]
release date: Oct 30th, 2020

"In ancient Rome, Consuls held two strategic roles: exercising authority over all the public affairs of the city and accompanying the legions in their military campaigns.
!Lykos Records gave this role to Artist Laertes, born Gianluca Meloni. Ambassador of sound of Rome, Laertes has been one of the pioneers of the deeptechno genre. After establishing in Italy as producer, live performer and mastering engineer, he exported his aesthetics all around the world.
Titanomachia is the title of Laertes‘ new work inspired by Hesiod‘s Theogony. The artist tells through aggressive and groovy sounds one of the bloodiest wars in Greek mythology, Zeus leading the Olympian gods versus Chronos and the Titans.
Chaos throws us into the swirl of battle. The repetitive sound of the synth bass sequence alludes to the sound of spears broken on shields, while pads and strings charge the entire track with tension.
The narration continues in a daring succession of loops and hypnotic rhythms, with the second track The Immortal. Strident bleeps and incessant percussions and rhythmic patterns characterize the progressive crescendo.
The description of the battle changes with Worg, who proposes his version of Chaos. The story of the battle is entrusted to the evolution of lashing metallic effects that recall the lightning of the father of all Gods. Psyk closes the chronicle of the epic battle with the adaptation of The Immortal. 
The kick recalls war drums that galvanize the troops on battlefields. The artist evokes the heroic spirit with powerful and thunderous sounds.
• Homo Homini Lupus •"

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Laertes - The Immortal [Lykos Records]

Today we are reaching another milestone, our 10th podcast! This month we give you the pleasure of listening to Lucien Biscop, DJ and producer currently based near London. 

Lucien Biscop is an artist who developed strong interest in music, art and culture from an early age. Having played the violin for many years, and interacting with music through multiple mediums, it was only the beginning of a life-long journey in music. He entered the electronic music world a few years ago when he discovered the underground scene and started to regularly visit events. Those experiences narrowed down a lot his musical taste, and guided him further in the discovery and understanding of that culture, and in a way made him grow up musically.

Following his instincts and undeniable passion for music, Lucien ended up taking DJ lessons with Mantas at BAD Become a DJ, a studio based in London and run by Mantas, Egle, and Katie, who are the crew that later on created the legendary ‘’On The 5th Day’’ events at Corsica Studios in London. Lucien became a resident at OT5D and that was the beginning of his artist life. 

Having the chance to play alongside some of his heroes, the residency was a great learning experience for him:
‘’I learned a huge amount during that time, opening for many different artists really helped me understand that during a night, as a DJ, it is not just about me, and that I was part of a bigger thing, a piece of the puzzle. In a way it would humble my approach towards music selection, to respect and introduce properly the headliners, whilst still having a sound/style true to myself, and also enjoyable for the crowd. In my mind the job and responsibilities of a resident are much more difficult than headliners on the night. I have been to other events where this was amazingly done, and some, where the headliners had to save the night because the vibe set before them was not suiting.’’
With a wide taste in music, Lucien’s sound, however, can be narrowed down to the deep and driving spectrum of techno, as well as more experimental compositions. After producing for several years and learning the art and craft of music making, earlier in 2020 he released his ‘’Morning Still’’ EP featuring a remix by Stainslav Tolkachev. 

The future for Lucien is bright and it includes a lot of productions and new challenging projects like a live set or more experimental ideas brought to life. For his set at Nachtblumen, he used a combination of vinyl and digital setup, and relied on emotions and feelings to guide him through the impeccable track selection which resulted in a beautiful, grounded and deep journey! Enjoy!

DVS1 – Beta Sensory Motor Rhythm (Digital Album)

From the perceiving body to the liminal space of the dream-state, audible frequencies send a neurofeedback message. A paradigm-shift is activated in the mind. A movement from the present hour toward the realm beyond measure.

The pulse of a synthesized kick. The distance between evolving rhythms of time & place left behind. Sensations created in forgotten corners of the consciousness are distant, yet familiar. A low-penetrating drum beat pulsates. Hypnotic hallucinations reveal detailed layers, oscillating from the back to the forefront of the dream. Synth programming yields abstract ideas into concrete images. Lucid percussion arranged to paint a deeper shade of architecture in this future-memory-system.

Be aware that sensations resonate into imagination without warning. The observer extends from rational thought to a deeper state of understanding. The mind-body experience gives way to a transient response from a shock wave to the steady state. The senses reach entrainment.

The body and mind eventually sync.

DVS1:

Best known as one of techno’s most prominent voices, DVS1 has dedicated his lifework to sound as an immersive experience: whether it be through his Wall of Sound installations or a night behind the decks, DVS1 is committed to protecting the values and ethos of the dance music ecosystem through his work and words.  Born in St. Petersburg, Russia and raised in Minneapolis, DVS1 cultivated his unique craft over 25 years ago, promoting & DJing parties in the Midwest rave scene of the 1990s.  A true “beat & rhythm addict” on both techno and house floors around the globe, Khutoretsky’s DJ style is a mixture of technical prowess and thoughtful selection. He is an active resident at both Berghain/Panorama Bar & Bassiani and Label-owner of HUSH & sub-label Mistress Recordings. He partnered and founded Berlin’s 4D Sound space MONOM and most recently started S.O.S. (Support Organize Sustain), an initiative to preserve the future of the dance community in collaboration with other innovative thinkers in the electronic music scene.

It’s time for the 11th and last episode in our podcast series for 2020. Today we are happy to present you the German-Brazilian artist Lukas Bodenstorfer also known as Svar. 

Lukas’ interest in electronic music begins at early age, back in the city of Inglostadt in Germany, where he grew up. Driven by curiosity and desire to learn more about music, Lukas started to venture into nightlife, and got his first turntables at the age of 18 and learned how to play with vinyl only. After some time, he got his first gigs in his hometown. Due to his undeniable talent, he was quickly noticed and promoters from the area started booking him, which led him to often play in Nürnberg as an opening act for many established artists such as Abdulla Rashim. 

Deriving inspiration from artists like Function, Mike Parker and Regis, Svar’s style can be described as deep, dark and trippy, but also high energy and dance-oriented. 

Naturally, Svar made a move to Munich, where he immediately got involved into the techno scene and continued to pursue his interests in DJing. In addition to Lukas’ passion for the deep, trippy and challenging techno, he has incredible interest and love for ambient and experimental music. After meeting like-minded Javier Bähr, a new exciting project was born – a monthly radio show on Radio8000 with a full focus on ambient and experimental sounds. Since this is a pure love project with a lot of dedication from both artists, it was only natural that the next step was to turn it into a label. That Is how Rohstoff Records was born, and the radio show keeps happening monthly under that name up to this day.

A place that made a significant impact on Svar’s musical taste and DJ approach was the legendary Mixed Munich Arts (MMA) Club. As a regular visitor there, he got to know a lot of people which created the opportunity for him to become a resident DJ there and also get involved as a social media manager. As a resident at MMA, he played many different slots: warm up, closing, in the Halle, in the smaller room, and even ambient sets! It was a very important time for his artistic development, as he managed to explore different sides of himself due to the ever-changing and challenging responsibilities he got there. Lukas’ involvement in the local scene did not stop at MMA. He was often invited to play other clubs in the area like Harry Klein, Rote Sonne, and BLITZ. 

A few years later he made a move to Berlin, where he is currently based. After successful Berlin debut at Griessmühle, in April 2019 he was invited to play at Tresor New Faces. After this event Lukas shifted his focus a bit and decided to take time in order to really see what he would like to do further musically. Himself and nuúm, who is another Berlin-based DJ had an idea for an event series Ungesund, but sadly the global circumstances changed a lot, forcing them to put the project on hold. In the mean time Svar is exploring his newfound passion for analog photography and is keeping the reigns of the Rohstoff Records radio show. 

Press play and enjoy a little dance at home to this classic club set, to mark the end of this dark year, and celebrate the promise of a brighter future in 2021!

Nørbak - Land Of Sin 
Flesh To Ashes LP [WU66LP / Warm Up Recordings]

Produced by Artur Moreira aka Nørbak
Mastered by Carlos Koschitzky at Koschitzky-Mastering
Artwork by Acid Hazel
Released by Warm Up Recordings from Spain
Release Date : January 29th. 2021
Format - Vinyl and Digital

The portuguese scfi maker Nørbak is back home after his Faktor EP from January 2019. These non clubbing days look like the perfect scenario for listening to long distance works, so here you have this brand new album to enjoy at your private soundsystem.

Flesh to Ashes will be released both physically and digitally, with an extra track on the downloadable version.

Nørbak is well known for his precision and deepness, always pushing forward production wise, focusing on the details and sound design aspects.

The album gravitates between beatless cuts, broken beats, profound exercises and virtual dancefloor weapons.

Intro and Camera (the extra digital track) belong to the first category, The third morality is the broken cut, Flesh to ashes and Land of sin explore the deepest side of techno and the rest of the tracklist is about peak time tracks.

The overall feeling while listening to this album is travelling out there where no gravity is the mood, swinging among stars and constellations, landing on undiscovered planets … a landscape with no viruses or facemasks or repression.

A collection of attemporal tracks that will surely pass the test of time and be ready to be playable whenever this nightmare ends.
