Temporal Variation VA001 [TV001] - [Previews]

Carl Finlow keeps on keepin’ on. Not only is Finlow one of the most respected names in electro, a producer who boasts a sprawling catalogue that takes in a wide variety of aliases, but he’s also spent recent years establishing himself as a mainstay for Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit label. Soft Robotics, the new EP from Finlow’s Silicon Scally project, is the fifth Silicon Scally release in five years to boast one of CPU’s instantly-recognisable black-and-white covers.

The reason that Silicon Scally and CPU keep linking up is simple; they’re a perfect fit for one another. Central Processing Unit has established itself as a haven for post-Drexciya producers since launching in 2012, and there are few artists better than Finlow at building on the Detroit group’s sound. The union bears fruit once more on Soft Robotics, an EP of lithe machine-funk jams that will both do damage in the dance and also reward more concentrated home listening.

Things begin at a steadier speed than one might expect. Rather than barrelling off with the kind of sinewy roller one associates with the CPU name, Soft Robotics’ title-track takes things at mid-pace. The groove reveals itself without hurry, Silicon Scally adding or subtracting elements - twitchy modular loops, pensive pads, the occasional blurt of low-end - atop the chugging bass/drums groove. It’s a track which wins you over with guile rather than force.

As the name of subsequent cut ‘Jitters’ intimates, this one picks things up a little after ‘Soft Robotics’. The tempo is higher here, the central beat more nervy. At their cores, though, ‘Jitters’ and ‘Soft Robotics’ are kindred spirits. Here, another slyly insistent bit of drum programming comes swirled up with all sorts of extraterrestrial tones, from little nuggets of melody supplied by the keys to electrifying synth stabs and percussive squelches.

Things limber up further still on first B-side ‘Spin Ratio’. The track’s 808 kicks are punchier than those of the A-side jams, and there’s a dizziness to the bass tone which gives ‘Spin Ratio’ an intriguingly off-kilter feel. Atop the booming beat we find ourselves hypnotised by cells of melody and harmony interlocking or moving apart - particularly the staccato module at the track’s heart. Sure enough, ‘Spin Ratio’ is the Soft Robotics joint which cleaves closest to Drexciya, invoking other Detroit disciples like Jensen Interceptor in the process.

After Soft Robotics picks up speed in the middle, closer ‘Super Fluid Tones’ brings us back to where we started. This track returns to the more measured delivery of the record’s opener - there’s a steady pulse to the drums, and once again Silicon Scally packs the mix with so many intriguing whizzes, bangs, blips and blurts that it’s impossible not be won over by this tune’s construction. ‘Soft Robotics’ and ‘Super Fluid Tones’ bookend Soft Robotics very nicely, and Silicon Scally’s smart pacing gives the EP a lovely ebb and flow.

The ever-excellent Carl Finlow drops a Silicon Scally release via Central Processing Unit for the fifth year running. Like its predecessors, Soft Robotics is an excellent and deftly-crafted collection of modern machine-funk.

I like that you are not obsessed with me,
I like that I have no obsession either,
And not for once in the eternity
The heavy earth beneath our feet will wither
I like I can be funny and be free,
Be careless with words and never bother
To be betrayed by tide of blush when we
Brush with our sleeves when passing one another.

I also like that in my company
You’re confident enough to hug the other,
You don’t foretell infernal suffering
To me for being kissed by other lovers.
I also like you never call in vain
The sweet inflection of my name, my sweetie
And that we’ll never live to see the day
When wedding bells hail us with nuptial greetings.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart
For loving me so much quite unawares:
For nightly peace that you will never thwart,
For twilight dates that can not be more scarce,
For moonlight walks that we will never start,
And for the sun above that'll never wear us,
For you, alas, who’re not obsessed with me,
For me, alas, with no obsession either.

DT PREMIERE: RTNH - Vibrant Velocity [Resonant Echoes] (2023)

The third KRI Records release features the infamous Italo Moderni label boss Adrian Marth joining forces with the Italian EBM master Diana Berti (Violet Poison) and it's a belter. 

Warm and punchy analog beats are spiced with haunting melodies and sinister pads that will break even the toughest of ravers. Sturdy EBM-ish, dark italo and wave production is cushioned with Adrian's mysterious vocals adding yet another layer to a diverse EP accompanied by two heavy-weight remixes.

Magic Fantasia is reimagined as a dirty electro firecracker by Chupacabras (L.I.E.S.) while Panoramix Forest is transformed into a commanding EBM march by Chino (Pinkman).

Think of Dario Argenti walking into a dark club at 3 AM ...

Møntero - Vertical Gravitation EP @montero86

Welcoming Møntero for his 'Vertical Gravitation’ EP, this selection establish textured sharp sonorities that dig around twisted sequences exploring the full range of his palette.

Bringing a sensation of restless movement and a transportive state with a minimal approach this release blends spatial interactions with nuances of light. The artist combines a unique fusion characterized by heavy drum patterns and accurate sound design with a dynamic flow evolution of modern sounds making his identity one of a kind in the scene with a marked abstract personal sonority with subtle mental touches. What a pleasure.
