Into the Deep

Dark Melodic Techno - Part 1

Marcel Dettmann | Lightworks

Produced slowly and meticulously over the last 12
months, these seven tracks are the closet thing we've
had to a new album from Andy Stott since the release
of his debut full-length Merciless five years ago.
Taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent
noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mindtricks
of Arthur Russell to the slowhouse of Kassem
Mosse, from the alternate VHS realities of James
Ferraro and Jamal Moss to the Linn Drum classics of the
vintage Prince era - these seven tracks create their own
pace and agenda, largely shying away from the
dancefloor in favour of something more complex and
hard to define.
Following on from the tribal malfunctions of opening
intro Signature, New Ground heads into a chasm of
layered loops, creating a decimated and re-wired funk
template coloured in with frayed percussion and
dislodged vocal samples. North To South starts off from
similar ground but adds a shuffling vibe at a deceptively
intoxicated 110 bpm.
Intermittent is something altogether different, taking
perfectly formed Boogie templates and screwing with
them until nothing quite fits, brittle elements floating in
and out of time yet somehow keeping it together,
before Dark Details delivers the most dancefloor
compatible six minute stretch of the set, all clanging
stabs and dense percussion, somewhere between
Shackleton and Bam Bam.
Execution and Passed Me By end things off on a slowed
down tip, the former deploying an anaesthetised and
padded 4/4 template sunk deeper into the abyss by
deformed, time-stretched vocals, the latter ending off
proceedings with a more delicate palette, letting go of
all that pent-up emotion with nothing but that rumbling
low-end and some strings for company.

All sounds came out of my traveling. This is short stories or moments and episodes of my life that became memories. Usually I take my recorder with me when traveling. The sounds (voices, sounds of nature, streets, music instruments, etc.) I bring after that are like photos from my camera. Even better! They are more 'alive'. The sounds that I used for the tracks came from India. You can see it from titles. All what I did with the sounds is added some instruments and melodies to put some emotions.

Yuka - First Zoom [SS19]

"The name is 'Umrao is Waiting' because all the recorded sounds that I used in this track I recorded on the way to Umrao's house. Umrao is an indian girl. She is a friend of mine. Once she invited me and friends - Oliver from France and Fernando from Argentina to visit her family. We didn't know the way to her house, well we had a map but… it took a long time. It was a long long way … and it was raining and in the end... that day Umrao was waiting for a long time, but we didn't come... During that time I was traveling around india and my recorder was always with me. So the sounds with voices and rain and others remind me about the story. That’s why I named the track like this." - Yuka

Rapid Eye Movement is an interesting new label project that start things off with a wonderful wax entry from the owners themselves known as VII Circle.

The launch release Archetype has a deep and soulful core, where the original tracks are full of atmosphere and emotion. Subtle, moody and stripped back allowing elements to breathe, they hold up to the notion that less is more.

The first of two remixes is from Amsterdam based Keith Carnal who brings his Midas touch and to no surprise, delivers the goods.

Farrago is a name change of a Belgian artist who is really stepping up to the plate and showing his worth. His take on “Alpha” was our choice for this DT:Premiere as he throws caution to the wind and makes a storming rework. Creating a perfect storm of tough beats and harmonic synth lines, the eerie and gothic style will definitely pick up a dedicated following of Techno heads…

Launched last year, the Spanish label has released music by Kas:st, Phara & Border One and Manent on various artist packages, not to mention remixes from Farrago, Keith Carnal and AWB. Rapid Eye Movement now invites four techno stalwarts to remix tracks from VII Circle and Memorial Home’s ‘Split EP’, including Staub resident and OSF producer Nur Jaber, Clergy and Planet Rhythm’s Wrong Assessment, Soma artist Edit Select and Affin regular Reggy Van Oers. With this the label confirms that quality and free-minded artistry are the key pillars of the platform’s curation philosophy.

First up, Nur Jaber delivers trance-inducing modulations and esoteric atmospheres through uplifting lead- lines and euphoric 303 synth sounds in her remix of ‘Metaphysical Functions’

Victor Ruiz lands his Debut EP on Drumcode.

Victor first released on Drumcode last year on their most recent edition of the famous A-Sides Vol.7 compilation with his colossal track ‘Pulso’. Victor has been relentless when it comes to producing absolutely huge sounding tracks, which are heavily suited to the big club room vibe. This May he steps up for his debut EP on Drumcode with ‘Nimbus’.

The title track ‘Nimbus’ marked an important milestone in his life, his arrival to Berlin, his new home. Due to the lack of studio space and set up, he made Nimbus entirely with headphones and laptop. A piercing track with a punctuated kick drum that cuts through the mix, alongside some industrial tones which build an eerie tension. A track that really sits on the darker side of the progressive techno world.

Victor explains that this release is “very much a mix of old and new” representing two stages of his life. ‘Unveil’ was a track he produced back in Sao Paulo, when day dreaming of his move to Europe. A chunky low end combined with big percussion that makes it more of a heady introspective track on the release. It most definitely shows a more experimental side Victor but is welcomed and makes for a thunderous dancefloor track.
