Rashad Becker 'Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. I' (PAN 34)
LP/DL - Release Date: July 2013

'Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. I' is a devastating display of potential which ensures a journey unlike any you have encountered.  In the vast world of electronic music, where sounds, signifiers and gesture's are recontextualized to a numbing degree it is increasingly rare and refreshing to encounter a release as perspective distorting as the debut full length release by Rashad Becker.  The album is a masterpiece of focussed non-referential electronic environments.  It is is both warm, alien, paranoid and exhilarating.  Sounds are stretched in the most unusual manner, foreign bodies are frequent and the structure is simply bewildering.  Split into 'Themes and Dances', the 8 tracks guide the listener through Becker's brave new world.  Despite being entirely synthetic there are sounds which appear like a distortion of the world around us, on occasion 'voice-like' sounds are present, elsewhere there appears the sound of cicada's, only these cicada's are made of mercury and swim through time.

The next full length from techno tastemakers Delsin is co-released by the man who made it, Morphosis aka Ra.H aka Rabih Beaini, on his own Morphine Records, as well as by close associate M>O>S. Entitled "What Have We Learned", the Lebanese-born producer’s album is due in April 2011.

Kicking off with the Redshape-channelling, misty, slo-techno march and buried percussive clatter of ‘Silent Screamer’, the album builds through a plethora of grainy landscapes. They’re sometimes dense with a dusty static, sometimes lit up by a female vocal or occasionally paired with a round house kick, but always sound rooted in some real (albeit far off and desolate) world.

Following 2012’s acclaimed Tropical Psychedelics album, Los Angeles
electronic-psychedelic multi-instrumentalist, Eddie Ruscha returns to Emotional
Response with the second collection of cassette recordings.

Dating from tape recordings made between 1996 - 2012, Cosmic Vibrations follows the
Tropical Psychedelics (ERS003) album for the label, this time digging deeper in to the mind of Secret Circuit than the more dance floor inspired sounds heard on last years album Tactile Galactics album for Beats In Space.

Again we glimpse a melting pot of pyschedelia, techno, balearic and ambient to create an
electronic gem, but all done with a wry smile and jesters wink rather than today’s
penchant of moody seriousness.

Life on the US West Coast shines from the album, from opener Out West to She Got Love,
sunshine music that couldn’t be made anywhere else. It’s not all hippy-happy vibes though with Minimal Vibrations and the dub of Straightline taking things in to deeper and instropective territory.

However, all things resonate in Eddie’s analogue meets kitchen sink synthesis. Layer after layer floats across the album to create a smile-inducing whole. Journeying from the folk guitar of Somnambulation to the minimilism of Glass Skeletons, before bidding a fond farewell in the apt, Bells.

This second and final collection of early cassette works is not an end, but a blessing.

Rabih Beaini, the king of Venice is back! Under his synonym Morphosis he delivers two highly original and devastating interstellar house tracks. The opening track of this EP, Running out, is already buzzing through the scene for a while now, with fans like Marcel Dettmann. This track could be best described as a 21st century interpretation of Ron Hardy’s raw and uncompromised Music Box sound. The resemblance is not in copying Ron Hardy’s sound, but in creating a similar atmosphere. Running out is unconventional, extremely powerful and out of this world. The flipside holds another explosive epic called Musafir, meaning voyager in Arabic. In this track Morphosis joins forces with saxophone player Ralf Altrieth. Ralph’s eery saxophone stabs are dubbed over a rough baseline and devastating industrial beats. The dark and haunting atmosphere of this track echoes the productions of Kenny Larkin and Kevin Saunderson. Morphosis is known from his numerous productions on his own imprint Morphine.

‘Preternity’ is a vinyl that collects together four of the most dynamic artists in electronic music delving into tracks from Dadub’s forthcoming album ‘You Are Eternity’. Dadub’s album positions itself as part of an eternity which is forever recurring and in this context Lucy, Lakker, Rrose and Kangding Ray’s remixes emerge as parallel versions of the original tracks. Revolving around the axis of ‘You Are Eternity’ the artists use analogue machines and digital devices to either encode or decode Dadub’s vision.

Lucy tackles A1 reconfiguring ‘Death’. He turns Dadub’s musings on mortality into a malevolent dub tale. Lakker take on the swaggering ‘Path’ and break it down, they add a knotty industrial edge and metallic splinters. The error codes that ring in the background give that feeling that this ‘Path’ leads to the site of a disaster. In Lakker’s hands this track has undergone a malicious mutation. The flip side of the record is opened by Rrose, who ratchets up the BPM and creates a decidedly dystopian new configuration of ‘Life’. Gone is the sample from the original and instead the track exists in a whirling, cyclical realm. The final rethinking comes from Kangding Ray who dissolves ‘Existence’ further into a dripping, aqueous state. Muffled, shrouded sounds come into the fore swarming ever closer to your inner ear drum and the track is warmed by seriously deep frequencies.

SA016 is preoccupied with sounds that point to our most basic assumptions. It’s a collection of tracks that are determined to ask questions even if they can’t really be answered. All four artists selected the Dadub track that they wanted to remake, and what has been pressed to vinyl are part instinctive reconfigurations and part reflected rethinkings of that source material. This vinyl is a unique look at the processes of four of electronic music’s most keen experimenters and a moreish taste of what’s to come from Dadub’s
debut album, ‘You Are Eternity’.
