Grid 6th release is a unique one from Londoner Joe Arthur AKA @kincaidofficial, comprising of six completely mind-blowing tracks, brimming with sublime sound design.

With everything from foley and footsteps, to tempo changes and analogue synthesis, there is a complete spectrum that is fully apparent here. Many styles that Kincaid has already demonstrated via labels like Well Street Records, Banoffee Pies & Accidental Meeting.

This release has a slightly deeper, introspective feel to it though. All the tracks were written within a week in February last year, deep in a lockdown. “It was a particularly difficult time for me, and the record reflects that, each track representing a catharsis with different issues”

It culminates into an incredibly personal and beautiful release, with frequent samples of memories featuring family & friends that relate to specific places and moments for Joe.

Welcome in the Cotswolds, near Bristol.

Tracklist :
01 Sudden Shifts In Perspective

04 Fall On Your Sword

Premiere: No Sir 'Surface Gage'

XTCLVR, the brainchild of Ukrainian sound artist and audio producer Artem Diachenko from Buchan near Kyiv, is set to release a new album titled 'INVERSE' on Standard Deviation. XTCLVR cinematic soundscapes have been featured in Standard Deviation’s audiovisual project 'Ridne' showcased at the CTM Festival in Berlin, ICA London and La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris. Known for his deep involvement in Kyiv's underground music scene, Artem is also a key member of the Pep Gaffe and Ejekt collectives, representing a fresh wave of Ukrainian independent artists dedicated to alternative and experimental sounds.

XTCLVR's music is characterized by deep, enveloping ambient passages and sharp synthesizer elements that often transform into hip-hop and dub bass lines. The name XTCLVR (ecstasy lover), created in 2019, humorously echoes with the techno culture.

'INVERSE' unveils a different facet of XTCLVR’s sound, with heavier and more aggressive tones. The traditional genres dissolve, and a grotesque tone draws the listener into a surreal, chimeric journeyThe album blends rich synthesizers and post-club polyrhythms with euphoric, upbeat elements, maintaining his distinctive style. Written throughout 2022-2023, the tracks on 'INVERSE' reflect a time of emotional instability and a dream-like state: is this all for real? The music features liquid sonic textures that escalate into distorted synths, fractured noisescapes, and eerie melodies. A standout track, 'FEEL ME', poses a bold inner dialogue, questioning reality itself.

'INVERSE' will be released on Standard Deviation on the 12th of July 2024.

As Portland's @universal-broadcast prepares for the launch of their next release, Cracked Reflextion by Kagami Smile, local @auscultation lends support with a dreamy rework.

Blending the atmosphere of avant modernist @kagamismile with the subliminal beat of his Auscultation project, producer Joel Shanahan constructs a spatial shuffle, uplifting into sonic ether. Joel's involvement in the release, including this remix and the mastering of the album, helped to shape the record overall.

Peace Portal is pleased to share this first listen of the remix, and to share some of Joel's thoughts on the release. Interview available on the Peace Portal website:
