Teqmun - Phototropism EP [SO005]

After a long period of seclusion as the world had been dealing with a global pandemic, Teqmun emerges from the silence delicately with his first-ever EP, Phototropism.

Phototropism is the biological term for the directional response that allows plants to grow or bend towards, or in some cases away from a source of light. And just as plants, this debut EP by the Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Tijmen Blokzijl, grows and bends from soothing ambients towards more percussion-driven compositions that stimulate movement and could be taken straight to the dance floor. Filled with anticipation, colorful synth melodies make way for rhythmic drums and ominous textures, only for it to sweep back to its original state of peace and calmness. 

Already at a young age, Tijmen developed an interest in biology which later on blossomed into a vivid passion for anything plant-related. The balance between his passion for green life sciences and electronic sound design pushes Teqmun’s sound to be constantly shifting between crisp organic synths and grainy electronic tones that keep his music undeniably compelling. As his first ever EP, Teqmun intends to as it were, grow towards the light and into the public eye.

I'm running back to me feeling homesick
soon I might recall the savory flavor
of what will ease me until I'm mellow
I move so the floor beneath me transforms into a flow
does it really matter if I'm loved beloved unloved
if I submerged deep in dirt and died slow
-li al

We breathe in oxygen, transform it into carbon dioxide and breathe out. One simple witness of transforming matter. With this album I became aware of this inevitable movement and my deeply rooted need to live that. So I could not restrict myself any longer not to surrender to it, to the creative flow.
Very new and important to me was to collaborate with such immensely talented artists. It has elevated and transformed my production skills & process. I feel very honored to connect, learn and transform matter - together.

Melo Feat. Tinkah

Despite the efforts of organizers around the world, and the overwhelming disapproval of the international community, Israel continues in their campaign to see the displacement, murder, occupation, and apartheid of Palestinians to its brutal end with the help of the USA and UK.

As artists operating in the West, we call unequivocally for an end to this violence, for justice in the Palestinian struggle, and for the US and UK’s divestment of political and financial capital from the genocidal Israeli state.

We gather this music to offer our solidarity, make our position clear, and encourage others to continue advocating and organizing for the Palestinian liberation struggle.

All proceeds for this compilation will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (www.map.org.uk).

POLAAR is excited to announce the upcoming release of SNKLS, an artist who is redefining the boundaries of footwork and IDM. A collaborator since the label's inception, SNKLS crafts tracks where fragmented percussion intertwines with IDM and dub influences, drawing inspiration from the techniques of concrete music. His style is marked by a minimalist approach, where each element is pushed to its extreme, adding an introspective dimension to his compositions.

With « ELEMENTS », his new four-track EP, SNKLS makes his most powerful statement. Each piece plunges into a realm of bleep and dub techno, while others explore gong sounds and repetitive motifs, subtly evoking traditional Eastern music and minimalism. Building directly on the foundation laid by his previous EP, **Half Horn**, SNKLS skillfully plays with our mental space, transforming this listening experience into an immersive and obsessive journey that is undeniably modern.

Pour Vous

This track is a unique, atmospheric take on a historical moment, using the chill, percussive sound of new-school breaks to explore a profound dialogue. It's an imaginative musical piece that reimagines the conversation between Oskar Schindler and Amon Göth about the true meaning of power. Instead of brute force, the song focuses on the power of forgiveness and the strength found in choosing mercy.

The chill breakbeat rhythm provides a calm, almost meditative backdrop, allowing the sampled dialogue to take center stage. The relaxed, percussive style creates a feeling of quiet contemplation rather than high-octane energy, making it a powerful and introspective listen. Fans of new-school breaks will appreciate the intricate rhythms and deep bass, while anyone can connect with the powerful message. It’s an intellectual and emotional journey, blending a classic historical narrative with a modern, laid-back sound.

That Is Power

"Is it linear, meaning it moves in only one direction, or is it cyclical, evolving around repeated cycles, such as seasons? "

Porter Brook steps up with a hard hitting uk techno, bass & jungle infused EP, remixed by Paradoxe Club's very own De Grandi.
