At least seven planets orbit this ultra cool dwarf star 40 light-years from Earth and they are all roughly the same size as the Earth. They are at the right distances from their star for liquid water to exist on the surfaces of several of them.

Kabal - Vampire Castle EP [Dalmata Daniel // DDD08]

Snippets : https://soundcloud.com/dalmata-daniel/ddd08-kabal-vampire-castle-ep-snippets

"I simply like something that could be likened to the essence or mythology of a genre, which ironically goes against my broader beliefs, because essentialism is something I abhor, but in music as a discipline, it's perhaps innocuous."

Vampire Castle EP by now Prague-based musician Andrej Kabal explores and subverts the framework of a particular genre, its boundaries whether elastic or sturdy. Being constrained by stylistic tropes can be surprisingly liberating, and perhaps ephemeral too, a mirage. The tracks resulted from spontaneous sessions: from experimenting with text-to-speech to strumming on a guitar. Deeply personal, the EP reflects a specific period of his life.

"These tracks came to life in my room while I was living in Petržalka (a concrete-block district in Bratislava), where I could amazingly listen to music until 4am undisturbed, so I was able to delve into production. I can relive this vibe when I listen to the tracks again. The dimly lit room, me smoking at 5am on the balcony, observing the sleepy Petržalka council estate unrolling in front of my eyes."

The mood of the EP is opaque and mellow, like that fleeting time of the day, where dusk is transposed into dawn; slightly menacing (like a John Carpenter soundtrack, one of Kabal's perhaps more obvious inspirations on this release), with spots of light seeping through.

The title "Vampire Castle" was inspired by Mark Fisher's concept and uses samples from his work. “Individualise and privatise everything”, “essentialise”: we are all doomed indeed, but as Fisher wrote “Outside the Vampires’ Castle, anything is possible.”

Release Info :

SMPL SMPL - Mistika EP (Remixes)

Vilnius, Lithuania-based SMPL SMPL’s Mistika, an EP with a half-dozen original tracks set for vinyl, is simply powerful on its own merit. Tack on five remixes on the digital edition by Francois Dillinger, Ivna Ji, Lloyd Stellar, Jauzus The Shining, and Arsonist Recorder, and it’s now an explosive sonic journey

“Dark & Dangerous” sets the stage for crumpling glitches, distant drones, and heavy bass echoes as far as the eyes can see. “Vapour” provides additional drifting sound vistas, its beats tangled in a maze of brisk breaks and resounding audio production as “Treasures” floats in reverberating ambient-electronic bliss tethered to emotionally melodic strings of life.

The closing remixes offer additional masterful interpretations. Francois Dillinger unfolds a darker, more menacing version of “Crystalization” as Ivna Ji takes “Layers” through Detroit-inspired synths and technoid sound sculptures. Lloyd Stellar’s rendition of “A Quite Place” douses the original in faster-paced mechanics and hard-hitting beatwork. Jauzus The Shining’s “Dark & Dangerous” remix adds turbulent synth strands and rolling low-end—still just as punchy as the original. Closing with Arsonist Recorder’s “Vapour” remix, Mistika succumbs to its ultimate demise. The vaporous electrical notes still intact, Arsonist Recorder applies ample industrial-electro layers of dust and debris, flowing in parallel to the original, and maintaining the EP’s unavoidable magnetic pull.

Layers (Ivna Ji Remix)

TL PREMIERE : SMPL SMPL - Layers (Ivna Ji Remix) [Specimen Records]

PRE-ORDER: https://linktr.ee/suctionrecords

Artists: Lowfish / Solvent
Title: suction001
Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction001 (25th anniversary reissue)
Format: Vinyl 12-inch/Digital EP
Release date: November 11, 2022

2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Suction Records, the Toronto-based electro/IDM label founded in 1997 by two emerging producers, Lowfish (aka Gregory De Rocher) and Solvent (aka Jason Amm), the latter still overseeing the label to this day. The label’s inaugural release was a split Lowfish/Solvent 12”, marking both artists’ debut vinyl appearance. 

Gregory and Jason had known each other since high-school, but a deeper friendship was forged during their university years, after Gregory introduced Jason to early Rephlex releases by Aphex Twin and µ-Ziq. Gregory had been making electronic music in his bedroom for more than a decade, but it was those Rephlex releases that ignited Jason’s passion to do the same. After several years of obsessive gear buying, music making, and playing tracks for each other, Lowfish and Solvent had hit their stride, and their demos even attracted the interest of legendary early IDM labels labels Skam (for Lowfish), and Isophlux (for Solvent). But things were slow-moving in those days — letters, faxes, phone calls… nothing was panning out. So that’s when they decided to start their own label, and put out 300 copies of this 12”, suction001.

The label was heavily inspired by contemporary artists like AFX, Autechre, and Panasonic, but on suction001, those influences collided with their ‘80s synth-pop and industrial roots to create something unique. 25 years later, it still sounds fresh, and like nothing else out there. On suction001, 808 drum machines are run through distortion and breakbeats are chopped and mangled, contrasting with melodic OMD-style leads and catchy synth-pop basslines — a sound the label would refer to as ‘distortion pedal new wave.’ 

Over the past 25 years, Suction’s sound has morphed and evolved, but in recent years has shifted back to it’s original Rephlex-inspired roots. That makes 2022 the perfect year to revisit this wild, 1997 debut, now reissued in a new, expanded edition for it’s 25th anniversary. The reissue adds 2 bonus tracks — a 1999 remix by Detroit electro-punk duo ADULT., along with a previously-unreleased version of Lowfish’s A1 cut, and also features new and improved artwork, including an insert with full label discography. 

Limited to 500 copies, and comes with a Bandcamp download card.

Tracklisting:

A1. Lowfish “Helski Gotenks”
A2. Solvent “Course Hub with Garnish”
A3. Lowfish “Helski Gotenks (version)”
B1. Solvent “Flexidisc”
B2. Lowfish “Your Last Legs”
B3. Solvent “ESP (edit)”
B4. Lowfish “Peanut Butter Castles”
B5. ADULT. vs Solvent “Flexidisc (remix)”

EL003 Exhausted Modern/C C O - Interaction Nr.1: Internal Reflection

EL005 - in process... 

Manifest:
Life is a series of events or outcomes accompanied by their respective state of consciousness: each one of us in search of the truth, in search of oneself, seeking the spiritual path, looking for self-realization, are urged and impelled by hidden causes.
In that laborious search for self-realization, we can make a differentiation between the several ways related with the different levels of inner development.

Demos:
Electro and techno became obsolete musical genres, like many other musical directions that do not have and do not accept cultural aesthetics and melody. If you're considering to send us your music, please take this information into account.
