Following 2020’s 'Point Vacancies', the debut EP from Jamie Paton and Mike Bourne’s collaborative act Metal, the duo return with a trio of dubwise remixes from Mr Paton himself as well as a peak-time stormer from fellow Bristol artist, Hodge. The latter immediately sets the record ablaze with a driving thump, duo of grainy hi-hats and a chalky clap. He layers an anthemic three-chord pad progression, building octaves, peppering in arpeggiated bleeps and articulate lead melodies, then tops it off with a few modular elements that retain the character of the original, before climaxing in true rave fashion. Proper. The following three mixes by Metal’s own Jamie Paton make apparent his sonic obsession — the type of infinite tweaking that sees some artists/producers to the edge of madness, or at the very least satisfies some dragon-chasing addiction. There’s a successive deconstruction from 'Remix' to 'Dubwise' to 'Dubwise II', most notably a reduction of rhythm and drum machinery, but also in general tonality. The melody remains central but is gradually obscured, taking on a less and less recognizable form, and by the end we’re left with a skeleton of the track, quips and cranks, an assembly line of aluminum sheeting punctuated by demented nuts and bolts. As with the previous EP, the sparsity of elements illustrates just how far one can twist aesthetics, proving that self-imposed limitations can often propel an artist’s process and land them somewhere unfamiliar, somewhere foreign, somewhere enchanted.

A2 - Dislocation Climb (Jamie Paton Remix) - SNIPPET

Calma Tensa is a project that was created among slow and dark rhythms that come from other times, with the illusion of learning to merge them with the electronic Underground of today.
It is not aimed at attracting large masses but at that small minority that connects in the same way with this kind of music.

Heart, dance, connection with other worlds ...

 ..you are what you listen to.

Rober Alonso.


Electónica Downtempo, Slow techno,  Dark Disco, Chug, EBM, Acid ...... and everything make me feel something..


Calma Tensa es un proyecto que nace entre ritmos lentos y oscuros que vienen de otros tiempos, con la ilusión de aprender a fusionarlos con el Underground electrónico de hoy.
No va dirigido a atraer a grandes masas sino a esa pequeña minoría que conecta de igual forma con este tipo de música.

Corazón, baile, conexión con otros mundos...

..Eres lo que escuchas.

Part man, part machine, part cockatiel, Cage & Aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. Jamie Paton is a DJ, a one-finger keyboardist, and a pot-tickler. Nigel of Bermondsey is a musician, South London’s finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. Together they are winners of the cosmic lottery.

Our debut studio album, Migration, was released on Prins Thomas' Internasjonal label - on double gatefold vinyl and cd. Some reviews; DJ 8/10, Mixmag 4/5, Blues & Soul 5/5.
