PREMIERE - Elaina Vierce - Wrong Presence  [MMVA01]

Premiere: La versión única de Swarm Intelligence del techno industrial está de regreso, con la segunda entrega de su sello homónimo, disponible en noviembre.

Ferozmente intensa, dramática y vanguardista, la visión distintiva del techno de Swarm Intelligence le ha ganado un gran número de seguidores entre el verdadero underground de la escena. Siguiendo desde el lanzamiento de su sello, SWRM002, que cuenta con un gran apoyo, es un siguiente paso sorprendente: un testimonio de la tranquila confianza de un artista experto que no teme evitar las normas y forjar su propio camino. Este segundo EP continúa inspirándose en temas distópicos de tecnologías nuevas e imaginadas y su impacto social resultante.
'Critical Signal' se produjo durante la pandemia global y se perfeccionó de forma iterativa durante los años siguientes. Bajos chirriantes y atmósferas tensas se asientan sobre un atronador cuatro al suelo. Su mensaje a la humanidad es tan relevante ahora como lo era entonces: “eres resistente y prevalecerás”. 
En 'Disinformation Era', un paisaje sonoro visceral, sombrío e inquietante puntuado por un ritmo contundente es una metáfora adecuada de la guerra psicológica que se está desatando en el mundo de hoy.

Al abrir la cara B, la edificante gloria de 'Digital Immortality' eleva el tono del lanzamiento. Aquí, los ritmos rotos y con fallas característicos de Swarm complementan hermosas ondas melódicas y una línea de bajo ondulante. La pista imagina una vida futura digital donde, al cargar nuestra conciencia, dejamos atrás nuestros cuerpos. Para cerrar el EP, “Singularity Dawns” es la más libre de las composiciones cinematográficas. Sus ritmos oscuros entrecortados y su secuencia transversal cuentan la historia de una IA que se vuelve consciente de sí misma y descubre su capacidad de sentir.

Escuche exclusivamente "Disinformation Era" por Swarm Intelligence solo en @knifearg SoundCloud.

Premiere: Swarm Intelligence’s unique take on industrial techno is back, with the second instalment on his self-titled label, coming this November.

Fiercely intense, dramatic and cutting-edge, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive take on techno has garnered him a solid following amongst the true underground of the scene. Following on from the
widely supported launch of his label, SWRM002 is a striking next step – a testament to the quiet confidence of a skilled artist unafraid to eschew norms and carve his own path. This second EP
continues to draw inspiration from dystopian themes of new and imagined technologies and their resulting societal impact.
‘Critical Signal’ was produced during the global pandemic, and iteratively refined over the following years. Grinding basses and tense atmospherics sit atop a thunderous four-to-the-floor. Its message to humanity is as relevant now as it was then – “you are resilient, you will prevail”. In ‘Disinformation’ a visceral, bleak and unsettling sonic landscape punctuated by a slamming groove is an apt metaphor for the psychological warfare being unleashed on the world today.

Opening the B-side, the uplifting glory of ‘Digital Immortality’ lifts the tone of the release. Here, Swarm’s signature glitchy, broken beats complement beautiful melodic swells and a rolling bass line. The track imagines a digital afterlife where, upon uploading our consciousness, we leave our bodies behind. Bringing the EP to a close, “Singularity Dawns” is the most freeform, cinematic composition. Its obscure broken rhythms and traversing sequence tells the tale of an AI becoming self-aware and discovering its capacity to feel.

Listen exclusively "Disinformation Era" by Swarm Intelligence only on @knifearg SoundCloud.

Awakening

B.A.R.K - Destruction (c0ca Remix)

OMEN Recordings is proud to present its latest Various Artists (VA) compilation, 'Rituals,' an evocative collection that delves deep into the primal, the hypnotic, and the uncanny. This release promises to take listeners on a journey through the diverse landscapes of modern techno, each track an offering to the ritualistic essence of the dance floor. Featuring six exceptional artists, each with a distinct sonic identity, 'Rituals' is a testament to the label's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring the depths of electronic music.

'Kopfschmerzen' by INCREASED CONTROL opens the compilation with its robotic, razor-like synths and twisted drum patterns, this track is a sonic assault, challenging the listener with its intensity. It's a dark, industrial soundscape that evokes images of dystopian futures and relentless machinery.

'Far Cry' by FAIRGROUND OF TEARS continues with an immersive soundscape that is both hypnotic and atmospheric. This track is a ceremonial invocation, weaving layers of ethereal pads with a pulsating undercurrent that transports the listener into a trance-like state. Its ritualistic vibe sets the tone for the auditory journey that follows.

Next, ADAREN's 'Kill The Scene' shifts gears with a driving pace that propels the compilation forward. This track is a relentless techno anthem, marked by its pounding bassline and intricate percussive elements. The energy is palpable, designed to dominate the dance floor and incite movement, capturing the raw, unyielding spirit of the underground.

'Zeal' by RHYTHM MODULATION takes the listener into a realm of eerie dissonance. The track is characterized by its creepy, discordant elements, weaving a web of tension and suspense. It's a masterclass in atmosphere, building an unsettling yet captivating aura that grips the listener from start to finish.

JANA GREENSTONE's 'Ascension' brings a unique twist to the compilation with its offbeat rhythm and unconventional structure. The track's intricate layers and unexpected turns create a sense of ascension and elevation, as if rising above the physical plane into a higher state of consciousness. It's a cerebral experience that invites introspection and deeper listening.

Closing the compilation, RYNZLER's 'Alea Iacta Est' is a powerful statement of intent. This drone-heavy, buzzy techno track is both imposing and meditative, blending dense textures with a steady, hypnotic rhythm. The title, meaning 'The die is cast,' signifies a point of no return, encapsulating the decisive and transformative nature of the entire compilation.

'Rituals' is a profound exploration of the varied expressions within techno, each track contributing to a cohesive narrative that is as introspective as it is dance-inducing. Omen Recordings continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music, solidifying its place at the forefront of the techno scene. This release is a must-have for those seeking to experience the deeper, darker, and more mystical facets of electronic music.
