CRYPTIC PULSE

passion (remaster)

The Attic Music label strives to keep us dancing in these difficult times with a new EP from red hot young Portuguese talent Nørbak featuring a remix from the label’s owner Fabrizio Lapiana. 

Over the last four years, Artur Moreira has quickly established his avant-garde techno sound on labels like Semantica, Soma, Warm Up Recordings and his own label, Hayes. Always exploring the deep and dark end of the spectrum, he has picked up props from the likes of Oscar Mulero and Dasha Rush while going on to establish his name around Europe with killer sets at places like Tresor in Berlin. 

The excellent 'Pledge I' opens up with a menacing groove that burrows late into an underground cavern. It sounds earthy and organic and the rock solid kick drums get you into a state of hypnosis while the scurrying synths add more details in which to get lost. 'Pledge II' is another masterfully heady and journeying track that layers up more rubbery, propulsive kick drums with fizzing, electrified synth sounds and pads that encircle you and get you into a state of trance. It's hugely warm and atmospheric. 

Over the last decade, Lapiana and his label have become synonymous with evocative techno soundscapes on the finest labels around. Here he serves up a remix of 'Pledge III' that is perfectly smooth and seductive, with soft, looping melodic phrases slowly shapeshifting and melting your mind as they do so. The drums burrow deep into the night and make this a timeless minimal techno classic.  Last of all, 'Pledge IV' is a silky techno track that rolls to infinity, with cosmic pads and subtle melodies all weaving around each other and tying your brain in knots.  

This is another tasteful EP of high grade techno that works mind, body and soul.

Label: DEAD CERT. Records

Artist: Various
Title: Royal Mail - Juan Trujillo Remixes
Release Date: 13 June 2020
Format: Digital
CAT#: DEADCERT051

01. Marco Effe - Atomic Clocks (Juan Trujillo Remix)
02. A4 (ES) - The Moon (Juan Trujillo Remix)
03. Vegim - Digital Fracture (Juan Trujillo Remix)
04. Energun - Evolutionary (Juan Trujillo Remix)

DEAD CERT. Records is a label linked to the well known website deathtechno.com ran by Jack! Who? in the UK. A diverse palette has seen the previous releases feature music from artists including Audio Injection / Truncate, Paul Mac, TWR72, Echoplex, and Petter B to name but a few.

This is the second entry of the “Royal Mail” series inaugurated by Callum Plant in 2016 welcoming an artist to dive into the back catalogue and create some fresh reworks.

Juan Trujillo is a skilled artist the label has supported for many years and his Argentinian influence continues to grow having recently appeared on labels such as Noir Music, Alleanza and Counter Pulse, as well as running his own Simplecoding Recordings.

First up is the Marco Effe “Atomic Clocks” revision that is spinning with energy and raw sounds that provide depth and power ready to rinse club floors.

A recent track from Spanish newcomer A4 titled “The Moon” is the second selection keeping the distinctive and abstract tones intact yet more intensified, Juan creates a far out, groove-fuelled weapon.

Taking things a touch deeper, the Vegim rework opts for a spacey and hypnotic flavour, morphing the original notes of “Digital Fraction” into a subtle and twisted tripped out take.

Energun’s “Evolutionary” finishes things off as the most laid-back track of the four remixes, complete with dreamy textures and a spaced out, introspective vibe with just the right amount of bite.

Los mitos y las leyendas han servido como herramienta de arraigamiento cultural para los pueblos latinoamericanos, evocan la sabiduría ancestral de los viejos de la aldea, que reunían pequeños grupos de niños para cautivarles con las historias y que sirvieran como lineamiento para el desarrollo y crecimiento de sus culturas. En Illegal Alien Records, hemos decidido rendir un homenaje a las historias populares mexicanas que en forma de mitos y leyendas han logrado trascender a través de generaciones y generaciones. Hemos invitado a participar por primera vez a artistas mexicanos del más alto nivel, quienes se han encargado de musicalizar estas pequeñas gotas de agua cristalina de las que se compone el gigantesco océano cultural del que estamos compuestos. A nivel imagen hemos trabajado en la representación y homenaje al arte huichol que representa la Mexicanidad más pura y real, lejos de nacionalismos pero con la intención de la difusión del arte y cultura de una región sagrada como la Mexicana.
Ante el grandioso trabajo gráfico y musical, decidimos realizar un tiraje limitado, edición especial en formato Cassette y Digital, que estará disponible en tiendas el día Viernes 25 de Septiembre del 2020.

@koryu_budo's third digital release comes from Perfo, known before as Discreet Haven. A young french producer based in Berlin. He offers four cuts of rugged, intense and textured techno named Sheathing Variations 1 - 4.

Variation number one starts with a solid kick drum and reverberated textures growing. More sonic elements join the equation as time evolves while everything is surrounded by phased drones ,mutating constantly as more percussive elements come along. No massive breaks, no sudden changes, detail and sound architecture at its best.

Number two shares similar feelings, a solid bass drum and reverberated ambiences to start with, shuffled percussive elements, resonant bleeps and more textured layers joining the dance. Every sound component has its place in the stereo field showcasing the studio skills of this producer.

On the virtual B side, Variation number three speeds the tempo, adds a synthetic groove bassline, preserves the density and texture of the previous but adding more melodic elements as well as a busiest rhythm approach. A peak time mixing tool.

Closing the release Variation four, same feelings as the previous numbers but moving the textures back, giving more presence to the sequenced components and using classic 909 rides and snares to spice the groove.
 
If you mix the four cuts in a row you can perceive how connected they are argumentally wise, as a soundtrack of a dystopian future.

@koryu_budo is back on wax again with a very special release. It means a great pleasure for the label to have one of the pivotal figures of the Madrid underground techno scene on board, Herr @unkle-fon.

Some years ago, Madrid club scene was formed by conventional clubs in conventional locations with conventional opening and closing times and usually, conventional programming. Manuel Cano then founded Utopía Secret Society and things changed forever for the city’s underground nightlife.

Now as you may have noticed there is no club scene at all, neither conventional nor illegal, sign of the times.

Musically speaking, Manuel started as a guitarist and soon evolved into studio engineer, label owner, club promoter, record shop owner (Ater Cosmo), social agitator… and adventurous character that reflects in his productions all his knowledge of the dancefloor.

"Jisatsu" is a slow-paced broken beat surrounded with smooth textures, soon joined by a repetitive synth line that adds the hypnotic component.

"Genroku Ako" follows with a cosmic approach, continuous percussive and synthetic lines run together on a fast BPM exercise obsessive, linear and mental.

On the flip side, "47 Ronin" uses dreamy stabs over a relentless groove mixing liquidity with tension.

Closing the release "Shuppatsu" is an almost beatless exercise, just with 909 rimshots, toms and snares spiced with ethereal components.

A timeless futuristic release that can wait on your record bag until things go in better directions.

47 Ronin EP

Premiere: Unkle Fon "Genroku Ako" - Koryu Budo

Fabrizio Rat - La Machina


« Take a piano, the classic and romantic instrument par excellence, and project it into the hypnotic and powerful soundscape of techno music ». 

Following two Eps, ‘’La Machina’’ (Optimo Trax) and ‘’Technopiano’’ (Involve), Fabrizio releases his first album of hybrid techno, with an innovative sound palette. The Pianist combines the acoustic sounds and weird harmonics of his prepared piano with the acid loops of the TB-303 and the beats of the TR-909.
« I want to play like these machines that I love, to translate their exactitude and imperfection with my human nature, to open up new paths, and play with our errors. The repetition process let me enter another dimension, a state of trance where the physical effort disappear, and control is not necessary any more, I just need to be carried away by sound, with a bit of luck. »

Unsurprisingly, it’s in front of the dancefloor, in clubs or festivals, that Fabrizio plays his live sets. With the right hand he plays repetitive rhythmical patterns while the left one handles the machines and manipulates the piano strings.
His goal is to reach « the trance, to project on the dancers the hypnotic state of my right hand moving on the piano ».
