NULLPTR

Fanzine Records

NULLPTR never fails. Since emerging in 2016 with the Optical LP, Eddie Symons’ project has become a byword for top-draw contemporary electro productions. After triumphantly returning to Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit with 2020’s Future World full-length, NULLPTR follows that album up with a new quartet of machine-funk slammers. Striking a balance between highwire, twitchy rhythm programming and some deft textural work, the Terminus EP demonstrates exactly why the NULLPTR name is so respected in the world of electro.

The first half here almost showcases the two sides of the NULLPTR sound in microcosm. Opening track ‘Connected’ zips along like one of the racers from a Wip3out game. The 808s are all booming breakbeats and hissing-piston hats, with a jittery synth bassline nipping in and out of the spaces left vacant by the drums. Atop these swirl eerie keyboard pads, the reverb from them draping across the rest of the instruments like fog above a city. By contrast, following cut ‘Mesospheric Cruise’ is the yin to ‘Connected’s yang. Where its predecessor was tense and coiled, this lilting number is expansive and open like a primetime Virginia joint - though the point where the wistful house pads strip back to foreground the twinkle-toed electro beat still has a pleasing crunch to it.

The B-side of Terminus serves dystopian snap from the off. Genre masters Drexciya are invoked by ‘Syndicate’. The needle-gun bassline here turns itself inside-out across these five minutes, and all the while the tune is laced with some evocative shadow-realm synth pads. A similar energy courses through the EP’s closing title-track, a cut which also brings into play a booming four-to-the-flour that gives it an unstoppable sense of forward-motion. Like ‘Connected’ and ‘Mesospheric Cruise’ - indeed, like all of the NULLPTR material that Central Processing Unit has brought us down the years - these jams will sound positively devilish when deployed in a dark basement.

The Terminus EP sees electro don NULLPTR (Eddie Symons) deliver four slices of unadulterated machine-funk heat.

TL Premiere #630 (2021.07.07) : Nullptr - Adrift [Distorted Sensory Perception]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 182nd Premiere of 2021, we have a track by the veteran UK Electro Producer and DJ, Eddie Symons, aka "Nullptr", titled ‘Adrift’ from his EP "Lost Time" on the Electronic Music Vinyl Label run by @Zobol & @Entrave : Distorted Sensory Perception.

Release Info :

Nullptr - Lost Time [Distorted Sensory Perception - DSP004]

Distorted Sensory Perception returns for their 4th release, proudly welcoming Eddie Symons AKA Nullptr to the fold. ‘Lost Time’ boasts 4 deep and dynamic analogue cuts that are sure to stimulate the mind, body and soul. The EP forms the penultimate part of Nullptr's 2021 triptych, recorded over the final months of a difficult year when the distance between friends and family really started to be felt, yet the hope of better times felt close.

The A-side opens with the bass heavy ‘Adrift’. Shrouded in eerie synth leads and tasteful modular bleeps. All presented over heavy hitting drum loops that together make an emotive, uncompromising whole.
The first side concludes with the warm and funky ‘Islands’. Smooth sailing synthesis and popping percussion in combination create a sonic delight for the ears.

The B-side opens with the dark and moody ‘First Light’. A deep, dystopian example of UK Electro that takes no prisoners. Deep menacing bass pads, melancholic synth leads and acidic squiggles all bubbling under a punchy broken beat.
Finally, the last piece of the puzzle and title track of the release ‘Lost Time’ is a lighter, dreamier example of Eddie’s versatility as a producer. Signature arpeggios and contemplative leads all tied together with shuddering percussive elements. A beautiful insight into the reflective mind of its creator and a fitting end to an emotion-inducing record.

INFO:
Gracing Token with a 12” of reliable effect, Sterac (a.k.a. Steve Rachmad) offers 4 titles that go beyond the club - balancing raw Detroit influences and contemporary depth. With a reputation built on years of developing his scene through important record releases and local as well as international activity, ‘Light in the Darkness’ confirms Rachmad’s artistic relevance in a quickly developing scene. With a tone-setting introduction for the EP, Rachmad immediately grips the listener’s attention with the pragmatic yet nostalgic ‘Mangled’. Chord stabs inch away from a brutal on-beat drum sequence, a technique responsible for many hits in the genre, this time tastefully repolished through spreaded wooden percussion in direct support. ‘Mangled’ boasts what A1’s should - a worthy first impression - before luring us into what can be considered the apex of the EP. ‘Light in the Darkness’ claims the project title with a gradual exploration through celestial bodies. A minimal opening with a simple acid bassline shows a great deal of attitude before the listener gets caught in an unexpected tide of cosmic pads, dimensionalizing an initially linear record . With slow waves of rich synth work enveloping the only anchor to time that is rhythm, the result is a closed-eyed dance floor experience to be selected in prime conditions. Thick pads are immediately offered again, this time more orchestral than mental. The softness of this primary sound design is expertly dissected by a razor sharp resonant top synth and an upward drum construction, completing the spectrum of sound and unveiling a record with a size fit for warehouse capacities. Rachmad adds almost cinematic suspense to the EP with ‘S.O.’ - certainly not to be underestimated. This leads us to the project’s closer ‘Solidify’, a delirious club groover. With a sound as bent and confronting as a house of mirrors, Rachmad leaves us with a final chapter to keep the heart racing past the end.

Lefrenk - Misunderstood Ep - Fanzine Records 037D

Fanzine Records proudly presents "Across The Threshold", the electrifying debut EP from SLIT OBSERVERS.

From the depths of the electronic scene emerges SLIT OBSERVERS, the fascinating project of Alex Veiga and David Crespo. With roots firmly planted in techno, turntablism, and electronic production since the late '90s, these two friends have traveled parallel paths that now converge in a sonic and conceptual exploration of electro.

After years dedicated to the art of scratch and the textures of IDM, SLIT OBSERVERS ventures with "Across The Threshold" into a territory where rhythm intertwines with tension and perception becomes a tool to transform sonic reality.

Inspired by the intriguing duality of quantum physics and the double-slit experiment, their music plays with expectations, creating soundscapes that challenge passive listening. Prepare for an auditory journey where the boundaries between the tangible and the abstract blur as you cross "Across The Threshold".

The debut EP "Across The Threshold" by SLIT OBSERVERS is now available on Bandcamp. Don't miss this fascinating first glimpse into a new and promising sound!
