Notte Infinita - Oxygen [INDEX009]

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-catartsis-un-pas-dans-le-passe/ 

Since being made aware of @Catartsis and Ōtone's @ygam imprint a few years back, we've been dipping into their catalogue every time we've felt the desire to listen to intelligent techno and experimental music. After something of a hiatus over the pandemic, the label is back in business, with Catartsis helming a solo EP entitled 'Acier Leste'.

Acier Leste

Catartsis - Un pas dans le passé [ygam]

As we fall back into club season, Typeless looks to the Parisian producer, Trois-Quarts Taxi System, for its tenth release. 

This 4-track EP is lined with hypnotic melodies, complex rhythms, and organic textures that converge to create a well thought out and layered piece of production. Trois-Quarts Taxi System explores deep and dark tones throughout whilst simultaneously keeping it bouncy and fast moving, giving it a strong place in the club.

Porter Brook’s experimentation with Live Coding considers the reality of dance music culture in the 2020’s to be inseparably mediated through algorithms and digital space. The attention economy and the corporate co-optation of the underground has dissolved a large part of dance music culture in an acrid solvent of content creation.

Prefrontal Asymmetry liberates itself within the overstimulation which this generational change demands of us. By seldomly evoking traditional motifs and clichés of the dance-floor amongst fierce algorithmic noise and repurposed snippets of short-form digital media, Prefrontal Asymmetry provides an alternative and optimistic thesis on the perceived annihilatory Zeitgeist of Gen-Z Clubland:

“Nothing can be more freeing than resigning oneself to onslaught of stimulus, and rejecting the sincerity of such content in favour of heartfelt experimentation, cherished relationships and the joy of experience.”

This modus operandi is bolstered by collaborative work with Lagos Born, Manchester Based vocalist LINTD [@L1NTD], who provides technologically mutated ruminations on self esteem, value, and fear within our contemporary landscape. A remix from GAEL [@gaelabakarova] on the B side further contextualises and physicalises the message.

TL;DR - This record is sort of TikTok Techno.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Smogo - Sauvage [ES034]

With this second EP ever released and his second offering to the Electric Shapes' catalogue, Smogo dove deeper into the areas of the subconscient. With a blend of hard rhythms and dangerous sound designs, gathering both his love for Science-Fiction and organic textures, this new EP reflects more than anything his attraction towards ultramodern mental music, well reflecting the ongoing european enthusiasm for fast paced techno, buzzing soundscapes, ethereal harshnes, citing A Strange Wedding, Raär, Solma, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Sole Massif as his source of influence. Calling this wave as "psytech", it conjures on the dancefloor a bestial spirit made for dance, self-abandon, communion with the others.

Aquarian - The Snake That Eats Itself

Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian makes his full length album debut The Snake That Eats Itself on Bedouin Records. This record follows his collaborative EPs with Deapmash as 'AQXDM" and is his first solo release since his 2016 experimental mixtape for Quiet Time.

Nearly five years in the making,The Snake That Eats Itself is Aquarian's most complex, diverse and emotive work to date, plunging his trademark UK sound-system / techno hybrids into a self-contained, cinematic universe streaked with heavy influences from industrial, IDM, drone and dark pop music. Written in Brooklyn, New York, in a deeply transitional, yet seemingly endless period preceding his relocation to Berlin,the title of the album refers to the Ouroboros, a mythological serpent symbolizing the cycle of birth and death and infinity itself.

The Snake That Eats Itself pits Aquarian's most abrasive and brutal moments next to his most wistful and introspective. Viscerally thick layers of tape saturation envelop the album as sludgy synths ooze against brittle atmospheres; breakbeats fragment, explode and disintegrate into swarms of delay and noise; scorched, metallic percussion - sampled from a year-long demolition and construction project next to his apartment - forge the rhythmic backbone of the album. These elements, however, seamlessly make way to startlingly crystalline and shimmering ambient passages, offering a sense of reprieve and balance.

Tracklist:
01. End Credits
02. Blood Sugar
03. Sketch 2 (Song for D.O.U.G.)
04. Ouroboros
05. Tarp2
06. New York, An Eternity
07. Hate Is A Strong Word (Part 1)
08. Hate is A Strong Word (Bruxist Part 2) 09. Letting Go At Arm's Length
