1ST SET

░R░e░l░e░a░s░e░s░

Those lockdown silver linings continue to reveal themselves when we least expect it… As proved, once again, by the inimitable Amsterdam techno HQ Deeptrax as they present this stunning analog exploration from scene stalwart Mark Peeters AKA Caim. 

Inspired, created and sculpted during those strange times when none of us could rave, Caim simply describes the moment by saying the “clubs were closed, but creativity kept on floating”… Now that floatation is bequeathed to us through these warm, rolling and wide-armed frequencies. Tapping into a spirit that goes right back to Detroit and Chicago, there’s an understated groovemanship at play as Calm jams out on the same instruments house and techno forefathers used to sculpt this culture. 

Music to get lost inside of, music to take away the stresses of the day, music that’s a joy to mix, weave and tell stories with… Caim has created another timeless collection of grooves that could resonate with or relate to any period in the last 35 years of dance music culture. 

From the warm, opening rumbles of ‘Nepi’ to closing rippling dubwise echoes of ‘Kapura’, very few stones are left unturned as Caim tells a tale of the ages that we can all float to. Here’s to silver linings.

Descend into the vast underwater world of Melbourne/Naarm producer LOIF(@loiflan).  LOIF's imagination of the mysterious world beneath the shores needs not words to describe it, but your ears to envision it.

'Plunge' presents four tracks of varying liquid moods which illustrate LOIF's versatility and tendency to hop between genres and moods. The EP travels through the depths and rhythms of techno, electro, bass, breaks, psy, glued together by a bubbly warmth reminiscent of oceanic exploration and dance floor groove.

Sound Synthesis - Orbital 106 EP

Bandcamp: sansibar.bandcamp.com/album/sansibar-live-2022

For the majority of the time you’re just shouting into the void.

Why do you persist?

The art of being significant in your own mind. Taking something out of that cluster, from the current of neurons to the movement of hands, through the subtle glitch in a thought process which renders an action unique. Entering that into the frame of consensus reality, up for perceptual grabs — moments of solipsistic doubt come together with ecstatic group pleasure.

Hurmos.

Sansibar - Live 2022 (Preview)

German raised and Brighton-based producer https://soundcloud.com/caldera-caldera presents "Casual Transcendence EP" on Flippen Bits, blending his signature groove-oriented sound with the trippy essence of the label.

The EP opens with the title track, "Casual Transcendence," setting a solid groove foundation and infusing it with a bouncy acid bass line and liquidy pads. "Ground Miles" adds hazy, pitch-shifted vocals to Caldera's established style, creating an entrancing blend of sounds. "Strange Brew" takes listeners on a cosmic journey with sizzling hi-hats, echoing bird songs, and an irresistible groove that makes time fly. Closing the EP is "Styte," a meditative percussion jam that mesmerizes with its intricate rhythms and elusive meter.

Out June 9, 2023!

FLIPPEN BITS 003: Caldera - Casual Transcendence EP previews

The Brighton-based producer and creative mastermind, @Caldera-caldera, lets us delve into his multi-faceted personality with his new EP, 5D Worlds. No VR set needed, Caldera follows the chant of the sirens and the shamanic incantations but never directly references them: a psychoactive journey without the psychedelics. Caldera’s 5D Worlds is a hyperreal ride, from his signature dubby grooves to his lesser known Tech-Trance whopper fantasies – As the BPM evolves, the sound designs morph and the gentle percussion give way to sonar-like synths and binary rhythms. Are you finally hearing the sirens ? Good, you have arrived at your destination.

In the vibrant core of La Vallée Électrique festival, Caldera draws inspiration from and weaves the threads of his encounters into a spellbinding EP. From the effervescence of a festival night to the murmur of leaves, “Triangular Passage” takes us on a clearly psychedelic journey.

LOIF, another fellow luminary of the 2023 edition of the festival, contributes a remix that enriches the EP with an energetic minimalist-modern twist.

A compilation of tracks formally released on VA's and in one case a track that has been vinyl only until now.
I've slightly changed the mixes of 'Gone' and 'Doomed' and they have been remastered by Sub Basics.

I've also created an artwork that represents the 'foresty' feeling of those tracks. Enjoy! @sub-basics

BULLIES

In our society addiction is something most of us, if not all of us, have to deal with. Directly or indirectly. Some times this addiction is to the detriment of ourselves, at times others, and at times both. Amongst the many addiction are gambling, drugs, sugar and then there's: MONEY!!!!
