SLAM | Pattern A3 (inc Jonas Kopp, Bleak & Charles Fenckler Remixes)
[SOMA412D]

1.	Slam – Pattern A3
2.	Slam - Pattern A3 (Jonas Kopp Remix)
3.	Slam - Pattern A3 (Bleak’s Modular Interpretation)
4.	Slam - Pattern A3 (Charles Fenckler Remix) 

The first single to be taken from Slam’s truly astounding upcoming album ‘Reverse Proceed’ sees the hypnotic Pattern A3 alongside some of Techno’s biggest and brightest new stars adding their own versions also.

Slam have chosen one of the major standout tracks from Reverse Proceed to set the tone prior to the album’s full release in late October. With the album built around the concept of varying sequences, it’s fitting that the first single be given such an apt name. Taken directly form the Cirklon sequencer pattern that helped design the track Pattern A3 features heavily modulating synths that seems to have a fully organic life of their own set against the typical backdrop of 909 drums. 

Following on from Slam’s original, Soma have enlisted the help of 3 of the label’s favourite contemporary Techno artists. Argentina’s Jonas Kopp is first up on remix duties and deliver an absolute pile-driver of a remix with his signature thudding drums and machine-gun like percussion firing rapidly against subtle and stripped synth elements.
 
Swedish based Bleak is a very welcome addition to this package as he offers his own ‘Modular Interpretation’. Heavy sub bass and intelligent drum work outs combine with yet more subtle hints of the original’s synth elements to give a more deep and introspective version. 

Rounding off the EP is latest Soma artist Charles Fenckler. The young French artist is making waves in Techno at the moment and has certainly delivered on this project, giving his version a much more minimalistic, stripped and ends up with a solid dance floor burner.

Severn Electronics presents SE003 - "7XINS - Cobalt Made Dreams Of Avarice."

"Cobalt Made Dreams Of Avarice" is the first release for 2024. The EP is digital only and features 2 original tracks from 7XINS and a remix from the hard hitting duo “Mist Gasp”.

This 2-track EP demonstrates a surrealist hypnotic side of 7XINS mind, offering listeners into a more undulating, sub heavy dreamscape. Pulsating baselines intertwine with open atmospheres, creating a sonic landscape that is both ethereal and immersive. These tracks are characterised by minimal synth work in the mid-range with clear emphasis on low end and minimal percussion, a clear departure from his conventional sound creating a perfect balance between dance floor energy and introspective immersion, perfect those deeper moments.

Track 3 is a remix of "7XINS - Western Prospects" provided by heavy hitting duo Mist Gasp. Mist Gasp have worked hard over the years which has been paying off well with recent releases on Bas Mooy’s mighty MORD records, SOMA and various other platforms. Consistency has been key for these guys everything they touch seems to scream peak time driving techno with heavy bottom... 

Released February 14, 2024

SE003 - 7XINS - Cobalt Made Dreams Of Avarice [EP]

Border One’s fourth contribution to Token Records is an ode to the cosmic, an ever-present theme in the Belgian’s acclaimed career. ‘Strange Attractor’ takes techno and applies Border One’s bubbly modular sound glossing over thick drums, weaving through sound design destined for sophisticated sets on worthy sound systems. Calm and collected, he offers yet again his attention to detail and devotion to effect. 

As an introduction, ‘Strange Attractor’ presents a gripping story. Displaying sustained tension, he takes his time to reveal his channels. Forcing the listener to settle in and anticipate, the elements diverge and converge over the space of six minutes, shifting groove throughout. A return to calm, slightly uneasy control helps us arrive at an influx in energy for the rest of the project. Moving along to ‘Astral Plane’, we are introduced to more extroverted sequences. Boomy through fluctuating synth lines and stomping claps, the seasoned producer uses the size of his design in the low end to justify a more erratic arrangement. Spread noise in the background interweaves with confronting synth work, making ‘Astral Plane’ impressive in weight without losing the intricate quality that its producer is known for. Opening the dimension of the project through far spread elements, ‘Time Dilation’ creates linear focus with a cloudy entourage. An always club efficient throbbing main synth persists through an exciting structure, highly resonant transitions whip through drum machine patterns, making the third track on the record nothing if not a nail biter. The shuffle of the hi hats does nothing to slow down the energetic peak of the EP; we find Border One confidently in control of layered machinery. Drawing the project to a close, ‘Fractal’ blinks through persistent tension. Linear rides and drones open and close with each transition, making for a bent atmosphere of intrigue. With a sturdy rhythm dotting along from start to finish, the tonality of Fractal makes it the perfect final bow to grasp Border One’s intentions and the universe he puts his work in.
