Harrison BDP’s carefully curated and otherworldly approach to dance music is unmatched. Time spent in his countryside home in South Wales has given way to some of his most playful yet thought-provoking work to date. Now the Welsh DJ and producer debuts on MÖRK, combining elements of classic house styles and futuristic soundscapes - locking listeners in a voyage you’ll never want to end.

‘All That’s On My Mind’ spans nine minutes of enhancement, as dense grooves cross paths with rays of sunshine that melt between the trees. Dreamy vocals ascent above the emerald forest acting as our guide.

Cerulean Ascent and Funking Duck: Polish Democracy

I do believe that this makes the 7th collaborative effort with the amazing GrevusAnjl (@grevusanjl). Justin and I have always worked together at a slow, methodical pace, allowing for things to fall into place in their own way. It's always with great pleasure that I announce a new piece of music with my good friend.

Angel And Puppet | GrevusAnjl & Belial Pelegrim

Following a stunning debut LP on Planet Trip in 2021 @twoends offers up a glorious EP for Shades Of Sound Recordings. Comprised of three original tracks that are rich in colourful melodies and dreamy textures, drifting beautifully between deep house energy and a warm downtempo feeling. Remixes come in the form of a gorgeous blissed out rework from LOVA while Joe Morris offers up both a shimmering downtempo mix and a deeper club cut.

PREMIÈRE: Two Ends - Crossings (Joe Morris Dawn Break Mix)

A collaboration between muterial and Blink Twice, posted here at formution, starting from the muterial open collab Off The Rails:

Blink Twice is a project of Robert Salchak, aka Mood Exhibit!

Quench

Quench - muterial | Blink Twice

From 2015
No analogue equipment/hardware was used in this track.

It was created exclusively using the now obsolete Camel Alchemy Mobile app.
www.kvraudio.com/product/alchemy-…e-by-camel-audio
It was my favorite and first app that I used when returning to music after a 14 year break from Blink Twice. (abandoning hardware and selling my gear)

Alchemy only had a 4 track sequencer, but I made the most of it. This particular piece uses 2 tracks for synths, 1 track for percussion, and 1 track with the voice sample. What Alchemy excelled in was it's incredible synth engine and ability to morph sounds in realtime with it's x-y axis screen control. I fully went all out with this feature on this track, resulting in a similar effect to knob twisting on modular synths.

I greatly miss this app, but Apple bought out Camel, and as a result they did not update this app. They instead included an extremely watered down version of the Alchemy synth engine in their Garageband app.

That's how I sound when I got a cold and foam in my head...

A one-shot burst from precisely a year ago. Distant, simple and spacey.

Hei!

It's difficult to categorize my music into just one genre. It draws influence from trip hop, breakbeat, instrumental and abstract hip hop, heavy rock, techno, minimal, sound art, contemporary, glitch, and more!

I admire many artists, and you might detect their influence in my work. Among the best are Daft Punk and Massive Attack, followed by 90s Ninja Tune artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, and Kid Koala. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of them live at the legendary Ilosaari Rock festivals. I also appreciate French hip hop, particularly Le Peuple de l'herbe. Other inspirations include The Prodigy, Portishead, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Moby, Mono, Thievery Corporation, Future Sound of London, and more. My taste spans from acid jazz and funk to lo-fi and even punk or hard metal, depending on my mood.

I've been making music since the early 2000s, starting with MadTracker software (I am fine with the program name). A few years ago, I transitioned to music production with Ableton Live 10, and I'm currently using version 12. Some of my tracks are experimental, stemming from explorations over the past 20 years, while others are entirely new compositions. This experimentation is perhaps influenced by my background in research—I'm eager to explore new territories, including music.

Nature is my second passion. I tend to a micro-farm in the summer, raising sheep and chickens and restoring it to its traditional biohabitat. In the winter, I evade to the city and brood there, craving for the countryside's spring, summer, and autumn... or dreaming being in hot and sunny place by a sea or river...

I'm open to collaborations, akin to scientific endeavors where novel and exciting outcomes emerge from teamwork. Feel free to reach out!

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my SoundCloud friends, website visitors, and music listeners. This community is truly remarkable!

Best regards,
Tarmo aka Funking Duck
