Ociya - aka Patricia + Tin Man - Powers Of Ten

As Ociya, hardware freaks Tin Man (Johannes Auvinen) and Patricia (Max Ravitz), come together in unholy acid matrimony on a definitive double-album, Powers Of Ten.

We know both sides well. Over a prolific run of records for Acid Test and his own Global A, Auvinen has expounded upon the promise of "Nonneo" (recently named one of Resident Advisor's 2010-19: Tracks Of The Decade), unearthing new, emotional vistas from the Roland TB-303. Ravitz, meanwhile, matches Tin Man in studio ethic, establishing himself as one of North America's hardware masters on records for Ghostly and Opal Tapes.

What we couldn't have predicted is how well the parts merge. Cuts like "Ghost Moons" channel the hazy IDM legacies of the past, while "Hopeful Galaxy" mixes a plaintive Rhodes motif with a hopeful 303 line for the perfect "tears on the dance floor" cut. The track titles on Power Of Ten— a perfect melodic techno LP generously spread across two records—are celestially minded ("Gravity Knots," "Star Scraping") and indeed, the cosmic metaphor is apt or the newly-formed duo. On Powers Of Ten, Tin Man's acid lines rocket through space like brilliant, shooting stars. His signature orchestral acid moments are given the perfect backdrop, the nebula of Patricia's rich atmospherics and melodies.

The album was recorded live to 2 track in Patricia’s studio in New York, no edits.

There was a thick fog which hung beside the tree in the middle of the desert, they watched it from afar. It was not safe to roam outside here, amidst the wilderness ,for there were wild creatures and beasts which might eat you alive given the chance. The sand was a dense hybrid yellow, some might call it gold but for him that was not the case. The car whizzed across the outback headed for a town miles away in the distance, the engine coughed and spluttered beneath the heat of the day. They were all under strain... 

City Bowl Wax Network is a label based in Cape Town, South Africa. The label hit us up with two EP's of exquisite quality and precision that we were wholeheartedly blown away by. Not something that we get to say terribly often. This one comes with a gold stamp, or should we say a hybrid yellow stamp of approval.

T-N, aka Tanya Akinola, serves up her signature combination of stomping electro, breaks, bass and leftfield techno in the latest melt mix.  It’s an absolute pleasure to have her create this sonic journey for us, which seamlessly weaves a variety of aural textures ranging from poppy and euphoric to dark and ravey. With such masterful curation, it’s no surprise that Tanya has featured on Rinse FM and Threads radio and is associated with notorious leftfield label Lobster Theremin. 

Having recently returned from London, Tanya is based in Naarm, where she has just launched a new program on Triple R called After Hours Mutuation. Catch the program every Thursday morning from 4am-6am.

New tales have made their way through hardships, expecting to be told by PSANG on a fresh split tape. Two machine worshippers have been gathered for the occasion : on the A side, Discothèque Sauvage delivers a triptych of idm-ish electro titles, tinged with deep rhythmic melodies. B side takes us off the electro land for a perfect rest on the edges of uf0’s complex mind.
