Scalameriya - Promo Mix (February-2017)

Niki Istrefi’s debut 12" on Euromantic moves beyond apathy, beyond skepticism into a mode of cynicism only intimate to true romantics. This is techno for our brothers and sisters caught up in the decadent lifestyle of the new millennium.

Blawan has been in his own sound world for years now. Releasing on the likes of Hessle Audio, Hinge Finger and his own Ternesc, he’s made brutalist, heavily textured tracks, big room tools and dark grooves with freaky sound design. It’s all helped to make him one of the most interesting producers of the day, and here he shows another side to his sound. 

First up is his version of ‘The Hermit,’ which is seven spacious and mysterious minutes of creeping pads and implicit rhythms. Dark but inviting, it’s stripped back, hollowed out techno that manages to be hugely absorbing and menacing without any clearly defined drums. 

On the flip is the equally beguiling ‘The High Priestess’. Deep, subliminal kicks set the tone as groaning riffs, train-track percussion and distant, tortured pads all slowly hypnotise. It builds in pressure and creeps you out as it locks you ever further in. 

This is evocative dead-of-night music that says a lot in impressively economical ways.

Spheres is the first in a series of “documents” by Research, which intends to unite a diverse selection of artists around a common theme. The inspiration for this initial document comes from artist and mathematician Timothy Cresswell, whose carving of spheres covered in mathematical figures – a holistic, meditative process he refers to as “tuning” – has taken place for over fifty years and has inspired the art direction of his son Daniel. 

The leadoff track “Radon” from These Hidden Hands – the production duo of Tommy Four Seven and Alain Paul – does so with a red-toothed yet synthetic menace and with percussive patterns like an artillery barrage. Mondkopf then dials back the aggression somewhat for his piece “The Runaway,” yet keeps the sense of transformative tension running high with sculpted static, nervous Geiger counter ticking and majestic layered synths. SNTS closes out the A-side with the appropriately named “Dunkelheit,” a slow and steady audio journey – complete with dramatic pauses – through black rains and monolithic structures used for ritualistic purposes. The B-side opens with Oake’s “Blemmyae,” a slowly unfurling mass of audio fog whose hypnotically austere rhythm track – almost entirely composed from a single martial snare hit and a punishing digital bass drum – is used as bait to lure listeners into a force field of precisely interwoven drones and doppler-effect mayhem. Headless Horseman sustains this atmosphere with a club track for an alien homeworld: a dense mixture of shuddering / shattering percussion, imperious synth swells and crackling bursts of raw electricity. Grebenstein’s “Meet My Needs” delivers the final statement for this particular document, utilizing carefully segmented white noise and synthesized pulmonary sound as the basis for an ascension to uncharted mental realms.

"This mix travels trough techno, electro and broken beats territories. The through line is "rave" in the early/mid 90s sense. Although most tracks are recent or not yet released, my ear tends to converge towards a modern twist on that big room rave sound, which is fast, percussive-heavy, acidic and melodically rich." - @softcoresoft

It’s always a real treat to hear fresh material from Efdemin, and his latest project looks set to be his most ambitious so far. The techno artist is currently prepping for the release of his Naïf mix, a blend between album and DJ mix that’s soon to drop on Curle Recordings. 

Comprised of 29 unreleased tracks, Naïf features new material from the likes of Margaret Dygas and Steve Bicknell, as well as 10 new cuts from Efdemin. Efdemin and Dygas will both be joining us on the same bill in just over a week, so he sent over an excerpt of the mix featuring tracks from both of the producers. Richly textured with chugging drums and trippy vocal clips, it covers the same kind of immersive techno both artists are likely to bring to Farringdon on 17th March.

Tracks featuring: 

Laveline – Efdemin / Konrad Sprenger
Fony – Margaret Dygas
Not Now, Not Yet – Rhyw
Neuromantic – Gunnar Haslam
1Q84 – Savas Pascalidis

Efdemin and Margaret Dygas come to EC1 on 17/03: fabricldn.co/i3imfc
