Altinbas - Verlucent EP [OS005]

For Fuse’s fifth release, Brussels’ Altinbas returns for a whirlwind of meditative and harmonious techno. Solidifying his identity of focused yet vibrant club music, the Fuse resident and label co-curator offers his second contribution ‘Sustain’ as a dancefloor-enveloping take on modern techno. Known for rich chords, whipping pads, and dry percussion, Altinbas proves once again that his touch as a producer revolves around balance and calculated effect.

‘Trail of’ kick starts the EP with flourishing synthwork and a taste of dub as has become the Belgian artist’s signature. Dotting toms as rhythmic accents and a low to the ground shaker make for a swaying introduction with an infectious groove. Breaking things up in the second track, ‘Life Force’ presents Detroit style chord stabs and playful rhythmic work. With a mental synth at the foundation, the track presents 909 drums to reinvigorate atmospheric synths that make ‘Life Force’ a subtle hybrid of classic club genres. With a wink at Fuse’s heritage and a peak into its future, Altinbas’ focus on enduring music can be felt throughout ‘Sustain’ and truly understood in the Brussels club. As a fitting follow up, ‘Purpose’ opens the B-side with illuminating chords and rounded sound design and a pulsating low-end. With almost a lighthearted tone, the record fits across genres and rooms, claiming movement instead of mood as its sole medium. The title track ‘Sustain’ proves just that - a melodic sequence and progressive arrangement make for an intensely euphoric closing. Evolving melodies, opening filters, and big but calculated buildups sum up Altinbas’s work for Fuse’s fifth release on the new label. The record brims with warmth and yet it finds its way on darker dance floors with ease, providing a refined style of music that belongs only to him across the international scene.

Substrate / vol.2 / prv.d 

tastemaker, curator, dancer, and after after host. 

Dom Dang has been a part of my LA underground journey from the start, he has always been there supporting me and Corduroy Garden. When thinking of who to play the first Substrate I knew I wanted Dom to set the tone. We have always resonated on the Psychedelic/Hypnotic techno sounds and we pursue them together in dark loud warehouses. Dom is committed to the underground, to bringing good vibes to the dance floor, to uplifting friends and their work, and to opening up his space as a place to experiment, express, and listen. Thrilled to have him feature a collection of music on vol.2 of the Substrate mix series, hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Substrate / vol.2 / prv.d

This month’s contribution to our DETECT mix series comes courtesy of @INLIMEN. 

Blending raw, hypnotic techno with harder focused grooves, the Ukrainian born, Portuguese-raised artist channels her diverse upbringing into an entirely new sound entirely.

The name “INLIMEN” takes its origins from Latin, signifying being in a state of liminality, where transformation occurs into a new beginning and INLIMEN take this one step further to achieve a state of trance and offer a passage into the unknown.

INLIMEN’s DETECT is now available to listen to on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Remix we made last year around the time her album dropped.

Most think debugging is about fixing a mistake.
While actually is all about finding the bug, understanding why the bug was there to begin with. It came to you to deliver a message. 
Like an unconscious bubble floating to the surface, popping with a revelation you’ve secretly known all along

Experimenting on the fringe trying not to stick to generalization.

I do mix and produce. Mostly sharing with people staff that I like to listen to.
