Low-pressure discharge EP
 
Vinyl & Digital
A1. Exium – Ascendo
A2. Exium - Atheris
B1. Exium - Cyclotron
B2. Exium – Low-pressure discharge

It’s been a while now since dance music stopped suddenly and also it’s been a while since the Exium duo released stuff here at home. 

Héctor and Valentin have been busy in their studios during these uncertain days, extracting the best out of their minds and tools to create this four tracker.
If you are familiar with the Exium sound over the years, you can feel here a sort of comeback to their primitive roots.
The sound is harsher, more violent, the components are a chosen few but well standing in the mix, the rhythms are broken and twisted. Nothing easy for the ear.

If you push the boundaries like they do, there’s still hope in techno as a constantly new and risky journey. Totally the opposite of cloning what is done.

Ascendo relies on a broken kick surrounded by industrial noises and distorted textures. Merciless

Atheris uses again nonlinear drums as the basement, spicing the recipe with overdriven pads and abstract sonic elements.

Cyclotron is the only 4/4 cut here. A random square wave distorted synth line is the leitmotiv, joined by different layers of sonic components creating an aggressive scfi joint.

Low Pressure Discharge closes the release returning to abstract breaks as foundation, with metallic industrial hits on top.

This release is not for the tuff ones or the soft minded. Tradition and futurism all in one.

Patrik Carrera
Inevitable Decay EP
WU56

A1 - Standing Fog 
A2 - Altered Form
B1 - Liquid Toil 
B2 - Silent Influx

We bring Patrik Carrera to our team, starting our relationship with this Inevitable Decay EP. The australian born , Berlin based producer, offers four slices of modern techno, balancing aggression with hypnosis along four cuts.

Standing Fog uses a mega distorted kick and resonant hypnotic bleeps on top, reminding the old X 102 feeling. No remorse in this track, straight to the point madness.

Altered Form relies on a complex groove, with asymmetrical components and heavily texturized, the main synth line goes on forever while different elements go back and forth. The rythm grows in intensity on the final moments, adding distortion and dirtiness.

Liquid Toil goes hyperspace, abstract sinoidal sequences float over an opaque groove that is soon filled with shuffled 909 hats and scifi textures. Jeff Mills will love this one.

Influx puts the eye in old Birmimgham tools, with a reverberated repetitive sequence over a shuffled beat, things move just a bit, keeping the pace linear and obsessive making a superb mixing tool.

A diverse EP with a personal approach to intelligent dance territories, music that could be from 10 years after today, from the future.

D1- Rolling On The Ground
D2- Modernist Descents

Release date 15.11.19


After the 10’ appetizer we gave you this summer, here comes the big deal: eight cuts of the new Selección Natural stuff, this time cooked alive, by the four foundational members reunited at Oscar Mulero’s studio, eight hands, four brains and a bunch of hardware and software tools colliding to redefine the standardized sound of today’s techno. Only those who were there in the beginning can understand in depth the sound design and groove of an always-futuristic sound as pure techno is or should be.

For this purpose they get rid of any superficial element, keeping it minimal and functional, starting with the experimental synthetic drones of the first cut Absolute Zero, an ever growing single wave filtered and mangled over the stereo field. Moving forward follows, dry kicks, distorted reduced sequences and subtle percussive elements going in and out wisely. Next audio assault is From out of Nowhere, a continuous synth line that is soon joined by a tremendous kick while mutating in shape and timbre all over the arrangement. 

Future Ride keeps spaces open, with an opaque sound palette in the beginning, spiced from time to time with harsh sweeps and distortion … a roller. Left Behind goes next, showcasing a clean obsessive synth line and building drum elements added progressively. Additional sound layers are added while minutes go on to spice things a bit.

Inverse and perverse acts as an interlude that brings us to the last cuts of this body of work. Rolling on the ground relies on broken distorted beats with diverse noise washes and additional sequences appearing randomly, a great mixing tool for those who know. Modernist Descents closes the collection, with shuffled random synth lines over a traditional kick / hat groove. The sound layers change and evolve constantly to make a super dynamic dance floor exercise.

*Note*
We understand that the world has changed immeasurably since Sanctuary was first announced back at the start of February. Many of you out there are now facing your own set of problems both financially and otherwise. That said, we decided that rather than to change the plan, it was better to forge ahead and still commit to sending 100% of the proceeds to the Wild To Free Sanctuary, NSW, Australia. COVID - 19 has of course impacted the rescue and rehabilitation efforts in the area, and so we remain committed to our original cause.
