Continuing on from his Odyssey EP released in 2013, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles creates atmosphere and space whilst exploring waves of sound and rhythm, and the power of colour. With Sonne Ryan creates music to structure itself around a pulse, rather than the pulse being the defining point. 

The title track begins with “a very subtle set of melodies that repeat almost without confidence, and then gradually give way to a huge collage of colour and power”, as Ryan describes it. Not relying on a conventional beat, it’s a prime example of how an analogue synthesiser can create the power and momentum of a rhythm section. From the distorted waves in 3 Chords, growing and shrinking, to the rhythmic waves of constant speeding up and then slowing down in Recovery, it’s the Moog Voyager, Prophet and tape delay that make up the core sound of the EP. Whilst tracks like Helios, Haunt and Think Tank see West play live drums and acoustic guitar.

“I’m often looking at art in exhibitions and I always think to myself ‘why the hell don’t I have this much colour in my work?’ The answer in part I think is down to synthesis. It is very difficult to create colour without it sounding plastic. Colour in music is both the note combinations and the actual timbre of the sounds. There are lots of instances of very colourful ambient sounds, which I took great care to create for each song, using various methods – from passing analogue synths through chains of effects to chopping up random sequences of recordings and forming tiny collages." – Ryan Lee West 

ABOUT THE ARTWORK:  

Resembling the colour and vibrancy in his music, the cover art was created by South London artist Supermundane, who was also responsible for the artwork of the Odyssey EP.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Some might be surprised that London based electronic producer Ryan Lee West, the man behind Rival Consoles, shares a home with contemporary classical composers such as Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds and Peter Broderick. And yet they have a lot more in common than expected. Fascinated by sound from an early age, Ryan chose to dedicate his time to studying, experimenting with and producing sound graduating from De Montfort University in Leicester. One consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic, humanised sound. Ryan often drafts early ideas on piano, violin and guitar, although the end result is much more electronic-laden. As an accomplished sound designer he has repeatedly performed at the Tate, and recently created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A. Ryan is currently composing music for a soon to be announced BBC production.

LIVE:	
	
After supporting Luke Abbott on his recent UK tour and I Break Horses on their North American tour in spring, Ryan will debut his new live set with a special release show in London, followed by a string of West Coast U.S. dates culminating in Decibel Festival in late September – more details to be announced soon.

Read the review from @theuntz: http://www.theuntz.com/news/liquid-stranger-leads-off-desert-dwellers-the-great-mystery-remixes-v1/

Earlier this year Desert Dwellers released their most diverse album in the duo's long career. The Great Mystery was the first full length collaborative project between the main founders Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, and featured a wide range of styles and aesthetics from downtempo and psychedelic dub to tribal trance to exotic house and techno flavors.

To celebrate the special release, Desert Dwellers have curated an ambitious two-part remix album full of contributions from some of the brightest luminaries and rising talents across the underground electronic music landscape. The Great Mystery Remixes Part 1 is slated for a September 21st release, and features sonic reinterpretations from Gaudi, Liquid Stranger, Hibernation, An-ten-nae, Kaminanda, AtYya, Tribone, Twin Shape, Land Switcher, Drumspyder, and Govinda. The second part will be released in late October with contributions from Emancipator, Whitebear, Sixis, Mystral, Supersillyus, Halfred, Master Minded, and many others. With artists from across the globe and musical genres, these carefully crafting renditions of Desert Dwellers' The Great Mystery are a potent combination of immersive soundscapes that pay a loving tribute to the original compositions.

In late 2013, Jayd released a series of three singles that garnered some great attention from A&R’s and record labels across North America. With Jayd Ink’s captivating sound and sought after songwriting, it is no wonder why audiences have been drawn to her unique style and alluring stage presence.

Starting off as a pas-time, Jayd was able to refine her sound and develop her many skills into a career as a featured artist.  While it may have been easier to subscribe to one genre, Jayd felt it was necessary to diversify her songwriting talents in order to con-tinue challenging herself and remaining open to different genres.

"Jayd" is a given nickname that she got when born. It came from Mick Jagger's daughter Jade at the time. "Ink" represents how she started her journey, pursuing to be a songwriter. 

Jayd Ink has performed at a variety of events around the To-ronto Area including Manifesto -2014 and The Drake. She’s also performed at number of events in Atlanta GA including Apache and Kats Cafe. She hopes to excite listeners with her debut release of Invitation Only, due Sept 8th.

Following first play from Benji B, i-D premiere Plastician's brand new track, Sorcery. "I was trying to make stuff that sat somewhere between a grime instrumental and New York club influences too. I've been drawing a lot from both of those sounds in my current sets so I always try to fill the gaps with my own productions," says the Terrorhythm owner. "This one is the first of a bunch of different tracks I'm hoping to trickle out on the label before the end of the year. Having concentrated on DJ'ing and running the label mostly over the past few years, I'm not looking to re-introduce myself as a producer. "

“Chasing The Midnight Sky” comes as the first full length album from The Digital Connection in over two years. The young producer leans toward downtempo inspirations for the 10 track collection, with distinct nods to greats such as Tipper, Bonobo, and Telefon Tel Aviv. That’s not to say he’s moved away from bass-centered compositions: many of his varied influences shine brightly throughout. Pulling from a vast collection of self-made field recordings, the Colorado native time and again constructs mystical ambiance filled with surreptitious audile treasures. As per the expected, the LP arrives as a free/pay-what-you-want release via Gravitas Music.

Each track is in itself a different journey. Upbeat yet melancholy, “When I Miss You” is a beautiful illustration of such a common desire. “Deeper” takes the listener through underwater temples from a lost civilization. Tasteful acoustic guitar takes primary focus in the highly atmospheric “Brave Moon”. Launching with a staggered, lurching beat, “If Only You Knew” intelligently uses an odd time signature to spice up the release. “Inevitable Transition” resolves the album with a highly psychedelic odyssey, successfully clearing the palette for whatever may come next.

The Digital Connection - Until We Wake

Powder is a young producer raised in rural Japan, now living in Tokyo. She wakes daily at 6AM, squeezes onto a packed subway and commutes to a bland office building where her day is consumed by the electronics industry — a banal world of blank stares, uniforms, data entry and soliciting phone calls. She cherishes her lunch break, a solitary hour of astral projection where her daydreams cull inspiration for another life, her nocturnal routine. At 9PM the day closes, as her co-workers flock to the Izakaya for beers, Powder rushes to her micro home-studio to exorcize her daily demons, constructing a tropical temple to house her immaculate vision. She slaves away, unabashed until sunrise, when her routine begins again, however, today's lunch break is an escape into her headphones where she will revisit her soundtrack inspired by lights, colors, hometown memories, and the imaginary worlds where the fruits of her labor will live.

Prepare to be saved! Following their 2014 collaborative album 'Lo-Fi Classics’, multi-instrumentalist producer Mr Bird and astoundingly talented singer Greg Blackman revisit one of the record's highlights, alongside a trio of brand new remixes. 'Save Me' is a delightful slice of anthemic, gospel tinged soul-jazz, combining an irrepressible, toe-tapping groove with a truly memorable call and response vocal hook.

First up on remix duty, Renegades of Jazz takes 'Save Me' into funky breakbeat territory. Delivering on his promise to "bring the Jazz back to the dancefloor" the German producer's remix is bass-heavy and club-ready.

Next, Ill Advised drops a highly polished jazz version, smooth and seductive, with tight drums and a slick groove. 

The Paragons of Goodness close out the package with a scratchy, P Funk rework, making great use of horn stabs and adding a truly addictive bass-line all of their own.
