@design-default - Quartz Silica EP
Format: Digital
Release: December 2nd, 2022
Artwork by Benfika

Marking the 100th record of the imprint’s prolific history, Infinite Machine are proud to present the release of Quartz Silica EP by new-comer Design Default. A self-described ‘tone scientist’, the Parisian delivers a 5-track of uniquely textural compositions which map out a sonic world influenced by dystopian anime titles like Trigun & Neon Genesis Evangelion. Like many on the IM discography, Quartz Silica acts almost like a simulation or audio-film representation of an abstract space you’re invited to traverse.

The EP opens with ‘Between Wasteland and Sky’; percussive assault on your senses which clearly exemplifies Design Default’s meticulous approach to sound design. Every detail, every sample and every automation is carefully considered to add to the heightened affective theatrics heard here.

‘A.S.K’ follows things up on this release, a highly inventive composition with a loose structure that evolves from phrase-to-phrase, refusing to sit still. Design Default’s interest in jazz and free-form arrangements is married up with an angular sonic palette of industrial groans and splutters; generating the impression of hearing a glitch (or hiccup, even) in the machine. There’s something refreshingly playful about the maximalistic breakdown of ‘A.S.K’ akin to the wry smile found in some of AYA and her YCO label’s output.

After two highly frenetic tracks, Design Default turns the tempo down slightly with the groove-laden ‘S.E.E.D.S’. Layers of rich, fuzzy synapses phase in and out of prominence over a bed of complex drum programming. The producer deploys negative space here to great effect, with the absence of a drum hit or sample where you might expect one adding to the hypnotic rhythmic swing of ‘S.E.E.D.S’.

Rounding out the originals of Quartz Silica EP, ‘SILEX’ is a club-ready construction with a paint-shaking bassline which seems to slip downwards in pitch as if it can’t get steady footing. Again, Design Default’s tone science/alchemy shines through clearly here, with stutters of melodies, bursts of white noise and stacked drum patterns managing to sit cohesively in this dynamic expanse.

Fellow Parisian De Grandi jumps on remix duties for ‘S.E.E.D.S’ to finish off the EP. The Paradoxe Club signee adds further syncopation and strips the original’s elements down to its fundamental core. The results are a spectral creeper of a tune - built almost intentionally with dark, low ceiling environments in mind.

Cocktail Party Effect starts 2023 with his debut release on Nervous Horizon: ‘Fixing The Roof EP’.

The South London via Berlin artist known for his jaw dropping releases on Tectonic Recordings delivers 5 solid cuts all with their unique style. Made with a bunch of battered vintage hardware: in particular 90s samplers, synths, filters and distortion units paired with the latest computer software, this project really pushes the sound palette beyond conventional club music. 

The opening track Fixing The Roof feels like a classic Nervous Horizon track from the time the label first started gaining traction. Safety Button is the bass heavy - dance floor pounder of the lot, a must in every set! 767 enters the “jungle experimentation” realm reminiscent of early Paradox (DnB producer Dev Pandya). Gecko Slide & The Police Took My Garden Away present copious amounts of analog distortion and explosive drum patterns that are really at the heart of the Cocktail Party Effect modus operandi.

"Embrace your primal nature and let the frenzied beat lead you back to your ancestral roots". Leese and Capiuz join forces for a new split ep on Over My Body. Along with two mutual remixes of previous recordings and a brand new track from the experimental oriented duo.

Capiuz is the experimental dance project of producer and performer Luca Favaro. Based in Italy, his genre-merging production focuses on exploring rhythm and sound design in a club context. Often leaning towards live performances, Capiuz’s music takes the form of a heavy hitting outburst filled with heavy bass, breakcore progressions and granular textures.

Leese, based in Brussels, is an electronic music artist who has gained recognition for her unique style blending break and tribal influences. She recently signed two EPs with label Yuku, one of which was named the Best Bandcamp Release of April, and performs at clubs and festivals throughout Europe. On stage, Leese delivers a passionate and energetic performance, mesmerizing her audience with her powerful beats and enchanting atmospheres. She is becoming increasingly well-known in the electronic/bass music scene and her project is continually evolving and developing.

Straight out of Florence, Italy, OOH are a label that stand high upon their own mountain top. Across their growing catalogue, spanning twenty releases and counting, they bring a highly curated, avant-garde vibe with sound design lying at its core. They have played host to artists such as Peder Mannerfelt, Dale Cornish and Sim Hutchins among others. Continuing such a thread, they now prepare their twenty-first release from french duo, Glass, entitled 'crY' EP. 

Recently debuting with independent French label, Sante Records,Glass present a body of work that is full of meaning on 'crY' EP. Not simply a collection of productions but an expansive investigation into sound in the broadest sense. In their own words, 'crY' EP is 'a response to an explicit impulse to investigate modern commodification beyond its soothing, enjoyable and relaxing facade.' This can certainly be seen in Glass' sound design, juxtaposing elements of weirdo techno, jungle and experimental with nuances from gaming and other electronically related worlds.

On track 'Appointment Scheduling System', Glass have parsed a modernist take on jungle. The immediacy of unrelenting drum patterns pairs with raw samples from everyday life. Tension is built in the syncopation of elements from laser stabs to door knocks, the track is a pummeling fistful of energy.
