Warp Records - part 12

The soundtrack of the audiovisual art piece Apophenia by Lasse Gudmand-Høyer.

Entrancing noise, apophenic visuals, and provoking presentations.

Apophenia is a sonically centred multidisciplinary work, that seeks to explore the in between and parallels of, sound-experience, performance, participation and visualisation. The project is anchored by a recurring soundtrack that takes the form of a collaborative, predominantly industrial, techno production, curated by Lasse Gudmand-Høyer. Meaningful patterns emerge in the rhythmic composition of vacuous noise, that simultaneously feel deeply disturbing and intensely entrancing. The 12 tracks, produced by a mix of Copenhageners- and internationals, lay the sonic foundation for Apophenia's two pillar components - an enigmatic video exhibition and a staged, performative rave. The album captures feelings of intense apophenia, visualised as movement of bodies in a highly instinctive, Rorschach's inkblot-like, diversity of interpretation.

The first physically manifested element of the project is a visual exhibition at inter.pblc. This experience, dubbed by the vacuous and entrancing soundtrack, consists of a film displayed on a large LED screen and a virtual reality headset. The video acts as an enigmatic, yet engaging, examination of the, otherwise reserved, rave topography. It features a collection of moving bodies, collectively, yet separately, entranced by the apophenic noise around them. Seeing these bodies and their movement, captured through a 360 degree camera lens, allows the viewer to attain a deeply immersive perspective from an active participant’s point of view. The film itself spawns a unique and eerie feeling, among the observer, that oscillates between that of a non-existing surveillant and a deeply involved participant. The VR headset functions, not as a central aspect of the exhibition, but merely as a dynamic angling tool that decides the video's rotational point of view. The purpose of the exhibition is to display a collection of moving bodies in a catalog-like display of conceptual personas. It acts as a teaser for the final aspect of the project.

Apophenia's culminating element is a rave at Basement in Copenhagen. Here, the soundtrack meets the visual representation of the exhibition in the most literal way. At its' center, this concluding part of the work is an exercise in connecting the parallels between sound-experience, performance, -participation and -visualisation, in the context of what seems to be no more and no less than a rave party. Yet, the event itself is staged with a performance-like auction of the conceptual ownership of the moving bodies, displayed at the inter.pblc exhibition, where all profits are donated to charity. The act, which in itself seems ethically controversial, seeks to comment on the duality of activism and monetisation by selling bodies as concepts, who, in the specific scenario, are no different than the observer, turned active participant.

PREMIERE: DJ LOSER - Experiment In Noise 1 (Apophenia OST)

First EP of the year and new skin for Matière, we warmly welcome Haroun Ben Hmida aka D3M0R on our label !
Junglists, be ready, this EP is an ode to amen breaks and we're so hyped to release such a great artist in here.

Founder of Radio Flouka, Haroun Ben Hmida aka D3M0R (pronounced demor) is a producer and DJ of Bass Music. Of Tunisian origin, based in Paris. His musical universe oscillates between Drum & Bass, Jungle and Breakbeat. 

It is by rubbing shoulders with the collectives of UK Bass and Dubstep in the years 2008-2010 such as World Full Of Bass or E-Fest in Tunisia, that Haroun has forged his style impregnated with UK influences. Very active on the underground scene, he launched in 2018, Radio Flouka, a web-radio, which seeks to promote emerging artists from the MENA region, while being open on the local and international scene. He also hosts a monthly show on the Greek web radio Movement Radio. 

Today, we are preparing the release of his new EP 'Night Walker' infused with 90's Jugnle influences. 
It will be released on Matière on February 4th, 2022 ! 

Here's a little preview, let us know what you think !

D3M0R - Night Walker EP [MAT004] (SNIPPETS)

DKTech returns to Rhythmic Beatz Records with his latest three-track EP, Keep the Groove.

DKTech delivers a masterclass in modern hypnotic hardgroove techno, a sound that channels the raw, pounding energy of the classic Berlin underground while pushing the genre's rhythmic boundaries. This EP is a high-octane journey into the heart of the dancefloor, built on deep, driving grooves, razor-sharp percussion, and an uncompromising focus on hypnotic intensity.

The three tracks are perfectly tuned peak-time weapons, embodying the "tough with groove" ethos of the hardgroove revival. Expect pounding kicks, intricate syncopated drums, and dark, looping synth textures that are both relentless and mesmerising. This is the sound of the contemporary European rave scene: fast, funky, and powerfully driving.

While our friends lay within uncertainty’s keep, we can have no rest. We run in our sleep, minds and hearts racing towards those dragged away from us. We wake up to anxious calls from faraway detention centers, garbled and cut short. We can't forget what it felt like to see them free, their beautiful faces cutting through the fog and crowd on the dancefloor. 

It's been a hard two weeks for us all. Thank you to those who have supported our efforts in freeing our friends so far -- words simply aren't enough. We present to you this compilation as an entreaty, pledge, and salve. All proceeds will go towards legal aid for our friends currently held under threat of deportation. We are preparing these funds and ourselves for a long, arduous fight. May this music also uplift you during these dark times -- we know everyone could use a bit of healing right now. 

Dimseniya is a benefit compilation by Friends for Friends. We are forever grateful to all the artists who so quickly agreed to be a part of this and gave away their music for free. All proceeds will go towards lawyer and/or bond fees for our dear friends. Let's keep them home. 

Thank you and we love you all. 

Please help by donating and sharing!



Special shout out to Taya, Zack, Bus, Molly, Hala, and Leticia for coming through, and making of all this happen. This would not have been possible without everyone's hard work. Big love.
