“Tetramorph,” the new EP from Daniele Antezza’s Inner8, consolidates and expands upon the gains previously made by that project, as well as those made by the acclaimed Dadub production team. Like all previous Antezza productions, it is distinguished by its exactly proportional mix of fluid and ephemeral sound phenomena with rain showers of colossal beats: an alchemical mix which brings us the three-dimensional atmosphere suggested by the Holotone label’s name. “Tetramorph” is no mere reprise of previous recordings, though: with this new work, Antezza again challenges himself to see how his signature style works when it is underpinned by a new set of theoretical or critical ideas, making for a listening experience that is both a thorough examination of existing musical dynamics and a suggestion of a new way forward.
Each of the four tracks on this EP represents a different phase in a four-fold process of creative praxis. The first phase, “Self Determination,” lays a thick latticework of beats over Middle Eastern marketplace ambience in a way that recalls prime Muslimgauze, particularly that project’s skill in making the foreign seem intimately near. “Iteration” follows “Self-Determination” on the EP just as it does within carefully planned lives. This 2nd track does not motor ahead with great ease, but instead the tempo drops sharply and becomes mired in a kind of transparent gelatinous substance, strongly suggesting that new iterations often mean new challenges, and hold out no guarantees of progress. By contrast, the following track “Consolidation” glides with an aerodynamic sense of freedom that is realized through a synthesis of rational and irrational strategies (themselves manifested in Antezza’s trademark beat shudders and carefully controlled noise-scapes). The closing chapter, “Aufhebung,” is assisted by Koichi Shimizu and places the listener in a central observation chamber from which all these past dynamic changes can be hazily perceived through a sea of electromagnetic interference. As the philosophical meaning of the title suggests, it provides a kind of paradoxical elevation through deconstruction, or the achievement of a greater sense of clarity even as the sonic dirt accumulates.
As Antezza puts it, Holotone’s mission is to communicate “using an unmediated language (art) to express the complexity of our hyper-mediated world”. Having achieved this, “Tetramorph” is music that offers as much of an opportunity for deep inquiry as it does for personal release.

Electric Indigo has been working as international DJ and musician for more than 20 years. Her name stands for the intelligent interpretation of Techno and electronic music. She started to explore live improvisation and free musical experimentation in 2002. In doing so with musicians like Pia Palme, Annelie Gahl or Dorit Chrysler, she disregards usual genre limits. 
Important works in recent years comprise multi-channel compositions like "Chiffres" [premiere at Wien Modern / e_may Festival 2012], "ABSTRIAL" [a contemporary opera and collaborative work with Pia Palme, Paola Bianchi and Ivan Fantini, premiere at KosmosTheater, Vienna, 2013], "109.47 degrees" [premiere at Dunkle Zeiten Festival, Vienna, 2014], "Morpheme" [a/v version with visuals by Thomas Wagensommerer, premiere at CTM Festival, Berlin, 2015].
Her new record "Cinq/Zero" was released on Suicide Circus Dark Series in January 2015. Together with Trishes, Electric Indigo will curate the Popfest Vienna 2015.

Dissonanze 15 | Electric Indigo

We are extremely happy to premiere Dadub's  "Nusuth" from their upcoming release,  on Daniele Antezza's record label, HOLOTONE. 
Release date: 21/01/2019.

Daniele Antezza and his Dadub partner in crime, Marco Donnarumma are launching a kind of  miniseries, inspired by the reggae-dub tradition, through Daniele's imprint Holotone.
These series will  be limited editions, without any reissues.

Dadub's "Nusuth" (plus Ena Version) is the 2nd chapter of the Holotone Limited Series, invented for the purpose to create a place free from preconceived notions and format boundaries, changing from release to release with varying forms of content.


And with their own words: ... "there is  actually no concept behind that, just our love for Dub music. We will invite several artists, and this time we asked Ena, one of the music producers we respect the most. The name "Nusuth" comes from Ursula Le Guin's "The Left Hand Of Darkness", and it was a word used by the cult of Handdarata...a bit difficult to translate..it might be expressed as 'no matter".

Premiere:  Dadub- Nusuth (Holotone)

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Umwelt - Superior Life Forms [Midnight Shift]

taken from: Umwelt - Superior Life Form LP
release date: 11 October 2019

Umwelt allies with Midnight Shift for the release of the mini LP Superior Life Forms, featuring six devastating tracks on the vinyl release and an exclusive number seven for the digital release.
Known for his take no prisoners approach to searing hardware-based broken electro with the spirit of 90s French rave parties where he participated in, Umwelt himself is founder of labels such as Fundata, New Flesh Records and Rave or Die, and a diehard scene activist, pushing the resistance for the past twenty years and more.
A dark, sci-fi bleak horror theme runs through his prolific cosmos of productions and Superior Life Forms continues the narrative. It’s a tri-invasion attack between man, machine and foreign sentient beings. From the snarling Shadow Entity creeping from the sidelines to the ominous sound of the day of reckoning depicted on title track, Superior Life Forms, Umwelt has full control of the genre – telling a story with tightly programmed sounds, deadly textural atmospherics and an uneasy, foreboding tension of a world signalling its end.

Futurism and Rave Culture.
It was made on a home-made computer. And that was what I would do and that’s how this started.

// EXTRACT
“Rave culture was exploding and everyone was trying to make a bit of cash and make it bigger and bigger”. Guerrilla explained. “That’s when I got into the whole world of electronic music. It was all the same thing - just people going off on a musical journey”

//TRANSFORM
That journey was the same experience which G-Dragon had with electronic music when he was 16.
“I went to the Local art festival, and people would be partying all night long and just on drugs and paying for anything. It was a nightmare”, said G-Dragon.
He recalls how his friends who went to the art festival were “just totally on drugs. It was a real nightmare to go into that crowd”

[Premiere] SWARMM - EXHALE (out on Holotone)

Sound can be metaphorically compared to something which can show to our consciousness that reality is often not what it seems to be, exactly as the hypothetical holographic nature of our universe can reveal to our perception.

Holotone does not limit itself to any particular genre but rather emphasise the freedom of the artists to express their vision as they see fit.
