In the spring of 2017 Doza (Carlos Mendoza) was combing the the beach of Inapupan, a small island in the Philippines, when he saw something both strange and familiar: a weathered bit of shell peaking out of the sand with orange and ivory tiger stripes. He recognized it as the armor of a nautilus, one of the planet's oldest and deepest-diving animals. He held it in his hand, imagining the bioluminescent monsters it’s creator might have witnessed during its dark, cold dives. “Nautilus” is a latin word derived from the ancient greek “nautilo” meaning “sailor.” A sailor himself, Doza arrived home inspired to soundtrack this creature’s funky nautical journey. 

Electronic musicians today have access to a vast ocean of sounds from soft-synths, soft-samplers, mobile apps, boutique hardware and modular synths. When Doza began making music in the late 90s as half of LawnChair Generals (with Peter Christianson), the equipment available was expensive and cumbersome by today’s standard. In a way those limitations were a blessing in that they forced the Generals to extract as much function and creativity out of each piece of equipment as possible, and to learn their instruments inside and out. 

To stay focused on The Nautilus, Doza eschewed soft-synths and complicated outboard set-ups for the sounds from one of his first pieces of equipment, the PC2x. This tank-like stage keyboard was created in 2001 by Kurzweil Music Systems, a company founded by renowned futurist Raymond Kurzweil and Stevie Wonder (yes, that Stevie Wonder).

Although short on sounds relative to other larger keyboards of the time, the PC2x has the famous Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology (V.A.S.T.) and, in the hands of a tinkerer, is capable of morphing, organic, other-worldly tones. The result of this self-limited production technique applied to the deep-sea daydream is The Nautilus, an immersive dance floor voyage complete with evolving drones, pitching and swelling textures, and growling encounters in a swirled up auditory expanse. All of this sits atop a disco-tech structure and latin battery that is vintage Doza, supporting a locomotive synth bassline that dives and rises again like the intrepid little creature of the deep that inspired it.

DJ Skif — Follow Me (Kotelett & Zadak Remix)

Currently spotted whipping up heat on their own IMPRESSUM imprint, Fideles return to Jennifer Cardini’s label with this beautiful four-track bounty that leads with the epic ‘Brain Machine’. Juiced up with pristine Italo vitality, it’s hooky, addictive and laced with positive charm. It could just be Fideles’ most universal track to date (which is saying something)

‘Brain Machine’ is in good company, too. ‘Conjunction’ is a true cosmic trooper with a breakdown that will turn you to jelly, ‘Glasses’ is a dark and electrode rabbit hole while ‘Blow’ sends us home for the holidays on a flying carpet of blissful synths.

Blow

There are no signs of Ivory slowing down. And at least for now, he brings out another track which showcases his constantly-growing talent for producing big built-up dance-floor gems made to make us smile and let loose once in full effect. ‘Cathedral’ is undeniably no different. It takes its name from one of Ivory’s favourite short stories, by writer Raymond Carver - a slow-burning piece about a blind man visiting his long-term friend and her husband, where in the end the husband relieves all grudges against the blind man, and draws a Cathedral with him. Originating with a trippy four-to-the-floor structure, which explodes at every last count, ruthless tremors spell out the impending frustration as foretold via the husband narrator in the beginning of the story; a repeated sequence to indicate the continual annoyance as so put upon us. As a secondary beat builds up, we can feel the tension becoming bigger than ever. Yet beginning as downcast in their monotone manner, the computerised rasps take a turn for the majorised chord and build up the suspense. Packed full of the gargoyle screams and swirling around like the smoke dribbling from the mouth of the blind man in the story, the tension erupts in unmeasurable dilation. A meaty build up of suspension of the rage running through the air, the final quarter boils the tension downwards to relieve the angst and replaces itself in a rather relieved manner to fade us out with the flashes of positivity.

Mastering by Francesco Papaleo.
