"Back to basics with a Sci-Fi / Hypno ep in the vein of the first releases, 
we welcome Axis artist: Ma Haiping for his second appearance on Seclusion, 

with a remix from one of the masters of this techno style: Jeoen Search, active since the 90s, always at the forefront of news with quality productions, as recently proven by his album on Key vinyl.

Seclusion label head Elyas completes the ep with his personal touch on the second remix."

The Invicible (Jeroen Search Remix)

NODE is a platform that started in 2017 as a cycle of musical proposals in Barcelona, with events oriented towards the city's club scene and a sound expressly aimed at techno.  Among the objectives that were set from the beginning, it is worth highlighting the good atmosphere and the synchrony between the dancefloor and the stage, and always maintaining the habit of having national and international artists such as Anthony Linell, Shifted, Psyk, Svreca, ORBE, Architectural or Luigi Tozzi among many others in the booth.

This philosophy of always having different artists of great level for each event, is also transferred to their recording activity, as there is no release that is composed by a single author, each artist participates with a single track. 

Dario Duegra, who is at the helm of this project, founded NODE Recordings in 2020 as a fraction of the platform, maintaining and transmitting the identity of the musical concept. This September, coinciding with its third anniversary, the label launches Neural Haze, the first reference of this label released on vinyl format.
 
The Italian CONCEPTUAL opens with Selva Oscura, a cut that mixes intensity with the hypnotism caused by the continuous succession of patterns that modulate gradually. And this description can be perfectly applicable to the remaining 5 tracks, as Noir, by Dario Duegra, Dex31, a cut by the Argentinian Farceb, Thorax, by the Spanish producer ORBE, and No Fear, a track by the also Italian Sciahri, follow a similar pattern to the first cut, with linear techno and a lot of pressure. On the other hand, Out of Time, which is the closing track of the album and is signed by the Detroit artist Uun, is a much more mental and less solid techno, however, the psychological factor is basically created with a very detailed and elaborate combination of percussive elements, especially in terms of panning. 

Release date: September 20th, 2023.

Uun - Out of Time [NODE Recordings]

Lakej is one of the remarkable creators of the Swedish techno scene, constantly delivering the most exquisite electronic music productions.
"Out Of Context" is an absolute paragon, a story composed by 5 original tracks and 2 remixes from Michel Lauriola and Oliver Rosemann.

Shame and Guilt is the foundation, with an angelic pad making it's way through crackle and noise, generating a super dense atmosphere.

Re-Exposed can be defined as a mental trippy number, full of power and mystery, originated by the loopy bass and forceful use of impacts.

Tests of Loyalty is driven forward by a harsh kick drum, repetitive tom patterns, and a sharp pad building up tension. A haymaker to be thrown at any dance floor.

The Breach, full of rage and vigour, explores the most violent edge of pure rhythmic propulsion. Layers everywhere determine the top notch quality of this banger.

Cognitive Recall, a dance oriented cut, has a very effective and simple storytelling. Huge Bass drum and percussion dynamics are the main ingredients of this tune.

Michel Lauriola's interpretation of The Breach comes in heavy with an infectious stabbing main synth, that imposes as the principal element of this exquisite re work.

Oliver Rosemann's version of Cognitive Recall is aggressive and feral. High pitched pad creates confusion and agitation, the perfect ambiance to conclude this chronicle.

We hope you enjoy this release as much as we do!

Premiere of "Archaism" by JRD, taken from "Archaism" EP, forthcoming on EXTEND Records 

Pre - Order: 
https://extend.bandcamp.com/album/archaism-ep

Label: EXTEND Records
Artist: JRD
Title: Archaism  EP 
Cat.Number: XTND001
Format: Digital 
Release Date:  November 15, 2023

Italian based EXTEND Records is delighted to present its first release: JRD debut EP ‘Archaism’. Hailing from Antwerp (Belgium), JRD has made his own identity in the Techno scene being a respected and estabilished figure in Belgium for more than 30 years. He first unveiled his work to the public as a producer on a few compilations starting in 2021 via Token, Mindtrip and Prophet. JRD now makes his first appearance on a full-lenght EP with 4 cuts of classic techno sounds, a journey through his own signature, including a remix by no other than Conrad Van Orton. 

Starting with ‘The Search’ a track built on atmospheric shifts and a solitary bass drum that certainly sets the tone of the entire EP and opens to the dream with suspense. JRD then takes down the narrative tone notch to make space for 'Archaism'. Several drones and ambiences floating over a repetitive groove wisely administrated for an exceptional mental hypnosis. We are then gripped by an eclectic third track, 'Rude', a relentless rhytm with driving synth line perfectly arranged and plied along its run time to generate a palpable tension. Jordy then guides us to the final journey of 'Responder', an ethereal conclusion to an suspenseful adventure. To top it off, the release is provided with a remix that leaves no room for interpretations. Italian longstanding artist Conrad Van Orton turns the title track ‘Archaism' into a true peak-hour beast.

Is - @Poligraf 10/14/23

With Dwellers, language and symbolism run deep as CAIV, a new collaboration from Israel Vines and Camille Altay, challenges listeners to embrace the ambiguity of existence, and accept incongruity as a vital part of the whole.

CAIV was borne of the partnership initiated on Israel Vines' 2021 track, Keeping, and Dwellers delves into the realms of sound, semiotics, and half-obscured meanings, starting with the word-association from the pair's chosen moniker that led to the EP's title.

As Vines explains, "CAIV is obviously our initials combined, and we both liked the "cave" references that it brought to mind - digging, exploring, existing pre-modernity and continuing underground through the ages."

Across the four tracks CAIV use both language and rhythm to create a dense strata of significance and buried meaning - titles like G&ouml;belki Tepe and &Ouml;tzi 2.0 reference prehistoric relics whose full history is unlikely to ever be unearthed, while Cymbalism and Shamanfreude exhibit a joy in word play that hints at the very old and modern at the same time.

Altay explains this further, "This convergence of pre-civilized ironies, opposites, conundrums, conjectures, this is what I love about these great human discoveries. There is no definitive answer - someone hazards a guess that is grasping for meaning. We can only feel our way towards the truth of it, based on the signs and symbols we know and have associations with."

Fittingly, the music itself is deep and reverberant - combining primaeval rhythms with modern sound production and unexpected instrumentation. The opening track, Cymbalism, is built around samples of Altay interacting with Polish artist Alicia Kwade's TunnelTeller - a sculpture they describe as "resonant metal tubes and concrete, resembling an instrument waiting to be played"; again this neophile urge to do things differently leads them paradoxically to techniques that might have been second nature to humans thousands of years ago.

Altay can't fully put a name to this drive: "I feel like in the music we write, Israel and I are grasping toward a language that we both share and grew up speaking, but can't actually write down. It's referential, and specific, but hard to describe&hellip;we live on opposite sides of the country, so the music we send back and forth feels a lot like we're signalling to each other by lighting fires on a mountain. It's a way to communicate deeply over a great expanse with a nonlinear gesture." It is this instinct to transmit experience in novel ways which drives the CAIV project.

This being said, the first cut is by French legend @ArnaudLeTexier, providing Shelter, a relentless continuous driller in the best Birmingham tradition, no mercy here, direct weapon for the dancefloor.

Groof (@roberto-gemelin-353716488), the Spanish techno originator puts his machinery to work on Motorn, straight rhythms, carefully crafted sound design, all into a super clever arrangement administered at a human BPM rate, something rare to see these days.

@Cararamusic keeps the pace with CFBDSIR 2149-0403 again a straightforward groove, percussive and intense, with a superb metallic synth line keeping things busy.

On Galactic Tech, @Alavux dives into sci-fi realm but with a lofi approach on textures and sounds, no pads here, just adrenaline.

Label owner @G02 put his focus on the nineties tradition with Switch On, a classic track full of soul and old school vibes.

Last but not least, @Amby_Iguous, put the cherry on the pie with Movements, a superb vocal sample workout with Reese style bassline, absolute magic for the best sound systems out there.
