The first single from “Pulses and Resonances”, Rene Lorenzo’s debut album on Subtempo, set to release on vinyl on February 2nd. 

This album represents a culmination of more than 20 years of electronic music exposure as a DJ and a clear point of view. We can hear influences of broken beat, techno, drum & bass, all through the unique lens that Rene brings to the table, deeply steeped in ambient, deep techno and downtempo. Even though this isn’t a dance record, it’s filled with energy and drive. It is an out-of-the-ordinary album, with intricate shifts and turns with well-crafted kick drums, round bass lines and enveloping subs. A record filled with warm sounds, head-nodding rhythms, and rich textured spaces. It’s all woven into an easy-listening experience, without demanding the listener’s full attention, but creating a landscape that is unique and varied throughout. We can hear references to artists like Boards of Canada, Jan Jenilek, Synkro and the like.

“In this record, every track has a different pulse or rhythm, and I use different resonators in the sound design process to achieve these tones. I started by leaving the space open with the ambient pads and hardly any rhythm, and I’d let myself be carried away by my sense of rhythm slowly building the compositions. I am obsessive with audio processing and I almost never leave a sound in its initial form. I like to add some subtle effect that sounds like something different and give new sounds to the elements I use.”

“Pulses and Resonances” is out via Subtempo on vinyl and digital on February 2nd. Pre-order: https://cellularmemory.bandcamp.com/album/pulses-resonances

"I wanted this mix to be equally suitable for raving and for a deep-listening session. It represents how i like to play for the dance-floor : angular, twisted, 3-dimensional and sexy. I included a couple of tracks of mine, a few of them are unreleased yet.
Some others by undeniable legends, some by emerging talented producers.
There’s also a track by Gigi FM, with whom I’ll play B2B at Awakenings... Very much looking forward to that weekend.
I want to send my gratitude to the creators of the tracks i used to build this musical journey. You’ll find their names in the track-list below and if you like this mix, I encourage you to dig further and check out the rest of their discographies. Hope you’ll enjoy the ride!"

Returning to трип after last year’s fantastic ‘cheerful pessimist’ EP, Vladimir Dubyshkin presents ‘budni nashego kolhoza’, an abstract portrait of the ‘everyday life of a collective farm.’

On these driving, iridescent tracks Dubyshkin is as self-assured as he is unhinged. He advances with a controlled intensity – taunting vocal cuts loop and spiral over pulsating, muscular rhythms that seem moments away from derailing. It’s a gripping descent into delirium, dragged ankle-first by Dubyshkin.

vladimir dubyshkin - grasshopper's opinion

Travel late at night through empty streets of the cities we call home, lost to music as the urban landscape passes us by.

Night City

As two-man legion from Kolkata, India, Soumajit and Aneesh joined forces in establishing Hybrid Protokol in 2015. Progressive electronica blended with breaks, acid and techno has become their main speciality over the years.
 
Inspired by 80s & 90s electronic acts, including the likes of Junkie XL, Chemical Brothers or Underworld, as well as modern acts including Nina Kraviz, Paul Rose aka. Scuba or Mastin Stimming, their productions stigmatize aggressive​ ​bass lines, funky breaks, and melodic arpeggiations. 
 
In addition to leveraging field recordings and ambient soundscapes within their primarily analog studio setting, the boys also perform live using an array of synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers. Aneesh’s feel for the manipulation of Soumajit’s distinct sounds has led to a unique mix of skills responsible for the punchy, dynamic sounds HP is known for today.
 
During live performances, the duo leverages its passion for, and power over music technology to generate a reverb of infectious energy, indulging the crowds to fully immerse into the music. 
 
In 2016, Hybrid Protokol was nominated as “Best Newcomer Electronica Artist in India” by the Radiocity Freedom Awards.
