@design-default - Quartz Silica EP
Format: Digital
Release: December 2nd, 2022
Artwork by Benfika

Marking the 100th record of the imprint’s prolific history, Infinite Machine are proud to present the release of Quartz Silica EP by new-comer Design Default. A self-described ‘tone scientist’, the Parisian delivers a 5-track of uniquely textural compositions which map out a sonic world influenced by dystopian anime titles like Trigun & Neon Genesis Evangelion. Like many on the IM discography, Quartz Silica acts almost like a simulation or audio-film representation of an abstract space you’re invited to traverse.

The EP opens with ‘Between Wasteland and Sky’; percussive assault on your senses which clearly exemplifies Design Default’s meticulous approach to sound design. Every detail, every sample and every automation is carefully considered to add to the heightened affective theatrics heard here.

‘A.S.K’ follows things up on this release, a highly inventive composition with a loose structure that evolves from phrase-to-phrase, refusing to sit still. Design Default’s interest in jazz and free-form arrangements is married up with an angular sonic palette of industrial groans and splutters; generating the impression of hearing a glitch (or hiccup, even) in the machine. There’s something refreshingly playful about the maximalistic breakdown of ‘A.S.K’ akin to the wry smile found in some of AYA and her YCO label’s output.

After two highly frenetic tracks, Design Default turns the tempo down slightly with the groove-laden ‘S.E.E.D.S’. Layers of rich, fuzzy synapses phase in and out of prominence over a bed of complex drum programming. The producer deploys negative space here to great effect, with the absence of a drum hit or sample where you might expect one adding to the hypnotic rhythmic swing of ‘S.E.E.D.S’.

Rounding out the originals of Quartz Silica EP, ‘SILEX’ is a club-ready construction with a paint-shaking bassline which seems to slip downwards in pitch as if it can’t get steady footing. Again, Design Default’s tone science/alchemy shines through clearly here, with stutters of melodies, bursts of white noise and stacked drum patterns managing to sit cohesively in this dynamic expanse.

Fellow Parisian De Grandi jumps on remix duties for ‘S.E.E.D.S’ to finish off the EP. The Paradoxe Club signee adds further syncopation and strips the original’s elements down to its fundamental core. The results are a spectral creeper of a tune - built almost intentionally with dark, low ceiling environments in mind.

HYPR105 BAD ZU - BAD LUCK 
Bandcamp: badzu.bandcamp.com/album/bad-luck

Bad Zu, now an international multimedia band, is releasing their third album on Hyperboloid, their first in four years. Three years in the making, "Bad Luck" reflects the uncertain and vulnerable times we live in right now. "Bad Luck" represents the rollercoaster of emotions that was experienced by all of us in the last three years, not only the group led by Philipp Alexandrov. There's a place for hope in a track called "Safe Place" and a place for loss in "Death Around the Corner." The album was finishing on the run — in the buses, gas stations, and motels — and it shows in its constantly changing, always moving sound representing vitality and chaos.

Attention to detail in the sound of "Bad Luck" is astounding; as Alexandrov says about the approach to making the album, "It helped us rethink the importance of music to ourselves." For years, Bad Zu was known for its energetic and astonishing performances, and you can feel their live vibe completely in "Siren Vogue" thanks to the recordings of the crowd. There's also the tribute to the night club Mutabor on the eponymous track: the dark rhythms with a take on tribal music fit the name perfectly. As always with Bad Zu, many worldwide rhythms and melodies don't dwell on any particular ethnic sound: that sophisticated approach matches the universal themes of "Bad Luck." Many filtered and sliced vocal parts create a sense of dialogue with a listener and get the feeling of a deep dive into the Bad Zu world, more considered than ever.

BAD ZU - DEATH IS AROUND THE CORNER

Listen to "Bal ancestral" by Namscha taken from DÔME VA.07 out on 23rd June via DÔME

Buy: https://fanlink.to/domva07_various-artists

Before the great celebration of Astropolis summer (Brest, France), its label DÔME, which highlights the local scene from French Brittany strikes back with a new Various EP and presents four new talents of its 2023 contest from the four corners of Brittany. This second compilation focuses on the darkness of the depths, from dark ambient to acid techno, between ritual rhythms and industrial sounds.

Namscha, from north Brittany, takes uneven paths where sounds tumble, clash, follow each other or slip away. Her Bal ancestral, dark and bizarre, blurs the border between nature and technology with sounds borrowed from both ritual music and modern tools. 

The four Breton artists sign here a well-calibrated EP and explore, each in their own way, the darkest corners of techno. The final object surprises by the richness of its sound palette as much as by the harmony of its whole. Catch Rheist, Noctam, Namscha and Ephere at Astropolis this summer (June 28th > July 2nd) alongside Boys Noize, VTSS & Nene H, Daniel Avery & Helena Hauff, LSDXOXO, Josey Rebelle or Salome.
