“Paper Ruins” is a dramatic and melancholic debut from Sozorie, an up-and-coming producer from Minsk, Belarus. Beautiful experimental ambient and arty electronica inspired by “visionary architecture,” the kind of architecture that is not realistic and only exists on paper.

Nikolay Steshitz, the person behind Sozorie, is really enjoying creating what he calls “controlled aggression” in his sound. Indeed, even the lushest moments of “Paper Ruins” possess a certain tension, buried underneath the elusive melodies and the rubbery beats.

The album showcases a rich production palette. Some synth work here sounds “classic,” repurposing the classic IDM/electronica/downtempo canon. But then everything changes, and we get more penetrative, siren-like hyperboles that clash against glitches, kick drums, and distorted clangs shaping rhythmic passages not dissimilar to early Amnesia Scanner. Sozorie ties all of these broad influences into a knot and carefully places them inside a narrative, and it does feel like a scaled paper model of a brilliant, strange building. Steshitz comes up with a fresh vision and an excellent record equal parts a home listening trip and great material for the more adventurous DJs.

Great sequels take time. Think about Terminator 2, Before Sunset or Return to Oz. They all surpassed the originals – which were great in their own right – but required years of reflection and hard work on the part of the creators. Damscray understands this. His previous EP for Hyperboloid, Make Me Juke, was released ten years ago. Its bursts of energy are still fascinating today but it remains, in some senses, a straightforward footwork record.

Make Dem Rhythm marks the opening of a new chapter for Damscray, and is one of his first releases since 2013. The musician claims that at some point he simply stopped releasing music, but has been working on various projects all this time. It shows: this new album feels like the work of a master who doesn’t want to bind himself to any particular genre. Technically it’s still a footwork record like its predecessor, but you can hear strong influences of jungle, dub, reggae and Warp-like IDM. Imagine Squarepusher doing footwork and you’d be on the right path to understanding Damscray’s new sound. The structures of the tracks are constantly twisting and turning, while lo-fi samples collide with glossy beats. In his own words, “I still think that juke and footwork have the best vibe in electronic music,” and you can certainly feel this vibe throughout Make Dem Rhythm.

[Premiere] Max Dahlhaus – Artificial Prodigy (Born In Flamez Remix)

Третий эпизод подкаста сокураторки радио Элины Большенковой "Глубокое слушание", гость – Леонид Кравченко, автор телеграм-канала What’s That Noise. https://t.me/whats_that_noise 

Я попросила Леонида составить плейлист для нашей радиопередачи – 4 самые любимые песни вообще и 4 любимые вещи 2021 года, медленно подходящего к своему завершению. Получилась чрезвычайно неожиданная подборка, которая стала отправной точкой для шуток, рассказывания историй из жизни, для дискуссий, например, о разделении поп и экспериментал музона или о том, нужно ли отменять Бойда Райса. Ни к чему определенному и строгому мы не пришли (не в этом была суть разговора), но мы хорошо смеялись! Лично мне кажется получившийся формат максимально удачным и крутым – в описании к подкасту на саундкалуде вы можете найти все-все ссылки на звучащую музыку и материалы, упомянутые Леонидом в эпизоде. Я благодарю его за доверие, и благодарю случай за возможность записать выпуск, физически находясь в одном помещении. 

ps в записи возникли небольшие артефакты, они вряд ли помешают прослушиванию, но кого-то могут встревожить

It's difficult to talk about sound. When we close our eyes and listen, there are no boundaries and as such, what we feel can often not be described with the words we know. Our feelings are unique & different. 
There is no word or genre that unites the artists of the label. Putting a word on a style, in order to classify, takes part of the magic away. Instead, what unites us is our passion for sound, dancing with friends and growing together.

[Premiere] Dreamlogicc - Just Get At It (VA A Day of Music out on 25th December via music_is)

Somewhere, somehow bio-mechanical roaches are running 24/7. The place is called Nanoverse, and runners are united into Roach Racing Club. The cult of running was initiated by Shadow Syndicate, Inc. This mysterious organization also carefully collects artifacts from this crazy universe and brings them to planet Earth. One of the first items is a recording of a so-called “Run or Die” Mixtape. It’s an excerpt from the racing tracks, mixed by @pixelord. They say roaches are huge fans of music made by humans if it’s fast enough! 

You can grab one of 20 mixtapes secured on-chain by Shadow Syndicate, Inc. >>> https://opensea.io/ShadowSyndicateInc

Premiering "Spiral Mind (Gaunt Remix)" by Monotronique taken from "Incoming Signal" out now digitally and on 12`` vinyl via Branch Points
Buy: https://branchpoints.bandcamp.com/album/incoming-signal-pugilist-gaunt-remixes

Monotoronique (Banoffee Pies, Opal Tapes) supplies a statement of intent for the next mutation of Branch Points.

Hailing from the Ukraine, Montronique dispatches two sparse, clinical and brutal cuts that embody the spirit of the record.

'Incoming Signal' is flipped by the prolific Pugilist (3024, Whities, Modern Hypnosis) who brings his signature rolling percussion and sound signifers from the Hardcore Continuum.

Gaunt (Not So Much, Mistry) delivers an other worldly remix of 'Spiral Mind' in only the way Gaunt can to close out BP002.
