Previews for my album "Dark Shape" on Axis records, September 10th.

www.axisrecords.com/product/decoder-dark-shape/

In the year 2147, governments had been overthrown on an intergalactic scale, and Earth had been conquered by a mysterious alien force that had appeared in a large cube-like ship that people had begun to refer to as "The Shape". Nothing went in or out of the ship, although it had been broadcasting messages electronically in order to not only communicate, but also digitally take control of the human race.

Decoder:  Gautham Garg, better known as Decoder, is a 17 year old producer from Dallas, Texas. Inspired by the sounds of space and the deep unknown, he tries to transmit his vision of techno through sci fi and minimalist soundscapes. Some of his greatest inspirations include Jeff Mills, Terrence Dixon, Evod, Aleksi Perala, Franz Jager, and Damon Wild.

The award for youngest and most talented producer in the scene is going to Decoder. Therefore we're stoked to release his music on Float. With a 5-track EP called "Moro Safa" Decoder shows his approach on the sci-fi spectrum of techno that blends perfectly with the legacy of the label. Welcome to the future.

Previews for my album "Plurality Module" on Subsist records, May 6th.

https://subsist.bandcamp.com/album/subsist-158d-plurality-module

The Plurality Module confers upon the human race the novel capacity for interstellar travel, a passage through spacetime into dimensions currently unknown. A machine driven by radioactive technology, confined within a tectonic cage deep beneath the surface of the earth, presents us with new, bizarre, and perhaps even terrifying possibilities.

Science Cult continues the Singularity series featuring prolific young artist Gautham Garg aka Decoder. Decoder is no stranger to producing precise and banging techno tracks that deliver, which is on full display with this 4 track EP.

The series, inspired by conversation with Decoder, revolves around a story written by label co-founder Syrte. US based illustrator Renton Hawkey has once again provided a beautifully illustrated comic book style artwork for both the cover and labels. This is again the culmination of months of work writing and storyboarding, revising and character building.

(Previews) Decoder - Existentialist Mentality [Analog Solutions]

HAYES K Series returns to explore the duality of the catalog in two parts: first, a raw exercise in staccato-driven brutalism and stochastic tones, followed by a deep dive into subaquatic themes, sparse melodies, and dubby melancholia. Taken together, they traverse both poles of the emotional spectrum - a narrative that moves from volatile turbulence to spacious, uncanny depth and moodiness.

Title: AMTK+003 - Kameliia x Decoder
Label: AMTK+
Release: 01 Sep 2023 Vinyl / 29 Sep 2023 Digi
Cat No: AMTKPLUS003

A1 - Kameliia - Beyond
A2 - Kameliia - 8-12
B1 - Decoder - Kalpavriksha
B2 - Decoder - Swayambhu
B3 - Decoder - Velinattu

"Amotik recruits Norway's Kameliia and Dallas-based Decoder for the third split EP on his increasingly essential AMTK+ label.

Kameliia's hypnotic and atmospheric music has appeared on the likes of Overbalance and Unterwegs, where she has previously flexed her sophisticated take on sound design and heady soundscapes with driving and physical grooves. Decoder recently started his new Toca label with Jay York and has previously appeared on labels like Subsist, Float and Jeff Mills' legendary Axis.

Kameliia kicks off with the heavy and thumping 'Beyond', combining forceful drums and a slow, mystical synth lead that encourages you to follow it deep into the night. '8-12' is another perfect fusion of the head and body with supple percussion smeared with balmy and cosmic chords for a classy and immersive cut.

Decoder opens the B-side with 'Kalpavriksha', a twitchy and paranoid cut laced with bleeps and pulses, crafting a futuristic soundscape that grows ever more intense. 'Swayambhu' brings experimental shades with its tightly interlaced drums and synths beneath an unsettling synth line that whistles like a storm. Closing the release is the excellent 'Velinattu,' a buoyant track that’s warm and full of delicate percussive layers."

Label heads Decoder and Jay York return to Toca with their second release, a split EP titled "Distance". This new collection of tracks aims to resonate with home listeners and DJs alike, offering a profound journey that balances introspective depth with dancefloor functionality. 

“Distance” emerges from the spaces between – the physical and creative distances that have shaped the music crafted by the duo for this release. Despite the miles apart due to their intense touring schedules, they have harnessed their separation as a source of inspiration, resulting in an EP that reflects the nature of their circumstances. While each track has its own unique theme, the tracks share a common motif with minimalistic yet emotive layers of sound that invites listeners to delve into more deeper and introspective ideas. Each piece within the EP exemplifies the artists’ ability to create a sonic bridge that serves as an auditory journal of their experiences.

Tracklist:
A1. Jay York - Peligro
A2. Jay York - En Medio

Decoder & Jay York - Distance [TC02]

Label: Blank Code

Artist: Decoder
Title: Distant Beings
Release Date: Tuesday 28 January 2025
Format: Vinyl & Digital
CAT#: BCR014

01. Missing Sector
02. Strange Interaction
03. Farther
04. Elevation

Blank Code is a Detroit, USA techno outfit that have released music by artists like Bas Mooy, Mike Parker, Brian Sanhaji, DJ Hyperactive, Drumcell, and many more.

The newest Blank Code recruit is Decoder with his 'Distant Beings' EP, a fellow American from Dallas who has gained many devoted supporters from having releases on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, Amotik Records, TWR72's Float, Edit Select Records, Molecular Recordings, and Science Cult, amongst others.

Beginning with "Missing Sector," a dystopian and airy soundscape of captivating rattlesnake hisses and muted tones of melody and suspense amidst a stuttering kick pattern.

"Strange Interaction" follows with an abstract approach overall, but using a solid, rhythmic beat as a pulsing constant. Static crackles create mesmerising textures and light tom drums are met with wandering waves of analogue whispers and skipping hats.

"Farther" introduces deep and looping modular frequencies that dance around in a sci-fi aesthetic. This sublimely hypnotic track has an ethereal quality of patience and draws influence from dubby and atmospheric styling.

Finishing with "Elevation," it instantly has an experimental vibe that seems mysterious and menacing. Cyclical mid tones create a sonic suction before phasing pulses add even more tension to this esoteric adventure.

Dallas based producer Decoder (@iamdecoder) lands on Delsin with four versatile techno interpretations. From deep and immersive techno hypnotica to emotive electro bliss. It’s a well rounded EP with some type of elegance from a young producer who seems to have been doing this for decades. Decoder’s sound palette is warm and forceful, very direct yet still sensitive.

Buy @ Delsin Shop

Decoder - Anutva (DSR-C24)

Decoder is an emergent Dallas producer whose 1st appearances arrived in 2021 with a trio of albums, including Dark Shape on Mills’ mighty Axis, followed by further full lengths & numerous EPs on respected imprints such as Holland’s Float, Detroit’s Blank Code, and untouchable techno tastemakers Delsin, plus his own Toca, co-run with NYC-based Jay York, whose similarly hyperactive productivity defines their alliance. Already known across the US thanks to Hawtin’s From Our Minds tour, his worldwide notice is sure to increase with each high-profile release. From Another Star harnesses the stargazing end of his already-alien sound sphere on Vinveli, five tracks of midtempo trips saturated in extraterrestrial atmosphere.  
Cycling bleeps in ‘Gasui’ serve to enforce stasis over motion as he elegantly assembles a dynamic orbital system, with gaseous, evaporating clouds brushed aside to reveal its insistently chugging inner works. Dense, dark, and unstable, ‘Drona’ voyages through the center of a freshly-exploded supernova nebula still expanding rapidly, with deadly detritus flashing past the viewscreens. A rippling, zapping lead carves its way through the center of ‘447’, continuously assuming unfamiliar shapes while rotating elements surrounding it create organic, evolving forms. ‘Standing’ displays the pulsating, eroded tones and sparse percussion touch that defines his style, its midrange a bath of reverb wash while subtle, changeable elements intertwine. Forward movement is almost an afterthought: this is music of drift, a broken warp drive stranded in deep space while anxiety builds throughout the crew. ‘Service’ ends on a more strident tone, an eight-minute epic whose rising momentum blasts its astronauts firmly past our solar system into unsettling isolation.
