Realitycheck invite Glimmerman - 02 Mars 2022

🇫🇷
Pour cette seconde sortie de l’année, nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir le parisien Jumboclat, membre de l’équipe SeekSickSound et feu Exploration Music.

Auteur d’un premier EP solo sur l’écurie de Flore POLAAR et auteur du très remarqué ‘Tell Me’ sur Vernacular Records, il est également versé dans l’art du footwork comme en témoignent ses productions sorties sur Le French Work.

Ce ‘Cloverleaf EP’ concentre l’essence de ce qu’il fait de mieux : du 2-step profond et émotionnel de ‘B With U’ aux breakbeats acérés de ‘Timeslip’, la production est méticuleuse, tantôt sombre et tantôt empreinte de nostalgie, entre hommage aux musiques et sonorités caribéennes et sound design futuriste. Pour compléter l’EP, Stacktrace signe un remix dub mental et oppressant du morceau titre de la sortie.

For the second release of the year, we’re delighted to welcome Paris-based Jumboclat, member of SeekSickSound and Exploration Music (RIP).

Author of a first solo release on Flore’s POLAAR imprint and producing the acclaimed ‘Tell Me’ released on Vernacular Records, he is also well versed in footwork, as demonstrated by his tunes on Le French Work.

His ‘Cloverleaf EP’ is a concentrate of everything he does best : from the emotional an deep 2-step ‘B With U’ to the razor sharp breakbeats of ‘Timeslip’, the prouction is meticulous, deep and melancholic, an ode to the carribean sounds and cultures blended with futuristic sound design. To round off the EP, Stacktrace delivers a psychedelic and oppressive dub remix of the title track.

upsammy - Germs in a Population of Buildings
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 132
Release Date: 05 May 2023
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/GerminaPopulationofBuildings

On her sophomore album "Germ in a Population of Buildings”, upsammy moves through her surroundings with the curiosity of a place-bending landscape architect. The album is rooted in her interest for ambiguous environments in constant shift, and the feeling of discovering strange patterns in different ecosystems. Often, the Amsterdam-based artist finds herself zooming in and out beyond a place's most recognizable surface features to inhabit the microscopic and gigantic. Gathering field recordings and evocative environmental sounds, she shapes this source material into vibrating electro-acoustic rhythms and unstable, psychedelic textures.

upsammy's debut album, 2020's critically-acclaimed "Zoom", was praised for its careful reimagining of IDM, evolving vignettes that nodded towards the dancefloor without being shackled to its rigid set of rules. On "Germ in a Population of Buildings" her process has evolved considerably; the skeletal trace of IDM is still present but it's been trapped in amber, allowing her unique sonic landscape to develop organically. 'Being is a Stone' is a proof of concept in many ways, layering upsammy's contorted voice in rickety patterns beneath a lattice of fragile rhythms and faintly melancholy synths. It's never immediately obvious where the sounds are coming from - a hiccuping beat might be glass cracking underfoot, and larger pulses could be wet concrete, rusted iron or bent plastic. As the sounds develop they morph into each other, demolishing what came before and building on top of the ornamental wreckage.

On the dynamic 'Constructing', upsammy's sound design fluxes through hyperactive bass music structures, abstracting expectations at every turn. Often her sounds are whisper quiet, rattling and vibrating until heavier masonry drops and disrupts the structure. And when discernible rhythms subside into the background, like on the album's eerie title track, they become almost illusory, morphing between the real world and the electronic. upsammy's processed voice works like a bridge between these realms, snaking between stark, whimsical melodies on 'Patterning', arching from AutoTuned detachment into cooing, dreamy intimacy. By considering the harmonies between each location she's visited, upsammy has been able to build a unique topology that's an uncanny digital amalgam of her lived experience. It's a thoughtful alternative in an era more concerned with flatting the landscape than crumpling it and examining its peaks and troughs.

[EYX015] Diessa - 'Rough On It' EP (Preview Clips)

Pre-order: https://maloca.bandcamp.com/album/siiix-vol-1

Brussels-based label @malocarecords presents 'SIIIX, Vol.1', a compilation-turned-collaborative EP showcasing a dialogue between HIIIT (fka percussion ensemble Slagwerk Den Haag) and six producers - shimmering between footwork, IDM, UK bass and ambient.

The final result is six wildly different sonic outcomes, from the high-energy workouts of @upsammy’s ‘Embrytone’ to Julian Satorius’s warped rhythms in ‘Klutsel-Klötzli’.

A fancy press release text here. A big concept. The usual tags, buzzwords, adjectives. Post-facto meaning, retroactive motives. Tropes for easy consumption, categories for easy detection. Some big DJ played it out! It's forward-thinking - yet the usual.
Or, left turns, fuckups, new experiments, old loves.
Lyrics, words, good ideas, desires, tea, fears, memes, questions, wrong answers, bad ideas.
No interesting sound was ever made by playing it safe.
Have fun you coward :)
