Forest Drive West - Signals

The fourth installment of Sonic Textures series is going to enlighten once more the most cuttin' edge artists in the electronics scene: 
Lair, artist, singer, compose and producer puts elements of ritual, mysticism, deep listening, meditation and energy work, 
expressed through the lens of textured and layered electronic music derived from vocal samples; 
Visceral, densely textured, and intricately programmed, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive sound comes from almost a decade of releases, spanning multiple genres and tempos; 
6SISS, half of Motive Power (47 Records) goes through progressive cinematronica to gritty industrial warehouse techno layered with some drama; 
Nemrac, Syncretism co-founder, shows his club-oriented approach in a visceral and incisive representation of darkness, skimming through Techno, Industrial, syncopated rhythms and noir atmospheres; 
Voicedrone, FOLD. founder in London, true analogue warrior and bastion of the European rave culture ensure a powerful closing of this release. 

"Sonic Textures" is the turbulent, dissonant voice speaking for eccentric artists with different influences and backgrounds. 
The fourth Various Artists Compilation presented by Syncretism gathers together several composition approaches, bringing a new paradigm of sonic textures and unexpected arrangements.

Tracklist:
1. Lair - Reform 
2. Swarm Intelligence - Offworld  
3. 6SISS - Morphagene
4. Nemrac - Neuromantik
5. Voicedrone - Exit

Omni-Free - Pharpheonix (TRIBAL TIME#02)

Edition of 300 vinyl:
https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/today-ep

Back by popular demand is DJ Crisps with his third solo contribution to the Time Is Now catalogue: the fierce 4-tracker which explores the many flavours of garage and justifies the Rotterdam producer’s ever-growing ubiquity in today’s UKG circuit.
 
Kicking off proceedings is ‘Keep It Up’ - a high-octane speed garage banger, prepped with intervals of slamming reverse sweeps which carry their own rhythm. After ‘Alright’’s unique blend of old skool grime samples and diva-esque vocals which play in dialogue beneath a sharp two-step beat, ‘Today’ strips things back a little with a modest bassline melody and ragga vocals. Finally, with pitched-up, syrup smooth vocal licks ‘Bounce’ captures UKG at its most soulful.
 
Today EP drops 8th April via Time Is Now.

Noted for his vast and psychedelic bass heavy productions, Brighton based producer Etch pulls out four killers for the ‘Sloppy Rhythm Trax’ EP on Hypercolour.

With a pedigree that has bestowed labels like Illian Tape, Sneaker Social Club, LMD SunkWorks and TempOzone with exceptional singles and albums, the man like Etch fires on all cylinders for his Hypercolour debut.

Impenetrable and heady vibes are served up on ‘Lazyville’, whilst ‘Gaia’s Mainframe’ give us some of that aforementioned psychedelic bass in spades!

‘Pluto’s Groove’ tears into jungle and d‘n’b territories, rinsing out the acid breaks vibes, whilst ‘Belladonna & The Poppies’ throws down more sub bass frequencies in a dusty and decidedly chugging EP finale.

By order of appearance in the preview:
Es.tereo — Perception
Es.tereo — Drifter Dub
Es.tereo — Perception (Forest Drive West Remix)

Artwork: Simon Fowler

"Drifter Dub & Perception draw from a deep inner feeling that connects the four elements — earth / water / air / fire.
Everything is connected and surrounded by these four elements in varying ratios and levels of interaction. With these tracks, I wanted to elicit a mood that gives the feeling of being in nature with all these elements, dancing around a fire in the forest, getting lost in the kind of hypnotic rhythm and percussion that can put you in an ecstatic higher frequency state. The Forest Drive West remix of "Perception“ captures that all and completes the release perfectly."

Drifter Dub & Perception

Es.tereo — Drifter Dub & Perception (feat. Forest Drive West)

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-forest-drive-west-falling-upright

@forest-drive-west combination of razor sharp shards of breaks, ever-present clanking ghost ship bell, and mid-century British horror vocal snippets sat well with the aberrant nature of the entire package. This is rave for the Scarfolk Council generation.
