Sacred geometry, complex polyrhythms and clean sound design all collide in the work of Manchester outfit, Akkord.

With their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album charting high in XLR8R’s end of year list and receiving 9/10 and 4/5 in XLR8R and RA respectively, Akkord are not resting on their success, and are already planning their next assault with this new body of work.

HTH020 consists of four tracks of much darker, moodier sounds, pairing monumental low-end frequencies with surgically precise production. The whole EP is centred around clammy, ominous atmospheres, underpinned by stomping beats and descending basslines, placing greater emphasis on the space in-between, and textured over with a doomsday ambience.

The music that Akkord create never strays out of their own minimalistic and direct approach to techno, but from there, and beyond, they touch on an ever-evolving variety of styles, which gradually drive us in front of an overwhelming and riveting soundscape.

Epic (Remastered) - 01_12_2024, 23.47

Forseen years ago by the inclusion of a secret extra pocket in the Far West packaging; Master Musicians have created and brought fourth a painstakingly crafted complimentary LP for synced playback with their 2013 release Far West. With 2 turntables or other playback devices you can playback a fully unique quad experience. Further West shows off deeper journeys into the cave where we can dissolve ourselves.

Further West also stands alone as an inverted yugified universe from the Far West cannon. Liquid synth journeys into the void. We invite you to enjoy it either way.

History changed on 4 October 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball (58 cm across), weighed only 83.6 kg and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the US-USSR space race.

This audio file is a recording of the telemetry signals transmitted by Sputnik from orbit - the first artificial signals ever delivered from space. Text credit: NASA (https://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/)

Dimka Batarin, ex-multi-instrumentalist of an indie-pop band Super Collection Orchestra from Ivan Dorn's label, traded the frivolous joys of life for a harsh underground beat, and we cannot but welcome him. For us, Batarin, now a DJ, Mosaique resident and techno producer, has recorded a very mature and atmospheric mix - not so much gloomy as thoughtful. As the author puts it, it reminds of "a dark labyrinth of self-beating, from which it is difficult to find a way out, and everyone has such moments in life". Indeed, we say, and immediately recall the "rule of one hand" and Luka-Trémaux's algorithm. Let's go for light in moderato, 93 bpm!
