INDEx Live #11 - yibai – Rianás [EXILES]

Taking influence from the 90s IDM scene that revolved around labels such as Warp, Rephlex and Planet Mu, Cardiff producer Pope John Paul Van Damme creates a visceral collage of techno, breakcore and acid - a sonic menagerie that could make even the most hardened raver feel like they're tripping on their own synapses.

His music has been praised for its abstract and experimental nature, yet, in the midst of the chaos, there's beauty to be found. Listening to his latest album, ‘How Am I Not Myself?’, released on 12” vinyl via Last Riot Records, is like peering into a kaleidoscope on LSD. His beats lurch and stutter, while melodies swirl like dervishes in a sandstorm. With tracks like ‘Say No to Yes’ and ‘An Overture to Illumination’, the Welsh wizard crafts a sound that is simultaneously hypnotic and unsettling, like a rave in a haunted cathedral.

For fans of the music that we promote Roel Funcken probably needs little introduction. A legend in his own right with releases dating back more than 23 years on labels such as n5MD, Ad Noiseam, Schematic, Analogical Force and his own imprints. Roel was also the organiser of the Mindcamp events in The Netherlands that featured the best IDM artists and is one of our biggest heroes and a true inspiration. Did you know Roel also makes beautiful paintings? The artwork for this mix is one example, but we urge you to check out his other works. 

The mix is an amazing collection of his own music and other artists that we're fans of, so we are more than happy with this contribution. Enjoy!

INDEx Mix #40 - Hesh

Taru is an Italian musician whos research weaves electronic experiments influenced by techno, jazz and classical baroque. He has released several albums, including Post Analogic Tales with Nous Disques and Spazio Primitivo with Secuencias Temporales. 

Minimalist variations and obsessive repetitions are essential parts of his practice and compositional signature, and some pieces move between the blurred lines of future-oriented electronics. Playing with timbral spatiality, his intention is to create a continuous musical flow, in search of (self-)knowledge and an attempt to deconstruct the concept of time. The result is like a merry-go-round that rises and falls in our perception of things. 

The idea behind this set is to narrate a fantasy universe set in the near future where hybridization between machines and humans has taken place and where biological and mechanical boundaries have merged.

A synth was used that allows modulations on three different oscillators in subtractive synthesis, playing on different parameters and tonalities. The tension of the repetitiveness is provided by the use of an arpeggiator connected to the synth, which increases the sense of temporal vertigo. A reverb was also connected to the synth, also modulated, to restore some atmospheric aspects to the rigid timbre of oscillators.

Defrag is extreme sound design and audio rhythmic experimentation of Jeff Dodson, a composer and sound designer living in Los Angeles CA.

Defrag's influences like IDM, dubstep and experimental abstract glitch, filter into his music. With his classical background giving it a more cinematic progression. Orchestrated strings, piano, classic analogue synths and software processing add up to a fusion of analogue warmth, modern classical and raw digital abstraction.

That he chooses instead to make his attention to detail the vehicle for his songs rather than their focus is not only admirable, it’s a definitive comment on his priorities and where they lie. Defrag makes complicated music, but you can completely forget that in the moment and just experience it.

Liveset with tracks from the Metamorphosis album on LXVIII.

As a product of Amsterdams artistic avant-garde, Douglas Calii found comfort in expression trough a carefully hand-picked blend of styles and genres. Unbound by contemporary cultural norms and expectations, Calii adopts an eclectic view on the human experience, using art and sonic storytelling as a means to communicate a range of complex emotions and reflections on the nature and absurdity of existence.

Metamorphosis is a project which portrays a story of personal crisis, fear of authenticity, addiction, the acceptance of the human condition, and the beginning of a new phase in life. The project follows stages of mental decline due to a moral conflict with the self and serves as a description of the early-adulthood crisis. The work contains seven pieces, each of which in chronological order of events paint a picture of the death- and rebirth of a new perception of reality.

Tracklist:
1. Catching Up
2. Ever Dull
3. Marching On
4. Fake Bliss
5. Living Sleeping
6. Giving In
7. Metamorphosis

We proudly present this live-recording of Nikos; that serves as a journey through the more chilled out vibes of his electronic music pallet. 

Using playful and hypnotic sounds, Nikos likes to create and play music that encourages movement and a listening experience. In his live sets he moves between fast rhythms and slower beats, bringing soft and hard sounds together. He has also encapsulated his versatile sound in his first EP ‘Metaturnal’ released on Flippen Disks.

As a producer and visual designer he is interested in how both disciplines can complement each other such as in his audiovisual project UMBRA. Nikos likes to organize listening events in a relaxed setting, which he does throughout The Netherlands, under the name of Pelagic Ambient.

Series and in clubs like NAO, Dub Club, Specka, Graffiti, Shagü Club, etc. Has also published podcasts for different record labels and web platforms (Sin Hilo, Gladio Operations, Zanderhythm, Archaic, etc.).

VAAG is the artist name of producer Marc Brinkerink (NL) and translates from Dutch to English as 'unclear, vague, no frames, no boundaries....no direction'. His latest release 'Perfect Imperfection' on the label @pointsourcearts has been discribed by @igloomag as "Skittering, tumbling beats slip and slide past each other, narrowly avoiding collision in an erratic but choreographed dance. Strange, warbling melodies and crackling electrical discharges fill the air with a palpable energy. Somehow all these broken pieces fit together with an odd sort of cohesion. It’s wrong in all the right ways, perfectly imperfect."

Sardinian born Aritmia Sonora is now based in Amsterdam, exploring the intersections of experimental electronic music and bass culture.

INDEx Mix #45 - Aritmia Sonora

This mix is a reflection of my 10+ year journey through the (bass) music scene as a listener and later as a DJ, Event Curator and Label Manager of "Eyesome". The selection starts off rather gentle around the 120-140 bpm mark with dub(step) and 4x4 UKG material before dipping into drum 'n bass. Both styles were highly influential to my taste in music from early on and up until this day continue to shape it. I feel lucky and privileged to be able to work with so many talented musicians on a regular basis. Hope you like the mix which I recorded - S/O Palanga Street Radio for allowing me use their studio.
