oko is laced’s sophomore EP under her new moniker, which takes a new path compared to her previous noise explorations. Drawing inspiration from ambient music, dreampop, video game and anime soundtracks, breakbeat and IDM, the music conveys a dream world where the artist tends to escape in. The EP was produced over the course of 2021 since laced’s 2020 MUTEK performance in Montreal, taking a melodic approach in contrast to her more percussive productions. oko is best consumed under a pile of warm blankets or under the rain, its energy being one of catharsis, contemplation, healing and dreaming.

PREMIERE: LeTo - Meander (Syrinx Music)

✱ SWINE PREMIERE ✱ DJ QGB via @all-centre-504822953

∎ One of our favorite UK labels, All Centre, is releasing their first project by DJ QGB as ACEN057. After releasing two exceptional LPs in 2018 and 2022, he steps out from his own label @presenttenserecords for the first time to explore a club-ready approach to his singularly intricate sound. 

Across the four tracks, he strips his work down to basics and chases “expensive sounds”.

[Swine Premiere] DJ QGB - Animus Type Beat (All Centre)

As we mark the milestone of POLAAR's 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to introduce a brand new compilation that defines our sonic territories and encapsulates the essence of our exploration in sound.
Driven by the desire of independance and passion for bass-driven rhythms and experimental sounds, Flore and his mate Marc decided to start POLAAR 10 years ago, with the ambition of shaping their unique Bass music sound, far from the code initiated by the UK club scene. Since then, we've been at the forefront of a musical revolution, championing diverse artists from all over the globe and pushing the limits of genre conventions.
Territoire / definition : Expanse of land, more or less clearly delimited, which generally presents a certain unity, a particular character.
Territoires Vol3 is a compilation in which we ask to our artists to remix a tune taken from our back catalog. It is a way to pay homage to this still relevant past releases and create a bridge between our past and present. A way to showcase the depth and diversity of our own vision, without rut of styles or BPM.

Mastering: Cedric Ifa

4 Only Now X Flore Morphers (Prettybwoy Remix)

One year after the release of René Danger's Gwerz Boy, we are back with two remixes of the cathartic Gwerz that concluded the album : Enez Eusa.
Inspired by the chiptune arpeggios of René's arrangement, half-Brazilian half-Brezhoneg producer Le Frit envisioned it underlined by a Dembow beat, and came up with two very different variations of this same idea.
The LSDJ Turbo Megamix is a chaotic Yoshi-led remix alternating between reggeaton rhythms and fast-paced bass beats, ready to hit the dancefloors !

Liliane Chlela - Anatomy Of A Jerk
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM112
Format: Digital
Release Date: July 5th, 2024
Artwork by Richard Kahwagi
Mastered by Fausto Mercier

Tracklist:

1. Bison
2. bza2
3. Friendly Fire
4. Ouverture
5. Rave Melancho
6. Third Fraud
7. Did I Stutter
8. The Right To Offend Itself

Liliane Chlela’s ‘Anatomy of A Jerk’ reflects on sonic storytelling, experimenting with the compositional frameworks under which it operates. The Beirut-born producer, dj and performer stands at the forefront of the independent electronic music scene in Lebanon, with a reputation for shattering expectations with her live auditory soundscapes, exploring improvisation and the manipulation of sounds from wide-ranging musical genres. Her fifth record (and first on Infinite Machine) steers further into such territory, warping manic synth patterns into percussive motifs, cutting abruptly in and out of poignant melodic interludes. Chlela’s sonic narratives begin, repeat, break apart, disappear and fold into themselves, encouraging contemplation of the compositional elements–the anatomies–that constitute them.

Each track is a meticulous excursion–a melange of varied constituents carefully and uncannily arranged, sometimes coalescing, often deliberately breaking away from the song’s anticipated structure to bring forth unexpected moments of beauty. The first arrangement, ‘Bison’, is exemplary of this, where high intensity metallic stomps, clangs and stabs form a rhythm that is frequently interrupted and broken apart, sometimes by evasive melodies that tease the listener before fading.

‘Bza2’ and ‘Friendly Fire’ move further into the discomfort of unanticipated moments and interruptions. In each, haunting strings and synth-pad melodies start and stop, floating and pausing over jitters and stutters of mechanical percussion. Other tracks move further into the atmospheric, creating dramatic, theatrical soundscapes. ‘Third Fraud’ leans into this approach, where string progressions and cinematic drums tell a story that is less affronting.

Like previous works of Chlela, these eight compositions reach into a difficult space that is only rewarded with careful attention, patience and openness. The arrangements are invigorated by the distinct nature of the compositional fragments; seemingly divergent patches, sounds and rhythms are paired across an eccentric timeline, providing ample opportunities for listeners to relish in the sudden jerk of the unforeseen.
