Frontier Lab

First Report

Providing his debut for Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury, our fellow Amsterdammer and ECHOBOX radio DJ Oneven (a.k.a. Andrew Visser) offers up five pieces of electronic meatiness for our ravenous consumption. As a duel British/Dutch citizen, his electronic music heritage is strong and he draws on early IDM / Braindance methods to create a unique, trademark sound. With a huge passion for hardware, Oneven tries to keep the music as organic and honest as possible, mistakes and all.

Lead single (and synth master class) VM1S2RM springs out of the trap first, hurtling along at breakneck pace, peppered with curious bleeps, noises and percussion stabs, this IDM monster leaves little breathing room. Next up, M52t5, comes down a few gears and treats us to some laid back, electro tinged 808 beats and beautifully ethereal chords over the industrial, Kraftwerk-esque synth lines.

brrytmt takes us into another world completely, tugging at the heartstrings with its expressive, lofi chords, rolling over the top of some beautifully heavy, distorted beats. Tissue continues in that vein, more subdued machine sounds are juxtaposed to the frantic 707 rhythms and repeating vocal edit, conjuring up an eerily stunning scene.

Rounding off, we’re treated to more stirring, processed sounds with Dlaciebie. A sparse and precise piece of automaton music that invokes a certain sadness, proving once and for all that, machines do indeed have emotions...

Oneven - Tissue [ITI#19]

Glasgow, or shall we say, Clydebank’s Scott McKay aka Fear-E delivers his debut album on his imprint Posh End Music. On Clydeside Tales this innovative and unpretentious artist delivers a sumptuous selection of high grade production.

Clydeside Tales follows a number of releases on renowned imprints including Dark Entries, Super Rhythm Trax, Don’t Be Afraid, Hilltown Disco and Dixon Avenue Basement Jams.

Merging tried and tested dancefloor heat with more carefree groovers, delivered naturally after his many years spent down the front. His productions have seen support from Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Paul Woolford, Skream, Leftfield, and Andrew Weatherall over the years.

Perfectly timed for the reopening, this one’s for the clubs we’ve grown to miss.

PREMIERE: Fear-E - 80s Arcade Obsession (Posh End Music)

Shari Vari - T/Error Version

Bad luck seemed to follow them around wherever they went, they just couldn't catch a break. A dark shadow that loomed over their every move, they wondered whose joke they were the butt of, it was almost laughable the amount of things that seemed to not work out in their favour. They often pondered what they would need to do for this luck to change or perhaps the universe was simply against them... Their fate was in somebody else's hands.

Fides, the Berlin-based label run by Tresor Resident Z.I.P.P.O, have been moving in the worlds of electro, techno and IDM-inspired electronics since 2015. For their 15th release they welcome Amsterdam producer and DJ Mayo for a five-track EP that comes with two remixes from Mary Lake and Danny Daze. Like her previous releases for United Identities, Marguerite and brokntoys, on Frenemies she delves into EBM-leaning sounds, fusing electro, techno and industrial influences with her distinctive use of ghostly synth lines, distorted vocals and meticulous sound design.

PREMIERE: Mayo - Not Your Shadow [Fides]

J. Mono twists our sense of time again, coming up with the third installment of his ‘Redate’ series: an elegant selection of uncut tracks, roaming in the fields of electro, acid, IDM and EBM. Redate III in its digital format presents tracks that were written and recorded between 2014 and 2015. As the cassette version, it includes not only Redate III (as side A), but a collection of J. Mono’s various other tracks created between 2017 and 2021, that appeared beforehand on various compilation albums (as side B). In other words, with this fresh new tape you’re all set with 8 years of J. Mono experience.

Redate III has a collection of 12 tracks that were all born in the mid 2010s. They are quick and ambitious tracks with usually a fast pace, ready to action and not afraid of melodic or rhythmic complexities. These raw edits usually tell us a discourse of a few key musical elements, constantly intertwined with each other: winding basslines and beats, wandering pads and leads. Never longer than 3 or 4 minutes, they focus on precise and rapid variations of sonic ideas that are full of heart, akin to compositions we know as bagatelles, sonatinas or études from previous centuries.

The twelve tracks are spot on understandings of what intuitive, energetic yet sensitive electronics can mean in the 21st century. Sweet melodies, acidic vibes and dreamy echoes dominate the record while dirty, muddy and distorted sound waves are also eager to take over the course.

Redate III offers a range of impressions and moods, where each track captures one very specific emotional moment. Melancholic and passionate tunes, frantic rhythms and delicate harmonies at work: electrified gnossiennes, beat-driven gymnopédies in 40 minutes.

Paula took a trip. And as she was walking on clouds, beautiful clouds, hovering through kaleidoscopic forests and gliding through multicolored reefs, she couldn’t help but cry. In glee, in absolute enchantment. And when she had to leave, all that was left were Shades of Acid. And dry tears, tears of joy.

Vertical67 - Out Of Sight

Anna Vs June is the alias of Anna Papaioannou  - a contemporary music composer from Greece. She captures the perfect balance between electronic and traditional sounds, representing her western and eastern musical influences. Having travelled extensively in rural areas around Greece, she has gathered diverse singing practices from a wide range of areas stretching from the island of Crete to the North East edges of Epirus. 

In the third release of Yalançı presented by Anna Vs June, Anna comes into the picture to share her musical interpretation of growing up in a country that is constantly experiencing an identity crisis. Encompassing her research, all tracks on the record are based on traditional music from different parts of Greece, featuring the voices of Anna herself, in addition to guest performances by Stephanos Theodoropoulos from Nea Kios, Nikos Mais-Zogos from Lefkada and Alexis Voutouris with a violin performance. The continuous mix represents 5 songs pressed on heavy duty transparent vinyl and housed in a full printed sleeve with a photograph taken in the South of Azerbaijan by the label founder Ayaz.
