Tracks

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

Braindance

Turbulent

Premiere: Poly Chain – Turbulent

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Poly Chain. "Afterhouse In SchneidersLaden" comes off the new v/a from Berlin's TYME collective. TYME is a newly found label that provides a space for emerging artists from Ukraine and the world to release music that transcends boundaries. For its debut release 'On the Silver Shore' , TYME invited 28 artists from different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Their creations span across the wide spectrum of electronic music, ranging from experimental and ambient to hypnotic and groovy techno. Notable contributors include iconic artists such as Schacke, Shackleton, Cressida, Nastya Vogan, Pavel Milyakov and Yan Cook. 

Today we premiere this one from Poly Chain. The artist had this to say about the track: "During the last two years I started to produce slow and tender music again and I am happy it found its place and purpose with TYME and its fundraiser. Finally my experimental side and technical production one started to crystallize in the form I would love to build as an artist."

On The Silver Shore is out March 1st. Support the release at: https://tyme-berlin.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-silver-shore

POLY CHAIN - BACKPAIN PRODUCTION

When Aljoscha's father placed cassettes of jungle, ambient and drum'n'bass in the hands of his seven-year-old son, he had no idea that he had just passed on to him the soundtrack of his life.

This heritage of multiple textures has been transformed into multiple aliases, including AJO, a character who transcends the boundaries of genres and time.

Signed to labels such as Electric Shapes and Mana Abundance, AJO invokes tribal elements and inter-astral electronic sounds. A primitive, almost animal quest dances between the German producer's synthesizers.

His new album, ‘God Is A Single Infinite Painting That Has No Frame’, adds to his psychedelic ambient and EBM-tinged electrooid explorations. Four remixes by YADÜ, La Serpiente, HyperLili and Théo Muller add an even more contemplative dimension to this opus, released on Ethos Records.

Thought I’d redo my set from the last Life Plug night. I opened up and had a lot of fun putting this one together. Went for a Cumbia inspired set which kinda spiralled off toward the end. For those that couldn’t make it.

Now The Biting Makes Sense

On Escape from the Club, @alecpace makes his return to All Centre, following up his Absolute Pressure EP from 2019 with four wonky, breakneck techno cuts.

Opener Linea kicks off proceedings with a buoyant approach to electro. Encouraging shouts of “come on” are filtered through disorienting FX, usher in sliding synth lines. As the track progresses, the frenzied synths increase in intensity before giving way to a skeletal drum beat.

On the second track Drowning, throbbing kick drums pair with skizzed-out hi-hats. The track’s wonky, rolling groove builds up towards a propelling synthetic percussion onslaught with unique sound design to boot.

The title track increases the intensity with skewed acidic pronouncements leading into a lolloping 168bpm beat, embellished with Pace’s characteristic vocal sample disfigurations.

Finally the EP settles on its most frenetic excursion, False Claims. Hiking the BPM up to 148, high velocity drums which nod to UK Funky guide the listener towards ecstatic fervor that is hinted at throughout the proceeding tracks.

Escape from the Club is available on all digital platforms from October 18th.

After ‘De Wandeling’ release from xceptor in September 2024, Rotterdam-based imprint Feed The Void return with a seven-track remix compilation – courtesy of UK-born producer Birds...Our pick from this release is Poly Chain's rendition of ‘Home’ that emerges as a mesmerizing workout through space-delayed, yet haunting atmospherics driven by pulsating techno kick drums and gritty acid basslines. Accompanied by infectious, simmering whistles, Zakrevska crafts a warehouse-ready concoction, steeped in a cybernetic cauldron and ignited in the eternal bonfire of the underworld.
