PROSPEKT PODKAST #057 | SWARM INTELLIGENCE [47] 

We are very happy to welcome one of our favourite Producers, Live Act, DJs and Influences onto the podcast series with 80 minutes of tense atmospherics, uncompromising levels of distortion and stark, astute beats constitute a distinctive sound that Simon Hayes has been honing for more than a decade under his Swarm Intelligence guise.

Visceral, densely textured, and intricately programmed, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive sound comes from almost a decade of releases, spanning multiple genres and tempos. His non-conformist approach to music has earned him a solid reputation worldwide.

Born in Dublin, Simon Hayes found a home in the city’s thriving bass and techno scene in the early 2000s. He became a regular attendee at nights run by the likes of Kaboogie and Electric City, and later went on to DJ and host events.

A student of computer and electronic engineering, he later focussed his studies on artificial intelligence and began to apply learned concepts to music. He graduated in 2009 and moved to Berlin shortly thereafter, where he founded his Swarm Intelligence project. Initially intended as an antidote to the city’s then monotone four-to-the-floor offerings, his sound was raw, high tempo and distortion-laden, and better suited to illegal raves and squat parties.

It was this abrasive tone that led him to the doors of the seminal Ad Noiseam label, with whom he went on to release two rhythmic noise albums: “Faction” (2014) and “Rust” (2015). He also began touring extensively, including an AV performance at the infamous Maschinenfest. His hefty live sets later drew the attention of the Boiler Room crew, who invited him to perform at a Berlin edition of their show at the end of 2015.

Drawn to the emerging bleak and brutalist techno sound at the time, Hayes returned to his roots. His debut EP “The Lighthouse” (2016) on the then up-and-coming label Voitax was widely supported on floors across the continent. This was followed by releases on Instruments of Discipline (“Home Recordings”, 2017) and Earwiggle (“Flatlands”, 2017).

Propelled by this momentum, he went on to release his widely-acclaimed fourth album. “Against the Dying Light” (2018), released on Voitax, was written as a reaction to the shift in global politics towards fear and oppression. "If Industrial Techno is a sewer – flowing under the infrastructure of club culture, always there, hardly changing – then this is a horrific eruption from those subterranean depths, impossible to ignore or forget once exposed to it" – The Wire. Swarm Intelligence debuted this album during a memorable live set on Berghain’s Säule floor, and proceeded to tour across Europe.

2019 saw Hayes return to his rave beginnings with a drum-machine focussed EP on New York Trax Imports, as well as a cutting-edge technoid release on the renowned 47 label. His “Ultraware” EP (2020) on Voitax utilized experimental DSP and modular synthesis to reimagine classic rave foundations for dancefloors of the future.

Up next, Hayes returns to 47 – "47026 sees straight-up slammers and bass-heavy broken grinders collide, tied together with the high-grade sound design we've come to expect from Swarm Intelligence."

New Brvtalism No. 321 - BLACK GIRL / WHITE GIRL

Melanias musical journey began back in 2014, when the young polish artist timidly tested out the waters of her local scene, slowly but surely finding not only her passion for DJing, but also her very own sound. Characterized by a mix of energetic techno, breakbeat, drum n bass and experimental, her eclectic sets tend to be on the heavier side of the sound spectrum, yet Melania is known for effortlesly crossing into other genres as well, routinely surprising her listeners with a sudden change of atmosphere. Above all else, Melania is focused on her own productions, which have been released on labels such as Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Instruments of Discipline, Subsist Records and others and reflect her own dark musical visison. Now Melania plays gigs around the globe, next to hosting her own parties series VERZERRUNG in Poznan, Poland. This set is a testament to Melanias ingenuity, taking you down unexpected musical paths with unknown destinations.

We begin Issue 02 with French label and live duo Minimum Syndicat, who recorded a rare DJ set. Ray caught up with them for a chat earlier this week...


Hey guys thank you for the mix! Being predominantly a live act, does that reflect on how you put a mix like this together?

MS : I think we approached it in the same way, we try to build our live performances : with a narrative, story-telling and quality. It means different styles and moods, more introspective parts vs full-on sonic onslaughts etc. Also we don't fear to lower the intensity level for a while if it serves the story. Which would be riskier in a gig context...

>Is there a contrast in the sounds and atmosphere you aim to create when playing a club gig compared to the larger events like Soenda and Awakenings?

MS : Not really, i think our sound can work in both contexts. Of course we have tracks that have that big arena feel, but we learnt that even small basements can be turned into a rave cathedral with the right sound system, music and people... or maybe your own home during quarantine ?

>We are loving your recent Underground Activities EP, can you give us hint about any other forthcoming releases on your label and any other new minimum syndicat releases or remixes we should look out for? 

MS : Glad you like it ! Actually we were finishing our first full lenght album before this covid-19 shit hit Europe. Now we'll have to wait for better times to give it the proper release it deserves. We have also some remixes and tracks to come on different labels. Schedules are totally messed up now, so we'll see how it comes.

Sounds From NoWhere welcomes aboard the Berlin-based dj & producer BLUSH_RESPONSE (Megastructure / Sonic Groove).

Blush Response is Joey Blush, a Cuban-American artist and sound designer hailing from NYC who now resides in Berlin.
The intention behind Blush Response is to always push the limits of sound, structure, and perception, creating a modern version of what he perceives industrial music to be: brutal, inventive, uncompromising and always innovative.

His music is characterized by a heavy approach to sound design, combining rough, glitch-heavy beats with thick, distorted synths.
Noise-driven techno, industrial and traces of EBM characterise his sound but even through this wall of distorted synths and glitchy beats, he still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat and like his bio states: somehow magically make your feet tap along or, at considerable volume, rave. 

Let his music do the talking.

01. A Typo I Feed Iris Noll - Inquisitor From Beyond The Framework [Schematic Music Company]
