R.i.O. welcomes Brainwave Research Center, a NYC-based duo consisting of house/techno producer Chase Smith and documentary filmmaker Christa Majoras. In early 2023 they freed their debut album “figure 1” via their own label BRC. Two more albums followed. All documenting their love for experimental yet charming music of all kinds.

Their influences span a vast spectrum, from Steve Reich, Laurie Spiegel, and Edgar Froese to Martin Rev, John Carpenter, early Kraftwerk, or the ambient techno of Pete Namlook’s Fax +49-69/45046 label. Yet, Brainwave Research Center forges a sound distinctly their own, seamlessly blending analog synthesis with electro-acoustic experimentation.

On “Psychic Antenna”, the duo takes a gentle rawer approach. The tracks range from the manic verbal Die-Tödliche-Doris-like loops of "I Find Myself" to the meditative cosmic trance of "Open Your Mouth." "Orange Drop" and "Transmitter Park" toy with the dancefloor, channeling slow-motion acid trance and krautrock echoes.

The release is rounded out by three remixes: R.i.O.’s own Benedikt Frey delivers a deep, trippy groover full of inner musicality, while close companion DALO crafts a dark, echo-drenched pop rework, and Berlin’s Nathan Dawidowicz injects psyched nu-disco rhythms, expanding “Psychic Antenna” into seven notions of intense neural oscillations.

WL//WH is very pleased to premiere the jazz-tinged, glitchy atmospheric downtempo track, "UUDDLR," from the forthcoming self-titled debut album by the British experimental electronic duo Sarno Ultra via Glasgow-based independent label  Bricolage (@bricolage-g5).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sarno Ultra” opens up a new musical chapter in the lives of Jon Worsley and Kayla Painter (@misskaylapainter). Known for both their own solo material and their collaborative work in Jilk (@jilk), these two underground stalwarts have come together for something entirely different on this new project.

Prepare for a sense altering trip that creates and traverses through a futuristic audio landscape and leaves no surface untouched.

Fractured vocals, intricate cascading rhythms, collapsing mechanical structures and pulsing textures carry the weight as we shift between moods and tempos with open eyes and ears.

There’s blasts of high energy percussion and glitch laden sound design that effortlessly mesh with the more melancholic sounds and brittle bliss that partners them. It’s an album that never sits still. Even in its quieter and warmer moments, “Sarno Ultra”, always keeps us guessing which exploratory path we’re headed down next.

“Sarno Ultra” is a debut album that drags you into a sonic whirlpool but embraces you while you’re there. Enjoy the experience.
