IM096 - @aroent - Say
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: May 27th,2022
Format: Digital
Artwork by Vojd

Following on from a release-packed 2021, Infinite Machine are back with a new 4-track offering from the relative newcomer, Aroent. Across 3 new original cuts (plus a rework by UK dance royalty, Ploy) the Berlin-based producer delivers some serious rollers crammed full of gnarly drumwork and a pervasive air of unease. Like the strange, abstract creature of the record artwork, the music of Say EP is an amorphous beast, mixing the dense arrangements/layering of 90s IDM records with the off-kilter and swung beats of UK Techno and Funky.

The EP opens with its title track; a whirl of snaps, claps and phantom samples all firmly underpinned by an acid-inflected bassline. Aroent embracing of chance and luck in his compositions is evident on this track, throwing in idiosyncratic automations and randomizers to grow and evolve the tune over its 5 minute duration. The vox samples (stolen from Breaking Bad) seem to decay and fall inwards on each other on ‘Say’, as if the song is soundtrack to a decaying and corrupted society (not dissimilar to Heisenberg’s).

On ‘Rolling Oddities’, Aroent’s love for the Bristol bass & techno scene really shines through clearly. A track that seems almost built for a spinny night that rolls on until the morning, the song really does what it says on the tin with its combination of driving, rhythmic elements and it’s smattering of pretty out-there decisions in terms of arrangement and sound processing. This is a definite must-listen tune for fans of Batu, Lurka or Hodge.

Next up, ‘Bobcat’ takes things in a slightly more buoyant and ecstatic direction with its ever-rising filters and muted percussion that seems like it’s dancing along on tip-toes. On this song especially, Aroent’s genre-agnostic approach to production is abundantly obvious with elements of techno and bass sitting alongside kick drums that wouldn’t feel out of place on some Jersey Club tracks.

Ploy brings up the rear on Say EP with a ferocious ‘Skeletal Tool remix’ of the releases’ title track. Taking a reductionist approach to his rework, the Timedance signee strips out some of the originals’ more hyperbolic or dramatic elements and reduces it to a polyrhythmic, semi-genreless heater. Seriously - you try and pin this edit down to a single ‘genre label’, I dare you!

Despite the small number of releases to his name, Say EP is a highly confident and well-realized offering from the Greek-born, Berlin-based producer. In a way, Aroent is already creating his own sonic signature that lifts and interpolates aspects across the UK Bass spectrum and turns it into something totally unique. This is music that lurks in the shadows of warehouse clubs.

Tracklist:

1. Say
2. Rolling Oddities
3. Bobcat
4. Say (Ploy's Skeletal Tool Remix)

Pressure is the third EP from Parisian DJ and producer BJF (@djbjf). It follows Iridescent and Uprooted, released in 2020 and 2022. A key member of the collective, label, and media Couvre x Chefs, BJF has released original tracks on several record labels (Lowup, Egregore, XXIII, Sacrilejio Records, Météo ) and a bunch of thoughtful edits. His productions have been played on Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM, Rinse France, Hör, BBC, Reprezent, etc.

Just months after the acclaimed Uprooted, BJF is back on the label arm of Couvre x Chefs with an explosive three-track EP ready to sweat clubs and shake festivals. Entitled Pressure, this one reinforces the style of BJF which he refines release after release: resolutely club percussive titles, punctuated with characteristic ad-libs, increasingly (re)worked vocals, and sharp melodies. On the percussion side, the producer from Greater Paris finely selects cuts with precision and reassembles to the millimeter the most boiling rhythms from the four corners of the planet. The result is by nature unclassifiable - post club, hybrid club, or global club - but promises to make everyone agree on the dancefloors of Melbourne to Saõ Paulo via Paris or Berlin.

2 Fast

Jahla - Too Fast - (PA MELE RIDDIM)

When Void+1 intercepted intel of Znzl, an entity with green hair whose appearance has been linked to mysterious earthquakes, it immediately dispatched for "recruitment". After losing 2 ground units during the operation, V+1 resolved to diplomacy and managed to negotiate a deal code-named "Ancestraldatabreach", that contents of will not be disclosed to the public, other than 4 tracks that emerged as a consequence of the process.
"Significant Bound" is the result of Znzl's experimentation with new production techniques. A breakbeat/techno hybrid that might have a mind of its own, seemingly capable of some form of speech in particular segments of the track.
"Obfuscate" is a minimalist tool-track that hides it's underbelly of bass between razor sharp kicks while occasionally glittering in the darkness.
As if Znzl alone wasn't overpowered enough, he calls upon Radical Softness for assistance on vocals in "Alignment" and together they successfully convey the script of a cyborg going to an energy healer for alignment of its chakras (foreshadowing alert.exe).
The contract concludes with "As The Fire Consumes Us", evoking images of silhouettes being projected on concrete walls as they dance around the bonfire.

We remember over a year ago the latest installment of Crysta Ampullaris, bringing together a host of guests from all corners of the country to offer us an eclectic opus, where stylistic boundaries were shattered to give prominence to sound design and a post-covid club vision unique to each individual. While it goes without saying that we thrive on sharing, we must also know how to refocus on the essentials, and it is through reflection on a common aesthetic that this new volume was born.

“Tribe.” A marginal musical style, long nestled in the free party culture, now seems to infuse into the most mental and fast-paced forms of electronic music. We wanted to take a look at our own roots, in the muddy grounds of our regional soundsystems, where everyone is invited to uncompromising sonic journeys. It is where nature, humans and technology come together in a joyful celebration of inner and outer life. The familiar faces from previous volumes are present: Nigm, Slowglide and Ayuji deliver three energetic and shamanic tracks, exploring fast grooves, hypnotic patterns and twisted landscapes. New faces also make their appearance, such as Numa, a founding member of the collective, presenting a generously psychedelic and textured debut track. Additionally, Perdu et Retrouvé from Venus Club introduces a superb dreamy and tribal collaboration with Shonen Bat.

As you can see, this new volume is an invitation to travel, to move and to connect ; as moving and being moved is our mantra.

Tracklist: 

1. Nigm - Rift Of Spirits
2. Slowglide - Ikeda Map
3. Ayuji - The Lost Lagoon
4. Numa - Mapinguari
5. Perdu et Retrouvé & Shonen Bat - TribeAdvisor

Parts Project - Tomb (BAIT2) [Jah-Tek Premiere]

I'm super thankful to everyone that's been supporting my latest "Acheron EP". As a thanks I've got a free download for you all! 
After playing the original for years I thought I'd cop the acapella of this one and give a flip a go. I've been playing it out the last 6 months with really solid dancefloor response, so I thought I'd finally give it away as a free download!  

Lot's of music coming down the pipeline, and big things coming with Cimmerian, thank you all for your continued support.

Prepare for a sonic mission like no other as we welcome Dublink to the label to unleash the Commander EP upon sound systems across the globe. This three-track project, carefully curated by the shadowy operatives of Å​bysmal Ẹntities, takes you on a journey through the enigmatic depths of future soldier spec ops missions and the military industrial complex, where sub-bass frequencies are the covert language of the clandestine.

The "Commander" project transcends the conventional boundaries of an EP; it stands as an audio dossier chronicling uncharted realms. Dublink's masterful proficiency in crafting intricate and weighty landscapes transcends into an immersive, weaponized encounter, propelling listeners into a realm where secrecy, strategy, and subsonic warfare converge.

Tracklist Reconnaissance:

1. "Sub.Data" - Your mission briefing begins with this spacious and hypnotic opener, a labyrinthine soundscape that sets the stage for the journey ahead.


2. "Interconnected" - Dive deeper into the shadows as the mission's narrative unfolds, leading you through a web of entrancing percussive elements and ominous atmospheres that demonstrates a very unique and mesmerizing flow.


3. "Commander" - The EP reaches its apex with this monstrous track, where Dublink's masterful sound design shines brightly, unleashing a barrage of heavy artillery ordinance.

Third single of Maloca, Vol.2 forthcoming on Dec 8th
maloca.bandcamp.com/album/maloca-vol-2

« Founded almost four years ago, Le Motel’s Maloca Records has excelled in world-building as it tirelessly brings together some of the best and most innovative artists from different pockets of the club community around the world. This is showcased most notably through the compilation series which returns for its second volume on the 8th December as it combines both established and breakthrough artists.

Across 17 tracks, Maloca, Vol. 2 features both label family and exciting debuts with the likes of Farsight, Griffit Vigo, and DJ JM returning to the imprint. The rest of the compilation sees knockout contributions from the likes of Bambounou, Flore, Konduku, Tristan Arp, NVST, De Grandi, Neida, Cheb Runner, Malo2k, Leese, Ultima Esuna & Destrata, Mika Oki, M I M I and Space Drum Meditation. Whilst these artists may be from different cities across the pond, they all have something in common - they are leading the way for the next wave of club music. Whether that’s the riotous sounds of NVST, Griffit Vigo’s ever- evolving landscape of gqom, Tristan Arp’s signature insect-inspired soundscape, the emerging Brussels-based artists M I M I and Mika Oki or the trippy, introspective melodies of Konduku and Space Drum Meditation. Maloca, Vol. 2, captures a mind-melting moment in time.

The artwork is by Brussels-based painter Anastasia Bay who’s work presents a renewed vision of the human figure. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Anastasia Bay’s work is all about contrast and balance. The choice of a precise fragment of reality in her works dissolves any narration. »
