23.4  - Dub Techno TV Podcast Series #74

The phrase "concept album" brings to mind long and complicated works by 60s rock bands or rap magna opera destined to be pored over by Dissect podcast. But what if the concept is based on a simple conceit? With Refreshing Part 1, their third EP and first vinyl release on Tresor, Fireground soundtrack an imaginary night spent at the Kraftwerk building on K&ouml;penicker Stra&szlig;e, moving between the smoke-filled basement of Tresor and the bass-heavy loft of Globus.

Opening piece, Never Sleep, has long been a feature of the Fireground live set and evolved over many months before reaching its final form in something of a "eureka" moment during a performance in Tresor. The track kicks off the EP with a hint to techno classic Knights of the Jaguar before quickly carving its own path through the foliage.

The tribal leitmotif continues on second track, Gaze, which again has subtle nods to classics whilst showcasing the duo's ability to bring new life to 90s house and techno tropes. 

Obsession dispenses with any pretence and gets right down to business from the opening second: Inspired by the Tresor dancefloor "when it reaches its peak; the strobe lights together with the smoke become so intense that for a few moments you can't see anything and completely abandon yourself to [your] sense of hearing." 
A counterpoint to the finessed Never Sleep, Obsession was recorded live with minimal post-production this track finds Fireground at their rawest and most uncompromising.

As if needing a spot of fresh air after the ferocity of Obsession, the second half of the EP leaves the dense and smoky atmosphere behind and ascends towards the sky beginning with Driving Stars; lighter though this may be there's no loss of drive.

Penultimate track Into a Diamond finds Fireground floating ever-upwards propelled by elements of jazz including a gorgeous electric piano solo that recall the airy mid-90s UK house of labels like Nuphonic, Heavenly, Faze Action, and Soma. 

Digital-only track, Wedding, closes the EP with the perfect end-of-night feeling, leaving us joyful, as if we are stepping out into the morning sun surrounded by close friends, the sounds of the evening orbiting our minds.

PIPPA:
Blant det uendelige myldret av frekvens-tvistere og wav-spinnere, har Pippa gjort sitt inntog. I et ellers flatt og homogent landskap, har hun tydeliggjort seg som en markant skikkelse å bevitne.

Sounden tar avstand fra ekkokammerets evige kakofoniske gjenklang og retter heller fokuset på 20hz etterdønninger med lang levetid. Pippa spinner ikke for jåleri men heller mot en eklektisk finesse av kriblende tekstur, rullende perkusjon og synth artefakter som skaper rom for finurlige avbrekk.

Lørdag 19.10 slår hun sammen krefter med Schmooze & Brus på The Villa. Der hun og kompanjong TAKT skal kjøre fulltidshypnose i sweatshoppen. I mellomtiden kan du la Pippa dra deg med inn i hennes nådeløse og hypnotiske lydlandskap med hennes nyeste mix.

Schmooze & Brus presenterer Vrikkesessions:
For grooveapostler, discosersjanter og de vrikkeglade! Blant Schmooze & Brus sine gamle røvere inviterer vi DJ's fra groovens mange hjørner til å supplere topnotch tunes.

Separate States is a magnetic, otherworldly exploration of an artist caught in the crosswinds of two distinct worlds, each echoing a piece of the whole. The album flows with 5 tracks of trance infused groovers and 5 tracks on the tranquil hum of an endless coastline in dub techno—where heavy beats pulse in a consistent groove, and yet just beyond, an open horizon glimmers.

The journey begins in the arid, pulsing heart of Side A with El Desierto, a tribute to inmortal highlanders, vibrations in a mythical and retro uplifting experience. Life is Dance comes next with hypnotic rhythms and luring vocals, drawing the listener into a spaced out dub scape of underwater grooves. La Fiesta and Octatone carry this ethereal dream forward, each track a dance of textures, layers rising and falling like mirages under the fertile sun. The track Exi(s)t serves as both a culmination and a fracture—a razor’s edge between escape and return.

Flip to Side B, and the landscape softens, yet remains profoundly magnetic. Panorama Love unveils a vision of hazy sunlit reveries, leading into the lush, expansive sound of Serving XXL, where space and hypnotic sounds are intertwined, almost teasing the boundary between sound and silence. Telekon pulses but softly, carrying traces of neon reflections in its gentle, kaleidoscopic swells. Freedoom is open to interpretation but no doubt a hypnotic and ethereal track. The last song, Planta en Paz plants roots music in the sand, grounding the album’s restless spirit in something deep, timeless, and unexpectedly serene.

Separate States is a tale of dualities—of pulse and drift, ecstasy and release, of an artist split between worlds yet bound to both. A journey you can feel long after it ends, a tribute to ethereal electro music therefore a loving resonance that lingers in space.

 Ancient Greek 
 
φοῖβε, σὲ μὲν καὶ κύκνος ὑπὸ πτερύγων λίγ᾽ ἀείδει,
ὄχθῃ ἐπιθρώσκων ποταμὸν πάρα δινήεντα,
Πηνειόν: σὲ δ᾽ ἀοιδὸς ἔχων φόρμιγγα λίγειαν
ἡδυεπὴς πρῶτόν τε καὶ ὕστατον αἰὲν ἀείδει.
καὶ σὺ μὲν οὕτω χαῖρε, ἄναξ, ἵλαμαι δέ σ᾽ ἀοιδῇ. 

English Version 

Phoebos, even the pure-voiced swan on the wing sings of you,
leaping upon the bank beside the whirling river
Peneios; and of you the sweet-singing bard
with clear-sounding phorminx always sings first and last.
Hail to you then, lord: may I please you with my song.

As we reach our 30th release on the label, Animal Farm is proud to present Stephanie Sykes’ first solo EP since 2016’s effort on Prodigal Son. Those two years have seen her presence in the techno scene explode, with a flurry of appearances across Europe - our own Animal Farm night in Glasgow among them + residencies at Tbilisi’s KHIDI and the infamous after hours Jaded crew in London, Corsica Studios.

Title track ‘Interference’ is an impeccably crafted tool in the vein of her recent DJ sets - boomy in the low end with sweeping peak time sensibilities. It’s a brand of unpretentious techno purism Sykes has become synonymous with, also making her a firm favourite with the Animal Farm crowd. 

‘The electro-informed ‘On The Other Side’ shows a new side to Sykes’ production; contrasting mean drums with opulent synth work to craft something that is simultaneously dreamy and ‘floor effective. The elusive Janice turns his hand to ‘Interference’ on the flip, providing a razor sharp mind-trip of a remix that’s as affirming as it is abrasive.

All tracks mastered by Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering
