Cakrawala is released on Bandcamp:

Cakrawala (Horizon) is a journey through Javanese Gamelan and Electronics.

A collage of tradition collaborating with technology, where old meets new. Gamelan are gong orchestra's from South East Asia and my journey has been guiding me to Indonesia since 2008. Here I've been overwhelmed by the richness of Indonesian culture and the kindness of the people. Though sharing a long history Indonesia is very different from the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands 2008 were the days when Dubstep was roaming the dancefloor and I was heavily influenced by sub heavy music and Sound System culture. It was also the year when I first started going to Indonesia where I went on a mission to make field recordings.

At that time mp3 players contained about 512 MB so I had to choose my music very carefully. With Amon Tobin, Digital Mystikz, Vex'd and similar artist locked in my headphones I made field recordings over the course of a year and in my head this music started fusing with Indonesian culture.

These influences combined inspired the foundation to the music. This album is a "Gado Gado" (Mixed vegetables and a synonym for "Mixed") of various recordings, styles and cultures.

Hope you enjoy!

Lacuna - Reboot EP (JT008)

Jah-Tek welcomes Indian born and now Netherlands based producer Lacuna to the collective with a 4 tracker varying in deep bass expression.

Lacuna starts the EP off with space and pressure. 'Regenerate' bends and manipulates the audio spectrum to carve an unsettling arrangement with stretched rasps and airy artefacts.

Track 2 'Jawdrop' ramps up the energy with an exploding bassline that opens and retracts, whilst oscillating in parallel to a complementary shuffling hi-hat pattern.

The EP then progresses into electric tonality with track 3 'Love U So'. An ensemble that features a plethora of lead harmonics that afflict like a lightning surge, with further intensification from a resonating vocal shout.

To conclude the EP, Lacuna strips back the colour with 'Proto Nucleya', a dubstep wobbler, with a strong percussive dynamics and marching rhythmics.

'Reboot EP' drops on the 13th of September exclusively via Bandcamp, followed by a full release on all platforms on the 20th of September.

Tracklist:

1.) Lacuna - Regenerate
2.) Lacuna - Jawdrop
3.) Lacuna - Love U So
4.) Lacua - Proto Nucleya
