[p*dis] distribution sampler for February 2014


Kangding Ray - Solens Arc -Blank Empire (clip) <raster-noton>

We are very pleased to welcome Second Tension as our 36th guest on the Kaos London podcast series with a live mix of new music created for the Kaos London showcase at Astron Club, Athens in July 2024.

Second Tension is a project by Stavros Tilkeridis, a Greek artist and DJ. Stavros started creating music back in the early nineties, with next to no access to the outside world. He started with tape loops, not too dissimilar to those by Pierre Schaffer, and got his hands on his first sampler, Mpc 2000xl, by the late nineties. Stavros was introduced to rave culture in the early two-thousands and experimented his way through them, using his music to search for a deeper, hidden meaning. He started Second Tension in 2016 as an attempt to capture a progressive spirit in electronic music, combining primitive and industrial aesthetics. With 3 EPs and an LP  on Persephonic Sirens, and several  released on OSM Tapes, and Monolith.

Kaos London podcast #36 - Second Tension

🔥 Electric Heat – by Nexus

Electric Heat radiates with the glow of midnight movement and sun-kissed sound. 💃🌴 This album is a kinetic escape — where velvet basslines meet ocean air, and hypnotic rhythms dance under blazing skies. Nexus channels the spirit of summer nights on foreign shores, blending sleek electronic energy with the warmth of coastal freedom.

Think rooftop parties above glowing cityscapes, barefoot nights on Balearic sands, and the magnetic pull of the beat long after the sun disappears. 🍸🌇 It’s seductive, sun-drenched, and built for bodies that never want the music to stop.

INLAND RETURNS

When I started my journey into music, many years ago, there were so many grounds to explore.
I started exploring techno music, but little by little my concerns went beyond. This album that I share with you today is a sample of my experimental tracks, which I made along all those years. 
Some of this tracks were made more than 15 years ago. 
I had the good fortune to exhibit them @ Mutek in Barcelona a few years ago, but I never found the time to release them.
Today I have decided to publish them for free, the free download is activated in my soundcloud account.
Music has always been my channel of expression, my source of life, my devotion and I feel blessed in this life every day for being able to share it with the world.
