TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 6

The train will leave soon.
Not the one out there – the one inside me.

I don’t know where it’s going.
But this time, I no longer ask for a destination.
Only whether I may change my seat.
Sometimes, movement helps — even in stillness.

Still Bound

~ The Intrinsic Nature, a source, a manuscript of codes. 

The essence of living beings; it takes some time to grasp its marvel. 
You can find it in everything that exists and you can also find it in nothing.
Fundamental order of all the things, such as matter. A particle —-
essentially everything that existed, exists and will exist. Also the void, home of nothing.

Because to be, to evolve or to exist in unpolluted way; equipped with a DNA-narrative, from a pre-mutated space dust particle, the seed of all existence, the mega-source —- The Universe. Form and matter architect, total collector of energies, the reason for life and decay.

'Harmony in Chaos' in infinitum and always in tandem. The two mega-forces working on par. Without any hate but not in love. Their parasitic symbiosis is neither an ebb nor a flow. The existence of dust particles in space and time —- mutating, evolving.

It is of an utter importance to once again tune in and observe the nature which radiates from within us. From the very fabric of our close surroundings, and from afar, far beyond the abyss ~

Knife presenta Pastram (Motel Campo). Verdadero purista del vinilo, Pastram construyó su enfoque para pinchar dentro de un proyecto colaborativo llamado l'Etabli, junto con BKR. 
Dj italiano criado en las afueras de Ginebra, actúa desde hace años como residente de Rudelbums, saliendo bajo la bandera del colectivo suizo cuyos rave-events son aclamados por su frenesí.
Pastram ha desarrollado un fuerte enfoque en la rítmica cruda, asumiendo una forma intensa de comunicación donde los ecos catárticos y el sintetizador rave se vuelven intrincados. Una paleta caleidoscópica de influencias que trasciende la línea entre la música corporal, industrial, wave y grinding techno, sin dejar límites a lo que pretende crear.
Desde Suiza a Italia, Alemania o Ucrania, Pastram se ha abierto camino a través de clubes en Berlín, Milán, Manchester, Kiev o París en lugares como MetaCulture, Motel Campo, Tresor, White Hotel, Glazart y Suicide Circus.

One of my favourite tracks that Minus released during the minimal heyday from one of my favourite producers they had.

Ambivalent had a knack of always sounding unique where lots of minimal was pretty much all sounding the same.

Not a track I can really play now, so I made this version just for me

Ambivalent - R U OK (Kenny Campbell Isn't OK Remix)

Artist: Duellist & IFormat
Title: 'Rabid'
Label: Drøne
Cat. #: DR0̸0̸5
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 15th March, 2021
Pre order: https://dronemcr.bandcamp.com/music

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Duellist & IFormat' track remixed by Ryuji Takeuchi on 'Drøne'.
Once again Scottish heavyweights Duellist and iFormat join forces this time for Manchester’s finest, Drøne.
Their track, Rabid is a journey through twisted synth lines, driving percussion and punishing kick drums.  
The remix package is equally as impressive.
Ryuji Takeuchi  takes the track in another direction entirely.  
Reducing everything down to the bare bones, yet creating something destructively complex.  
Half time kick drums and a wall of building noise await here.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from IRKLIS. "Into eternity" comes off their upcoming album, to be released on Latvian label Sturm. The German/Latvian post-industrial act returns to Sturm with a brand new full-length – “Onkalo”. The sound of IRKLIS is based in the tradition of electro-industrial and minimal EBM, and is largely affected by the vintage synths and gear they continue to use since the eighties. Focused and discreet, yet upfront, not over-polished and not lacking a groove.

The release is out February 28th. Pre-order now: https://sturmmandat.bandcamp.com/album/onkalo

IRKLIS - Into eternity (Sturm)

Good DJ, average producer, terrible dancer.

Techno mostly.  Some hardcore.

Enjoy
