Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

B2 - Translate - Shifted Communications

The AMTK+ series on Amotik’s self-titled imprint gives room for friends and admired artists to present their futuristic take on techno. For the fifth edition, Italian producer D-Leria joins the team and presents two highly effective, booming techno trips. The first track, ‘Filterbank’ sets the tone with its punching kick-drums mangled in between buzzing bass lines. His second track, ‘Let It Be’ shows a rare side from D-Leria where he uses mesmerising vocal chops to create an immersive, driving techno tool. On the flip side, Argentinian artist Translate comes in with some excellent bleepy hypnotism on ‘Notation’, followed by the darker, pulsating ‘Shifted Communication’.

KHIDI Records presents Holy Mess Chronicles, a full-length album by the club’s long-standing resident and one of the key figures in the local electronic music scene, Achi Tabukashvili, also known as Vulkanski.

Holy Mess Chronicles is a poetry of remnants, an urban time record where plastic melts beneath the sun, metal breathes rust, and synthetic dust clings to concrete. Episodes shift like chemical reactions — dissolving, breaking apart, and fusing together.

This accidental harmony of fermentation strangely weaves itself across techno territories.

Tracklist:
01. Sloom
02. Nonsense Net
03. Nuclear Honey
04. Deshifrator
05. Pneumatic Negotiation
06. Salvage Psalms
07. Erratic
08. Tarsis Drifts
09. Mosaic Shards in Bog
10. Frass Bloom
11. Slow Shutter Speed
12. Conclusion

Written and produced by Achi Tabukashvili
Artwork by Danaida & Khatia Khatiashvili
Mastered by Dadub Studios
