FT + P41 Chester Copperpot- Lost In Caves

FT + P41 Chester Copperpot - Original

Savvas Ysatis is no stranger to electronic music. With experience dating back to the early nineties, the Greek producer has released more than a few tracks under various names. ‘Fade To Black’ is his latest release, already featured on the Body Language Volume 16 compilation mixed by Francesco Tristano, the track has now gotten the remix treatment from Camea and P41.   First up we get Camea’s take on things. She gives the percussion an organic touch while keeping a distinctly mechanical vibe via the raw synthwork. Tension builds with the synths and is counter balanced with warm pads as the percussion chugs along below. P41 keeps things deep and dark, wandering near dub-tech territory with the synthworth, yet strictly techno as far as percussion is concerned. Of course we include the original as well, with its up-tempo hustle and dirty atmosphere. A properly executed track that keeps the tension thick and the energy rising.

Fade To Black- P41 Rmx Preview

Hitting the music press headlines recently was news of a second Floorplan album.  Now M-Plant delivers a first taste of this highly anticipated release with two tracks from the album, ‘Music’ and ‘Tell You No Lie’.

Floorplan is already well known as Robert Hood’s house, disco, funk and gospel outlet, which this year evolves into a family affair with co-production alongside his daughter, Lyric.  ‘Victorious’ will be the second Floorplan album and follow-up to 2013’s ‘Paradise’ which spawned ‘Let’s Ride, ‘Baby Baby’ and the massive ‘Never Grow Old’.

Set to replicate the success of ‘Paradise’, ‘Victorious’ will be released in June.  To precede it, the single released at the end of April is comprised of the bumping house groove of ‘Music’ (which received it’s first global airing on B.Traits’ BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra show in February) and the disco rotations of ‘Tell You No Lie’. 

Both tracks are exceptionally infectious, with tough beats, glorious vocal reprises and sure not to disappoint.

V/A Organic Elements EP (Artefakt, Alan Backdrop, Ben Gibson, Tripsolate & Redundant) SBCV003

It’s not everyday that pianist and composer, Francesco Tristano, joins forces with one of the Belleville Three — the godfathers of Detroit techno — and yet, anyone who’s followed the Luxembourg artist will know that expectation is not a currency he deals in. 

Set for release on Transmat, the groundbreaking label from said techno pioneer, Derrick May, Surface Tension is not just the latest album from the prolific Tristano, but perhaps the most significant in his ongoing explorations into electronic music. Described by the man himself as his “most techno and synth-based project yet,” the eight-track effort is both a celebration of electronic instrumentation and the first record May has worked extensively on for the better part of two decades. “I had to lure him into my studio,” Tristano says of May with a smile, “he was like Alice in Wonderland when he saw the synthesizers.”

Originally developed as a way create new material for Tristano’s p:anorig project — a unique live set-up debuted at Barcelona’s Sónar festival earlier this year, which finds the artist surrounded by large array of keyboards, synthesizers and other equipment (although ironically, no piano) in full view of the audience — Surface Tension grew into a project in its own right. Now 34 years old, Tristano explains that he is only now at a time in his life where he has a studio he can truly call his own. “I can hook up all these synthesizers that I’ve picked up over the years,” he continues, “it’s the fulfillment of that.” With an instrumentarium of analogue, digital, classic and modern gear — ranging from Prophets to Moogs, to Rolands and Yamahas — at his and May’s disposal, Tristano has aimed to keep processing to a minimum from the word go. The pair aren’t just using these synths, they’re paying tribute to them, honoring the rich, recognisable sound palettes that have made them household names.

The result is an album that feels, at once, nostalgic and fresh; that feels like an old friend, but one who never ceases to surprise. From the ambient vision of ‘Esoteric Thing’, drifting along to the sound of birdsong, to more beat-centric pieces such as ‘The Mentor’ and the quirky ‘Xokolade’ , the equipment, and the love it’s been treated with, shines through. Both Tristano and May’s individual presences are obvious too, yet work in a way so complimentary to each other as to blur the lines at which they cross. ‘Pacific FM’ is a lesson in uplifting techno, keys fluttering over padfoot bass; the futuristic Detroit dance of ‘In Da Minor’ is undercut by eerie, unpredictable glass synth-work; ‘Rocco's Bounce’ is free-form jazz tugged into line by structured four-to-the-floor; there’s even an itchy, jittering, Decca Records-sanctioned remix of Japanese pianist and general Renaissance man, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s classic ‘Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence’.

Those hoping for a Francesco Tristano piano album: be duly warned. “The piano is there, but it’s more like the shadow of the piano. We don’t have the mass of that sound, it’s more like the reminiscence of that sound,” says Tristano. But it’s this which gives Surface Tension the aforementioned significance. Tristano hasn’t abandoned his roots — they’re deep, but there, for those who wish to find them — yet has simultaneously transcended what it means to be a pianist in the 21st century. Tristano and May have brought together old and new, within themselves and on a wider musical level, and in doing so, rekindled the spirit of futurist expression that techno was first founded on all those years ago.

Love Songs: Part Two

Come Close To Me

d_func. (aka Alexander Kowalski) makes a welcome return to Finitude.

The title hints at what to expect from the EP. Spiral Tribe are a legendary UK-originated free party project, active since the early 90's who introduced free teknivals all over Europe and North America, and the electronic music scene owes them a great deal.

Paying tribute to their activities, Alexander has prepared a two-parter, which strays away his 'signature' style. Both "Spiral Tribe Cuts" are slow, hypnotic acid burners which will be appreciated by old skool acid trance heads, as well as Plastikman and Sähko fans.

There is also a remix coming from the Swedish artist Evigt Mörker, who provides the most club-oriented track on the EP. His take is a piece of ethereal, timeless techno - if you're into Donato Dozzy or Abdulla Rashim, you're in for a treat.

A recording from Rhythm Büro's first anniversary event back in 2016. Acronym held an opening slot that night, and we're finally presenting a cut from his set to you.

Acronym - Rhythm Büro Podcast 004

We consider this set from our first ever forest event to be nothing short of legendary. Luckily, we have the recording of what was arguably the highlight of the night (or morning), so here we are, sharing it with our followers. Kudos to Ben for being an essential part of that happening!

"Go. I don’t need you anyway. You were only holding me back. You, with your rigid ways and impenetrable exterior; I’m not like you. I need movement, fluidity. Freedom. Expression. Feelings. I need to be alive. This emotionless, glass-eyed view of the world that’s your vision. And you held me to it, like some sort of prisoner. Yes, that’s what you are. You’re shackles. Iron bars disguised as safety. You thought I would stay with you forever, in the limbo of that grounded shrinking quadrant, drip-fed. Your pet. Your lab rat. For a while there I totally lost myself, sinking further and further under your sedation. Life became colourless. And then there was nothing. But in the curlicues of deep encompassing darkness, that’s when I realised: I wasn’t the weak one. It was you all along. You needed me. I was the prop that stopped you from falling down. Well, no more. This ends now. It’s time we became unbound. I release you. Go. Be free."

Grey Series 04 comes from the farthest corner of Eastern Europe courtesy of Ukrainian techno pioneer, photographer and designer Stanislav Tolkachev. Like the sullen eerie beauty of his black and white photography, Tolkachev’s music explores the darker, surreal fringes of electronic music in its purest, rawest state. Retroactive seams run through his audio and visual output to date from the grainy analogue qualities of his Detroit-facing sound, through to the classic stills that emboss his discography. They are almost one and the same, both challenging and re-contextualising the past with modern sentiment, agendas and hidden meanings pursing with intrigue and ambiguity. ‘Depth of light’ sees Tolkachev plot more intoxicating, caustic dream sequences, translating fitful night terrors into a diverse and multifunctional EP. Beginning with the woozy title track we confront fears (“Like a cat’s shadow”) and anxieties (“Break something that breaks you”) on the feverish A-side, before flipping over for reserved reprieve (“No home no flag”) and acid-washed revenge (“Don't shit on your own doorstep”). And then we awake. Tired, sweaty, but satisfied.
