Swarm Intelligence’s unique take on industrial techno is back, with the second instalment on his self-titled label, coming this November.

Fiercely intense, dramatic and cutting-edge, Swarm Intelligence’s distinctive take on techno has garnered him a solid following amongst the true underground of the scene. Following on from the widely supported launch of his label, SWRM002 is a striking next step – a testament to the quiet confidence of a skilled artist unafraid to eschew norms and carve his own path. This second EP continues to draw inspiration from dystopian themes of new and imagined technologies and their resulting societal impact.

‘Critical Signal’ was produced during the global pandemic, and iteratively refined over the following years. Grinding basses and tense atmospherics sit atop a thunderous four-to-the-floor. Its message to humanity is as relevant now as it was then – “you are resilient, you will prevail”. In ‘Mass Disinformation’ a visceral, bleak and unsettling sonic landscape punctuated by a slamming groove is an apt metaphor for the psychological warfare being unleashed on the world today.

Opening the B-side, the uplifting glory of ‘Digital Immortality’ lifts the tone of the release. Here, Swarm’s signature glitchy, broken beats complement beautiful melodic swells and a rolling bass line. The track imagines a digital afterlife where, upon uploading our consciousness, we leave our bodies behind. Bringing the EP to a close, “Singularity Dawns” is the most freeform, cinematic composition. Its obscure broken rhythms and traversing sequence tells the tale of an AI becoming self-aware and discovering its capacity to feel.

Katran - Le Son De La Décomposition (YB70) 2023

Premiere: La versión única de Swarm Intelligence del techno industrial está de regreso, con la segunda entrega de su sello homónimo, disponible en noviembre.

Ferozmente intensa, dramática y vanguardista, la visión distintiva del techno de Swarm Intelligence le ha ganado un gran número de seguidores entre el verdadero underground de la escena. Siguiendo desde el lanzamiento de su sello, SWRM002, que cuenta con un gran apoyo, es un siguiente paso sorprendente: un testimonio de la tranquila confianza de un artista experto que no teme evitar las normas y forjar su propio camino. Este segundo EP continúa inspirándose en temas distópicos de tecnologías nuevas e imaginadas y su impacto social resultante.
'Critical Signal' se produjo durante la pandemia global y se perfeccionó de forma iterativa durante los años siguientes. Bajos chirriantes y atmósferas tensas se asientan sobre un atronador cuatro al suelo. Su mensaje a la humanidad es tan relevante ahora como lo era entonces: “eres resistente y prevalecerás”. 
En 'Disinformation Era', un paisaje sonoro visceral, sombrío e inquietante puntuado por un ritmo contundente es una metáfora adecuada de la guerra psicológica que se está desatando en el mundo de hoy.

Al abrir la cara B, la edificante gloria de 'Digital Immortality' eleva el tono del lanzamiento. Aquí, los ritmos rotos y con fallas característicos de Swarm complementan hermosas ondas melódicas y una línea de bajo ondulante. La pista imagina una vida futura digital donde, al cargar nuestra conciencia, dejamos atrás nuestros cuerpos. Para cerrar el EP, “Singularity Dawns” es la más libre de las composiciones cinematográficas. Sus ritmos oscuros entrecortados y su secuencia transversal cuentan la historia de una IA que se vuelve consciente de sí misma y descubre su capacidad de sentir.

Escuche exclusivamente "Disinformation Era" por Swarm Intelligence solo en @knifearg SoundCloud.
