Juno Records Review:

"The ever-prolific Brendon Moeller returns with a third EP for Knotweed under his Echologist alias, treading the line between glitchy minimal, propulsive techno and dubwise immersion with flair and poise. There are some powerful, deeply submerged kicks to be enjoyed on 'Activation', but they're not just deployed as standard. On 'Concentrate' they might be more prominent, but still there's a sense of confident restraint in which Moeller can create captivating energy and a full-frequency experience without resorting to obvious tactics. For those who favour something a little more stimulating and subtle from their techno experience, this EP has everything you need."

Predawn Records  - What are you listening to?

Quali sono le differenze e le somiglianze tra il suono umano e quello artificiale, tra le oscillazioni generate dalle corde vocali e le voci del sintetizzatore, la tensione amplificata dagli altoparlanti? In Silencio, il suo ultimo album per Tresor Records, Moritz von Oswald lavora con un coro di 16 voci per esplorare questo concetto.

Silencio

Moritz von Oswald - Silencio - Tresor Records [PREMIERE]

For the final show of the year we have a special live recording from sound designer and field recording researcher @margauxgazur. The recent performance took place at Silent Green where guests witnessed Margaux's study of textures and patterns, using a combination of instruments, utensils, found objects, among other things  whilst experimenting with movements and space. If you have the chance to catch her live, we highly recommend it, as it's an incredibly meditative experience.

Tracklist
First 30mins - Roman Ćinkse
Keening & Crying (The Tapeloop Orchestra Remix)
KMRU - Uneven
Alliyah Enyo - HYMN *4 empty club*
Leo Svirsky - Rain, Rivers, Forest, Corn, Wind, Sand

KW055 - Myk Derill - Hard Smoke

Today is such a somber day for the underground community. We have lost such amazing artists, and I have no words to express the deep sadness I feel. I've been listening to their discography the entire day, trembling as I remember their music, which has been a huge inspiration to me for the past 10 years. I've chosen my favorite tracks and tried to put together a tribute mix. Tears streamed down my face while recording, and I still can't believe it, but I feel gratitude for having had the chance to see them perform. May their art live on forever. 🤍🕊️

Luis Vasquez 🌹
Juan Méndez 🌹
Simone Ling 🌹

Rest in power.

About the mix:

"This mix is pure hypnotic madness! I wanted to show how diverse psychedelic electronic music can be. Being an observer of the latest trends and the designs of talented producers, I shared some gems. Here you can meet producers such as Vardae, Zara, Mordio, and also some artefacts from QEONE, NON series, Annuled Music, Blue Night Jungle. Prepared and presented for Tundra x Fantasmagoria event in Noce Krk. Enjoy"

Philippe Petit is back on his own imprint, delivering 4 diverse tracks aimed directly at the dancefloor, exploring different shades of techno.

Starting with the metallic sounding ‘Killdozer’, the record rumbles through with the acid fuelled ‘Five Zero’. The flip side opens with the dubby 90’s influenced ‘See The Light’ and finishes with Detroit influenced ‘Fracture’.

Junodownload review:
Philippe Petit is one of the unsung heroes of European techno. This is partly due to the fact that his label, Knotweed, has focused a lot of its efforts on releasing music by luminaries like Terrence Dixon and Myles Serge. However, Fracture looks certain to redress that imbalance. Designed to accommodate a range of moods and feelings, the release starts with the detuned riffs of "Killdozer", before heading to the peak time thanks to the pulsating, acid-led bass of "Five Zero". On "See The Light", the Knotweed boss focuses on a similar approach - although its whooshing synths somewhat offset the effect of its pulsating bass and hammering kicks - while on the title track, Petit calls to mind Rob Hood's visceral minimal thanks to its searing riffs and malevolent chord stabs.
