MNMT Premiere: Maurizio Cascella - Disegno 7 (Evigt Mörker Remix) [CONCRETE]

By posing the question Are we on the run?, PRG/M explores a variety of spacey frequencies through this EP which comes in February on Mnestic Records. It includes four original tracks along with a remix from Mod21, and we are happy to bring you in contact with the release through the premiere of Here We Come. The composition starts with blasting warps and syncopated faders to announce the journey's beginning of those who come from far beyond. Its structure is further enhanced with otherworldly bleeps and sparks, resembling parts of the vast, chaotic, and dark vacuum surrounding our full-of-life planet. The track blooms with radiating cosmic energy while maintaining a light atmosphere in its duration and filtering itself with futuristic layers and outlines as a signal of the upcoming arrival.

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."

Camera Magmatica co-founder Prg/m and fellow Italian artist Neel come together for Mirabilis, a new EP that fuses ambient tones and techno flavours. Five tracks come on the vinyl 12", plus two digital bonuses.

Camera Magmatica calls back on board Neel, after the experimental outing cassette he curated some years ago. He is of course a revered sonic sculptor who works as one-half of Voices From the Lake on labels like Token Records, Spazio Disponibile and Spectrum Spools. He ended 2022 on a high with his EP The 808 Archive on Non-Series, and now continues that form in 2023. Prg/m, meanwhile, is a musician, live act and multimedia artist who also has a highly crafted sound that is rich in immersive pads and deconstructed rhythms. As well as working solo, he has collaborated as r²π with his label co-founders Retina.it and Ruhig while also releasing on Semantica, Midgar and Concrete Rec amongst others.

This new EP continues the Napoli Arcana vinyl series and pays homage to the mystic Neapolitan region. Mirabilis in particular is dedicated to the Piscina Mirabilis site that was constructed in the 1st century AD when Augustus was Emperor. It was an enormous reservoir at the end of the Aqua Augusta or Aqueduct of August and it provided drinking water for Naples and the Roman fleet.

'Idra' opens up in a cavern with water droplets and sonic ripples sketching out the vast size of the space. Atmospheric drones make for an increasingly heavy atmosphere as deep sub bass moves things forwards and spoken word snippets arrive with thoughts on climate change. 'Priapo' immediately sinks you into a deep and weighty techno rhythm that is loopy, organic and hypnotic in equal measure. It's sparse yet tense and leads into 'Misenensis' (Neel Version), an edgy sound world where unresolved drum loops rock backward and forwards with ambient pads and icy sounds layered to eerie effect. 'Mitra' is another smooth, heady techno rhythm that suspends you in space and time and 'Mirabilis' resets with two minutes of ambient that sounds like it was recorded at the earth's core with molten lava slowly flowing all around you.

The digital-only track 'Misenensis' (PRGM Version) is rubbery techno with gloopy drums and bass, pulsing synths. It builds with the tension of approaching danger as if an eruption is just about to come, then the second digital cut 'Leone' carries you away on another wave of serene and cerebral techno that is brought to life deft sound design.

This is an artful exploration of high-concept techno that works as well up close on headphones as it does in a darkened club space.

This is a preview of 'A Swing Is Not A Throw', out on Time To Express under catalog number T2X38.

'A Swing Is Not A Throw' is the indirect result of my decision in 2022 to focus on performing live shows. Every live show is recorded and analysed afterwards. I take notes on which combinations worked best, which transitions to elaborate upon, how to make the whole sound better for the next show. After more than six months of performing live I decided to shape this new material into complete tracks. It was time for a new EP, two years after Echoes From Westbrook Bay. Hence 'A Swing Is Not A Throw'.
