KADETT 005 : David Body - Soundstation

https://atomnationrec.lnk.to/unfoldvol2

Sky Civilian is a musician and producer located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 2019, she signed to Dutch label Atomnation, releasing debut EP Open Door and sophomore EP At the Seams. Her productions bridge many sonic worlds (pop, techno, house) but always land with an air of softness and warmth.

Her newest single ‘Calle Electra’ is a catchy piece of clean avant-pop.

The track title translates loosely to mean “amber road”, or “glistening street” — or very loosely to mean “the bright way.”

The sonic palette is bright and warm, with strings and hats recorded from a vintage Casiotone synth and a fuzzy chiptune bass line.

Atomnation's 90th release is to be an album from long time associate David Douglas. He first appeared on the label in 2012 and now Escapism is a triumphant return across 10 tracks of deeply melodic and melancholic electronic music, with artwork by Menno Fokma.

David is a consistently high quality and prolific producer who has put out key albums like Moon Observations and Spectators Of The Universe, as well as vital EPs such as Mountain Pink and Royal Horticultural Society. He is an accomplished video editor who also edits documentaries while at the same time being an all encompassing producer. David finds inspiration in the majesty of the cosmos and the grandeur of nature and manages to capture the essence of that in his music. He has had critical acclaim from esteemed outlets like Pitchfork and XLR8R, has played all round the world and frequently has his music synced by brands like Louis Vuitton, Channel, Givenchy, and Fiat. After a short break, he is now back and better than ever in 2021.

This is an album that finds a perfect balance between heady underground sounds and more catchy pop tracks. After a serene ambient opener that soothes the mind, 'Wade' featuring NYC based artist Erika Spring (from indie-band Au Revoir Simone) is an airy bit of avant pop with a clean, heavenly vocal offset by stuttering synths and rubbery beats. 'Can You Feel It' again explores the tension between melancholic, mournful beats and synths and a more upbeat vocal that soars to the skies.

There is plenty of bright, reflective and shiny melody to ensure 'Golden Days' lifts your spirits, and a high point half way through the album comes from 'Lumen' featuring contemporary Dutch star Blaudzun, with whom David has worked as HATY HATY. Here they explore a heavenly house vibe with vocals that send shivers down your spine and have you desperate for an outdoor summer dance. Later, 'Drifting Away' is a bristling broken beat track with hyper speed drums and bass underpinning shimmering melodies that sounds like nothing else out there. After that, 'Come Alive' brings upbeat house and organic hits with sun scorched synths, and finally Erika Spring reappears on the tender downbeat lullaby that is 'Fade Into My Heart' which closes things down in stylish fashion.

This is an accomplished and adventurous album that takes you on an emotional ride through the ups and downs of everyday life, all with a delicate musical touch.

Michael Mayer’s latest EP, Brainwave Technology, comes at you purposeful, stealthy and sly. It’s a glorious left turn for the redoubtable producer, one that sees his typically lean and lithe productions buffed to a metallic, futurist sheen. There’s a gleam in the eyes of tracks like “Brainwave Technology” and “Alpha” that speaks of serious fun, of the intersection of the pleasure zone and the frontal lobe.

“Brainwave Technology” itself is informed by Mayer’s deep dive into the thorny terrain of artificial intelligence, transhumanism and posthumanism. Inspired by reading German philosopher Richard David Precht, Mayer found himself heading down the “proverbial rabbit hole,” as he describes it, “watching hours of YouTube material by self-proclaimed prophets of these ‘inevitable’ changes to come.” Never one to be taken in by the egotist’s dance, Mayer’s cynicism about the whole endeavour is tempered, a little, by the deeper questions that these figures gesture towards: “Is it really an evolutionary step that man and machine become one? Or is it rather a marketing plot by Silicon Valley billionaires?”

On “Brainwave Technology”, Mayer plays the charlatans at their own game, turning their logic against them by exposing the fruitiness of their ‘visions’. “I chose irony as my sword with which I chopped off some quotes from some of those batshit crazy prophets and self-promoters,” he explains of the drooling psychobabble he drops in the track’s lacuna. There’s a sense of humour here – how could you not laugh at these hungover egotists? – but there’s levity too, a sense that Mayer’s using sound to expose the contradictions and double-speak at the heart of these half-formed ideas. It’s a Burroughsian tactic, to slice into the heart of the voice to see what hidden truths surface.

It was Burroughs, too, who once said that “when you cut into the past, the future leaks out”; Brainwave Technology cuts into the logic of the futurologist to leak out the messiness of modern reality. On “Alpha” and “Gamma”, Mayer seems to conjure up the stark, ominous music that’d soundtrack a science fiction reinterpretation – or preinterpretation – of our modern malaise, all funereal wreaths of electronic noise and clatterboxing beats. As the EP resolves with “Device For The Young At Heart”, Mayer’s questions are piling up: “Do we want to become immortal and live on as a download? Do we really give up on Earth and put all our effort into colonising Mars?” There are no answers, of course, but plenty of imaginings-to-be. Brainwave Technology soundtracks both dystopian and utopian possibilities of what could come next.
