Daniel Avery announces his most ambitious and accomplished studio album to date, 'Ultra Truth', out on Phantasy on 4th November 2022. Available to pre-order now on clear gatefold vinyl, CD and cassette with each format including an exclusive bonus track.

'Ultra Truth' offers a very different listening experience to any of Daniel Avery’s previous records. It inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in his Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah.

﻿Hear the first taster of the forthcoming album with 'Chaos Energy', which lands on streaming platforms, alongside a neo-futuristic music video created using AI technology by close-collaborator Claudia Rafael.

Delia Derbyshire - the dreams

"This is a holdover from the Pure Sonik Evening sessions, but never before released. I was inspired by Timbaland’s beats on this one, but the MMT-8 sequencer is limited. I’ve got the DrumStation and R-8 both going at once on this track, with the BassStation and the R-8 on the same MIDI channel, hence the heavy bassline." (Alan D. Oldham aka DJ T-1000)

DJ T-1000 - Berlin

Donato Basile AKA DJ Plant Texture always wants his music to tell a story, and with his debut EP on Tresor Records, entitled Life, he’s now trying to tell the biggest story there is.

According to the artist, “Life is about the fear of growing up”; both the anxiety itself and acknowledging and moving past it.

This narrative seems to have struck a chord with those who have heard the track, “People want to reflect themselves in the music; something personal. Lots of people have been in touch after hearing it; I guess they feel something melancholic in it. Personally, I imagine the track is like the life of a person; going from being born through childhood and youth and onwards, so perhaps they hear this?”

Having used an MPC since the early 2000s, Basile feels an intuitive connection to the hardware he uses, and so the creative process is very spontaneous: “I know where everything is so the music is made immediately.  I make everything in the first ten minutes; after that if it’s not right then I just abandon it and start something else.”

This immediacy, and familiarity with his equipment is apparent on the A-side, where Basile’s previous life as a drummer comes to the fore and tracks like Cycles and Ripetivo display his native understanding of groove but also how to stir things up - the three A-side tracks find classic techno rhythms seemingly falling apart only to snap back into place even stronger.

The B-side finds Donato exploring more of his melodic side with WTT and the aforementioned title track showing Plant Texture’s love of breakbeat and classic techno.

The three digital bonus tracks continue this exploration of melody and syncopated beats - The EXP Days echos the wistful feeling of Life, as Basile meditates on the times spent at EXP, his record shop in Bari, which functioned as a meeting place for electronic producers in the area. 

Together the eight tracks show a breadth of knowledge and ability of an artist that has grown older and more experienced over time, and is ready to share his evolution.

Kynant Records looks first to a techno veteran in Max Durante.

Max has been active for over 25 years and is regarded as one of the pioneers of Italian techno and electro. Having recently joined the ranks of Adam X’s Sonic Groove imprint, Max continues to command a strong presence in the wider techno scene.

His first offering on Kynant is ‘Black Light’, a four-track EP of deep and physical, avant-garde techno. The A-side begins with the swung drums, drone and perc of ‘Black Light’ and continues the distorted, broken-beat theme with ‘Solar Request’. On the flip, ‘Biocentrism’ is more direct with its bleeps, sharp high-end percussion and weighty 4x4 kick. The master of hypnotic techno Donato Dozzy provides a remix of ‘Biocentrism’, looping the feedback into a powerful groove for the DJs.

Black Sand is a new collaboration combining techno sounds old and new.

The duo consists of Max Durante (who produced the first Kynant record) and fellow-Italian, DJ Datch. Their ‘Desert Island EP’ is heavy on drum machines and classic styling but produced with modern design.

'Abyss’ and 'Black Sea' begin the record with restraint, building a groove out of tense layers of underwater atmosphere and a tough low-end.  The B-Side pushes the sound harder; the creeping drone of 'Dead Sea' is tailored for DJs to gradually build a room's energy, whilst 'High Tide' is peak-time material noticeably inspired by the 90s.

Here's something nobody wanted or requested - a new album by the long forgotten band Minimalistic Sweden. Or actually one person asked me three weeks ago if we still exist. We hadn't recorded any music together since our CD Standard Klickmusik was released thru Mikael Stavöstrands Mitek label back in 2003. Seventeen years later, here we are again with Triptyk, a record we created during three weeks in isolation by sending files back and forth. Hope you like it and if you do - please support us by pruchasing the album. It's only 7 euros and if you purchase it today, Bandcamp is kind enough to give us the full amount. Nice one, Bandcamp!
