"I made this ambient piece on one of those cold evenings last winter. It has been inspired and built around a recording of Anastasia Basenko reading a fragment of the play «No Exit» by Sartre. If you need a little extra tranquillity and calmness in your life this one might be up your alley." — Bop

Bop ft. Anastasia Basenko - Glancing Stream

Release: March 24th 2022

Static & Strange focuses on non-linear explorations in bass music across a wide variety of soundscapes. Vying for a sound imagined from noir-ish films, abstract theory and a protest of the scourge of hashtag activism, the label was born as a motivation to serve narratives with both audio and visual art.

Founded by Unchained co-founder and label manager Lyndon Jarr; and Mike Airstrike, a long-time producer and Unchained team member, Static & Strange serves as an alternate platform for both their own output as well as that of friends and like-minded artists.

With roots in drum’n’bass, ambient, progressive tech and dubstep, the focus is on experimentation and a “voyage in sonics,” alongside an anything goes approach.

Whilst Drum’n’Bass has been one of their overarching passions since the beginning, their musical paths have deeply explored several trajectories over the years including various forms of progressive, rave, and the early downbeat/trip-hop sound. All these influences are present on the label’s forthcoming catalogue.

The label’s debut release is a two tracker.

‘Sunrise Selection’ is an uplifting jungle come atmospheric broken-techno club track. It runs at a temperature of 130bpm and at the drop is likely a bit of a club banger. ‘Little Peas’ takes the Fracture-esque, 160, 4/4 movement just a little further than where it left off a couple of years ago with progressive atmospherics and off-kilter syncopation.

We’ve found it difficult to explain what is going on with this release - but hoping for vivid explanations from our listeners!

We hope you enjoy SAS001.

Ambient composer Sun Rain will be sharing his latest single ‘Fog Dance’ on the 19th of August, taken from the upcoming compilation Cosmic Vibrations Vol.3 via Deep Heads and compiled by Zeb Samuels. Having been one half of the electronic duo Snowday, the artist received support from noteworthy publications Exclaim!, Northern Transmissions, Decoded Magazine, and Dusty Organ, while under the alias Sun Rain he has been backed by the likes of Stereofox, Son Of Marketing, and Nagamag, and reached over 1,7 million streams on Spotify. In addition, his music has repeatedly been featured on the YouTube channel Ambient (523k subs).

Chad Skinner is a Toronto-born and based DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who played an active role in the music scene prior to the release of his debut album, Sheets, under his solo alias Sun Rain, which he launched in 2019 to fuse together his versatile compositional concepts. Chad comprised one half of the electronic duo Snowday and devotes his skillset to the producer collective BisonBison. Having worked alongside the likes of Alaskan Tapes, Pick a Piper and The Field Tapes (Kyle McEvoy), his sound is comparable to Rival Consoles, Nils Frahm, and Ólafur Arnalds.

The music presented pulsates cosmic vibrations, and ethereal energy and takes us on a journey to somewhere far away from planet earth. A true studio wizard, Sun Rain displays a multitude of talents within this recording. Lots of vintage tape machines, synths, and Saxophone all mold together to create something truly unique. The saxophone is played by Joseph Shabason, with Chad performing his compositions on synths, along with complex textures that shimmer in the background.

Speaking on his single, Sun Rain tells listeners: "For this piece I wanted to create something with a repetitive element that seems to grow and morph with the sounds around it. Gently inspired by Steve Reich my aim was to balance dark and murky with light and bubbly. The addition of the sax from Joseph Shabason really helped bring the track to life."

Sun Rain 'Fog Dance'

Продолжаем открывать грани баса, пропитанного дабом, в рамках серии миксов «Хроники Риддима». Сегодня за пультом JIPIE (читается Джипи) @jipie-aka-shitonshoes.  

Свой музыкальный путь Андрей начал с хип-хопа в начале 90-х в "черноморской Сицилии" - Новороссийске. Со временем он увлёкся ломаной электроникой – jungle, breakbeat, breaks, big beat, trip hop. В юношеском возрасте JIPIE засел за Fruity Loops (программа для написания музыки) и с тех пор понеслось. Среди тех, кто читал под его биты, Рем Дигга, Эйсик, Скато, UMR CRU и Алкоголь После Спорта. Помимо продакшена JIPIE отметился яркими куплетами в совместных треках с Рем Диггой, Эйсиком и UMR CRU. После периода создания хип-хопа на сэмплах Андрей полностью переключился на синтезирование собственных звуков, стал экспериментировать с голосом и подачей, выйдя за границы жанра. Теперь это не только рифмы, но и оригинальная, эмоционально насыщенная игра голосом на распев. Так в его в творчестве появилась новая глава, которую он пишет прямо сейчас. Последние годы JIPIE совместно с геленджикским тяжеловесом @thekercha работают над проектом ВРСПЛ (В Рэпе С Пяти Лет), где органично переплетаются электроника всех мастей, хип-хоп и уличный блюз. В этом году на Dub Raw выйдет альбом ВРСПЛ. 

Для «Хроники Риддима» JIPIE приготовил dub techno микс. Медитативный, местами меланхоличный и бездонный как ночное небо. Автор раскрывает жанр с разных сторон: от корневой дабовой к более ритмичной техновой, рассыпаясь в пути через эхо и реверберацию на отдельные психоакустические звуки. Этот микс для погружений, поиска себя и смыслов. Музыкальная психоделика от даба и техно высшей пробы.

I wrote this originally for a remix but ended up taking out the vocal and doing something else for that particular project. I always liked this though, I pictured it being the soundtrack to me driving around the Italian rivera in a Ferrari Dino with Monica Vitti in the 60s. :)

Expanding the boundaries of Processed‘s sound „Off The Beaten Track EP“ is a true triple excursion on the 140 bpm path. L-OW approaches his deep bass essence with crystal clear techno from three different angles and keeps the EP subtle layered. Trippy and rolling „Inspect“, followed by a groundbreaker „Pain Of The Sting“ and dubbed-out „Theme 1“ is an advanced variety for those lovers of digital soul. Next right turn.
