@magnapia a.k.a seasoned producer, DJ, and composer Hüseyin Evirgen, announces his second full-length album, ‘QUT’, arriving on Inland’s Counterchange label in March on double vinyl.

After 2 steamrolling EPs of club tracks on the label - now entering its tenth year of action - Magna Pia presents his most complete and advanced body of work to date, weaving a dense narrative of drone, figurative synthesis, bass-heavy electronica, and abstract techno.

Over eight tracks each referencing his rich cultural and musical background, we are treated to a unique overview of a producer at the crest of his art. The word ‘Qut’ is an ancient positive affirmation, in one short word encompassing all that is sacred, pure and good. The Old Turkic term meaning not only ‘good fortune’ and ‘joy’, but in shamanic circles, the ‘wonder of the heavens’, permeates the roots of Evirgen’s multi-heritage history.

That Evirgen expresses his interpretation of this central theme through the marriage of bewitching melodies with atonal, experimental and rumbling electronics is a conscious comment on the distortions and mutations of our Modern Era. We now exist in the digital age of the Technosphere for better or worse, and must seek beauty wherever possible.

The opening ‘Prologue’ invites the listener into a futuristic yet organic sound world, where lush stereo processing goes hand in hand with rumbling bass and subtly detuned drone languages. From the echoes of traditional Uyghur folk music, translated via synthesizers into a glistening slow-diving opus (‘Qizil’), to churning dub-techno adorned with a symphony of evolving sine-waves (‘Venus M’), Evirgen then deploys ‘X’ - a haunting experimental piece composed predominantly with his voice and electronic processing.

The interweaving synth lines of ‘Gudanna’ pierce the fog with a radiant and transcendent club-techno bounce before the ode to the ancient Bronze Age goddess ‘Astarte’ unfolds its snare-driven broken-beat formations. The title track ‘Qut’ embodies by far the heaviest club track of the album, in a deadly, stripped-back moment of future-techno hypnotism. Dancing flames of purple-tongued synthesis are held (just) in line by a wonderfully tough throb of drums.

With his ‘Epilogue’, Magna Pia allows the spectral ideas and concepts laid out across the LP to connect and travel full circle, confirming our suspicions that this could be one of the most coherent and exciting works to emerge in the brave new field of introspective, and sensitive techno-electronic language.

Deno and Moritz Werner alias Demo72 are two young residents from Different Spaces (LEHMANN Club Stuttgart). 
The two DJ‘s and producers found their passion for experimental ambient sounds. People would characterize their music as a deep combination of long hypnotic moods and massive clean sounds wich fill the whole room almost like a melancholic storytelling.

Lover of deep and immersive sounds, in his sets he transmits an hypnotic journey under a sea of textures where above all, the dynamism predominates and the atmospheres make the listener enter into different acoustic structures.

Yax Invites #175 - Lukas Klötz

"Cries From Inside" de Darkduction es un EP que lleva a los oyentes a un viaje sensorial a través de paisajes sonoros evocadores y texturas intensas. Este EP está compuesto por cuatro pistas, cada una de las cuales presenta un enfoque único para explorar el sonido y la atmósfera, creando una experiencia inmersiva para quienes se sumergen en sus capas auditivas.

“Longevity”, un tema que intensifica la experiencia con ritmos contundentes y texturas complejas. A pesar de su presencia más agresiva, el track mantiene un estado de ánimo propicio para sumergirse en sonidos más profundos. Esta composición es una muestra de la maestría de Darkduction a la hora de combinar elementos contrastantes para crear una pieza única y envolvente.

IN OUR CHAPTER II WE ARE GOING TO
PRESENT U THE APPROACH OF CONNECTING
YOUNG AMBITIOUS MUSICAL ARTISTS
WITH VISUAL ARTISTS.
WE ARE TRYING TO USE OUR PLATFORM
TO OVERLAP COMMUNITIES AND PRODUCE A
COMPOSITION WHICH U MIGHT CAN RELATE
TO.


FOR OUR 11TH COMPOSITION WE INVITE

MARA.
„My name is mara, I’m 23 and currently studying visual communication at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee Berlin. What interests me most in creative work, is how memories and associations can be visualized. I try to capture moods, question them and pass them on so that viewers can rediscover their own stories and perspectives…or discover new ones.“

DOM.KOSKI.
„Berlin based DJ and producer dom.koski has always enjoyed a wide variety of sounds, including genres like Techno, House, Tribal, Dub, Breakbeat, Minimal, DnB (Jungle) and Experimental. In his DJ sets, he seamlessly threads these genres into unpredictable sonic atmospheres, focusing on story-telling while directing the ebbs and flows of tension and release. His characteristic use of driving percussions, groovy bass lines and rotund kicks, accompanied by a contrasting combination of both organic and industrial elements, results in a captivating auditory experience.“
