@edit-select | Cyclical Undulations
[SOMALP118] 

Long-term Soma collaborator Tony Scott drops his debut album with the label under his Edit Select alias, the perfectly crafted experience, ‘Cyclical Undulations’. Having released with Soma under his Percy X moniker for years and having countless hits under his belt, Scott reinvented himself as Edit Select. Known for his dark, expressive and expansive music, Edit Select has become once of the most well respected and renowned artists in the genre. With this latest full length, he continues to explore the furthest reaches of the  Deep Techno spectrum. 

The Cyclical Undulations journey begins with Insta Grain, a mesmeric odyssey of ebbing pads and sparse percussive elements that seem to drift of into the expanse. A perfect opener before the first foray into more 4x4 territory begins with Above Ground a pulsating affair before Two Step Phase, a more stripped back affair, reminiscent of earlier Percy X works in it’s 90s heyday. Undulation, more propulsive in it’s approach, melds warping synth hooks alongside spectral tones. Horizon#1 follows in a similar vein yet drift into slightly more hypnotic territory as recurrent tones lead the track. Scott flourishes with yet more machine-throb crafting Close Up & In The Beginning She Was, both stacked with subtle nuances of his stylised percussion lost across dream like states. The later half of the album has a distinct minimalistic approach yet seem to provide maximal output with every beat. Horizon#2 is dark and ominous yet still characterised by a tough percussive element. Contact, produced in collaboration with Claudio PRC, delves into more submerged sounds with heavy sub bass and echoed drums, finishing of with Towards The E; a shuffling broken beat affair with after hours vibes and an endearing ethereal quality. 

Cyclical Undulations demonstrates a mature sense of production from Edit Select. An assured collection of material, each track providing a striking insight into a true artistic mind.

The creation of Rizzoknor‘s track ERIN is worth a little story. 
As a sound engineer, Daniel Rizzo meets loads of gifted musicians year after year. On this particular night, he met the Berlin-based singer Erin Lang. 

Still amazed by the performance of this exceptional artist, he dives back in his memories listening to the recordings of Erin‘s concert. That‘s where the guitar lick on Erin‘s Track „Carried away“ caught his attention. Building upon this hypnotic guitar melody, he will create a new composition. 

That‘s how Rizzoknor‘s track Erin, a kind of remix in some way, was created. This process will be repeated in the „Erin Remixed„ series. For Vol.1 we invited three artists to remix Rizzoknor‘s track: Kalabrese from Zürich, Digitaline from Barcelona and Organ Mug from Lausanne.

MR BA version Aux 1

Release Date: 21 August 2019 

From the depths of Leverkusen's chemical compounds emerges Thomas Bodenständig, 53-year old German body music fanatic who had all but given up on releasing his industrial-fused beats on a major label. Luckily for him, an emissary from the Brainwaves crew discovered one of his tapes tucked into some hi-visibility Lycra shorts in a second-hand store in Düsseldorf last winter. Given the latest trends in dance music the crew immediately decided that there was money to be made from this Ruhrpot degenerate, and so the Brainwaves crew is proud to present "Is This EBM?", Thomas Bodenständig's rough but self-reflective attempt at replicating his favourite EBM bands. The fourth track, a lot more recent than the other three, is an ode to one of the saddest tales in the modern music industry, and a reminder to Thomas why he rejects stardom and remains down to earth.

Neural Oscillations #1: https://soundcloud.com/gboi_jeanmi

For the first edition of the Neural Oscillations podcasts we invited our lyonnais neighbours Gboi & Jean Mi, the duo behind https://soundcloud.com/comicsansrec and https://soundcloud.com/silurealbinosfishingclub. They have been consistently releasing high quality music in a wide range of genres on their many record labels, and their DJ sets are similarly eclectic. This mix shows a particular love for a UK sound, rave breaks and low frequency oscillations, just how we like it.
