[SMPH001] NairLess - Balearic Dreams EP (Incl. Fio Fa & Lisene Remixes)

Tekka es el alias de Ángela Padierna, amante del vinilo desde que se topó con la historia de la electrónica americana, con la que conecto rápidamente por su temprana actividad en la música como rapper. 
Surge de la escena underground de León, una ciudad pequeña del norte de España, en la que se está solidificando una escena que llevaba muchos años de letargo y de la que sin duda forma parte como promotora , dj y rapper.
Sus comienzos fueron en espacios clandestinos, raves y afters. Más adelante encontró su sitio en el Musac (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo) y en el Cubo, pilar indiscutible de la escena leonesa y foco cultural donde todo comenzó a tener un sentido comunitario y cultural.
Desde Junio de 2023 está implicada como promotora y residente en el proyecto Solid Velvet. Club con historia que ofrece visibilidad a sellos y artistas de la ciudad y que ademas pretende acercar la escena nacional a León. 
Sus sesiones a vinilo se adaptan a la pista de baile, demuestra skills, agilidad y elegancia y sus mezclas son largas y buscan la armonía. El sonido de TEKKA es claro. Electro en todo su amplio abanico de colores y formas - clásico o actual, rápido o lento- mezclado con techno, IDM, ghetto, breaks, acid o industrial.

ENGY TEKKA / Mars Frequency Mix Series

Ukrainian Field Notes VA is a fundraising compilation with a difference, music with a backstory that gives a first-hand account of the unfolding events since the full-scale Russian invasion in real time, and presents an overview of the changing face of the Ukrainian music scene dictated by blackouts and curfew restrictions.

What started off as an ongoing series of interviews with Ukrainian artists for the experimental music website A Closer Listen has now become a book comprising all 170 interviews conducted over the course of a year mapping out the electronic and experimental scene in Ukraine.

All musicians involved were asked to submit a track composed after February 24, 2022 to mark its publication. The resulting material reflects the diaristic nature of the book and deals with PTSD, displacement, separation, and loss, and shows at the same time the strength and resilience of Ukrainian artists with a meditative and uplifting reach.

The track listing follows the chronological order of the interviews, switching from ambient and electronic to classical and experimental in a seemingly random fashion, but war is chaotic and shattering, or as Serhii Zhadan writes in Sky Above Kharkiv, “War sharply changes ways of seeing, changes feelings.” Ukrainian Field Notes is a testament to the shifting sonic and human landscape.
*
Ukrainian Field Notes VA - це благодійна фандрайзінгова компіляція, що відрізняється від інших, музика з передісторією, яка розповідає з перших вуст про події, що розгортаються з моменту повномасштабного російського вторгнення в режимі реального часу, і представляє огляд зміни обличчя української музичної сцени, продиктованої відключенням електроенергії та обмеженнями комендантської години.

Те, що починалося як серія інтерв'ю з українськими музикантами для сайту експериментальної музики A Closer Listen, тепер перетворилося на книгу, що містить усі 170 інтерв'ю, взятих протягом року, які окреслюють електронну та експериментальну сцену в Україні.

Щоб відзначити її публікацію, всім музикантам, які брали участь в інтерв'ю, було запропоновано надіслати трек, написаний після 24 лютого 2022 року. Отриманий матеріал відображає щоденниковий характер книги і стосується ПТСР, переміщення, розлуки та втрати, а також демонструє силу та стійкість українських митців з медитативним та піднесеним звучанням.

Трек-лист відповідає хронологічному порядку інтерв'ю, переходячи від ембієнту та електроніки до класики та експериментальної музики у, здавалося б, випадковий спосіб, але війна є хаотичною та руйнівною, або, як пише Сергій Жадан у "Небі над Харковом", "війна різко змінює способи бачення, змінює почуття". "Ukrainian Field Notes VA" - це свідчення мінливого звукового та людського ландшафту.

TIGERCAST stands as an engaging monthly podcast series, streaming on Fade Radio.
Its primary mission is to provide a platform for a wide-ranging spectrum of artists, each contributing to the elaborate and diverse landscape that defines the immersive realm of Electro.

5th TIGERCAST episode with EKATA

EKATA is a London based DJ/Producer + Natural Selection Resident who's productions are characterised by their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, driven by pulsating rhythms and intricate synth work.

Determined to create music that is unearthly, idiosyncratic, emotional and exuding futurism of that of a sci-fi film, she always ensures a story is to be told in each track she produces.
She mainly sticks to the dark and eerie side of Electro/Techno in her productions & gigs, where she will take you on a dark and twisted journey through incredibly dystopian, ominous grooves and obvious sci-fi fixations which embody her carefully picked selections. 

With her first release 'VIRYA' coming out on Avoidant at the end of 2022, She has had an unstoppable start to her production journey, already releasing on some of the best Electro labels out there;  Burial Soil, CHP Recordings, Cybersoul,  Furatena, Mars Frequency Records, Native Boundaries, Urban Connections and most notably her first solo release on Censor records in Jan 2024.

There's a lot more to be expected from EKATA this year, with releases scheduled on several labels and also her first tour outside of Europe planned for spring/summer this year.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Titta's Bio : Titta's journey into music began in the '90s with hardcore and shoegaze, swiftly transitioning to electronic music. Co-founding General Elektrik, he ventured into radio and events, notably The Plug in Turin, pioneering electro/techno nights. He founded ToniMusic in 2000 and later joined forces with Hugo for COMADISCO. In 2016, he co-organized Bunker Techno Night and MUSICAUTOMATICA. In 2018, he formed DRANG with M. Borgna, exploring modular synths and IDM Ambient sounds, performing for OGR Soundsystem. In recent years, he has focused on his eclectic live performances with his modular system, ranging from acid techno, electro, IDM, to downtempo, making him a regular at "La Notte" electronic night at the Bunker in Turin. In 2023, he paused his live performances to focus on studio productions, both with his solo project and the parallel project Talpanera with Emiliano Comollo. This led to the release of "Things Found Outside" on the Turin label Humanoid Gods.

Maelstrom returns to Central Processing Unit for the fourth time, and it's the one born Joan-Mael Péneau's lengthiest drop on the Sheffield label yet. The French artist has been a mainstay in the European electro game since the 2000s, and Malestrom brings that experience to bear on new LP The FM Tapes. He goes about this album with the assurance of a seasoned pro, combining his mastery of electro production techniques with a trademark guile to craft an expertly-paced eleven-track affair.

The first section of The FM Tapes sets out the album's stall with style and aplomb - listeners are in store for a rich feast of off-kilter machine-funk which will feature no shortage of intriguing detours. On opener 'Ondes Courtes' the mix throbs with all manner of strange electronic gristle: a distorted bass hum rattles the monitors; wisps of distortion float across the mix; eerily pretty keys wax and wane before giving way to a radar pulse.

'Ondes Courtes' is an ominous slouch of a scene-setter, and it lines things up perfectly for following cut 'Alt50ser' to lock in. This track's churning, gurgling mid-tempo rattle brings to mind the wacky insistence of Modeselektor. Maelstrom repeats the slow-fast one-two again directly afterwards - 'La Vie Sociale Des', a strange nugget that sounds like an early Eski instrumental stripped for parts and blasted into the cosmos, is an ideal prelude to the twitchy space-funk of 'My Digitone'.

Maelstrom's staying power in the electro world comes, in no small part, from his ability to apply his delightfully idiosyncratic choices to some of the genre's staple production tropes. On The FM Tapes, he marks himself out once more as a pleasingly unorthodox talent by taking tracks in unexpected directions to produce surprising - and often rather moving - results.

There are multiple cuts here which channel the more cerebral end of Richard D. James' AFX/Analord output: 'My Digitone' may be a quicksilver techno-electro number, but there's still something cinematic about the synth treatment here which softens the edges; 'Suede's minor-key oscillations bring other CPU veterans like Cygnus and Bochum Welt into view; 'Res 06', one of two Fasme collaborations on the record, is full of pathos even as the beat programming bangs and whirrs throughout.

While there's a deep emotional undercurrent to The FM Tapes, though, Maelstrom's commitment to bringing the thrills surfaces time and again. If 'Res 06' had Maelstrom and Fasme getting wistful, the album's other Fasme link-up 'Trempo' is one of the hardest club joints here, a piece of old-school Detroit energy replete with some great cascading drum production. Indeed, 'Trempo' comes in the middle of a run towards the album's end where Maelstrom takes the handbrake off - there's a wild-eyed sense of fun to 'The Operator' and 'Upside Down DX7' which has one thinking of the zany cut-and-thrust of KiNK's best work.

Maelstrom's latest drop for Sheffield's Central Processing Unit label is an album of leftfield electro numbers that bring both pounding beats and poignant production.

The FM Tapes

Maelstrom - The FM Tapes

Terrestrial Access Network began releasing music as recently as 2019 with tracks picked up for compilations on Swiss label Dionysian Mysteries, LDI Records, and Control Data Institute. With a sound that is expert at creating powerfully immersive heads down moments for the dancefloor TAN has driven this sound with an ever present and intoxicating mechanical funk.

Which artists has influenced you the most?
-I would say the artists have influenced me the most would be Plant 43, Cignol, Widespread Panic, and Tool!

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?
- My friend and I are starting a new label called "Optical Illusions" that will be both vinyl and digital. I have a release I am excited about coming out on Noise to Meet You's 10th vinyl release soon.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?
- I would say the most "modern" or "relevant" artist to me right now would me Jonny Southard. He writes piano pieces, not electronic. His style resonates with me because it is very melancholic.

What inspires you now to create music?
- Music has always been a way for me to vent. I can put a feeling into a box and let it sit there.

What set-up do you use when creating music?
- A lot of people may not know this, but I actually only do one recording, or one "take", for my songs. I use an Elektron Analog Four, Elektron Analog Rytm, Novation Peak, Arturia Keystep, and Tascam 12.
