“The debut LP from duo Sunflower Aquarium offers a full spectrum bloom into the electronic ecosystem. Dylan Batelic (Paper-Cuts) and Thomas Martin (Furious Frank) fuse together for a 7 track collection of low-slung immersive deepness, embodying a cycle of life via the ebbs and flows of sonic seasonal evolution. A collaboration of cyber synthesis; written simultaneously Melbourne through Adelaide during late 2021, the result a refined yet spontaneous take on dubbed downtempo through to driving dance deviance.”

A multi-system conglomerate servicing planets within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, TerraFirm provides the desiccated, toxified, irradiated or otherwise uninhabitable planets of this sector with a suite of services to rectify any environmental challenge.  From geoformation to carbon extraction, desalination to biome rehabilitation, TerraFirm has a full range of services to return your planet to its naturally thriving, pre-apocalypse state.  

Few moons harbor life and fewer birth it.  However, lunar cycles and gravity exert immense influence on biology.  Moonlight allows for the existence of nocturnal life.  Lunar gravity creates tides that oxygenate oceans, creating conditions for aquatic life.  The same force also reduces the planet’s axial tilt, stabilizing climate across seasons.    Lunar cycles divide the solar cycle into discrete and perceptible increments. Evolving with lunar cycles, life becomes acutely aware of and synchronizes itself to the passage of time.  The abstract concept of Time, as understood by sentient beings, originates in the lunar cycle.  Knowledge of Time takes a species out of subjection to nature and provides the first means for impactful action.  In the event of prior lunar destruction, TerraFirm will install a precisely calibrated moon, facilitating the rapid complexification of life and intelligence on your planet.

Your mind and body, with each passing beat

Pletnev - And You Never Come Back EP - RMECR001

The alarm clock buzzed loudly for the fifth time, as usual the snooze button had been exhausted for as long as she could get away with it. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, squinting in the morning light that bathed her room. A familiar feeling of dread washed over her; one that didn’t seem to hit her on any other day of the week. The start of the week was always like this - uneventful and unproductive, a time for wallowing and indulging… all in all, just another average Monday.

Helsinki imprint Echocentric and Leipzig’s R.A.N.D. are joining forces for their next release, a dose of rhythmic proggy goodness from Lithuania-based producer Pletnev. Both labels know their onions - between them they’ve put out plenty of dance floor gems over the last few years from the likes of Abdul Raeva, DJ Life, Reflex Blue and Gnork. With And You Never Come Back, it’s more of the same: over four tracks Pletnev serves up squelchy, hypnotic breaks and trance-inspired rhythms, all primed and ready to bless club sound systems the world over.

Man Power's (Geoff Kirkwood) first vinyl release of 2023 comes courtesy of Helsinki's Echocentric Records. Kirkwood is just as comfortable writing and presenting experimental symphonies, ambient hauntology, and audio-visual orchestral performances as Bed Wetter or delivering raucous kinetic techno as MPX. For everything in between, he is Man Power

Man Power - Space Walk EP - ECR014

Rafiki (Krunk, Krunk Kulture) is a true pioneer of electronic music in India and a major player in bringing acclaimed events to India. His debut solo EP, The Source is released on Welt Discos on 9th March, with the single, A London Sound, released to announce the EP on 9th February.

The Source EP showcases Rafiki’s musical philosophy perfectly. On this EP, he throws three decades of UK rave culture genres into the melting pot (hardcore, house, breaks, garage and bass), adds his own Indian heritage, and gives it a healthy stir. The results are conclusive: Original yet classic, familiar yet fresh. Each of the four tracks on The Source EP manage to find this sweet spot.

A London Sound, (released 9th February) kicks things off strongly. House, breaks and a wild synth are rolled together to create an out-and-out club banger, as shown by the incredible reception when played on the Daytimers Boiler Room takeover. Think acid strobes and bass stacks, entwined with the smell of smoke machines, enticing you to an East London basement where it’s all about the sound, the lights, and the bodies twisting around you in the darkness.

It’s been exactly one year since we interviewed Man Power for our MixedBy series. Since then, The Me Me Me founder has launched himself back into the world, returning to some form of normalcy post-COVID. The British maestro is back to throwing regular gigs in his home base of Newcastle and is touring once again, bringing his world-renowned DJ sets back to the masses.

To mark his welcomed return, Man Power has partnered with Finnish imprint Echocentric Records to release his first vinyl record of the year! Titled “Space Walk,” this EP contains a total of 3-tracks and sees Man Power in his element dishing out his signature sounds that have been labeled as ‘intergalactic house.’ However, in his latest rendition, the beats have more of a tribal feeling – resembling something closer to home than some of his extraterrestrial belters.

Case and point, we are premiering the A2 from the record titled “What a Puny Plan.” Like most dance tracks of this variety, I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on the track's name, but instead, concentrate on its melodies. The song grabs your attention immediately with its gyrating bassline and almost ancestral-sounding percussion. This gives the listener the feeling as if an ancient ritual is about to take place and that Man Power is the shaman leading the procession. Man Power then continues to layer in waves of ethereal synths over menacing horns that give the tune some much-needed gravity – compelling the dancefloor to come together and groove as one. “What a Puny Plan” might be the closest thing you’ll come to having a religious experience at the club and we’re ready to repent for our sins!

Space Walk EP (ECR014)

PREMIERE: Man Power - What A Puny Plan

'Lithuanian producer Pletnev might have some occasional fun under the various aliases of Ponty Mython and Moisk, but he here returns to his most central alias on 'When The Job Is Done', his latest EP.

Four bits of 90s-inspired ambient acid house, techno and breakbeat all collide into a wispy and cinematic foray through aetherial post-aquatic electronics. 

Wetness ('Water Can Keep Secrets Too') and dryness (the B tunes) both occupy the wax in equal, complementary measure.

All danceable, of course.

Dare we say, they're synthetic enough to evoke thoughts of what might happen if Laurie Andserson and Vangelis took eccies together.'

- About Safar Collective

Safar Collective - a multidisciplinary art community, est. 2021 - was formed on the idea of exploration through experimentation. Our shared love for leftfield and esoteric guided us through 3 closed group experiments in the past that culminated in our prior compilations.

With the release of this VA, we are transitioning into a left-field label with the vision of building an ecosystem that nurtures leftfield artists and showcases unconventional art.

- Perceptions I

'Perceptions I' journeys across different realms from drum and bass to broken beats through glitch-hop while continually inhabiting a progressive space that breathes novelty and inventiveness. Each composition feels alive, supple, and evolving.

We invite the listeners for a deep dive into the VA to unravel the ineffable and experience the raw emotions firsthand.

- Safar and friends

Alongside artists from within Safar, 'Perceptions I' includes notable artists from the Indian underground, from the likes of I7HVN, Watashi, Rafiki, Audio Units, Flux Vortex, and Shantam. We hope to carve our sweet niche with them in the Indian underground.
