Transient Nature is a label dedicated to the world of machine funk with a sonic aesthetic of off-kilter techno and electro, and the first release sees Dukwa deliver an EP as varied as it is powerful. Transient Nature has a busy 2021 planned with releases from Detroit's Scan7, Black Cadmium and Maarten's solo project: Wanderist. The 'Think Potential' EP is deeply rooted in gritty electronics and illustrates the producer's love for hardware and vintage techniques - three of the tracks are hardware jams recorded straight to tape.
The driving Rhodes licks and fluttering percussion on 'Who Cares' gets the EP rolling before the distorted electronica and stabbing 303s fuse harmoniously on 'High Position'. Up next, 'It's U' delivers an old-school tinged electro number with its slamming drums, robotic vocals and squeaking acid lines. The EP closer, 'Eye2eye' sees Dukwa moving deeper into the electronica territory with industrial drums and dreamy piano lines working together with mesmerising effect.  With recent output ranging from Detroit house inspired MPC-driven tracks to more conceptual electronic work, Dukwa's soulful yet dynamic releases for the likes of Numbers, Don't Be Afraid and his eponymous imprint have won a wide range of support as well as picking up a coveted 'Hottest Record in The World' from the BBC's Annie Mac.

Everything is in vain if you don't put a purpose in your journey. "In Vain" brings in its slow bpm the transition and reflection of a historical moment we are going through. With its melancholic melody and drums with organic elements, we are sure that a better day will come in its arrangement.

Virtual Reality  - Galaxy Zoo
BUY LINK: https://virtualrealityworld.bandcamp.com/releases

Mysterious producer Virtual Reality is self-releasing two LPs: the 
'Galaxi Zoo' & 'Hidden Galaxi' volumes. The two albums are part of 
the same body of work and are the products of months spent in the 
studio, mostly during the tough lockdown imposed on Italy in the 
Spring of 2020.
Virtual Reality split albums mix a variety of influences going from 
Aphex Twin and Squarepusher to Detroit and Early Berlin Techno 
scenes, from Drexcyia to Burial. Each track is carefully crafted in the
studio with the use of analogue machines and recorded natural 
sounds to keep a fantastic Industrial feel to it. This heterogeneous 
mixture of genres, sounds, art forms is the perfect exemplification 
of the infinite variety of elements that compose galaxies - the theme
behind Virtual Reality's latest body of work.
The project is also full of personal and intimate moments and is a 
truly heartfelt piece of music, also due to the fact it's dedicated to 
someone close to the artist who unfortunately is not with us 
anymore.
Be ready to travel sonically with Virtual Reality's LPs 'Galaxi Zoo' & 
'Hidden Galaxi' - out both in physical and digital format in January 
2021 and March 2021

PREMIERE : Virtual Reality - Brevitla

Freeride Millenium label co-founder Jorkes quickly follows up his well received Wet Dream EP with a new five tracker including remixes from Younger Than Me and Curses.

Jorkes is the driving force behind the ever-excellent Freeride Millenium label, he hosts a residency at radio 80000 alongside ParisBöhm and has been busy producing and streaming over the last year, despite the pandemic. His recent ‘Wet Dreams’ release was a critical success, with BBC radio support, a raft of press coverage and a mass of DJ support, now he follows that up with this latest inventive and rugged EP of club sounds.

Opener 'All Your Juices' has snappy snares and a taught, tight groove that makes for a mechanical rhythm. It eventually grows looser with big synth sounds and vamping chords that layer in fluidly and a great sense of electronic funk. Remixers Younger Than Me are a Berlin based duo that represents a link between the old and the new. They have released on the likes of Tusk Wax and here flip the original into a dark and pulsing tune with hammering drums and edgy, trance influenced synths.

In original form, 'Dancer in the Dark' has a kinetic drum and hit combination that makes you immediately jerk your body. As the synth energy grows, celestial chords bring light and cosmic rays and take you off into the future. Dark disco don Curses then steps up with another brilliantly rugged and raw remix that layers sleazy synths into angular drums. Finally, the brilliant 'Afraid of Letting You Go' has an eerie and mysterious vibe with crashing hits and unsettling synths that make for a dystopian abandoned warehouse feel.

Once again here Jorkes has cooked up left of centre sounds that draw on synth, disco and techno in bold new ways. Artwork as always comes from the ever creative Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Dancer in the Dark

PREMIERE : Jorkes - Afraid Of Letting You Go

Following up to Rob Belleville’s inaugural delivery, Fluid Electronics returns in 2021 with a new collaborative EP courtesy of Dutch veteran Jarno, the man behind Trouw's infamous Below evenings, and Fluid Electronics’ co-founder and owner Shirazi, back in full swing after a ten-year break from production. The EP features remixes from Amsterdam’s Love Over Entropy and seminal Rotterdam-based duo, Duplex. 

The A-side finds Shirazi and Jarno dishing out a vaporous dub with the focus track, “Late Night Thoughts”. Engineering a mix of reverb-drenched atmospheric techno laced with hedonistic house accents and mystique-imbued melodies on a dreamy tip. Upping the tempo and overall vibe of the track, Love Over Entropy’s remix propels its listener in a blazing corridor of synth arpeggios and luminous chords.

The flip side sees Shirazi go solo on the ethereal “Continue Learning”, all in evocative spaciousness and textural finesse, as it merges the immersive depth of Basic Channel-esque envelopes with further straightforward floor dynamics. Clone-affiliated duo Duplex provides a tighter, jacking match to the original’s vaster headspace, tweaking it into a proper clinical club-ready weapon.

This World

Previously during the first national lockdown Third Son wrote, mixed and mastered his debut album in 20 days. Watch a short Stamp The Wax documentary on the work here. Following on from this remarkable achievement, Joseph has been going back to his early music collections that informed and inspired his work over many years, making his own re-imagined interpretations of them to form a new body of work called Retrograde.
Released in June, the covers span a broad church, from electronic, to rock, to minimal piano and ambient. The LP will be accompanied by a short run of tapes, the medium mostly used by the artist in formative years. The album was produced from his home studio in London.
“Over the last year I’ve been listening to key music from artists I’ve always gone back to over the years. The songs and pieces that still grab me after 100 listens. I slowly made my own interpretations, which kept me occupied during the drudgery of lockdown. We all need a project. I ended up with something for all settings, the sitting on the floor in the lounge listen, the kitchen disco listen and even an optimistic club listen.” Third Son Over his short but intensely packed musical history Third Son has been meticulously honing his craft and sound and has received accolades and spins from a huge cross section of the industry to include Maya Jane Coles, Michael Mayer, Anja Schneider, Jackmaster, Jasper James, Kolsch, Dark Sky, Terr, Lena Willikens, Moscoman, DJ Boring, Sasha and many more. As well as this he has seen praise from household publications such as DJ Mag, Mixmag, Beatport, Future Music among others. Following releases on Dusky's 17 Steps and Matthew Herbert's Accidental Jnr, 2021 is a bumper year with the artist releasing on Shall Not Fade, Unknown To the Unknown sub label Soft Computing, Disco Halal and Permanent Vacation. This plethora of names is testament to Joseph's ability to continually stay ahead of the curve and keep the listener guessing.

Third Son - Retrograde LP (Polymath)

PREMIERE : Third Son - Some Polyphony

It pays to be vulnerable, they say it all the time. They say it enough to be true. Nonetheless, the old world remains, and one should pick their moments. Vulnerability is a two-way street, and there are often roadworks, the smell of tar and the ear-splitting assault of drills, sensory tedium outside the dry cleaners, opposite the school and adjacent to the train station. They say there’s ample free parking, but when you get there, there’s only so much space to take.

Berlin-based label Hot Concept continues an unpredictable journey with a new artist introducing themselves to the roster, loket. First emerging via their own cult mix for the Deep Mind Music series, their debut full release, out digitally now and on limited-edition tape soon, taps three original productions that blend live saxophone modulation with influences within the ambient, trance and hardcore continuum.

Accompanying this hugely original trio are two remixes from London’s Jay Duncan, each taking on a radically different tempo. While the ‘Spirit of Sabre’ version zones in on psychedelic chug, the ‘Infinity Mix’ premiering here today ramps up the energy but loses none of the detail.

PREMIERE: loket - Left Hand feat. Steph Lee (Jay Duncan 'Infinity' Mix) [Hot Concept]

Creator of one of the first French electronic webradio show back in 2005, intimate parties organizer back then, now acting as a music columnist at StarWax magazine, he’s been evolving as a dj from free parties’ hardcore in 2000 to electro and slow techno more recently. Some whisper he likes gardening as much as djing. He’s Le Pépiniériste.

Tireless sound digger, eclectic selector with punk-rock, post-punk, funk and new wave influences, he’s been delivering wicked electro, nu disco or trancy sets on French Slow is the New Fast or Lithuanian Electric Shapes podcasts since 2014. He likes to kick asses. He’s Horseshit.

Both crave for exploring sound, experimenting, creating surprise, blending musical styles, switching from heavy guitar riffs to hypnotic infrabass, from contemplation to dance.

They virtually met in 2020 thanks to Slow is the New Fast podcast and enjoyed so much each other selections that they decided to join forces for a 2 hour bewitching back to back dj set.

Second in our Break 3000 revisited classics series are three songs from the period 2001-2002. The opener "Sacrifice" was featured on the great DJ-Kicks compilation by Tiga in 2002, a real breakthrough year for Electro Clash! The second track here is from the same period but was never released, we carefully recovered it from the DAT tapes for you. The finale is "Spacemaschinenreise", this one was on the first vinyl release on the Maastricht label Meuse Muzique and rounds of this second archive edition in a fine and spacey way. 

All tracks have been carefully recovered from the vaults and remastered at Salz Mastering in Cologne.
