Loose and borderless explorations of sounds in the ambient, post-punk, and techno adjacent worlds but mostly, music that I am feeling here/now and/or that I have been feeling for a long time.

Hessle Audio with Ben UFO feat. Toumba & Stefan Goldmann - 05 December 2022

In launching Fifth Wall Records over a year ago in their Brooklyn garage, label cofounders Divvorce and Hound Scales took a decidedly international approach, signing only a handful of American artists. However, while they still choose not to define the label by lines in the sand, it has become impossible to ignore the genius lurking in their own backyard.

This led them to reach out to some of the best producers (and humans) they had met and admired since their arrival in the city, assembling a split 12” of all New York artists entitled The Giant Monarch EP. While there is probably enough talent in New York to fill several Olympic-size pools’ worth of records, the four artists that best fit their particular vision for The Giant Monarch EP were L’estasi Dell’oro, Loric, Greg Z, and Shawn O’Sullivan.

Fellow NY label owner L’estasi Dell’oro crafts an ominous journey through the darkest regions of techno, its compressed 909s underscored by a constant, eerie haze, while Loric takes a vastly different approach, laying disco samples over a thunderous kick, all accented by mechanic but remarkably funky percussion.

On the B side, Greg Z delivers his signature stripped back, analogue take on techno, carefully placing metallic elements to build the sonic equivalent of the vibiest grandfather clock in world history, and last but not least, Shawn O’Sullivan perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the concrete jungle in techno form.

Support from Norman Nodge, Xhin, Moerbeck, Randomer, FSG, Mosca, Fred P and many more.

Time To Breathe Inward (Macro M62)- in the Mix by Stefan Goldmann

@stefangoldmann runs the @macrorec label and is closely associated with Berlin's @berghain club. Though nominally techno, his music is distinguished by an ever-imaginative take on the form. It's definitely club music but of a rather distinctive kind produced by a creator who's exceptionally imaginative, endlessly curious, and, one presumes, never happier than when bringing a project to fruition. Several of his tracks have served as genre-shifting blueprints – from his early reductionist works for the Classic and Perlon labels to Sleepy Hollow, Lunatic Fringe or The Maze. Yet he has ventured into a line of projects hacking away at the core features of techno, with systematic forays into, for example, irregular rhythms, microtonal tunings and the recontextualisation of industrial sound design. Apart from DJing in clubs around the globe, his projects have also brought him to locations as distinctive as the Berlin Philharmonic, Los Angeles's LACMA museum and Kyoto's Honen-in Temple.
His mix for @recorder-13 sees him build a highly focused arc, originating from amorphous tones by Grischa Lichtenberger and Mika Vainio, projecting through intricate structural experiments by Donato Dozzy, Stanislav Tolkachev and Aleksi Perälä and culminating in high pressure tracks by the likes of Schacke, L'estasi Dell'oro and Peter van Hoesen. The landing point is an excerpt from Stefan Goldmann's 'Live At Philharmonie Berlin' album, which was just released on Macro.
