Lost In Ether | Origin Series | Somnolent Works

BIO:
Józef Flakus, also known as Somnolent Works, is a producer, DJ, and music explorer based in Upper Silesia. He is passionate about breakbeat/jungle rhythms, old school electro, and techno music, often with robotic and strong elements. He loves to break conventions and explore new musical directions taken from different genres of music. The gritty and atmospheric landscape of factories, mines, and steelworks of his hometown region has had a significant impact on his music, particularly in its darker and more experimental elements. Somnolent Works' sound often reflects the mechanical rhythms and metallic textures of the industrial world, as well as the resilience and perseverance of the people who lived and worked in the region.
He is a regular member of the CEL club in Katowice, where he can be heard playing his eclectic selections from behind the decks. His latest releases include his debut EP titled "Surface Noise," which was self-released at the end of 2021. The EP showcases his distinctive style of noisy breakbeat rhythms, while also exploring new musical directions. In late 2022, he released the "Paperclip" single on the SKAN label compilation, which further demonstrated his ability to craft intricate and immersive soundscapes within the electro genre. On March 23rd, 2023, he is set to premiere a larger release on the POTOP label in Katowice.

Lost In Ether | Origin Series | Somnolent Works

"Ether, or æther, was the mysterious substance once thought to suffuse the universe and be the medium that propagated light (and radio waves once they were discovered). Before that, it was the material that suffused the realm of the Gods. So, to say that something is in the ether means that it is something being communicated from place to place; it has no precise location, just as a radio broadcast can be heard from many different places. "

* Lost In Ether 
Here you can find personal visions and expressions of alternative electronic music represented by artists invited to show their own ways to explore sounds which are embraced into one wave of sound - podcast recorded for "Lost in Ether".

Wavelet, a key figure in the underground Electro scene of Valencia, stands out for his fusion of Electro, IDM and breaks. His dedication to promoting and supporting Electro music is clear in his creative endeavors. 

His passion for electronic music began in the 90s, influenced by labels such as Warp, Skam, Direct Beat, and Electron Industries. Later, labels like Touchin'Bass, Ai Records, and SCSI-AV shaped his DJ style until 2013, when he finally made the leap to the turntables.

Wavelet has long been associated with the Valencian collective Hypnotica Colectiva (HC), where he was a member of the radio platform "Electronic Café Radio" for three years and organized and served as resident DJ for the HC We Are The Robots (W.A.T.R) parties from 2014 to the present.

Since 2014, Wavelet has also been a regular performer at some of Valencia's main clubs, sharing the stage with artists such as ADJ, Carl Finlow, Boris Divider, and Umwelt, among others.

He currently runs with Sigma_Algebra the label Tensor Norm, whose second vinyl release was released at the end of 2022.
