The phrase "concept album" brings to mind long and complicated works by 60s rock bands or rap magna opera destined to be pored over by Dissect podcast. But what if the concept is based on a simple conceit? With Refreshing Part 1, their third EP and first vinyl release on Tresor, Fireground soundtrack an imaginary night spent at the Kraftwerk building on K&ouml;penicker Stra&szlig;e, moving between the smoke-filled basement of Tresor and the bass-heavy loft of Globus.

Opening piece, Never Sleep, has long been a feature of the Fireground live set and evolved over many months before reaching its final form in something of a "eureka" moment during a performance in Tresor. The track kicks off the EP with a hint to techno classic Knights of the Jaguar before quickly carving its own path through the foliage.

The tribal leitmotif continues on second track, Gaze, which again has subtle nods to classics whilst showcasing the duo's ability to bring new life to 90s house and techno tropes. 

Obsession dispenses with any pretence and gets right down to business from the opening second: Inspired by the Tresor dancefloor "when it reaches its peak; the strobe lights together with the smoke become so intense that for a few moments you can't see anything and completely abandon yourself to [your] sense of hearing." 
A counterpoint to the finessed Never Sleep, Obsession was recorded live with minimal post-production this track finds Fireground at their rawest and most uncompromising.

As if needing a spot of fresh air after the ferocity of Obsession, the second half of the EP leaves the dense and smoky atmosphere behind and ascends towards the sky beginning with Driving Stars; lighter though this may be there's no loss of drive.

Penultimate track Into a Diamond finds Fireground floating ever-upwards propelled by elements of jazz including a gorgeous electric piano solo that recall the airy mid-90s UK house of labels like Nuphonic, Heavenly, Faze Action, and Soma. 

Digital-only track, Wedding, closes the EP with the perfect end-of-night feeling, leaving us joyful, as if we are stepping out into the morning sun surrounded by close friends, the sounds of the evening orbiting our minds.

PREMIERE: R/D/V - Discordant Thoughts [West Rules]

Eibaa! Soy Iñaki Palomero a.k.a @febbe. Dj de Puerto de Sagunto, si no sabes donde está lo buscas; que lleva desde el año pasado viviendo en Madrid.

Mi estilo es difícil de definir. En cada set intento que confluyan géneros musicales diferentes pero siempre dotando a todo de un sentido. Me gusta un amplio espectro musical, así que creo que es importante darle cabida en mis pinchadas. En este set tan especial podréis escuchar un poco de todo. Ritmos rotos y breaks para descomponerse, compases 4x4 para ponerse bien todoterreno o drum&bass elegantón a altos bpms.

Esta temporada espero mantenerme en mi línea. Ya son unas cuantas en @phasectv y como siempre pretendo regalar sets con una selección única y currada haciendo lo que me gusta donde más me gusta. Siempre ofreciendo mi mejor versión y creciendo poco a poco en la escena.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Arbiter - PRAGMA_3-Relevant Moment [Kranskommun]

Premiere of "μMod (#27)" by Craig Heneveld, taken from " μMod", forthcoming on Deciduous Circuits

Label: Deciduous Circuits
Artist: Craig Heneveld
Title: μMod
Cat.Number: DCCI001
Format: Digital 
Release Date: December 22, 2023

Boulder, CO - On December 22, Craig Heneveld releases “μMod,” a snappy hypnotic techno track that builds its foundation on a punchy 909 kick and crisp hit hat. The song is led by a sinister synth arpeggio that snakes around the song, leaving delays of digital dust and reverb in its wake. The track ebbs, flows, and sometimes stretches like it’s pulling apart at its seams. It’s this sonic elongation where the track gets its title, “μMod.” The real μMod is a knob on the Eurorack module Mimephon which provides a modern take on sound copying, echo, and repeating devices, creating a unique delay effect that also takes on characteristics of vibratro, flanger, and chorus. This combination, when the timing is adjusted with this knob, creates this effect that sounds like light is being sucked into a black hole, where its particles bend into the singularity.

"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. "

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".
