Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Discrete Circuit - Standard Error (Samuel Kerridge Remix) [Astray]

taken from: Discrete Circuit - ERROR EP [Astray Records] 

The Berlin native, Discrete Circuit (Astray/Mistress/Delsin), has been on the road for most of 2019 but managed to fire this new EP off to the pressing plant before taking himself and the Astray vibe to more exotic locations. His hypnotic groove and drum machine physicality are back with a vengeance on this 4 tracker. The original on the A side — also featuring a collab with Blind Observatory — and an open invitation to reinterpret “Standard Error” on the flip. One ethereal mix from Samuel Kerridge and the other again from label homeboy H4L. Heavy, deep, experimental combinations.

 

The A side lifts off with that addictive 909 pulse. Call and response. Kick versus open hi-hat. Worming its way in, the synth mesmerises, slightly off-kilter, deviating. No cadence, no end. “Standard Error” is stripped down machine groove with alien code skittering inside the mind. No frills. The AA, with Blind Observatory and “Colabs”, delves into musing and reflective territory. A virtual garden of thought and the interaction of careful collaboration.

Samuel Kerridge takes his interpretation of the title track into heady heights on the start of the flipside. This remix of “Standard Error” is not only immersive and experimental in nature, but opens new spaces in some kind of post-techno realm — virtual, interactive. Biology and technology in some kind of beat skirmish on the edge of space. Or maybe we’re just tripping. The H4L remix might even be more out there still. No rock, no anchor, just broken industrial jazz at the bottom of the ocean. The digital bonus, “Disordered State”, is more late night circuitry chug.

"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.
