electronic trax 2023 (house techno) part 4

The tenth Affûté release is a Various Artist with three different artists. On the A-side, you'll find 'Overtone' and 'Undertone', two abyssal tracks from label boss Téo Dréan made out of haunting throat singing samples. On the B-side, the British twin brothers Morven deliver a hypnotic groove with 'Awakening'. Young upcoming Dutch producer Hitam wraps up the VA with his dark, sophisticated 'Emerald Curse'.

All profits from the Bandcamp vinyl and digital sales will be donated to an orphanage in Vietnam where Téo's younger sister was adopted. The dark transparent green vinyl echoes the traditional piece of jade jewelry that women wear in this part of Asia.

Vinyl will release on 12 April, digital on 12 May. If you live in Berlin and want to save on the shipping costs, reach out to me to organize a pick up Ostbahnhof

Hitam - Emerald Curse [Artaphine Premiere]

Our first premiere of the day comes from New York-based techno producer BRÄLLE as he features on Signal Rec for a 6-track EP including a remix from Dave Wincent. We premiere ‘The Dead Space Between The Stars, a deep & driving piece of warehouse-driven techno as BRÄLLE showcases his unique brand of unearthly sound design.

BRÄLLE joins Signal Rec for a slick five-track EP of dark and entrancing EP of basement orientated techno. The New Yorker has garnered a reputation for his murky style of textured techno as he’s presented his sound on Newrhythmic Records, Immaterial.Archives, Hardwork Records, and more. BRÄLLE now returns with 5 hard-hitting, no-nonsense tracks. BRÄLLE has been firing from all cylinders as of late as he is running off the back from his debut album.

The US-based artist is a vocal advocate for the preservation of techno’s underground roots, the New Yorker stays very much in his own lane, veering away from trends and focusing on his artistry as a producer. Having toured extensively in previous projects, BRÄLLE is now first and foremost a producer, focused on texture, atmosphere, and emotional evocation.

We premiere ‘The Dead Space Between The Stars’ a creeping trip through misty sounds, as BRÄLLE shows his prowess in the art of minimalistic & atmospheric techno. The New York producer dives into the abyss of darkness, forming a deep and menacing piece of dingy warehouse techno. Immaculate production quality from a consistent artist.

DJ Hockey approaches techno by intermingling layers of contrasting elements. Defining characteristics for his productions are grounded, thick, encompassing atmospheres often on the introspective side. Psychedelia is present in all of his musical expressions, crafting dynamic journeys resulting in playful and groovy sets.

With releases on labels Model Future, PPRZ and RF Records, DJ Hockey works to propel his interpretation of techno with his production work.

1. Red Giant opens the EP with gentle, dusty percussions, eerie atmospheres and cavernous low end sub. Delayed claps create swirling wind ontop of the steady pace.

2. Kuiper Belt is a tool effective at infusing a reserved moment in a 4/4 set, or making a transition from electro to 4/4 techno. Gentle melodies and hypnotic elements glide over the kicks and snares.

3. Andromeda is a scifi inspired 909 workout. Grooving toms, aggressive snares and spacey claps float around a vox sample while intensity builds from the synths until take off.

4. Starburst is a layerable tool with a strong kick and sparkly arpeggiated synthline which modulates throughout. Simple yet effective percussions provide build up and release through-out this straight forward melter.

Bank NYC is very excited to present the definitive statement of Collector, "No Prospects". Collector is the solo guise of Jason Campbell, resident of Newcastle, Australia. Since 2014, Campbell has been channelling the industrial malaise of his hometown through his unique take on heavy electronics. After a series of releases on global-spanning labels such Steel City Dance Discs (UK), Nice Music (AUS), Clan Destine (SCO) & Night People (US), the debut long-player for Bank NYC finds Collector embracing true album form for the first time in his discography. Across eight pieces, Collector delivers a bleak sonic narrative via a hardware-only approach to production: Analog drum machine patterns are intricately intertwined with menacing synth lines, and driving bass is met with the unrelenting clatter of tightly-sequenced field recordings taken straight from the heart of local industry.

Thematically, "No Prospects" navigates the downfall of Newcastle's BHP Steelworks at the end of the 20th century. Acknowledged widely as the largest de-industrialisation event in Australian history, the closure of the Steelworks in 1999 marked a dramatic cultural shift where blue-collar vocations were vanquished due to an economic slump, and were consumed by the trending cosmopolitanism seen in adjacent cities. "No Prospects" draws on Campbell's family lineage in the Newcastle's steelworks, providing a rich, personal context to an industry that both gives and takes away. The sharp intensity of the album is sustained by dramatic shifts in pace: the devestating slow burners of 'Two From Five' and 'Ricochet' are instinctually offset by the frenetic 'CFT' and 'Workers Club Collapse', which showcase Campbell's no-nonsense approach to shaping an almost club-ready breed of modern industrial techno. Although diverse across both sides, cohesion is found in Campbell's toolkit of samples that are unmistakably Collector. The album's eponymous track, 'No Prospects', serves as an introspective centrepoint - a largely arrhythmic excursion shrouded in familiar brooding, textural drones, and underpinned by the chug of machinery on the brink of collapse.

Although forever indebted to the spirit of local electronic outcasts, Bloody Fist Records, Collector's "No Prospects" is a remarkably distinct statement straight from the heart of Australia's Steel City. The complexity of arrangements speak to Campbell's long association in experimental music communities, whilst the persistent feeling of dread conveys a uniquely regional story of decay and futility. Pure Novocastrian industrial electronics.

"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. "
