Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Umwelt - Superior Life Forms [Midnight Shift]

taken from: Umwelt - Superior Life Form LP
release date: 11 October 2019

Umwelt allies with Midnight Shift for the release of the mini LP Superior Life Forms, featuring six devastating tracks on the vinyl release and an exclusive number seven for the digital release.
Known for his take no prisoners approach to searing hardware-based broken electro with the spirit of 90s French rave parties where he participated in, Umwelt himself is founder of labels such as Fundata, New Flesh Records and Rave or Die, and a diehard scene activist, pushing the resistance for the past twenty years and more.
A dark, sci-fi bleak horror theme runs through his prolific cosmos of productions and Superior Life Forms continues the narrative. It’s a tri-invasion attack between man, machine and foreign sentient beings. From the snarling Shadow Entity creeping from the sidelines to the ominous sound of the day of reckoning depicted on title track, Superior Life Forms, Umwelt has full control of the genre – telling a story with tightly programmed sounds, deadly textural atmospherics and an uneasy, foreboding tension of a world signalling its end.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Heartless - Blind Spot [6dimensions]

taken from: Heartless - ‘Johari Window’ [6dimensions]
release date: Dec 5th 2019

Heartless kept his productions closely guarded until unleashing them on Steve Bicknell’s 6dimensions. Honing his craft with the gradual building of his studio. Heartless was spurred on in 2014 by the re-emergence of Steve Bicknell productions, drawing on influences from the likes of Aphex Twin and Surgeon combined with the rise of modular equipment, Heartless was armed with a medium to express…...

Following up on his two previous releases on 6dimensions Impulse Model and Internal Crosstalk Heartless now presents us with Johari Window, expanding on the past and presenting the future sound of Heartless, full of the expected and of course the unexpected, hazy modular sequences, stretched, crushed and laid over kick drums from beyond……

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Pris - Soft Viral [Empathy]

taken from: Pris ‘Sulphur City’ EP (Empathy – EMPATH002) 
release date: Nov 29th 2019
pre-order: https://empathycorp.bandcamp.com/album/sulphur-city-ep 

Acclaimed Berlin-based techno producer, Pris, returns with the ‘Sulphur City’ EP – the second release on his new label Empathy, released on 29 November 2019. 
Following his debut EP on Empathy – the label and mixed media project he co-runs with Deejay Astral – in Spring 2019 with ‘New Babylon’ EP, Pris shows why he is such an exciting and respected producer, drawing on many different influences. 
Opening with the exhilarating, glitchy ‘Discovery’ which Pris describes as “a step into the unknown, combined with a sense of excitement and wonder.” ‘Soft Viral’ leads on perfectly. “A fun little track, jittery and growling. It’s nice stripping things back to get the most out of each element” 
Title track, ‘Sulphur City’, is for Pris, “very visual and inspired by a trip to Shanghai where I had a vision of an uninhabited technologically advanced city due to the climate crisis, a ride through a city succumb to nature” 
‘Twilight Falls’ shows a different side to Pris’s techno. “I have a soft spot for this. I wanted to make a somewhat uplifting track, envisioning the feeling of escaping city life during the twilight hours in a futuristic world where little natural beauty remains. But what there is, gives hope.” 
Early ‘Sulphur City’ EP supporters include Daniel Avery, Leon Vynehall, Ben UFO, Svreca, Mary Anne Hobbs, Wata Igarashi, Henning Baer, Pangaea, Rrose, and Cassegrain. 

Pris said: “The EP is a step beyond what I’ve made in the past. It draws from all aspects of my influences and experiences since first getting into music. I wanted this EP to show the side to techno that I see and want to share: colourful, energetic and painting a picture of where I’m at musically and my interpretation of what techno can be. I realised that I enjoy playing tracks with breaks in and decided to play around with them a bit myself for this EP as an experiment on how to build energy.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Karim Maas - Saturn Return [The Stone Tapes]

taken from: Karim Maas - Blakk Rainbow EP [STONETAPES004]
release date: Dec 13th 2019

"After the huge success of his debut collaborative LP with Pessimist, Karim Maas presents 'The Blakk Rainbow EP' for The Stone Tapes. Blurring the lines between genres, this release again proves that Karim Maas is one of the most interesting figures to emerge in modern electronic music. Never one-dimensional, the release traverses back & forth from the foreboding noise of 'Into Eternity' all the way to the meditative spiritualism of 'Saturn Return' and everywhere between. 'Blakk Rainbow' encapsulates Karim Maas' own signature sound while perfectly fitting into the ethos of The Stone Tapes."

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Forest On Stasys - Expedition [Subosc]

taken from: Forest On Stasys - Expedition EP [SBCV007]

Subosc Ltd is glad to announce a new vinyl release. Guido Camino,
aka Mental Resonance, presents four original cuts under his Forest
on Stasys identity.
“Astral Projection” presents a cosmonautical voyage with a strong
progression that constantly builds up. The rarefied atmosphere
included in the track, features an emblematic ritualism that is
interlaced with natural waves and layers.

“Expedition” follows a photonic pumping approach, featuring non-
trivial and sparse drum patterns. The functional approach entails

complex hallucinogenic stimulations.
On the flip side, “Lumina” proposes an explorative story with sparking
elements that resonate and overlap with the different melodic layers,
producing a pleasing hypnotic effect.
“Talisman” closes the package with a decompressive, magical
journey, that carries the listener into an imaginative dream-like
dimension made of natural landscapes.
The EP will be available as a vinyl only release, on a strictly limited
pressing.

"The story continues and with this digital-only-release, we are turning to what GEGEN is best at: crossfading of queer social criticism with body politics with glimmering and dangerous beats.
Flint*ernational explosion: GEGEN is thrilled to present you a massive line-up of all-female (and beyond) techno producers: The German-Polish DJ-duo 2XNI uses an arrangement of distorted and disturbing voices, while Berlin-based legendary MONYA experiments with insane beats. Swedish Berlin-based MADWOMAN transplants us onto a raw but contemplative construction site and EASTEL's industrial techno creates cascading waves of emotions. Producer and GEGEN resident MARTINA S pierces us with her hovering and hammering sounds, ESTHER DUIJN´s Dominatrix will whip our b/ass back to the 90´s groove. Multi-genre-talent LADY MARU shows how to express "Climate Rage" with acid techno and HYBRAL, with “Gegen Polizeigewalt”, not only increases the speed limit of their sound but also the
pressure against current violence against POC.
Let’s march ecstatically to the beats of all these different tunes."

“Rise my soul, rise through the flame and the ash, rise through the waters that fill the spaces under your arms as the crawl towards your throat. Rise and find the Grace, for it is all around you.”  - Tyler Knott Gregson

With the second vinyl release of its new record label venture, Gegen showcases two staples of the Berlin club scene.

On the A side, Berghain regular DJ, acclaimed producer and multi-label founder Oliver Deutschmann brings his signature sound of hypnotic “8-AM-on-a-Sunday” big room techno. “Wach” (awake in German) has the kind of sound that builds on layers upon layers of skillfully designed drums.

On the B side with “Roadkill”, Gegen’s own residents La Fraicheur & Leonard de Leonard come up with a moody track carrying a weird combination of gritty and dirty synths with spacious sound design that make you wonder if you didn’t get thrown off the side of the Milky Way by a boisterous clunky spacecraft on its last leg.

Premiere: La Fraicheur & Leonard de Leonard 'Roadkill'

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from La Fraicheur & Leonard de Leonard. Berlin’s infamous GEGEN returns for the second vinyl release on its new label venture with, THE GRACE, which brings together some of Berlin’s most beloved producers including Berghain regular Oliver Deutschmann and club residents La Fraicheur & Leonard de Leonard. Side A sees Deutschmann bring his hypnotic sound with “Wach” which also features a Mar/us remix and the B-side finds the residents deliver the moody “Roadkill” and today we host the crushing remix from Italian producer WarinD. This is another stellar release from the label arm of one of Berlin’s most important events and we look forward to more. 

THE GRACE is out January 22nd on vinyl + digital and you can get yours on Bandcamp.

On remix duty, Gegen is playing with its Italian roots in its choice of two newcomers: Mar/us and WarinD.

Making his producer debut with this remix, Mar/us, another Gegen resident, is coming-in strong with a harmonic tear-jerker full of pads oozing with 90’s influences and whose melancholy is balanced out by a martial groove.

As for WarinD, he completely flipped the original on its head and swapped the moodiness for a kick-heavy hard-hitter adorned with ethereal dissonant synths and brand new vocals.

Includes digital pre-order of GEGEN002. You get 1 track now (streaming via the free Bandcamp app and also available as a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more), plus the complete album the moment it’s released: https://gegenberlin.bandcamp.com/album/gegen002

"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. "
