Tekno Oscuro

Keeping up to date with Soil Records is proving to be quite complicated, their catalogue grows vertiginously with several monthly releases, always combining cassette and vinyl formats. To this frenetic activity, we have to add the suggestive that it is to check the great cast of artists that appear on the label, with many known names and others that are not so well known and that we are grateful to know.

Having just completed three years of this project, we can count 48 albums released on tape and 13 on vinyl. This thirteenth is an EP signed by the Argentinian producer Distant, who after his contribution to the second volume of the series of various artists Tears For Fears, returns to Soil with an album in which 4 different authors adapt their criteria to the same track.

The original Carmesí Diabla track will be released shortly on cassette and on this release it is reinterpreted with 4 very different outcomes. The first is a version by Thomas van Linge, known artistically as Randstad and for being the boss of BAKK and Rubber. The remix is sweeping and energetic, with a consistent punch, an arpeggiated bass line that fits perfectly with the strength of the track and several other resources such as acid lines and a voice that emerges from the guts. The second cut on side A is by German Marc Trauner, a legend of European electronic music, known for his countless aliases such as the mythical Mescalinum United project, although this time he works as The Mover. His version is conceived in a different universe than Randstad's, here it doesn't flow in a bellicose environment, but rather coexists in a docile and elegant context, with an electro-oriented direction.

The B-side opens with a version of another legend of the European industrial scene. In this case it's the Italian Max Durante, who, with his reliable techno-industrial, develops a remix in which the crushing kick is the centre of attention. Melania's reinterpretation closes the EP with a fierce and relentless twist, with an ostentatious punch although, unlike the previous track, it adopts an atmospheric character with several chordal incursions that do not alter its tonal quality.

Release date: July 2nd, 2021.

A3- Isocrono
B1- Decomposizione
B2- Elaborazione

Digital
1- Anamorfosi
2- Liquidazione
3- Isocrono
4- Decomposizione
5- Elaborazione


Scifi maestro Divide is back again in our sound factory providing five fine exercises of scientific and intrincated techno.

The space trip begins with Anamorfosi, totally beatless, with several asymmetrical synth lines running against each other in a complex experiment that serves to introduce what comes next.

Liquidazione goes straight into dancefloor action with a stomping groove with the appropriate dose of distortion with cosmic and rugged sequences running on top spiced with lots of sound design details. 

Isocrono closes A side with a similar sound palette but this time introducing the elements progressively until all action takes place. Obsessive, mental and rude at the same time.

Flipping the vinyl comes Decomposizione, merciless beat, wisely administered distortion and detailed sou8nd design to create a pure mix weapon.

Last cut is Elaborazione, again enforced drums in charge of the groove with sibilant synthesized components filling the stereo field. The arrangement is constantly changing and evolving, surprising the dancer with imprevisible twists.

One more proof of the expertise that this producer showcases on each of his works.

Marcal is back for round two on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with “Cyber Dystopia.” Marcal’s trademark grooves and clever vocal processing make this one of his most exciting and hypnotic records yet. It’s pure class…there isn’t much else to say!

BUT we have to try anyway…
“Cyber Dystopia” starts off with Bionic Jungle, a trippy peak time roller sprinkled with uh, lifeforms or something? We haven’t been able to identify them, which is just proof that Marcal is living on another planet we haven’t been to yet. We’re standing by for the invite.

Moravex’s Paradox picks up where Bionic Jungle left off…chugging along in his signature style. It’s loopy. It’s tooly…but still heavy on the grooves, making it a perfect fit in deep and peak time sets alike.

Nothing About the United States hits a little harder and darker. Dissonant drones and catchy sound design take over, flipping the switch from “party” to “punish.” For fans of his recent track on Enemy, “Never Wrote This.”

Don’t Fear the Three is a classic Marcal percussive workout in heads-down mode. It’s as equally powerful as every other track on the record.

“Cyber Dystopia” is all about the world we are living in right now: artificial intelligence, smart houses, smartphones, self-driving cars, deepfakes, fake news, cybernetic warfare, metaverse, social networks, the internet of things, machine learning, virtual reality...
We are definitely entering a new stage of civilization, the post-modern era.
But,
Are we living an 'apocalypse of self-abdication' already? Or we are, as humans, simply evolving as technology evolves? There will ever be a limit to technology? Will it help as much it can also destruct?

We will find out soon.

Dimi Angelis
A Journal of Impossible Things
 
1. Dimi Angélis - The Exchange of Gases
2. Dimi Angélis - Slichten
3. Dimi Angélis - Nictitating Membrane
4. Dimi Angélis - Extraterrestrial

Here we have again on command the dutch 909 maestro Dimi Angelis, providing four cuts of alien and stripped down techno cooked with a few elements and a lot of knowledge in his home studio in Amsterdam.

Dimmi’s sound is always precise, scientific but somehow punk and gritty and that’s exactly what transmits the first cut is this Ep, The Exchange of Gases combines bleeps and distortion with the rhythm conduction of a minimal 909 beat.

Slichten goes from outer space to Birmingham with an industrial repetitive sequence running relentlessly over again a basic 909 pattern. Repetition is here the key to success when used properly as a tool by experienced dj’s out there.

Nictitating Membrane returns to scfi feelings again spiced with the right dose of distortion and roughness. The hypnotic bleep penetrates your mind while the dirty sound of the old drum machine sets the pace for your feet. Special mention to the occasional resonant sweep that appears from time to time creating the required tension.

Extraterrestrial reminds us of the sound of a space destructor attacking some invader ships Somewhere in the far reaches of the galaxy.

A powerful demonstration of how real techno should be, stripped down, intelligent and nasty, why not.

CAT#: RILIS018

01. Eterna Primavera
02. Anaconda
03. Principles of Rhythm
04. Crystals Heal

Unrilis returns with the latest instalment in its Rilis series which features four raw and hypnotic tracks from, Sons Of Hidden.

Rilis is a classic techno series founded by iconic Italian artist Rino Cerrone before his retirement from the music industry. The series allowed him to release uncompromising tracks with experimental ideas, and the revitalised series has featured music from artists who share Rino Cerrone’s philosophy, including the likes of Ritzi Lee, Samuel L Session, A.Paul and DJ Dextro.

Sons of Hidden are a talented duo who have an analogue style with industrial percussion and driving energy. They are known for their live sets that see them play their own music in a club environment, and they have also featured tracks on influential record labels such as Suara, Illegal Alien and UTCH Records.

“Eterna Primavera” opens the release with the machine funk of its bleeping melodies and fast-paced percussion. “Anaconda” blends thrashing hi-hats with metallic textures and tribal rhythms. “Principles of Rhythm” has a menacing synth line and hypnotic vocal stabs underpinned by upbeat drum patterns, and "Crystals Heal” closes the release with dystopian pads layered with a trippy synth riff.

PREMIERE: Sons Of Hidden - Anaconda [RILIS018]

Get this track now: http://scitec.lnk.to/fireball

An undeniable tour de force in the techno world, Klaudia Gawlas’ inspiring back-story and subsequent success as a genre-influencing DJ & Producer have seen her cemented at the forefront of the ever-changing dance landscape for nearly a decade, with an impressive back catalogue of releases on some of the industry’s most respected imprints, including Joseph Capriati’s Redimension, Coyu’s Suara, and countless others, Klaudia now trunks to Dubfire’s esteemed SCI+TEC label for her latest release.

Title cut ‘Fireball’ is the first of three impressive tracks that span Gawlas’ latest EP, greeting you with a marching onslaught of analogue-focused racy techno. Industrial, intense and unforgiving, its insistent attack of thudding drums, coarse hat grooves and rattling percussive cadence keeps you on your toes from the outset as it ebbs and flows through a series of hair-raising builds and thunderous throwdowns. 

‘Effective Avoiding’ is next up, serving a helter-skelter of modulating gates and envelopes alongside robust drum grooves and more piercing percussion. One for hardware lovers, its undulating sea of crescendos and thumping beats make for an attractive plunge into the deep end. 

‘Voices Around You’ rounds off the release with another explicitly underground number. The third of three analogue techno jams, its pulsating combination of hard-hitting rhythms and murky tonal textures marauds pleasantly from start to finish, weaving a hypnotic gritty track with plenty of tricks up its sleeve.

It’s always a pleasure to have a visit from the family, so we welcome again Kessell at home. Not many words needed to introduce this classic producer whose name means skills, futurism and quality.

He offers four cuts of hypnotically driven techno, starting with Killing Vector. Sharp drum work, funky stabs and classy feeling.

Crypto follows with a more alien approach, random Fm sequences, shuffled grooves and asymmetrical synth lines.

Processed for use comes into tooly territories, with opaque sequences that progressively grow from the low part of the sound spectrum and a solid rythm backing, mutating and evolving wisely.

Refuse to conform sounds scifi and bleepy, irregular drum patterns, reverberated synth bleeps and lots of fx processing collide in a super intelligent mix tool.

Four tracks of pure techno aside of tendencies, for the real players out there.

"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.
