Unstoppable techno force !Organism has time to put out one more excellent EP this year, and it comes from TKNO and Belgrade’s Sugar Lobby with a fine remix from Krenzlin. 

Sugar Lobby is a talented female techno maker who has been a key player in the underground scene in Belgrade and across Europe. She has a decade’s worth of experience of travelling to top clubs and festivals and her sound has plenty in common with labels like CLR, Ostgut and Token. Here she hooks up with vinyl collector and label boss TKNO who has picked up props from Riche Hawtin, has released on Tauten and Yin Yang and who has a dark and absorbing sound. 

Their first effort ‘Circle X’ is a thrilling one indeed. With vast rubbery kicks rolling down below, you are immediately swept up. Sweeping pads, explosive claps and juddery percussive hits all add to the forceful sense of motion whilst a hypnotic synth line grows in stature to become the of focus of the track and thoroughly locks you in. 

The equally brilliant ‘Circle XX’ is more heady and stripped back, with a cavernous techno chamber run through with sci-fi sounds, alien textures and icy percussion that all seep into and then frazzle your brain in fantastic fashion. 

Germany’s Krenzlin, another esteemed techno talent, then remixes ‘Circle XX’ into a more energetic, textured and big room techno cut with stomping kicks, oversized and serrated synths and a great sense of urgency. 

Once again here !Organism serve up some irresistible main room techno from some of Europe’s finest.

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.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Takaaki Itoh - Ensurer [KR3 Records]

taken from: Takaaki Itoh - Mutual Recognition [KR3.002]
release date: 22 July 2020
pre-sale: https://kr3records.bandcamp.com

"Curated by Japanese techno Legend Takaaki Itoh with an additional remix by Claudio PRC. KR3 first EP is an intricate labyrinth of sounds, set to come out on both Vinyl & Digital format.
Mutual Recognition - is a work of insistent raw elements that interweave with hypnotic segments, creating a sense of bewilderment.
Warbler and Ensurer keep the listener on the edge with their insistent wobbling and repetitive sounds.
On the B side, Receptor builds a sense of high intensity; Stinging synths and mental hi-hats interact consistently, resulting in a mesmerizing conversation between different elements.
Claudio PRC lays his hands on Receptor, closing the album with a hypnotic, deep, and seductive track. Its energy is what makes it the perfect track to be played in the early morning hours, when the mind is lost but the body is still going."

"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. "
