Closing Symphony

Stardust

It’s fair to say that Boris Bunnik has made an impact in his short career. In less than a decade this dutch man, under monikers like Conforce and Versalife, has scaled Electro and Techno with subtle ambient touches and IDM echoes. And that’s exactly what he’s doing for the Singularity EP. Lush pads and flowing bars punctuated by crisp percussion, “Shine Eye” sets the scene. “Autobots” adopts those same brittle beats, this time using them to send dreaming strings skyward. Northern winds swirl around the colder chords of “MILnet”, chords that dawn into absorbing swirls of “Transgenics.” Masterful machine music.

Versalife - Singularity EP

"I first got introduced to Cliff Lothar through a mutual friend of ours at the time, Lori Napoleon (Antennes). I was surprised by what I heard. He had this feel in his music that seemed to set him apart from just about everybody I had heard at the time. 

From the start of my time over at Submerge with Mike Banks, Mike had always given me demos to check out, because he just didn't have the time and a lot of the stuff that came in sounded very much the same. A lot of it was very well made but to be honest it was rare to find something that stood out.

A few years later, me and Mad Mike were talking about some of the old UR records and one off labels, and I mentioned World Power Alliance. Mike had always wanted to fire the label back up, but there was just never enough time to scout artists outside of Detroit to fill the roster. I said I might have some stuff sitting aside from friends of mine over there that you may like. None of it really seemed to grab him till I popped in Cliffs stuff.

The thing that always made me crazy is that I would have loved to snatch up some of the material and put it out, but we just couldn't find enough variety of artists around it to fill in more records.

This record contains some of those tracks. This guy knows what he's doing and I'm sure you'll hear plenty more from him in the future. This was one of my favorite records years before it's been released, and I hope you all enjoy it too."

VNC003 - LD Fantasy Tracks

PREMIERE: Too Smooth Christ - Before [Ville Nouvelle]

Mörk white finally launches to provide a small suboutlet for more off-Mörk sounds. Exploring rougher edges and surfaces as well as some more minimalistic and stripped back areas and a bit of sly electro.

No Moon opens up the series with 2x12"'s of vintage warmth & fire. Rollocking techno production and Alien vs Predator atmospheres & wails on Space Station kicks things off, rolling into the crunchy piano roller that is Unusual Light Curve - undulating chords & bass washed over pretty much the entire package.

The title track I Left My Dial In Pirovac is a two part epic split across each 12", the first a chippering 303 peppered with rickety drums and ghostly glacial pads. Part 2 is a heavy thundering roller for the deep in the night. Long epic rollouts and slowly evolving textures plus a little dab of acid to spice things up.

Everything Has A Return slays the heart with dusty, emotionally charged synths waving in the wind over blown-to-pieces depth charge kicks and hankering percussion and proto-acidic flecks. 

Lastly, Is It Vibey Is It Yolo rides us out with another hammering epic. Lolloping drum lunges scourge the soft, 80's beach soap opera softness. I swear this is a synth instrumental cover of Don Henley's The Boys of Summer. Someone help me out ye?

The clouds pile up in the Dresden autumn sky, but Uncanny Valley still sees a little bit of blue on the horizon. And why not looking on the bright side of life for a change? It’s appropriate. At least if you have five killer tracks in your bag. Anyway, the collaboration with the Leipzig graphic designer Doppeldenk proved to be very fruitful and has now produced the fourth of seven children. So, after PINK, RED and ORANGE, here is BLUE. May life be good to you.

The record opens with the aptly titled, Chicago-inspired MIND TRIP by Credit 00, the Aldous Huxley from your neighborhood. The Leipziger takes you on a journey on your own nerve pathway with occasional stops at the hottest spots in your body. Local buddy Gnista is piling up layer by layer for the UK meets Electro affair that is PLAYTIME WORKTIME. It’s an atmospheric monster that needs to be climbed first. But as soon as this is done, a fresh breeze blows around your nose. In BRECHT HAT ER, the mysterious Dresden underground formation AGB spreads wisdom in staccato mode, accompanied by Cold Wave-like music, which could also have been created in the shadows of the Berlin Wall.

After a long time of hiatus, there is also a sign of life again from Uncanny Valley’s Break SL, who proves with BYE BYE 627 that he still masters the art of producing House music that is as edgy as it is catchy. In similar veines comes IN TRANSIT from Qnete who channels the ghosts in his machines into an emotional and powerful House track.
