Newly launched Dutch electro label LDI Records follows up their first release from T/Error with a deep and dark four track EP by French producer Franck Kartell. 

In a homage to masterful science fiction writer Philip K Dick - Side A of Electric Sheep EP evokes scenes from future mechanised worlds. Electric Sheep kicks the 12” off with a melancholic and contemplative moment followed by a steel cold and brooding venture in Voigt-Kampff.

On the B side of this release, there is a live mix of Kartell's track Electro Music, a futuristic electro work out with kicks for the dancefloor. The EP completes with Victoria - an ode to the electronic musician Victoria Lukas who passed away in 2020 - with a beautifully poised and contemplative track steeped in synths.

Franck Kartell is a French producer who has releases on Between Places, Transient Force, Ukonx Recordings, New Flesh, Bass Agenda and others. Since 2005 he has been producing well thought-out electro music filled with dark atmospheres and driving rhythms.

Specialising in moody, atmospheric electro, LDI Records (Lloyd’s Dark Imperium) are an essential label to watch. Distributed worldwide by Clone Distribution, while the Dutch label’s main focus is on vinyl releases, available in selected record shops across the globe, releases will also be available digitally.

LUN08 - Various Artists - FrachtØ1 - Snippets

AOS was, initially, to be the second 12", and the third entry, in Ediciones Danza Negra's catalog. Three years went by, however, and after sorting through the challenges - financial, logistic and existential - of running an independent label in the South American context, and several iterations later, the release finally took shape: 
the fourth of our modest catalog, and the first to be recorded on tape. 

Why? What for? More-than-three years is enough time for those questions to appear, time and time again. It's enough time to cultivate the elusive humility that helps question if these records should be heard, or not. In Junn's case, we think it is. 

The problem with exoticising locality is to comodify music's origin as a shortcut for visibility in foreign markets, flags as beacons in an impenetrable ocean of music, instead of feeding back to the dynamics that birthed it. South America is inherent to the EDNA project not as a narrative crouch, but as a target: a space to occupy, 
mouths to feed, nights to agitate. AOS is precisely that, a collection of music made in Colombian soil, a signal asking for an echo from its streets and from its people, an invitation to the trance of the dancefloors that gave it its embrionary spark.  

Across 9 tracks Junn synthesizes (ha!) a sound that conjures images of a desolate and labyrinthic Bogotá, ambiguous rhythms that march in stasis while longing textures pulsate without finding the other. The tape includes revisions from fellow bogotanos Juanpablo and Lunate (the latter almost entirely responsible for the 3 year delay), who join Junn, and the choir of others who translate in audio their passing through the 
continent.

To recognize ourselves in stillness, the absence of collectivity and the danceless nights have changed the way we inhabit spaces once dedicated to sound. Multitudes dilute to form dancing silhouettes, each in their own restricted space. We remember a stuck highway to success, it's routes with no exit, and we hold in our hands the nostalgia of unfulfilled horizons. Multiple possibilities of recognition, abundance and kinship: the mirage of tomorrow. 

The straight arrow of time changes, too, breaks. After months of silence and newfound sounds, we live in a simultaneous past-present-future.The past is revitalized with ever new experience, but it carries with it the uncertainties of the future and we're mobilized by this multi-temporality. It is no longer longing and desire alone, but also paths that are untraveled and uncertain, ours after all. 

We walk between the steps we take, and amongst those that follow, through the transcendental sound that bound us to an instant, and not by the promised scenery.  

We walk because that's all that's left to do, shake off the stillness and build our present.The mirage of tomorrow vanishes and we're reflected in the uncertainty and in the presence of an infinite 
now: what do we listen to, how are we listening, with what artifacts, with whom. There are no answers, only the breaking of the questions and the renewed temporality, dense and conflictive, with tensions beyond the passing of time.  

We've carried with us a heavy and confusing tomorrow, one that misplaced our present. Maybe it's time to see, feel and listen to what we ate today.

PREMIERE: Junn - Ambar (Juanpablo Rmx)[Ediciones Danza Negra]

The end was nigh; every avenue had been exhausted but all to no avail. This wasn't the outcome she'd hoped for, moving forward had been her priority from the outset. But her mind that couldn't shake the image. As much as she'd tried to block it out, it had become impossible. If her waking thoughts weren't consumed by it, her dreams were — that was something she couldn't control. 

One of our favourite dystopian soundtrackers Rat Life Records are returning with another EP 'to accompany the end of the world'. The label, run by producer and DJ Credit 00, have previously shared apocalyptic sounds from Fotze & Fatzke, Westlake & Hayter and Mr Incognito, and are now welcoming Rome-based producer Religious Order to the family. The six tracks across his 'Luci Nere' EP boast the gritty textures we've come to expect of a Rat Life release: a fusion of sludgy electro rhythms, eerie acid lines and distorted EBM vocal hits.

DÔME (curated by Astropolis to support the local scene) is back with a new 100% Brittany various EP. A journey into the Vortex including tracks from new Bicep favorite FASME, Rinse France resident CARLTON, EVENN (Rawax...) from Texture crew and DJ PADSET, (best known as Vanadís and Tsugi Radio resident).
 
Freshly signed on Feel My Bicep and after supported Bicep in a Parisian show, FASME is a one to watch (BBC1 Future star 2022). His melodic sound is created on analog synths, evolving between acid, electro and braindance. "Ça Groove" is an aery dance in his synthetic and acid sound, a perfect track to start the night.
 
Native from Brest, we could think CARLTON is a Bristol native. Deep bass and percussive breaks lover, he has refined his sonic imprint inspired by labels such as Livity Sound, Idle Hands or Timedance. On 'AM1', he delivers a deep dive in his immersive sound design full of details.
 
Used to deliver house bangers on big imprints such as Rawax, Houseworx or Henry Street Music, Evenn show us his electro facet, with this 'E.S.TRAX' beauty between rhythmic energy, dark and smooth electro. 
 
Known as Vanadís for her dj sets exploring the best of unconventional sounds between UK bass, experimental electronic and industrial, she’s also producing as DJ PADSET. With its very raw analogic bassline, its acid beats and sprinkled with vocals, ‘Leaders Mischief’ reminds us the early releases of L.I.E.S imprint. Dancefloor killer!

Tracklist:

1 - Carlton - AM1
2 - Evenn - E.S.TRAX
