Cape Town-based artist Lukas Urban debuts on City Bowl Wax Network with four textural and exquisitely detailed works. As an exploration of spatial relationships, "Maps(Method)" blurs the lines between IDM, ambient, broken beat, and dub to create a timeless and dynamic work. Against a background of weightlessness, synthetic textures and lush chords are punctuated by organic percussion that transport the listener into living soundscapes. Lukas Urban’s careful attention to movement creates an experience that is both minimal, yet dense - a breath of fresh air that forgoes genre purity and arrives at something entirely unique.

Alpha 606 Remixed for 2016 on Interdimensional Transmissions, with a visionary remix from Anthony “Shake” Shakir, a secret dance floor anthem that works in almost any context from BMG and a beautiful spaced out take on “Electronic Flotation Device” by Erika. This was the last record mastered by Mark Richardson at Prairie Cat Mastering. All tunes from the lost Alpha 606 LP “Afto-Cuban Electronics”. 

Miami post bass from a Cuban perspective. What is it to be an exile of the country you love? The largely Cuban city Hialeah, part of the sprawling Miami metropolis, is home to not only Alpha 606’s exiled family, but also to Miami Bass.

"A futuristic homage to Cuban culture, fusing warm machine tones and crisp bass notes with Afro-Cuban drums." - Miami New Times

In 2008, IT signed Miami based electronic musician & live percussionist Armando Martinez, best known as Alpha 606. Born in Miami to Cuban immigrants, he is a multitalented multi instrumentalist. His innovation is in blending the varied history of Electro, 20th Century Avant Garde and his native Cuban influences, ranging from the ritual music of Santeria to the Afro Cuban highs of 1930's Havana. With this stew of influences, he creates a dense and colorful sound, melding advanced electronics with intricately played live hand drums. His style is the definition of a new sound, known as Electrónica Afro-Cubano.

"The name Alpha-606 is a hybrid of Alpha 66, the anti-Castro freedom fighting group, and the Roland TR-606 synthesizer machine. I'm just anti-Castro by myself. But I don't put much effort into it."    - Armando Martinez

Mohlao - Landforms [SSV12]

Dutch producer Samuel Van Dijk, best known for his gorgeous electro work as VC-118A, takes his Mohlao moniker out for an extended stroll on this double pack LP of otherworldly techno for quieter moments. From the barely-there whispers of "Rotar" to the wobbly unease of "Voltool One" this is a masterclass in minimal elements crafted to perfection. Lose yourself in the slow-creeping snow-crunch of "Hue" and meditate to the gentle housey pulse of "Flare" - at every turn this record presents you with just the kind of subliminal techno that Silent Season so dearly love.

A1. Rotar 
A2. Voltool One
B1. Neptune
B2. Hue
C1. Vector
C2. Outline
C3. Undertone

Samuel van Dijk is an electronic music producer, sound designer and media artist from the Netherlands releasing deep electronic music as VC-118A, Mohlao, and Multicast Dynamics. Drawing inspiration from technology, nature, film, and fiction, his productions and live sets embody a dynamic musical framework. Since the Dutchman surfaced as Mohlao for labels like Meanwhile, Field and Other Heights at the turn of the decade, van Dijkʼs music has found a firm position; the ethereal electro VC-118A project, deep ambient techno as Mohlao, and subterranean ambient as Multicast Dynamics.

Listening to music while travelling is one of the best things to do in life. Bas Dobbelaer and Vand both know this. The Dutch producers label their delicate compositions with titles like ‘Transit’ and ‘Gateway to Gaia’ and travelled to Laren (a small town in beautiful nature) to isolate themselves from the hustle and bustle of hometown Amsterdam. 

They came back with four beautiful tracks which combine floating melodies with soft percussion pads and lukewarm basslines. Just listen to Void (Pulse Mix) and imagine the sun setting behind lined trees while being on a public bus to the one you love. Laren leaves you with a sense of melancholia and longing, which in this case is a wonderful thing.
