BASE

For the next release on Early Reflex we welcome Frankfurt-based producer and composer Lorica (formerly known as Avbvrn), following his debut EP on Display and a split on Destitute.

Lorica filters a surgical attention to detail and sound design through a wide-scope approach to atmosphere and the spatial qualities of music. The resulting work conjures up dramatic, vivid, and tactile sonic landscapes that recall classical forms and techniques, while drawing upon contemporary textures and approaches to rhythm and memory.
Inspired by renaissance arts and their creative process ‘Adaptive Radiation’ [EYX005] stretches further Lorica’s experimental and oblique musical approach to the club-focused context of Early Reflex. The result is a 5-track EP blending cinematic sound design with traces of dubstep, drill, dancehall, trap, and more which is going to hit the listeners both physically and emotionally!

The opener ‘Baikal Rediscovered’ is a great example of Lorica’s production style where the composer blends together orchestral and atmospheric pads with incessant grimey beats and a deep bass-line making it a suitable tool for the club.
A storm of otherworldly sounds in contrast with its trapp inspired rhythmic session protrude in ‘Ochre Skeleton’ originating a surrealistic and peculiar atmosphere.
Approaching the end of the first half of the EP there is ‘Petrified Butterfly’, a dreamy and spooky interlude where synthesised flute melodies, fast-paced percussions and effected field recordings repeat and alternate themselves continuously while evolving every time differently in a never-ending loop until every sound dissolves in empty reverberated spaces.
Entering the second half of the release, listeners get hit by the drilling kick drum and the twisting sound design of ‘Sodiumglanz’, which lead to the closure of the EP.
In ‘Breccia’ Lorica explores further his blend of cinematic effects with the pronounced attitude for the club, delivering a track characterised by pitch-shifting electronic percussions and the harmonic progression of orchestrated instruments and strings.

‘Adaptive Radiation’ is available across all platforms starting from Friday 5th of November.

Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3GP95nA

After releasing the very tense and politically charged Flowers Of The Revolution album on SVBKVLT, Nahash returns home to France for an EP on POLAAR.

Tides talk about ebb and flow. It is also a symbol for what is taken. When the tide is high on the shore of Western Europe it is low in Haiti. When nations are impoverished in western Africa, wealth is created on the east coast of the USA. Tides continues with Nahash's brand of anti-imperialist electronic destruction, taking tempos faster as we come closer to extinction-level events.

The sounds of this EP works in contrast between heavy drum sound and airy pads and synths sounds mashing together into a sort of mutant Jungle music built from recycled drum loops and 2nd hand Trance CD samplers.

Nahash is joined on two tracks by a prominent French player of the 160-game, SNKLS (@snakeleserpent), who blends his supple modular textures and abstract vision into the nostalgic rave atmosphere of the EP.

Limited edition of 55 C34 tapes with on-body printing pro-dubbed by Headless Duplicated Tapes.

"The album is a poignant snapshot of the state of electronic music as of 2020, inspired by the weight of hardcore subcultures being rediscovered, subconscious pop culture references, reflections on economic, political, and social structures in a hopeless search for meaningful communitarian experiences, glittering social anxiety, dystopian paranoia, and much much more." (https://soundcloud.com/paynomindtous)

"adammmmmmmmmmmm's album is a multifaceted, dense complete piece, using processed dance floor idioms, sharp granular sound design and some very unusual sample selection ranging from euphoric trance to bratty pop punk/sad boys vocals. It’s wild af and we hope you will like it as much as we do." (https://soundcloud.com/mixmag-1)

“adammmmmmmmmmmm’s new album fuses euphoric dance music arpeggios and vocal snippets that were wrenched from the pop-punk autotune-emo-sad-boy continuum at an advanced point of synthesis." (https://soundcloud.com/pw-magazine)

In "ok im real i think" (GEN041), adammmmmmmmmm plays a high-stakes game of far-reaching density, acceleration and saturation. Instantly blasting off, this album is a showcase in extreme kick drum technology, a detuned synth stab pandaemonium, a granular fission chamber full of dense clicking sounds, seemingly originating from some digital slime dimension. This notion of saturation is not just in reference to the in-your-face full spectrum sound approach, a conceptual saturation procedure is notably at play too, via euphoric dance music arpeggios and vocal snippets snatched somewhere on an advanced synthesis point of the pop punk-autotune emo-sad boy continuum. This way, a high velocity sense of conceptual concentration is obtained, with extreme stretching modes resulting in chipmunk chatterings and source material skrewed beyond all decent reason. But don't let these suggestions of multiplicity and apparent incongruence create the illusion this is just a particularly goofy and extreme collage exercise: relentless energy and coherent construction lift this up to the level of an alluring complete entity.

// adammmmmmmmmmmm (https://soundcloud.com/helllllllllo) about the album
“ok im real i think is an affectively charged tangle of sounds that fabulates fragmented worlds, reminding us that the individual is a product of the collective. The intimate energy manifested through the natural-physical-virtual-digital materialization of sound finds its way into your ears, skull, body and mind. adammmmmmmmmmmm invites you to decompose into its eclectic, collective nature and dissociate so that we can heal together. We are closer than we think, close your eyes, and let these tracks massage you until you decay.”

// https://soundcloud.com/galentipton about the cover design
“The piece depicts a figure baptized in collective chaos, simultaneously emerging from and dissolving into this raw emotional energy. I wanted to capture the maximalism and drama of the project and how overwhelming yet grounded it is; a vat of healing acid for the listener to sink into and find peace in being one with the storm.”

As one of the spearheads of the new wave of dance music in the Yugosphere, Warrego Valles have been an intense and consistent, albeit underrated presence on the global postclub waterfront throughout the last couple of years. Employing their trademark hi-def drum ballistics and digital trance stabs, their newest piece is a restless rework of the original: ravenous beats and quirky melodic motifs colliding into each other within a glued framework of jerky dynamics, with a cranked-up treatment of the vocal sample and an added hint of emotion lacking from Cuban’s original to underscore their idiosyncratic hardcore sentiments.
