Slowfoam | HÖR | Feb 20 2023

Now in its tenth year, Frankfurt-based record label Die Orakel has earned itself a strong catalogue of classy releases in a distinct sonic and visual attitude, its latest being a compilation called Braindance. 

A fair assumption about Braindance as a genre could be, that it's rather in the zone of kaleidoscopic and whimsical quirktronica, less about IDM's futurist tropes. From Die Orakel's point of view, its very own Braindance compilation marks the label's tenth anniversary by releasing an intense listener's atlas, to its own and their creative collaborators' musical slant of mind.

While much could be said about spectral traces of a leftfield past, nostalgia isn't heard anywhere. The more you listen to this selection, the deeper the tracks plug into your brain—stretching from ethereal harmonic licks rippling with fragile glitches, bleepy to bass-heavy electroid steppers of any BPM range, to abstract-scientific neo-modular artistry. 

Die Orakel's Braindance transmission can be had as a 15-track digi-release, as well as a 4-track vinyl EP. Pick either for your library of the future.

Drum Jump

We jump in a Chevy convertible at high noon and tune the radio into the storm clouds rolling on the horizon. Then we set off for the border town on the edge of the desert, peyote and dreamcatchers in the trunk, slide guitar and spring tank on the back seat.

But as the highway stretches out to the vanishing point, and the radio relays a steady motorik pulse amid the cosmic noise, the tumbleweeds begin to roll upwards and the cacti at the side of the road bend to the sky. Radio static gives way to an interplanetary narration, all detuned notes and swirling codes. It was then that we realised the receiver was wide open, and the signal was set to solar broadcast on wavelength infinity.

All music written, performed & recorded by Ernestas Kausylas, except bass on A3 by Vainius Indriūnas, bass on B2 by Vilius Lengvinas, drums on B3 by Martynas Stoškus & Saxophone on B3 by Danielius Pancerovas

Time Is Away - turn on arabic radio oscura (Muslimgauze & SSIEGE)

Intertoto - Isostar

Basho

This compilation unites music from Mutant Radio’s friends and residents, with all proceeds directly supporting political prisoners, their families, and activists across different regions of Georgia. The struggle continues until every political prisoner is freed and new elections take place.

Whether on the streets, in our space, or through the airwaves, we remain firmly alongside the movement. Without true freedom, creativity is silenced, culture fades, and Mutant Radio cannot exist.

We extend our gratitude to our friends and residents for their unwavering support and for sharing their music in these challenging times for Georgia.

Special thanks to TBZ and Alex Michalski for their invaluable contribution to mastering.

Trystero - Che Cosa Dicono

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-box5ive-deli

Brussels-based @initiate_concept is set to release ‘Dying Angel’, the latest release from London’s @box_5ive. Where his previous album ‘Grey Space’ fused strands of bass music with lush ambient, ‘Dying Angel’ veers further into liminal dreamscapes. It offers a sonic gateway to serene zones that envelope you in luxuriant synths.

Dying Angel

Box5ive - Deli [Initiate Records]

The Way Of Time takes loose inspiration from Elizabeth Madox Roberts’ novel The Time Of Man, sampling Joan Lorring’s voice from the 1951 radio play adaptation of the novel.
Biosphere’s signature ambient loops, soothing arctic synths and melodies combine with Lorring’s sweet, wistful and deep-south wonderings to create a record that is both deeply human and searching.
