Exactly one year after my 2022 release entitled 'Agitation Propaganda', I return with a collection of new tracks that were produced between the middle of 2022 and early 2023. This 20-track album, as the title suggests, is a tribute to the love affair that I have with making music. In 2023 I celebrate my 40th birthday so I thought it was good timing to release a concept album that pays homage to the one true love that I've ever known- Synthesis ♥️

This album, as with the last, relies heavily on the sounds of classic synthesizers/drum machines like Mono/Poly, MS-20, SH-101, Jupiter-8, Juno-106, SH-2, JX-8P, System 100, Juno 60, JX-3P, TB-303, Polysix, TR-606, OB-8, TR-808, ARP Odyssey, as well as some contemporary additions to my studio like Hydrasynth, System 8, MC-707, MicroFreak, Prophet Rev2, Novation Peak, Minilogue, SE-02, and Microkorg.

The artwork for the album was done by the brilliant artist Kelly Gilleran, who also just so happens to be my long-term girlfriend. She is a pattern designer, painter, and illustrator. Her work can be found here: www.kellygilleran.redbubble.com/

A majority of the songs on this album were recorded in only one take in my home studio and recorded to high-quality video as well. The same recordings heard on this album can be seen performed live on YouTube. www.youtube.com/@JohanSebastianBot/videos

DVS NME is the man behind the weekly radio show/daily blog called 'Dark Science Electro' and has been a dedicated contributor to the Electro community for the last 13 years. I share my love of Electro music by posting Electro-affiliated news, art, mixes, albums, memes, concerts, tracks, gear, and more. This album is available for $16 USD on Bandcamp.

A Love Letter To Synthesis

DVS NME - Market Manipulation

xart5013526424

Drumfunk/braindance don dgoHn (John Cunnane) returns to Love Love for a collaborative 4 track EP, ‘Talk To The Planets’, alongside avant-garde experimentalist Danish friend Oliver Duckert. Oliver is an electronic evangelist and founding member of chameleonic cyberjazz group Badun, created in Århus, Denmark, but often found tuning in and out of the space-time hyperlink. John who needs no introduction at this point makes his first appearance on the label since widely-lauded 2020 album ‘Undesignated Proximate’ and follow-up 2022 remix project which featured an array of peers such as Skee Mask, Djrum, Meat Beat Manifesto and Equinox. 

What results here is a bubbling platter of otherworldly sound design full of warmth (and the slickest drum-work going!) that fully imbibes both artists’ individual songwriting sensibilities, striking a curious balance between organic improvisation and meticulously detailed programming. 

Sonically the EP could be described as hi-resolution psychedelic drum n bass as much as it could alien future-jazz, detailed and rich with mad grooves just beneath the surface. Structurally the tracks are unpredictable but not jarring, with a free-flowing quality and a pace that feels like meandering at lightspeed. Way too immersive for casual listening, this is music for getting lost in the stars. Like using arcane beat science at a ruffneck drum circle to astral project through the multiverse.

I7HVN - Hold My Hand

Recue is the creative outlet of Riku Annala, a Helsinki based producer exploring the left field of electronic music. Recueʼs earliest recordings date back to the early 2000s and his genre-fluid approach to music has led to work with labels like Touched Music and Detroit Underground. Recueʼs work often features collaborative elements and heʼs had the pleasure to work with artists such as Robot Koch, Jamie Lidell, Julien Marchal and Jesse Markin either through direct features in his solo material or through remixing their work. His music has also served as the backdrop for theater and TV productions, one being the travel series Madventures.
His latest body of work Tensegrity has been released through the Finnish record label Signal Life, and it delves into converting non-linear storytelling devices from literature and cinema into the musical realm by dismantling static tempo completely.
Especially for our podcast Recue has recorded a wonderful mix of both released and unreleased tracks.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- It's difficult to pinpoint artists that have influenced me the most, but there are a lot of artists whose work has resonated with me throughout the years, and I'm sure each of them have contributed to my work in some way. Artists like Lorn, Hecq, Amon Tobin, Jon Hopkins, Machinedrum and Arca each have their own sound that has inspired me in some ways, not to mention classics like Aphex Twin and the whole period of 90s rave and IDM music that I grew up with.
 
What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- I have few collaborations in the making, that I'll leave unnamed at this point, and the mix also includes some unreleased work, that might see an official release in the near future. I'm also prepping more of the non-linear music, that I did with Tensegrity EP last year.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- The mix provides a good cross section of some of the inspiration I've been feeling, but to mention some specifically, the genre fluid aesthetic of Signal Life and Analogical Force, both of which I've released music on lately, is something that I've been feeling. Also Prague based label Yuku is pushing boundaries in a direction that I find really interesting.

What inspires you now to create music?

- Basically the same thing that's kept me going over the years: Because it's fun. I like the creative process, finding out and learning new things. Breaking the linearity of electronic music in Tensegrity EP was an extra pinch of inspiration, since it brought a completely new angle on creating. I want to continue that and see where it leads.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- I have a studio full of synths and samplers, but the brain of everything is Ableton Live. I could get rid of all the hardware and still be able to make music with it. Not that I'd want to though! Hardware can be tons of fun as well.
