Mantissa Premieres

Amsterdam based molecular biologist, producer and rising talent Teqmun debuts on Flippen Bits with five bits of his warm and uncannily organic sound. 

Organic Oscillations EP is a fresh blend of melancholic IDM, dreamy vocal chops, punchy rhythms and playful break-beat techno. The perfect representation of Teqmun’s approach to music: Energetic, highly emotional and musically wide-open, willing to take inspiration from all realms of contemporary music.
To complete the pack Pariah joins the party and delivers an excellent wobbling roller remix.

The nature inspired track titles of the EP establish a connection between the tracks and the organic world. 
The term - oscillations - refers to the rhythmic, wave-like patterns found in various biological processes such as the beating of a heart or the swaying of plants in the wind. Organic Oscillations suggests that the music captures the essence of these natural patterns, creating a sonic experience that resonates with the organic world.

While Aphid Walk refers to the infrastructural challenges and solutions of the insect world, Parachute Kernel is a seed that has developed a specific structure that allows for it to be carried by the wind. Balsa parallels the sounds of the track with the features of a kind of wood that goes by the same name: it’s one of the lightest woods we know yet incredibly solid. Blossom reminisces the different stages of a flower while developing (just like the track) and And Nettle Dweller, well, you have to be really brave to want to live on stinging nettles, rather appropriate to the stingy track that it is.

Organic Oscillations EP

FLIPPEN BITS 004 Teqmun - Organic Oscillations EP SNIPPETS

The release in 1995 of wipE'out'', a lightning-fast, razor-sharp, futuristic racing game that helped to launch the PlayStation in Europe and North America, changed video games industry. Equally striking was the game’s original music, which came from Welsh musician Tim Wright, aka CoLD SToRAGE, mixing the accelerated beats of drum & bass with the pure synth rush of trance to make music that sounded as breathlessly exciting as playing the game felt. 

The second single of the timeless wipE'out'' - The Zero Gravity Soundtrack presents two of the most iconic tunes of the score, the original intro track of the video game and the speedy 'DOH-T'. The package is completed with two masterful remixes by Planet Mu's founder μ-Ziq, aka Mike Paradinas (@mikep), and the braindance producer @wordcolour.

------------------

General Blurb:

Back in the 1990s video games were still largely seen as nerdy: fun, sure, but basically a guilty pleasure that you’d soon grow out of. The release in 1995 of wipE'out'', a lightning-fast, razor-sharp, futuristic racing game that helped to launch the PlayStation in Europe and North America, changed all that. This was a game that looked and sounded both adult and cool, the kind of game you would put on display in your living room, rather than hide away under your bed. Key to this was the fact that wipE'out'' borrowed unashamedly from the clubbing experience and electronic music, in a way that put it at the heart of progressive mid 90s culture. It soon became a phenomenon.

wipE'out'' looked sensational, with Sheffield agency The Designers Republic - known for their work with Warp - creating the visuals, packaging and manual for the game, drawing heavily on the bright colours and excitable geometric shapes of the rave and club flyers of the early 90s.

wipE'out'' also sounded like a new rave dream. The European version of the game included music from The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield and Orbital, the kind of fashionable game syncs that were almost unheard of at the time. Equally striking was the game’s original music, which came from Welsh musician Tim Wright, aka @coldstorage, by this point already a veteran in the video games world, having worked on the music for Amiga titles such as Lemmings and Shadow of the Beast 2. His music for wipE'out'' was, if anything, even more extreme than the big-name syncs, mixing the accelerated beats of drum & bass with the pure synth rush of trance to make music that sounded as breathlessly exciting as playing the game felt.

These tracks were burned into the brains of millions of gamers; the soundtrack to a generation of late-night anti-gravity racing, as the sun gingerly rose beyond the curtains. But they haven’t, perhaps, quite got the respect they deserve, something that this release will address. In 2023, video game music is finally getting its dues; here, remastered and repackaged –and also remixed by cutting edge producers such as Kode9, μ-Ziq, Brainwaltzera, Simo Cell, Wordcolour, James Shinra, Surgeons Girl and Dattassette– are some of the most important, thrilling, innovative and most fun songs ever committed to game release.

After Hours w. Fade - October 2023

i am cured [Pure Again club edit]

Packed full of low frequency energy, sci-fi synth tones and rich sonic textures, Off-Switch Audio are happy to present Minister for Loneliness, the second full-length EP from Yahoo Yahoo Training School.

Stilleben Mit iPhone 14 Pro, the third track on the EP, is one for the late night doom-scrollers. Emotive arps create a sense of sadness and reflection, and a satisfyingly smooth sustained bass rolls beneath, grounding everything with a steady foundation. Mehmet uses a masterful combo of rhythm, space and bass to create a moody and immersive atmosphere of isolation.

Release Date: 24th November 2023

SSS (Spooky Scary Sunday) (Prod.Xixen)

The field was empty and bare but for a small patch of colour and greenery in the far corner. Here the wild flowers grew amidst what was otherwise a bitter and barren landscape. They were a radiant showcase of pinks and purples, reds and yellows, blues and oranges. Stood beside the small flower bed he looked backwards towards the city from where he had came, it was a collection of dense grey and black shadows in the hazy glow of the late afternoon sun. It was bleak out here but for the tiny patch, it was all that was left of colour in this world. 

Baroque Sunburst is a relatively new record label moving with a quick pace and a keen ear. The label is set to release a new EP from Soreab and it's an interesting, pensive affair.
