Like many electronic artists, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles spent his early years experimenting with IDM, glitch and dance, but one consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic, humanised sound. Through these experimentations he has found a process of producing electronic music that feels close to this urge. Restricting himself to a small selection of analogue equipment, West engages his hands directly with instruments and is very selective about what he then records into the computer. He reduces musical parts even further, leaving enough space around the sound for it to breath.

‘Odyssey’ is a reflection of West’s quest to create atmosphere and space from minimal arrangements. ‘I don’t like music to sound overly laboured, so I restrict how much is going on. I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of reduction.’ The new 5-track EP was mastered by Naweed and is out on Erased Tapes.

'‘Odyssey’ and ‘Voyager’ are both incredibly stripped down and have a great sense of space throughout them. It's all about using the right ingredients at the right points in time. A lot of these ingredients are short recordings, such as ice cracking, mechanical clicks, clicks from synth errors, sounds of debris, guitar plucks etc., which interact with the simple arrangements and create little hints of rhythm. I also love the technique of swelling in music, but I realised that hardly anyone has done that in electronic music. So when I first got the synth to swell in and out with the opening chords of ‘Philip’, it was a great moment. Because it creates a human mood in a matter of seconds, which is very difficult to do with electronic sounds. That track is very important to me, and I think it will influence how I make music in the future.’ – Ryan Lee West

'Howl' is the new album by Rival Consoles, London-based electronic producer Ryan Lee West, set for release through Erased Tapes on 16th October 2015.

Pre-order it on (Ltd. Red) 2xLP · CD · DL here:
www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP076
or via iTunes: http://snip.ftpromo.net/howl

Foremost a guitarist, growing up listening to rock rather than club music, West continues to strive towards finding a more personal balance between music for home listening and larger spaces. The title track was inspired by the howl-like tones he developed by running synths through guitar pedals. 

"By slowly drifting the pitch through distortion and delays, the result sounded like vocal cries – something which was perfect for the song and this inspired me to take on a darker set of tones across the whole album. It was made over the past few years, inspired by capturing small performances on synths, touring with some of my musical heroes, playing with feedback when I should have been catching a train, sampling my voice in unexpected conditions and recording textures in different countries.” 

The album explores a wide range of emotions; from the dissonance eruptions and primal rhythms in 'Howl', to the mournful improvisations of '3 Laments', which features a sample of his own voice. Alongside his performances on Moog, Prophet, tape delay and guitar, West enlisted the help of drummer Fabian Prynn for ‘Low’ and cellist Peter Gregson for ‘Walls’, both long-time collaborators of Erased Tapes peers Douglas Dare and Michael Price.

"This album features a lot of my own recordings, rather than simply using samples that I have sitting on my computer. This gives the album a more personal feeling, which is very important to me because I think we live in a time where there is just so much recorded material out there, and accessible at a click of a button, that the joy of recording your own drum sounds, your own percussion, your own claps, seems redundant – but it’s not! That should be a priority because its often more interesting and makes you choose a different creative path."
 
It’s rarely reported that Rival Consoles was Erased Tapes' very first signing, with a CDR of early demos under the name Aparatec that inspired founder Robert Raths to start the label. Indeed West has more in common with his contemporaries Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick than some might think. His consistent desire to create a more organic, humanised sound sees West often draft early ideas on traditional, acoustic instruments like the guitar or the piano; forming pieces that capture a sense of songwriting behind the electronics. 

"I try to create atmosphere and mood throughout with a less-is-more approach to composition. I'm always trying to find an exciting reaction from a few ingredients, because that is magic to me. To make something interesting with tons of layers of effects just doesn't excite me. But to make something interesting with just three layers requires a special alignment of sounds, ideas and timing. This is my most personal work to date, following on from 'Odyssey' and 'Sonne' which gave me the confidence to continue exploring my own ideas and approach to sound. The essence of this album was made with a few synths, some guitar pedals and lots of cups of tea. I hope you’ll enjoy it."
 
Having repeatedly performed at such prestigious venues as the Tate, and having created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A Museum, the blueprint for West’s current live A/V show was formed. Featuring self-programmed visuals in Max/MSP has earned him appearances at music festivals around the world including Mutek, Decibel, Big Ears and Berghain’s Pop-Kultur Festival, as well as tours in support of Clark, Nosaj Thing, Luke Abbott and Kiasmos.

October 2015 will see West perform Rival Consoles debut headline shows in the UK, followed by North America and Europe mainland dates throughout the winter months.

Legowelt has been putting other house and techno producers to shame since the the 1990s.

The Dutch artist releases music at a rate of knots – there’s been at least nine albums under the Legowelt name alone now, and he has over 30 different aliases, all of which interact in weird, wonderful ways. His music has appeared on labels as disparate as Unknown to the Unknown and Cocoon, and he’s got a reputation as a real studio wizard – not only due to the hardware in the studio, but the sample packs and plugins that he gives out for free online. On top of that, he’s about as unpretentious as it’s possible to get.

Here 'Institute Of The Overmind', which was made live in a session filmed for FACT TV, gets the vinyl treatment backed with a monster 90s trance re-work from Photonz, of which we exclusively premiere here today.

The sound delivered by Photonz on his DJ sets and productions blends the bold, romantic side of rave's original spirit with a new sound carved borrowing from experimental music and psychedelia. The result is a unique signature that has gained support from key figures of the electronic music scene like Legowelt, Ben UFO, DJ TLR, Jackmaster and Ivan Smaghe.

Since his debut in 2006 with "Ronin", Photonz has released on labels such as Dissident, Dirty, R-Zone, and Unknown To The Unknown. The latter put out some his best work, with the EP "Hurt Me Hurt Me" getting a 10/10 review in DJ Mag and the track "1551" being played in Jackmaster's first ever BBC Essential Mix appearance.

"Institute of the Overmind" is available 20 November on UTTU_FACT

APRIL 22

The fourth law of Metaphysix is titled Cause & Effect, which refers to a universal law that states “there is no chance“—in other words, the universe is all connected through causation. In this series, we look at the relationship between artists and their influences of each other and the label.  We invited our close friends to take part of this compilation. 

This is the Ultramajic Cause & Effect: Six club producers from around the world translating similar musical ideas through cultural barriers. Label boss Jimmy Edgar finds a common ground with Detroit talent, Crystal Bandito, and Chicago’s legendary Traxman in rigid acid drum workouts & TB-303 drenched in vinyl dust. The mysterious name on the track list, on the other hand—Ecrylic—is none other than the artist formerly known as P.O.L. Style.  Last but not least, newcomer Phil Kieran tops of the release with his loudest track “Beat Flow”

RS2000

Limited edition (300 copies worldwide) 12" vinyl in shrink-wrapped printed sleeve with paper inner.
