B1 VRIL - Tasche Voller Regen

Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

XSIXXIX love for music began in childhood, inspired by a music-obsessed uncle and cousin who introduced her to techno, electro, and house. After years of digging for tracks and exploring new sounds, this passion naturally evolved into DJing.
Her sound consists of melancholic, hypnotic, and groovy techno, acts as both a form of self-expression and emotional release. For XSIXXIX, mixing music feels like writing a sound diary, each set tells a story, driven by mood and energy.
While everyday life is fast-paced and unpredictable, DJing offers a calm, creative space to experiment and slow down. XSIXXIX draws inspiration from genre blending, minimalism and sonic experimentation.

In Volume 1, we’re taking you deep into the forest. Beat Pharmacy brings an eerie, dusty atmosphere that ushers you in from the very first second. You’ll enter, not knowing if there’s an exit, because honestly, you won’t care. And that’s because Mikkel Metal Actress is your guide now. After achieving these great heights, Deepnaut will bring you back to earth, where time is irrelevant. Then in rolls a storm called Pulshar. But you’ll find a shelter where you can enjoy nature’s fury unharmed. The time has come to return to your present reality, but not until OZ offers you a ceremonial dance with all the spirits of the woods. You’ll feel really good. And the best part is that you can come back anytime you want.

Deepnaut - Jah Is My Driver

Andy Stott has developed a unique sound since his debut for the Modern Love label back in 2005. His first demos were heavily influenced by the square-bassline techno variations of labelmate Claro Intelecto. His restless shift from traditional Techno and House blueprints through to the bottom-heavy signatures of Dubstep and the steppers arrangements of Garage have also placed him at the forefront of the dubstep/techno hybrid sounds that have continued to dominate the electronic music scene since 2008. This compilation brings together selected tracks dating back to Andy Stott's debut back in 2005 and reaching all the way to his most recent material.
