DECENNIUM32 - Kodah (Natural Selection, FOLD)

Bringing our DECENNIUM series to a worthy finale, is our co-founder and longstanding resident, Michael Silmon aka Kodah.

From our inception in Newcastle Upon Tyne in 2010, and since our London journey began in 2012, @kodah has gained a reputation for his impeccable curation and has frequently brought the most cutting-edge lineups to some of the best club venues in London, most notably @foldldn where a strong family bond has been formed, and where he has found his true, spiritual home in London, both as an external promoter / curator, but also now as a resident DJ. Kodah has always maintained an uncompromising adherence to our firm policy of underground electronic music, bridging the heavier spectrum of Techno, Electro, Acid, etc. with new style and form, whilst always paying homage and striving to immortalise the traditional and original roots from which we have grown.

Kodah brings the same wide-ranging musical knowledge and passion for warped, hard-hitting electronics to his productions and he is now firmly cementing his status in the London underground. Recent years have seen Kodah play amongst heavyweights in the Techno and Electro scenes, that include; The Advent, Regis, The Fear Ratio, Speedy J, Kamikaze Space Programme, Claro Intelecto, Conforce, The Exaltics, Scan 7, Developer, DJ Skull, Sterac, E.R.P. & many more.

For this exclusive DECENNIUM mix, Kodah did what he does best and what himself and Natural Selection have gained notoriety for; meticulously and successfully weaving together diverse Electronic forms, some of which would not normally be attempted. As usual the result is a unique and radiant journey of sound, which captivated us for it’s entirety.

DECENNIUM - Kodah (Natural Selection, FOLD)

First mix I've ever recorded! A bit of slop here and there, still figuring out beatmatching by ear on the fly, but overall I'm happy with how it came out. A few #bigblends I was proud of, still working on perfecting that timing and getting tracks seamlessly overlaid upon one another. 

An exploration of different tunes I've been enjoying, mostly electro with some techno, acid, breaks, and glitch thrown in. I hop around a lot between timbral styles which I think makes for some interesting incongruities between tracks. Hopefully this makes you dance and feel things.

Press Release:
James Young steps up for his first release on QRUK with the Nagasaki EP, a dark and driving UKG cut that leans into the moodier edges of Garage and Speedy G. The North Wales-based producer has already made waves with House releases on labels like Smashin Trax and Pogo House, but this new EP sees him pushing into heavier, more dancefloor-focused territory. Nagasaki is packed with chopped-up drums, eerie textures and a tough low-end that hits hard. 

On remix duties is Kabo Cana, returning to the label after making a big impression with his debut I DON'T UNDERSTAND. His take on Nagasaki flips the original into a more club-ready, 90s inspired roller full of sub pressure and tight percussion. It's another strong showing from the Manchester-based producer who's quickly becoming an exciting name in the new wave of UKG.

Unravel

𝙅𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Lai Raw - Foda [𝙅𝙖𝙙𝙚]

▼ PRESS NOTE ▼▼▼ 

Alkaline is sound forged in FM — metallic surfaces, syncopated pulses, and cinematic structures. An alternative path that doesn’t reject acid, but moves into a realm less warm, more mineral, more futuristic. 

With CT012, Cosmic Tribe takes the Alkaline Sound into the uncharted: music as a tool for deep-space and hidden-dimension exploration. Each track is a fragment of an expedition beyond known frontiers — charting invisible territories, intercepting signals from other worlds, and navigating encounters that alter the course of the mission. 

From EC13 and Calagad 13 comes a radical, visionary approach: not just tracks to hear, but cinematic sonic devices designed to remodel the listener’s inner architecture, ignite their imagination, and expand the very map of perception.  

A work of meticulous sound and mastering, paired with exceptional artwork, presented in a strictly limited edition of 150 copies on crystal-clear transparent vinyl.

Nataraja

Acclaimed UK electronic musician Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug, King Midas Sound) releases a stunningly powerful rescore of Andrei Tarkovsky’s seminal 1972 movie Solaris on Phantom Limb.

In May 2020, British musician Kevin Martin was invited by the Vooruit arts centre in Gent, Belgium to compose a new score for a film of his choice. Having been long inspired by pioneering Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, Martin tells us that his 1972 masterpiece Solaris was the “natural choice”. The film is an unattested giant, not only of science fiction and Soviet film, but also in the annals cinematic history. And its original score, composed by regular Tarkovsky collaborator and early Soviet electronic musician Eduard Artemyev, is a magnificent work of haunting majesty, a key element to the film’s brilliance. Martin’s challenge was great: “it was with a certain amount of trepidation I stepped into such large footprints,” he writes.

The results - an all new score entitled Return to Solaris - are breathtaking. The film is intense, psychologically devastating and bleakly compelling. Interweaving themes of love, horror, sorrow, nostalgia, memory and dystopia, Martin’s score expertly mirrors this expansive breadth of psychic weight, from existential dread to heartbreaking poignancy, with immense emotional gravity. Drawn to its “narrative struggle between organic, pastoral memories of a lost past, and the harsh, dystopian realities of a futuristic hell,” Martin employs atonal noise, simmering waves of distorted synthesis, undulating drones and otherworldly, astronomic sound-design to crushing effect. Subtly submerged recurring motifs - reflections of individual characters - rise and fall amidst the fog, occasionally illuminating the doom like motes of starlight, before settling back into the density of space.

Album opener “Theme for Kris'' begins with a shimmering, alien tone, mimicking a disembodied, metallic choralsong that creeps and snakes about an unsettling frequency range. Ghosts aboard a deserted space station. The hissing, technological dystopia of subsequent track “Solaris'' sends evaporating torrents of steam through bulging, clanging, echoing chords, while later on the record, “In Love With A Ghost” revisits these same passages of seething doom, but now refocused into billowing, droning clouds of noise.

Determined that his score should retain the eerie, dreamlike mood of the film and authenticity to its era and origin, Kevin mined his analogue lab for suitable instruments and recording equipment, favouring antiquated, hands-on hardware over computer-based production techniques. With Voorhuit’s help, he acquired an original Pulsar 23 drum machine, created by cult Russian synth builders SOMA Laboratory. Appropriately, much of his rescore is centred around its spectral, strung-out sounds.

The project represents many firsts for Kevin: his first commissioned soundtrack; his first composition to picture; his first work in his new Belgian home after a move from Berlin; his first live performance to film screening. On completion, he performed Return to Solaris to picture over sold out two nights in October 2020, in the beautiful Voorhuit concert theatre of Gent, Belgium. And, with huge personal significance, this was his first public performance of the Covid era. He performed to a socially distanced crowd, many of whom unaware of his existing profile, “which made the rapturous reception and incredible feedback to the performance all the more memorable,” he writes.

Tarkovsky’s Solaris won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival and was screened for an incredible fifteen years uninterrupted in the Soviet Union. It is placed highly in “greatest movies of all time” lists published by Empire and the BBC, among others. Steven Soderburgh directed a Hollywood remake in 2002, starring George Clooney, and scored by Cliff Martinez.
