Daniel Avery - Magic + Memory [a playlist] - 4

2020 goes on impassively and we are still immersed in outbreaks and freedom restrictions within society, with our two clubs and record store closed due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, our nature of resistance and strong mentality carries over to this second volume. An association of artists related to our collective coming from all corners of the Iberian Peninsula as well as from the Balkans, representing their own personal movements, labels and collectives.

Producer Osill, coming from the Red Home school (Jm.Aboga) takes us into the deep, melancholic and round landscapes of dub techno, perfectly reproducing the most classic canons of the style in “Untitled I”.

The Madrid duo UHF (David Aragón + Milford) board on “Endless Illusion” with the mission of distorting our reality with the blow of a break and show us a crystalline future through a solid mantra of evolving synths and pads surrounded by ethereal melodies.

If the urban elements of a dark near future had a sound representation, they would be a tangible and faithful reflection of "Embrace The Dark Side", a creation by Negocius Man, where he teaches us, through its forcefulness, the implicit beauty of the dark side of any creation.

The love theme of the prom at a robot institute in year 3000 comes from the Kraftwerk inspired euphoric synths and vocoders of Dark Vektor, with whose “Tanzliebe” hits us again with a compendium of a rendered universe typical harmonies.

Large-Scale Aggressor is the new incarnation of Amper Clap, laying the foundation of its new pseudonym with this “Ally or Enemy” and by using thick and frosted broken rhythms, emotional as well as brilliant synths reinforced by post-apocalyptic bass lines and vocals.

Ephemeral unions generate beautiful and authentic products, “Silent Love” synthesizes the power of techno fused with the emotionality of melodic electro, a creation by Mutant Cassette (Jose Sáez + Cascales) where they insufflate this track with an ascending vortex of pure euphoria.

Siarem returns to HC Records with a pure yet evolved EBM reminding us Front 242's best b-sides but with 21st century sharpness and definition, rugged bass-lines and vocals encouraging urban combat.

From Serbia, Alavux lands in Valencia with “Time Shifter 03”. A metallic, rough, mechanical and industrial electro track leaving us without a rest and recorded in a single take where the primary impulse prevails over planning, providing greater strength to the track.

The longest track in the compilation is provided by Abiz Sonko, who over eight minutes develops an emotional but also metallic Techno that converges in a slow-cadence hymn called “Army Of The Broken Souls”.

Mysterious Group drag us once again into the most mechanical and industrialized mud in “200713_0677” where forcefulness, minimalism and a horizon loaded with steam reflect the tireless hammering of Techno.

The most acid and refined vision of the most constructive and current Techno is provided by 9n9u9e9v9e9 in “R.H.P Landing on Thelisto”.

The return to the streets of a near future comes from the hand of Kastelian, Domingo Dark Vinyl’s new pseudonym, in “Ghetto Cyberpunkers”. Dirty breaks, energetic synths with a vintage aroma and a conjunction of old school street voices.

Finally, The Lost Boys’ second appearance is a faithful reflection of the urban, rude and combative present in which we live, which looks back on past times without losing the futuristic and innovative sense of offering what is incompatible in principle. Rap lines, thunderous bass drums, acid synths and 90s memories come together in “Control The Beat”.

OUT NOW: http://lnk.to/JoshuaJamesPH107

A pivotal figure amid London’s queer club continuum, Joshua James follows up an iconic trilogy of releases on Phantasy with a powerful swerve into pure techno with ‘Amber Rush’, complete with a remix by close friend and Phantasy labelmate, Daniel Avery.

Crackling with energy, its pendulous drums reminiscent of The Chemical Brothers in their Battle Weapon mode, Amber Rush’ matches the thunderdome ready scope of a big-room anthem with waves of psychedelic texture. The result is guaranteed rapid-fire synapse tickling within even the best (or worst) adjusted of dedicated rave brains.

Avery’s metallic-tinted reimagining subtly shifts the aesthetic of ‘Amber Rush’, gliding out of the strobe and into the fog. Wisely following the course of undulating euphoria mapped out by James, Avery transforms acid tension into graceful heights and somehow deeper plunges, ultimately settling on a killer groove.

Late Night Approach - Unleashed Bastards [MTRON024]

Perfect Blue

An exciting horizon of textures, landscapes and evanescent worlds, close to a dreamlike experience, are synthesized in Espai, Temps i Materia, the title of the new HC Records reference signed by the Valencian duo Spammerheads, formed by Ana Escudero and David Garrido. An audio-visual project forged in 2019 under the punk concept "do it yourself" in which both sound and graphic creation (videos and covers) have been developed by the duo.

A warm reference formed by seven tracks leaded by the one giving title to the album. Espai, Temps i Materia introduces us to a silky and melodic set of gliding arpeggios intelligently backed by padding and shiny pads, a composition formed in two tempos over ten exciting minutes.

The overwhelming power of Cosmic Lunch hits us in a melodic spiral, where a composition in a continuous in crescendo in which sound layers are added and pushed by a thick and warm bass culminates in a satisfactory interruptus in the final stretch of the song, where that emotionality gives way to an epilogue full of mystery and dark atmospheres.

Singularidad Relativa fits perfectly with the previous track, immersing us in a bubbling oppressive atmosphere, where a pulsating and pungent synth goes by through a forest of smoked crystals and facing mirrors that confuse our senses and infuse us with a certain train atmosphere.

A Small Plot of Nothing is a blinding glow in the dark, where once again Spammerheads bring us closer to a futuristic dance floor in which dominant cadences are allied with an effective rhythmic structure in the key of a broken rhythm that serves as the basis for an immense dance of harmonic chains.

As if we found ourselves under a rain of unknown chemical compounds, Swinging Particles appears to us as a disturbing tubular composition where vibrant hi hats converse with acidic and tumultuous sequences that denote a comforting spiritual sense of unease.

The comeback to the stars converges in Chaos Routine, an oscillating space where sliding musical notes play with jumping and complementary harmonies, keeping total consistency with the general discourse of the sound narration.

The counter-rhythms appear in Beware Out There, closing the album and finishing it off in an exciting and ascending journey in search of a melancholic epic that takes us back to the atmospheres created in the mystery and science fiction series of past decades.

An edition composed of twenty-five cassettes in which we differentiate between the standard edition, where the graphic art is conducted by the neat and advanced design of Dani Requeni performing a creative tandem with Spammerheads and their special edition (five units), created by the musicians themselves, with a spectacular cover that simulates a mineral formation using clay and paint.

Finally, the mastering duties have been carried out in Berlin by Daniel Kyo giving it an unbeatable sound finish.

Cosmic Lunch

"El atardecer  rosado se reflejaba en el mar, el agua permeada de metal dejaba un sabor extraño en la boca. No era sal, no era ningún sabor que hubiese probado antes. Acababa de llegar o llevaba aquí muchos años? Un aterrizaje, un renacer, un comenzar? Debía desprenderme de todo recuerdo, de toda auto enseñanza para poder comenzar. Para poder salir de aquí, de mi, de la trampa que había creado y en la cual caí."
Segundo álbum de Ana Gartner, en esta ocasión en Illegal Alien de México. Este álbum consta de 9 canciones, en español. Dos colaboraciones, "No Entiendo ft Climas Interiores" y "Recordarte ft Antiflvx".

@ctrls plunges head first into a fragmented future of gleaming metallic sound design, crystal clear bass pressure, unreal sonic detail and high-speed sensory hypnotism, soaked in quantum mechanical ambience.

With little resemblance to what’s come before, the Danish producer fiercely mutates forward-thinking electro with machinist bass music into a cold-blooded and carefully programmed record, for the mind and for the floor.

"The 10th release from Budapest's Tapes Sublimating comes from a new local project: Diamond Haze. 
Opener 'Summon' might be the most UK sounding track ever made in this part of Europe. 
Next we got Gnork on board for a remix and we can tell you he is in top form still. 

With the EP's title track 'Reflections' we also got some peak time stuff here. Another new project Hidden Shelter takes us to the deep house territory with their 'Sunday Session Mix'. 
As a Bandcamp and cassette exclusive we have an otherworldly remix from ICR destroying and rebuilding the title track"

Premiere of 'Lay it out' by The Undertaker’s Tapes, taken from Autolysis, forthcoming on Wrong

Prague collective Wrong is proud to present first solo release in their catalogue by Prague-based French producer Léo Hivert aka The Undertaker’s Tapes. His debut album On the Last Day on Area Z label followed by several remixes and contributions to various compilations made him one of the most promising upcoming producer within the EBM and industrial scene. Autolysis is the first in planned series of recordings exploring theme of body and decay. It serves as the opening act focusing on cellular auto-destruction which comes as a mirror to the introspectional work that we have been put through during these doomed times. The Undertaker’s Tapes brings here doze of destruction in diverse approaches: from angry industrial through EBM dance-floor killers to noisy melancholia. 6 original tracks are accompanied by ritualistic heavy collaboration with French producer Incendie and four remixes delivered by EBM machinery Mind Matter, rising Czech techno madman C4AT and two members of Wrong collective HYΛEN and Trauma.

Label: Wrong
Artist:  The Undertaker’s Tapes
Title: Autolysis
Track:  Lay it out
Cat.Number: WT03

Is it live or is it Memorex? This famous tv advert springs to mind when listening to the syncopated snare drums on Aexion. They seem to come from everywhere and feel very much alive, unlike ordinary drum programming. You find Aexion on the brand new Sun Genam EP, which comes hot on the heels of the Angry Gods EP (released last year on Amsterdam label Who's Susan).

Sun Genam is a new alias of a Dutch but now Berlin based producer who also releases music under a different monniker on SoHaSo. Where his previous work tends to lean more to leftfield dancefloors, Sun Genam focuses more on the mind and clearly takes an inward journey. A mysterious track like Pinski4ex awakens the ancient spirits that live in rainforests, while Pink and Blue Squares reports about a hallucinating dream in a chilly vocoder voice.

Just like Aexion, closing track Sensation Green is a much more energetic affair. Both tracks illustrate great craftsmanship when it comes to beat programming and movement within a composition. Sun Genam offers spiritual guidance while the dancefloors remain empty. The right medicine for drifting souls.
