Harmonic Beats

Floating Points — Montparnasse

Crustation were a short-lived trip-hop group with ties to Portishead and Massive Attack; their 1997 single "Flame" was a perfectly nice, totally innocuous, and mostly forgettable contribution to the drowsy downbeat catalog. The journeymen producers Mood II Swing put their characteristically light, funky touch on a club-friendly remix of the song, as they did hundreds of times during their run as New York's most dependable remixers. But Mood II Swing also had a murkier, more abstracted side; you can hear it in productions like "Move Me," "The Slippery Track," and the eerie "Inhale," which sounds like Gary Numan's "Cars" being sucked through a Teflon wormhole. But they outdid themselves on the "Borderline Insanity Dub" of "Flame," lacing a skipping, proto-U.K.-garage beat with hiccupping vocal loops and a lithe, shadowboxing bass line; the icing on the cake comes courtesy of a swirling fog of vocal harmonies that pans from speaker to speaker. Running out of phase with the beat, it lends a sense of tidal ebb-and-flow, throwing the time deliriously out of joint. The fact that Mood II Swing never produced anything else quite like it only makes this fluid, enveloping tune all the more irreplaceable. P.S.

After appearing on the debut compilation for the new Boys Noize concept label ONES AND ZEROS, ADAME DJ comes to Boysnoize Records to release his ROLÊ EP, the first Brazilian funk release for the stalwart label. ADAME DJ hails from Cachoeiro De Itapemirim in Espírito Santo and represents the more avant-garde, electronic music-oriented side of a genre that has exploded in recent years, not only in popularity but in distinct styles. Despite the short run time, the ROLÊ EP compresses an incredible amount of diversity in rhythms, textures, and samples into its four tracks, taking listeners and DJs alike on a sonic trip that’s full of surprises.

Opener “Movimento Na Favela,” featuring MC Rafa 22, kicks off with a 4/4 gabber kick and is quickly joined by bitcrushed snares and chopped vocals. The track remains sparse in elements, but punches hard with an absolutely nasty bass hit, making it the perfect tool for steering the mood into heavier territory.

“Techno 2” follows with MC Morena and MC Reizen on the mic, and as the title suggests, is as ready for Berlin clubs as it is for Brazil raves. With a sinister 303 line as its anchor, the track warps and shifts between funk rhythms, 4/4, and shuffled patterns, punctuated by micro-builds that keep raising the tension across its 2:30 runtime.

“Pokpok” is perhaps the most delirius of the tracks, mutating through a multi-genre maze with unexpected twists and turns. Looped and stuttering vocals from MC PR are accented by vicious donks and crunchy drums in a funk pattern, before the track switches to a mysterious vocoder melody with MC Thaizinha singing the topline. Like the great reveal of a magic trick, “Pokpok” suddenly drops into a deliciously dark disco house groove detourned with ring-modulated percussion before reprising its distorted opening. The dancefloor is left dizzy and ecstatic.

The EP closes with a massive heater, “Pagode Do Adame,” with MC DA FRANÇA and MC HENRY. Opening with a terrifying pitch-bending saw wave, aggressive rapping rides escalating chirps before a sample-chopped fake-out gives way to a raucously bouncy, shark attack drop. A second breakdown follows with haunting, cinematic atmosphere. With the help of the MCs, the track swells with such fury that the drop, despite its minimalism, might start a mosh-pit.

In an ever more open-format era, ADAME DJ’s ROLÊ EP is worthy of any party and every crate, ready for the moment to switch it up and turn it up.

In just three years, Berlin-based DJ and producer Valerie Ace has released six EPs plus a few extra tracks on just as many labels. One can say she has a natural talent, but an unnatural talent would be more fitting. Valerie Ace makes machine music—dark, industrial, groovy techno—at machine pace with machine precision. For her first Boysnoize Records release, Ace delivers six cracking tracks on her Escape the Algorithm EP, reflecting the aggressive sound of the techno capital’s young underground.

The EP opens with “Do It Again” (145 bpm), a dizzying track that pumps through layers of pitch bending texture. Ace flexes her command of timbre with hallucinatory punctuations of alien insects and screeching tires that scream as if alive. “The Algo Made Me Do It” (150 bpm) follows with a swift gallop. Here, an organ synth melody drives the arrangement along a rollercoaster of builds and drops, with Ace’s synthetic-organic accents throughout. The abstraction of human voices into mechanistic noise seems to be an Ace signature, and feature heavily on “In an Ideal World” (144 bpm). This is a fully locked in, beats-replace-brain, ego-death-on-the-dancefloor track that takes control of the body and hypnotises with otherworldly chatter. Escape the Algorithm continues with a full mix and tool version of “Scan Code To Unlock Heart” (144 bpm), a rattling runner with a totally infectious horror film whistle that morphs from sample to synth. Ace’s polyrhythms rip, with toms banging a tribal groove and snare stuttering to climax on the drop. The EP closes with title track “Escape the Algorithm” (150 bpm), which finds Ace deftly moving from 4/4 to broken beat and back around two big build-ups. An ominous synth serves as a through-line across the complex arrangement, amplifying the energy as it sinks, swells, and shifts to staccatto.  

Valerie Ace’s Escape the Algorithm EP is all killer, no filler, and its length attests to its purpose: the unnatural extension of night to well past dawn. Fortunately, the machine that is Valerie Ace does not only power the decks, it powers the dancefloor, too.Escape the Algorithm
